    This place has just opened. Looks a cracker (and we've got our beer on there but I know you're a cider man).

    If they've got good beer they'll have good cider & some German beer (lager), no doubt. Was a few decent pubs there on my last visit. 2-3 years ago. No craft only type places though.

    Loweswater Gold. Can be found in a number of pubs in Ambleside. One of the best beers around.

    Loweswater Gold is the reason you never see an ugly woman up there after 9.00pm

    Google “The Drunken Duck” just down the west side of the lake from Ambleside. Great pub, great food and the pub has its own brewery.

    Our particular favourite is the Britannia Inn at Elterwater.
    Some nice local beers and wonderful menu, my delight being Lamb Henry, roasted lamb in mint sauce and red wine etc etc.
    Herdwick lamb is very strong flavoured having been raised on mountain herbs and grass.
    I try to replicate it at home and it is superb, such wonderful flavours.
    We bought a half lamb a few years ago from a Langdale farm. My word !!!

    Hawkshead Brewery at nearby Staveley is worth a visit. Some cracking beers there :)
