Fodor's Expert Review Tweedies Bar & Lodge

One of the region's best gastro-pubs, Tweedies attracts many locals as well as visitors. Delicious updated British classics include beer-battered Fleetwood haddock, braised ox cheek with lardons, and an 8-ounce burger with roasted shallots. Everything is served in a smart, cozy, wood-filled contemporary pub with mellow music, flickering candles, a slate floor, and a fireplace. The attached Lodge next door provides a cozy, informal place to stay. Several of Cumbria's best beers are on tap alongside a good selection of world beers.
