The Langstrath Country Inn, Keswick

An early spring visit to this pub which is closed for two or three months every winter. The handful of people already here when I arrived 30 minutes after opening time were all tucking in to some food. I just wanted a beer, but I felt less inclined when I saw Tirril Borrowdale Bitter the only pump clip among the four hand pumps. I've never yet had a decent beer from this local brewery, and I would honestly have preferred Wainwright. As well as being too cold and not very good, this poor excuse for a beer was £6 a pint. To cap it all, there was a radio station playing cheerful pop music at an unignorable volume. Fortunately the WiFi signal was strong enough to enable me to write this review. Result!
