Phil Wooly of our branch visited the Yew Tree Pub and Eatery in late October. It was built in 1647 and is situated in the hamlet of Seatoller which is in the very 'jaws of Borrowdale'.

Phil says it has been refurbished to an amazing standard, with lots of Honister slate used from the nearby quarry.

There was a single real ale on sale, namely Honister IPA from Tirril Brewery.

This completes a trio of excellent real ale pubs in the upper reaches of this beautiful valley, as the Glaramara Hotel and the Langstrath Inn are nearby.
