Queens Head Inn

A great option away from the tourist trap of Pooley Bridge. 300+ years old so loads of character with an open fire and beams. Food was great with lots of choice including specials. Beer was excellent - the Dizzy Blonde highly recommended. Staff were friendly and attentive. Would definitely return when back in the area.

Booked Saturday lunch here on back of reviews, and was not disappointed! Fantastic service, amazing food, great atmosphere and value for money! Will definitely be back and recommend a visit if you're in the area! Ps - the ham, egg and chips were a huge hit

We had prebooked a table through the website for Saturday, early evening. Arrived on time (car park at the back and more spaces on the roadside) and got seated straight away next to the bar. Cosy little table surrounded by loads of character. Its an old place and bordering on the 'out of date' and in need of a bit of a refurb. However, I don't think it does really. The 'oldness' adds to the charm and feel of the place. Staff were all friendly, chatting and very professional. Food and drinks ordered. Food took an acceptable 15-20 mins to arrive. Good quality, well cooked. I wouldn't say it was anything super special. The portion sizes were only just enough. Taking into account the increased prices of everything, I would have just liked a little more for the money paid. A bit more coleslaw, a side salad, it wouldn't have taken much. This is the only reason why I have rated it 4 out of 5 rather than a full 5 out of 5! We will 100% return again 4 main meals and a drink each - £84.00 (£21.00 each) PS. Open fire in the dining area wasn't on and the temperature was bordering on the cold side. Always nice to have an open fire blazing away. Makes you want to stay longer and spend more money (free tip to the landlord)!

Popped in here after a local hike for a drink and some well needed food with our dog. The lady working - I didn’t catch her name unfortunately, Was super helpful and served us straight away with no delays. Me and my partner both ordered the fish & chips and it was just delicious, one of the best I’ve ever had. Our dog was also served a bowl of water and we ordered him a bowl of sausages too which went down a treat after his long walk. Thanks guys. If we are ever in the area again we will return!

It was amazing once again, Always feel welcomed and comfortable. Room clean and well organised. Love been able to get fresh milk for drinks in room. Pub food spot on

Fantastic from check in to check out … friendly efficient staff .. food was amazing and reasonable price breakfast was tasty with good quality products

Great place to stay. Clean modern rooms. Decent breakfast and evening meals. Cosy bar with friendly and helpful staff.

What a beautiful traditional pub! Full of beams and roaring real fires, it was a historical gem. We stayed for 1 night as a stopover on our journey to Scotland. The food was exceptional, although a little limited on vegetarian/pescatarian food. Tirril is very quiet and only a short walk to Penrith along the Eamont Way. It's well signposted especially when having to navigate the busy roads at Penrith on foot. Overall, a charming, friendly place. We will return.

Beautiful 300 year old English inn which oozed character and charm. Friendly, warm staff who made us all feel welcome and like old friends. Lovely food, nice bar drinks and comfortable, newly refurbished rooms. Great breakfast. One night stop which was very enjoyable. Big thanks to Mary the brilliant barmaid for her great service, banter and humour!!
