Woolpack Inn, Boot (Hardknott Bar & Cafe)

Improve This Listing

This iconic lakeland pub is at the western foot of Hardknott Pass, surrounded by stunning scenery, and just under a mile from Dalegarth station. A popular family-run pub, it is renowned for good hearty food including traditional main meals, snacks, light bites, cakes, pizzas, all available all day, starting with breakfast at 8am. The well-kept cask ales have choices ranging from local and Cumbrian to interesting from further afield. Ciders are from a range of small independent producers. The Hardknott bar was refurbished to a high standard, with a contemporary, modern interior and a massive TV screen for sports viewing. The two bars offer an attractive mix of traditional and modern styles, with wood burning stoves in both areas. The Woolpack is popular with tourists, walkers (and their rucksacks and boots), families and locals. The pub participates in the annual Boot Beer Festival held in June, when over 100 beers are sold by the three pubs and a great variety of food events are held in each. Last year's Cider Festival (21-24th April 2016) had 50 real ciders, 50 bottled Cider and 40 flavours of sausage!!!
