Mortal Man

Troutbeck's oldest pub, dating from 1689, with a gabled facade, traditional rooms (£100 to £150) and a cracking fell-view beer garden. Food-wise, expect pub classics such as Cumberland sausage, chicken Kiev and shepherd's pie. If you're wondering about the curious name, have a look at the pub sign on your way in – it's taken from an old Lakeland rhyme.
