Will anyone be around there the weekend BEFORE the late May holiday this year? Friday to Tuesday. We're having a family get-together and hiring a big house (sleeps 8 but there will be 7 of us, all adults) from 17th to 21st May. It's at the farm about 800 yards up the lane beside Brackenrigg Inn!  We will have an S8 an S4 and a Batmobile (SLK350) between us.  More to the point, as we'll probably end up eating at Brackenrigg a few times, does anyone have any comments on the evening food?

In my opinion the food was average. The steak was poor. There is a much better restaurant about 4 miles up the road Called the Ullswater View. Food and ambiance there were good. HtH.

 Food was just average pub grub - nothing special. But some nice ales.

Thanks for the feedback. Just planning ahead and will probably book a table for the evening we arrive just to make life easy. Everyone likes good beer (or ale as the youngsters now call it) - we "brung em up proper!". And the meat-eaters will happily send a steak back if it's not good enough.

I was in a pub in Edinburgh the other day and the young person behind the bar told me that didnt have "cask  ales" but they had beer - in which (she) included (by a wave of her hand) some fine cask beers/ales as well as American pish and lager. Anyway, enough talking, I'm off to get an ale....
