Service very slow. I appreciate hospitality are finding it hard to employ staff, but there seemed to be staff, tables had not been cleared and took my husband nearly 10 minutes to get served at the bar. Food not great. Menu very basic usual pub food with pizza menu. We both had the Cumberland sausage with mash gravy and maple roasted vegetables. Sausage was good proper sausage, a big pile of mashed potato although not sure if it was proper mash but the maple roast potatoes awful, don't think they had seen the inside of an oven and certainly had not been roasted if they had seen the inside of an oven with maple syrup.
I had 3 small pieces of carrot and some turnip. Gravy tasted lovely and there was plenty of it, a little disappointing since it cost 15.00. The couple at the next table had pizzas, now they did look and smell good, so my advice would be stick with pizza if you visit here. Coniston is a lovely village.

Despite being busy service was fairly quick. The food was good, and the staff were friendly. Prices were reasonable too. There is a nice seating area outside.

Delicious, but simple, menu. service excellent - location even better, clean and friendly - went for the "hot" pizza(a bit tame really.); tasty but didn't live up to its billing. would go again certainly. very "dog friendly". Nice work Yewdale chums.

Good pub food and nice ales. They had run out of pizza when we visited. Also confusing messages about no dogs at entrance, despite about 8 dogs in the bar!

Went for a pizza here which was excellent, and afterwards had a couple of drinks. Staff were lovely and friendly, service good, a good place for a pint.
