Hole in t' Wall

Walk into Hole in t' Wall and you'll understand why locals have been propping up this bar for years. It's the sort of place where the landlord knows what you drink before you order, where the banter flows as freely as the Robinson Ale, and where you'll overhear conversations about everything from fell walking to the state of the lake. The food is unpretentious—proper pub fare that doesn't try to be fancy but absolutely delivers. You're sandwiched into Robinson Place in the heart of Bowness, close enough to the waterfront to feel the energy of the village without the tourist theatre.
