Review The Old John Peel Inn - Bowness-on-Windermere

Paul Richardson
This pub has recently reopened. We have family in Kendal and have stayed in Bowness every year for the last 30 years or so. Popped in Friday evening after seeing in had reopened. This pub has loads of character. The new owners super friendly. They are going to be serving food again soon. Love this pub will be back soon for a meal. Look it up when your in Bowness you won't regret it. A++++

Beautiful little pub with the cheapest drinks we’d experienced so far. We didn’t eat here unfortunately however the environment was wonderful and the hostess just lovely.

Extremely friendly pub with lovely staff and a great warm atmosphere to get away from the winter cold! Would definitely recommend when travelling to Bowness.

Ic and Flic making their first visit here. I have only been a couple of times. Very traditional pub. Had a good pint of Theakstones Best. Very good but the only real ale on. Seems very quiet compared to those close by. No food but a proper games room to the rear with pool and darts. (Flic thought darts involved pinning his brother to the board.) Pool skills even worse.

The new hosts have only just opened this wonderfully traditional British pub after it’s been closed for 6 months. In just two weeks they have transformed the place from what it was to welcoming venue with a friendly atmosphere. I’m sure I’ll be back with friends soon.

First time going in here, we always pass be but never went in. We definitely be coming back here. The lady was lovely behind the bar, happy and friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended 👌

The new landlords are absolutely wonderful! So welcoming and the whole atmosphere is how pubs used to be. As tourists, the local were very friendly to us and we ended up returning to this wonderful little gem. There was live music on one of the nights we attended and it was amazing. One of the only pubs that still has a pool table too! Highly recommend the John Peel for a great night!

I loved this pub , just 50 yards off the main Street , if you want a drink without the tourist crowd then look out this place , it even has beer mats...how great to be able to drink without getting dripped on.Give the OLD JOHN PEEL INN ago you'll like.

By Far the best Pub in Bowness! Myself and the Mrs absolutely loved this place, a 'home from home' pub, not your typical tourist white wash boring pub! This place has got character, and the new owners are so welcoming! Live music was great on Friday night, and we played many games of pool here too! Lots of larger choices for me and pooch friendly too! Look forward to coming back, and also trying the food in the future :) Absolute hidden gem of bowness :)

If you like wine bar, modern type pubs, then this ones not for you. But if you like propper pubs with character then you'll enjoy a few pints in here - the Hawks Head beer was spot on. Good pub grub too, sirloin and steak & ale pie cooked to perfection. Chips and veg fine but have had better. Worth a visit.

Highly recommend! What a lovely pub � food is excellent and the staff are really friendly! They made my family (four small children) and our dog very welcome, even ruby my dog got given a dog treat by the lady serving us �

Plates were child size needless to say dinner was all over table and food seemed all microwaved however it must have broken at some point as we were all served apart from one person who got hers when we were nearly finished. Alarm bells should have rang when we walked in and hardly anyone was eating just drinking
Denise Dodd
The pub could do with decorating, we ordered T-bone steaks they could have been put on bigger plates but they were gorgeous and cooked how we wanted and the desserts were lush would definitely go back
Charles Galloway
