The Bridge Inn doesn’t take table bookings, so please pop in and we will seat you as soon as a table is available.
Let us treat you to full table service as you wine or dine with us – after all, who wants to get up to the bar after scaling innumerable fells.
Full of character, the Bridge Inn boasts views looking towards Red Pike, High Stile and High Crag. With Red Pike to the east and Melbreak to the west, our public bar is situated in one of the most picturesque valleys in the United Kingdom and epitomises true Lakeland hospitality – welcoming hungry and thirsty patrons.
The Bridge Inn offers a selection of traditional English bar meals, including local Cumbrian dishes and many other pub favourites.
We pride ourselves on the quality our food, with a high emphasis on the use of local Cumbrian ingredients, even from Buttermere itself.

WALKERS BAR
Our dog-friendly bar Walkers Bar serves a varied selection of Local ales and lagers. Although our bar does cater to many walkers, the name “Walkers Bar” is in fact a reference to the Reverend Robert Walker who obtained a beer licence under his brother’s name around 1734 and founded the Bridge Inn – which dispensed hospitality and local Cumbrian ale to all and sundry. We like to keep the tradition going, and to this day we still have local Cumbrian cask beers available.
FOOD AND DRINK MENU
Our menu has been carefully selected to highlight the best that the Lakes and Buttermere has to offer. We use the freshest of ingredients and source all our products locally, where possible, from our Herdwick Lamb in our HotPot to our Buttermere Ayrshire Ice Cream in all our Desserts (sourced fresh from Sykes Farm, Buttermere).
With an extensive international wine menu, over 20 malt whiskies, a large selection of gins and spirits (including options from the Lakes Distillery – located 20 minutes from our door) and our offerings of Cumbrian ales and lagers – we are sure we will find the right ‘tipple’ for you.
OUTSIDE AREA
