New owners, Sam and Phil, opened the doors early March 2023. Still two hand pumps with local beers and regular music or sport events. Looking very promising.... see new Facebook for updates.

A former hunting lodge in Ormside valley five miles south west of Appleby built in 1707 and overlooked by St Peter's church on the charming Asby beck and village green. An unspoilt pub with beamed ceiling, flagstone floor and iron range fireplace. Two rotating ales (mostly local) and homemade food in the evening including stone-baked pizzas. Popular stop on the Pennine Route 68 cycleway with Rutter Force waterfall within two miles. Closed Monday and Tuesday in winter. Very welcoming.
