At this authentic Turkish restaurant with a beamed ceiling, white walls, and wood furniture and flooring, the chef combines specialty ingredients from Turkey with those grown and made locally in Cumbria, so every dish has a multicultural twist. The owners are warm and welcoming hosts.
Flocked floral wallpaper, old lamps, an open fire, and a handsome wooden floor set the tone at this appealing pub. Homey and intimate, the pub serves big, tasty portions of traditional, hearty British food such as scampi tails, chicken-and-leek pie, and gammon (ham) with egg and pineapple. You can wash it down with real ale or bottled beer. The excellent Sunday lunches are popular with locals.
