Will Larter left this review about Ambleside Tavern

Not to be confused with the nearby Ambleside Inn; both pubs used to be called something else, so why they've chosen their current names is a mystery to me. It's probably more than 10 years since I was last here, and it seems smarter than I remember it. I was only really here because there was a football match I wanted to watch and this seemed to be the only pub in town that was going to be showing it. Even here the TV had no sound, and I was redirected to the basement sports bar, where the sound had been enabled and I was able to watch Luton Town beaten in the FA Cup 3-2 by Chelsea (after having led 1-0 and 2-1) in glorious isolation. The Jennings Cumberland Ale was in pretty good nick, and service was friendly and helpful.

Small pub. A bit untidy but quite acceptable. Drinks were fine.

Fairly turgid town pub. Has a couple of passable ales on, but not much else to commend it.
