Proper old school pub. Feels like you're in someone's front living room.

First visit for me and it most certainly will not be the last. From the moment my friend and I walked in (she has been a few times) to the moment we left every thing was top notch. The staff were very welcoming and even though we had not booked and the place was packed ( amazing for a Thursday lunch time ) they found a table within a few minutes. Drink order taken. When drinks arrived our lunch order was taken and arrived quickly. The food was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious. I had the cumbrian lamb pie and my friend the corby hill steak pie. Both of them to die for. I decided not to have a dessert but my friend had Tasting of Raspberry, not only did they look good but they tasted great too. Great experience certainly go back. Thanks to everybody 10/10

Lovely pub in Rockcliffe with beautiful cosy interior. Very welcoming and great atmosphere. Really enjoyed our Sunday lunch. Everything was cooked well, tasty and great value. Specially liked that the pupster was made to feel welcome. Will definitely be back.

Popped by for lunch with no reservation and they managed to squeeze us in - so pleased they did as it was amazing! We had fish & chips, a pork tasting plate and a couple of drinks. All reasonably priced, fresh and so tasty. The staff were super friendly and attentive. Lovely cosy atmosphere. Will definitely visit again when in the area! Thank you to the team

We ate here yesterday the food is sublime I honestly couldn't fault a thing. Some of the most delicious food I've eaten in a long time what a Credit to the area! The pub was extremely busy and the staff were clearly stretched but so lovely and professional and worked so hard. We will be back again soon thank you for all you do. The prices are great value for the food quality. Keep up the fantastic service. The children were welcomed and I felt totally at ease and the decor and setting was just wonderful.

Had a wonderful birthday lunch at the Crown and Thistle. Service was attentive but relaxed, welcoming and friendly, couldn't fault it at all. The meal was absolutely delicious. The stars being off the special menu. My husband really enjoyed his partridge starter and loved the main of venison ! Tender, beautifully cooked and delicious accompaniments. He stated it was one of the best meals he has had in a very long time ! I had the seabream, also from the special menu and it was morish !! The wine, a bottle of Pinot Voir, was mellow and perfect for our lunch. Would highly recommend this venue. Thank you and well done to all the team. Xx

First time we've been here in a long time. It is a locals pub,but we were made to feel really welcome by the customers and Fly and his staff. Will definitely be back.
This place is so popular, booking is a must. Eight of us had some beautiful tasting starters from King Prawns to mushrooms to goats cheese which were seriously good and our main courses were equally as good. The beef medley was noted as the best ever, the luxury fisherman’s pie with fresh vegetables was incredibly tasty and the chicken dish was also excellent. It was a 30th Birthday celebration & the staff brought out our own cake which was a nice touch in a very busy environment. Every member of staff we encountered was a credit to this restaurant. Not one issue or complaint from the 8 of us and looking forward to returning soon. Thankyou

What a amazing find. Me, Husband, 2 kids and our dog all went for an evening meal as we were staying local and I have to say it’s one of the best steaks I’ve ever had. The pub itself is done out lovely so is outside, the staff were all extreamley friendly and helpful and there is not 1 thing I can say bad about our experience here.
Great local pub , always a welcome in here.
