The Mill, Ulverston

Good Beer Guide entry in a town that has a magnificent 7 - in 2025. OK Lancaster Brewery tied house that I think has just reopened after floods. The Lancaster Red was in fine condition. There were several others from the brewery noticed but not sampled. Front bar with a narrow corridor leading to dining rooms, including one above on a mezzanine floor. They managed to squeeze us in for a £15 sunday lunch that was reasonable. I scrutinised the bill carefully to check if I had been charged for service. I was going to ask for it to removed after having to wait for everything from ordering, to condiments, to the bill, to the drinks. All this despite their silly buzzer system for assistance. There was no service charge added.

As noted this is a Lancaster Brewery pub. It does indeed have 10 handpulls with 3 Lancaster beers and a selection of guest beers. It's a bit of a sprawling place with a rear area. Bare stone walls and a traditional, if insipid, feel to it.

The Mill is a popular Lancaster Brewery pub in Ulverston. We were greeted on arrival and directed to a table. Supposedly, the pub has 10 handpumps. But only 6 ales were on during my Thursday afternoon visit. Lancaster Amber, Blonde & Red are regulars. Also on was their Eureka and guests Thwaite's Wainwright & Cumbrian Legendary Ales Loweswater Gold. The welcome was not the warmest and I was certainly expecting a better range.
