The Pheasant Inn near Bassenthwaite Lake was acquired by the Inn Collection Group in late 2019 and was subsequently closed for many months to allow building works to take place.

Prior to this it had been owned by the family of Lord Inglewood from Hutton in the Forest for many years.

The Pheasant had served Draught Bass in the unspoilt public bar (pictured below) for as long as anyone could remember, until a previous manager under the old ownership decided to take it off sale, despite protests from many drinkers.

Recently, new General Manager, Stuart was appointed along with new Head Chef, Justyna.

Loweswater Gold is the house beer, plus a couple of guest beers.

Stuart is pictured here in the restaurant bar.
