Now sports a vast array of unused handpulls. Just three in use on a Saturday night and a pretty dreary selection at that, I know this is more of a summer pub but I was still underwhelmed. The place actually felt a bit rundown and not the slightly irritating but vibrant bar it used to be. Think it was sold to Punch when Mitchells collapsed so maybe that explains the downturn.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about The Water Witch

Pleasant canal-side location with a good number of wooden tables beside the towpath. With the weather good, and restrictions inside due to the coronavirus, I didn't get a proper look around, but the semi-traditional interior seemed to suit the heritage building. I also didn't get to see the handpumps, but I was assured that that the five names reeled off were reasonably local, and my Tiffin Gold from Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery (£3.75) certainly hadn't needed to travel too far.

Still has nine hand pumps (see previous reviews - I was last here just over five years ago), but at the time of my latest visit two of these had ciders available, with just four real ales. Two were from local Cross Bay, with the others still local-ish but further away. If I visited pubs for food, as most of the customers I saw were doing, I would probably like it more than I do as a beer drinker. Having said that, my Hawkshead Winter Red was in good condition, and I didn't feel totally out of place, so it is good enough for another visit some time. I still prefer the White Cross, though, just a brief stroll along the towpath.
