The Screes Inn - Table reservation

We chose to stay at The Strands Inn when looking for a base for a couple of nights to fell walk in Wasdale. We booked two twin rooms between four of us and its was at an excellent price. The rooms were both clean and welcoming and perfect for what we wanted. The Screes Inn opposite is own by the same people so we had accommodation and breakfast in the Strands and food and drink in the Screes Inn.

We came across this pub in Eskdale after a long drive back from Wast Water and were pleasantly surprised. The staff were all very friendly and welcoming, creating a strong sense of community.

I stayed at this pub for two nights with a friend while hiking up Scafell Pike. The pub had a cozy atmosphere, delicious beer, a wide variety of whisky options, and the food was outstanding. Unfortunately, I was too tired from hiking to fully enjoy the whisky selection, but I hope to come back with my wife in the future. I would definitely stay here again.

First visit. Very welcoming staff. Bar and dining area had a good mix of locals and weekend visitors. Extensive menu. Food was very good and service good too. Only downside for me was although food orders were taken at the table, drinks had to be ordered at the bar which felt a bit disjointed. Would happily visit again

Good food and great little pub, accommodation needs updating and more cleaning, standard approach to breakfast, need options especially with fruit juice as we had a diabetic and someone else who didn’t like orange juice there was no alternative
