Watermill Inn & Brewery

Good proximity to work, so we called in this evening for a meal, as we do from time to time. Excellent service, great food, good size portions. The main course and dessert were home made, ice cream locally sourced, and the home made truffles on the cheesecake were out of this world, and there is always a warm, welcoming atmosphere for locals and non locals alike. Plus the roaring log fire in the bar is always a welcome sight on a cold evening. Well done to all the team who provide this amazing service.

Stopped here for food on our way home from the Lake District. Four of us ate. All our meals were delicious. Well cooked, full of flavour, good portions, and reasonably priced. Staff were friendly and helpful. All food was home made including the battered fish and chips. I can recommend this place if you’re in the area.

We came to stay here as a birthday treat for my husband as he enjoys real ale and craft beers and we love the Lakes. all the staff were helpful and cheerful. we had our evening meal from the specials menus and the food quality was excellent. Our room had everything we needed and the bed was really comfortable. The only thing which could make the room better is a small shelf in the en suite for toiletries but that is being picky. thank you so much for such an enjoyable stay we will return,

Called in on way home from Lakes. Didn't book. Very friendly service, good food - we had pie and tortellini ( which was actually ravioli) and good choice of beers. Very dog friendly.|Great atmosphere, visit was Saturday teatime in January.|Definitely visit again

Food was excellent! Great portions and well prepared. We both had the beef burger and some of the beers brewed in-house. The only thing was, because it takes almost an hour to get there and we had intended to eat while watching our friend who was performing that night, we brought our dogs with us. However, we didn’t realise until we arrived that dogs aren’t allowed in the newer part of the restaurant where the entertainment was being put on. It’s nobody’s fault, really, but it was disappointing.

We have been dining at The Watermill for over 20 years. We like the dining room that allows dogs as we feel it has more character but there is also a dog free lounge. The menu choice is varied and there are always specials on the board. Service is quick and when your food arrives it is hot and portions are of a good size. The micro-brewery means more ales to try, you can try 3 at a time in 1/3rds of a pint which is great. You can also have ales presented in a gift box to take away. The staff are friendly and helpful and the place is always busy so booking is advisable.

We were on holiday and decided to give the inn & food a try for our evening meal, we were not disappointed. Table for 7 booked sitting inside and the food was fresh and tasty. Highly recommended. Staff were great. Large carpark with disabled parking close to building, additional seating under cover also more seating under umbrellas. Also noticed dogs welcome.

Very disappointing ! Haven’t been for a few years, always had great food on way home from lakes after days out, called in yesterday with family on my recommendation, always used to have gammon steak which was melt in the mouth delicious. After ordering our food and paying for it at 5 pm, it finally turned up an hour later ! My gammon was paper thin and burnt almost to a crisp, my daughter complained her burger was dry and not nice,|Needless to say , won’t be calling again.

Friendly staff, great beers & food, dog friendly. This is a proper pub, just like they should be. Lots of seating inside and a good few tables outside for that rare day of sunshine. The beer is excellent, their commitment to this is demonstrated by their own onsite brewery and the great selection of handpulls. The food is good standard pub fare with a few more modern options like nachos and curry on the menu too. Fish and chips was a popular choice with our group along with steak and ale pie. They have specials on the blackboards every day. There is a small car park and more spaces along the lane so no problems parking. They are dog friendly and the whole place is generally full of well behaved and gorgeous ones. Staff are friendly and helpful so all in all a great place to stop if you are in the area.

The Watermill is a traditional pub, with different rooms spreading out from a double sided bar in the centre. It's also a microbrewery, and names all it's beers after types of dogs. Hence you have names such as Collie Wobbles and Shih Tzu faced. I had a half pint of Dog'th Vader, a dark and tasty stout, and very nice it was too. We didn't have any food, but it was a Friday night, and the place was stowed full with people having dinner, so it seems to be very popular. The guy who served us probably could have been a little bit friendlier, but he probably gets stick to death of stupid people like us laughing over the dog themed names. Or maybe he was just feeling a bit ruff.

A great pub tucked away in the small village of Ings near Kendal. They have a microbrewery on site where they produce just delights as 'colliewoobles' beer and 'A bit of ruff'. they also specialise in selling other beers brewed locally. The food is really good and reasonably priced, I would especially recommend going on their steak nights where you get to select your piece of steak to be cooked. It's a dog pub though, so expect furry friends under tables or at the bar (most are very well behaved though). I look forward to a meal here every time I'm in Cumbria.

What a quaint location with amazing food! Definitely some of the best fish and chips and sticky toffee pudding. Will definitely be back!!!
