The Bridge Inn

About

The Bridge Inn sits at the heart of the stunning Buttermere valley, where panoramic vistas of Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag greet every visitor. The cosy bar welcomes both walkers and their four‑legged companions, making it an ideal spot for dogs to relax with a pint of local ale or lager. Inside, the kitchen serves freshly‑sourced Cumbrian lamb and homemade Ayrshire ice cream, while the bar’s extensive wine and spirit range boasts over 20 malt whiskies and a selection of gins. Open daily from 12 p.m. to 11 p.m. (10 p.m. on Sunday), the bar requires no reservations, and guests can easily slip in for a hearty Sunday roast, which is available on an “first‑come, first‑served” basis. For those seeking a more intimate dining experience, the Mill Beck Dining Room operates on Friday and Saturday and requires a table booking, offering a refined a‑la‑carte menu crafted by the head chef.
