Outgate Inn
About
Nestled in the heart of Ambleside, the Outgate Inn has long been a favourite among locals, walkers and festival-goers. Dating back to the 18th century, this charming, traditional pub offers a warm, family‑friendly atmosphere that feels like a home away from home. Guests are treated to a hearty menu of classic pub favourites – from a towering ‘OFC’ burger to a spend‑thrifty 2‑4‑1 weekly offer – all paired with a fine selection of cask ales, wines and craft beers. The pub also showcases a laid‑back beer garden where patrons can enjoy drinks, food and live sport on big‑screen TVs, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed afternoon or evening out. Dog owners love the Outgate Inn for its welcoming policy – dogs are free to roam the pub and are usually rewarded with treats. Motorhome and caravan visitors can also use the free off‑street parking, ensuring you can rest easy after a long drive. With easy access to popular walking routes such as Tarn Hows, Wray Castle and Beatrix Potter’s Hill Top, the Outgate Inn is an ideal base for anyone exploring the Lake District. Whether you’re after a hearty meal, a pint of local ale or a friendly place to catch a match, the Outgate Inn delivers a genuinely cozy experience.
