The Brown Cow Inn, Dalton-In-Furness

Attractive old building with an impressive front garden you need to navigate to gain entrance. Unusual internal layout with a central staircase. Britannia tables, wonky beams, pewters and brasses gives it an old skool feel. Very quiet on a Monday evening and inevitably my ale choice of the four mainstreams (Wainwright) was flabby and warm (NBSS 2). Shame, as the place itself is rather tidy. 6.5

Possibly the busiest pub I've been to since they re-opened on July 4th. The hottest day of the year had drawn dozens out into the garden area, plus another area adjacent to the car park. We managed to get a table near the entrance to the pub. But with table service only, it was a long wait for service. I did managed to peak into the bar to work out what was being dispensed. Black Sheep Best Bitter is the regular ale. Guests were Ulverston Celebration Ale, Cumbrian Legendary Ales Loweswater Gold & Woodforde's Simcoe. Has a nice location, as previous reviewers have said. I didn't get chance to see much of the interior.
