God's own bar snacks. Simon Rogan has recently bought the village pub in Cartmel, meaning he has a trio of restaurants that mirror Bray exactly ie Pig & Whistle = Crown, Rogan & Co = Hind's Head and of course L'Enclume = (or is greater to!) Fat Duck.
There doesn't seem to have been any makeover (yet) so it is a standard higgledy piggledy pub, with three little rooms, one of which still seems to be for local drinkers. There was an intriguing looking menu, essentially accessible versions of the L'Enclume MO eg Pollock, warm potato salad, bacon, leeks, mussels and lovage emulsion or pear crumble with hyssop ice cream. But we stuck with the bar snacks.
The BRILLIANT bar snacks - a highly aromatic Scotch Egg with a perfectly runny yolk and a lovely mustard mayonnaise, a great Welsh Rarebit on soda bread, and some moreish hake goujons with handmade tartare sauce.
Service was a bit stressed and forgetful, but sweet. A really good light lunch option if you're doing the Rogan/L'Enclume weekend.
The marinated mackerel with radishes and dill was a very pretty plate of food although the breeze in the beer garden played havoc with the presentation. This was a wonderful fresh intensely vinegary dish with soft yielding mackerel. The vegetables including carrot, onion and fennel added textural crunch with more aromatic notes coming from the mustard seed and parsley. This was a fabulous dish and light years away from typical pub grub.
The Pig & Whistle in Cartmel is Simon Rogan’s local (in the sense that he lives around the corner and it’s his). After a recent meal at L’Enclume (here) I hung around for a Sunday Roast and a few bar snacks. Star dish: Roast Suckling Pig and all the trimmings.
Quaint pub in gorgeous Cartmel. Proper cosy, country pub feel. Bar staff were lovely and welcoming, and so were the locals! Only had a drink here but the food sounded pretty good and did look it too! Will have to go back and try it. Definitely worth popping in for!
Visited on pie Wednesday. Good selection. Had beef/guiness, crammed with meat, very tasty, choice of potatoes, selection of mixed veg, followed by Tim's sticky toffee pudding..... yummy 😋 😋 😋 very attentive staff, one very lovely chatty girl who's at Manchester uni.
Loved this place, walked over from Grange which took us about an hour and the sun had decided to come out which was welcomed. A real local rural pub in a lovely setting on the outskirts of the village, very well staffed and very welcoming with a good atmosphere. Well stocked local ales which I had the Cumbria Way and It went down a treat, food 🍲 is on offer and we tried from the nibbles board on the bar chilli 🌶 beef 🥩 nachos which was a meal in its self and was delicious 😋. A hostlery that is not to be missed.
Great bar, great views, missing out on food, should have the beef barms on every night, not just quiz nights, as the rest of the pub food prices are scandalous
Stubled upon this pub on our walk through Cartmel. Wednesday is pie night. Lovely homemade pie. The pub dog was very friendly. Would highy recommend.
We just went for dinner, didn't stay. The food was lovely. Bit short of vegetarian options but accommodating with requests. Service was good. We went for a drink in the bar after, but it was empty, which seemed strange for a Saturday night but it was pleasant enough.
Called in for a drink here on the off chance due to breaking down nearby- the staff couldn't do enough to help! Very very friendly and helpful- I had to leave a review!
Felt very relaxed and comfortable whilst having a pop waiting for the rac man 😆😅
Round the corner from lovely little village famous for sticky toffee pud!
We came across this lovely little country pub last night on our way back to where we have been staying over the Easter break. Food was fantastic! highly recommend service was excellent also. Definitely will be returning.
Nipped here for a drink whilst on a day out. Lovely, quaint pub, owners lovely and friendly, dogs are allowed too.
Great pub this. Massive beer garden outside at the back. Lovely food too. Definitely recommended 👌
