Review of The Drunken Duck Inn: ? Write your review

A reliable, renowned gastropub in the heart of the Lake District, the Drunken Duck provides stunning views, several roaring fires & excellent, wholesome fare for travellers & locals alike. An onsite brewery (Barngates Brewery) ensures freshly brewed beer is available, while dishes are typically hearty in the bar (lunchtime brings soup, sandwiches & ploughman's), more ambitious in the restaurant: confit of duck with rocket & chilli jam ahead of, perhaps, grilled halibut on asparagus & crispy smoked pancetta bruschetta with a poached egg & truffle oil hollandaise. British & Irish cheeses get their own menu, & it's all ably supported by a wine list that is strong on wines by the glass.

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.
