The Devonshire Arms, Ulverston

This is a detached corner pub with patio area. The pub itself is quite plain, in a white and coffee two-tone scheme and modern windows. Saying that, the fact that there is a Romanesque window in the loft area gives the place the look of a former Methodist Chapel. The interior is now one irregular open-plan room; the former rooms having been ripped out. The decor has red and yellow walls, with some wood panel, wood floor and white ceiling. There is a pool table and a dart board in an area where lots of footy team names are painted on the wall. Maps, old photos and a few copy documents are on the walls for interes, along with an array of pump clips. Seating is a mix of perimeter, traditional stools and high chairs. There are several TVs showing sport at my visit. The service was fine and the place busy with what seemed a regular clientele. Beer; usual tap stuff with York Ghost Ale, Cumberland Corby Blonde, Saltaire IPA, Kelham Easy Rider and Cumbrian Loweswater Pale Ale. The Ghost was decent. A little modern for me, but still very much worth a visit - has the pub games and sport.

The Devonshire is situated just away from the town centre and it is fairly close to the train station. Once inside there were a couple of rooms and we had a drink in the lounge which was quite a nice room,when we visited this pub it was a Thwaites tied house and there were two real ales on here we had a drink of Thwaites bitter and this was a very nice drink the other beer was Thwaites mild. The pub was quite busy on our Saturday night visit. I did'nt manage to get a photo of this pub. Pub visited 15/4/1989
