The Drunken Duck Inn

Steve M. (50s, Male, United Kingdom)

We discovered the Drunken Duck when staying at Hawkshead several years ago. Enjoying a meal in the bar along with beer brewed on the premises was great fun. As indeed was the story of how the pub got it's name. Attached to the bar is a restaurant, with great quality food that we were surprised to find in such an 'out of the way' Lakeland inn. Cod served with mini black puddings exemplified the adventurous nature of the menu. We have returned on several occaisions spanning several years and found the food (and beer!) quality to be high and consistent. Cream tea in the garden on a sunny day was also a real treat. We have stayed overnight in the rooms of the adjoining building, which were well furbished, light and airy. This is a firm favourite and enjoyed also by our young children.
