Blue Scrumpy left this review about Herdwick Inn
Once again, I'm thwarted from visiting a pub because they cannot seem to communicate their opening hours.
I parked up in the car park at the rear and walked down the steps into the rear entrance of the pub. Somebody was around, but the bar was quiet.
I waited patiently, but nobody came. Wainwright was the only real ale. I was about to call the pub's number, but somebody beat me to it. However, the phone rang off the hook.
Eventually the person upstairs came down. She turned out to be the cleaner and she wasn't sure if the pub was open or not! She went looking for other staff for me, but to no avail, stating that she believed the winter opening hours were in effect and they weren't serving until 4pm.
I'd actually planned my visit here to be on a Friday as the pub's website and Facebook page states that they open at midday on a Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Seemingly they were both wrong and the pub now doesn't open until 4pm on any day of the week.
All terribly disappointing and I wasn't about to return considering I was heading well away from the pub, I knew that Wainwright was the only ale option and the weather was about to take a turn for the worse with the onset of Storm Arwen.
How pubs like this stay open is beyond me.
