Pheasant Hotel, Dubwath update
It’s all change at The Pheasant as their unspoilt public bar is now manned at all times.
Owing to acute staff shortages since the Inn Collection Group bought this old coaching inn, most of the time drinks have had to be purchased in the restaurant bar, with the public bar being open but unstaffed.
This lovely old hotel used to be right on the A66, before it was by passed. It even had a petrol pump outside many years ago.
The route of the current A66 near there is built on what used to be the railway line between Keswick and Cockermouth.
The Pheasant had sold draught Bass for as long as anyone could remember, until the previous owners took it out.
Currently, the house ale is Loweswater Gold plus a changing beer. Both real ales are currently priced at £5.50 a pint.
