Brown Cow Inn, Dalton in Furnessback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Rediscovered this pub, last week, on a walk from Roose. A quirky inn ,full of character , with a good selection of beers and excellent meals , which were reasonably priced. Staff were welcoming and friendly (well done Jane ).
Delightful outside dining area also available.
So impressed with the Brown Cow, returned there with friends, yesterday

I agree with the last 2 posters - an excellent pub, generous helpings of good food and great choice of beer, but the one barman referred to is the down side to the place. Still worth taking a risk despite him, as it's basically a good pub.

Great pub shame the staff are a bunch of idiots apart from the waitress staff. All the barman are ignorant, one seems to make you very unwelcome and he's a brummy!
Beer is excellent though and the food massive in portions but too many items on the menu make deciding a nightmare.
Perfect pub to sit out

Classic, traditional boozer in the lower part of this pleasant town, down a winding street from the church and castle. It's small, with one opened out area with two distinct parts, a bar to the right as you enter and a larger area to your right. Both are quite characterful, with brasses, beams and real fires in both. A pleasant outdoor area is large and had most of the trade on a sunny day. Food is served but, while popular, it doesn't overshadow the boozer status- it's pub grub and the prefix 'gastro-' definitely doesn't fit here.
The beer is from a mixture of nationals and locals, with London Pride, coniston Bluebird, Theakston's XB, Hawkshead Windermere Pale and Black Sheep available. The Windermere was excellent.
This is the pub to head to if in the village, and for good reason.

A dream of a pub.I believe it is open all day,and serves food most times.Not my local,but always has an excellent range of beers.One of the best pubs in the whole of Furness.

Friendly staff & regulars in this pub serving a selection of five local real ales in fine form. Old Oak beamed pub with dining area upstairs and lots of outdoor seating. Serves food all day and has good value cheaper daytime options. Big TV screen over the fire looked totally out of place but luckily wasn't on when we visited.
|
The brown cow serves a varied selection of real ales which are well looked after, it is popular with people who like to eat out; and since the introduction of the smoking ban has a sizeable beer garden/smoking area.
|
Good beer, good environment, industrial food.

This is one of those pubs you probably wouldn't look twice at as you drove past - what a mistake that would be!
Inside you'll find all you need, oak beams (part of the pub is supposed to be 900 years old), a great choice of decent beer from independent local brewers (I had the Bryson's "Shifting Sands" which was gorgeous!) as well as good honest pub grub.
If you're in the area, give the big chain pubs a miss and seek this one out - your tastebuds will thank you for it, and you'll be supporting indepenent breweries!
