Old Dungeon Ghyll - Menu

Stopped for our evening meal after a day walking in the area. Food was spot on. Chicken and ham pie with chips and fresh, leafy veg. Recommend you leave room for the sticky toffee pud. Will definitely be back.

Ate here twice in our weeks hols with our 2 dogs. Had pies both times as they were really good, chicken one night, steak another. It’s definitely a walkers bar, no frills, but food excellent, friendly staff, good prices. £14.50 for pie, chips and fresh veg.

This cozy and welcoming traditional pub offers delicious simple dishes and a great selection of beer. The fireplace adds to the charming atmosphere, and I can imagine it would be wonderful to sit outside in the summer. I popped in after feeling chilly and getting ready for a cold night in my van, and enjoyed a delicious meal. Plus, they are dog friendly! View menu

I absolutely love The Old Dungeon Ghyll, it's my favorite pub in the valley. The staff always make me feel welcome. Our group of Ratti members, totaling 43 people, booked our AGM meal there. The food was excellent - we had pre-ordered a 3-course meal, followed by coffee, mince pies, and tablet fudge. The meal was perfect, as was the service. I highly recommend this restaurant to others. Thank you, guys!

I absolutely adore this pub for its traditional charm and unspoiled beauty in the Lake District. The staff is friendly and accommodating, and they offer a wonderful variety of well-maintained local ales from nearby breweries. Though it can get crowded at times, there is a spacious outdoor area for enjoying the summer weather. Dogs and hikers are warmly welcomed, and the food menu looks fantastic as well!

Been coming here on and off for too many years. Today was the first time in a while. The toilet walls had a lot of mould on them and could be sorted easily. Not many interesting real ales that you couldn’t get anywhere else which is a shame. More super local ales would be a lot better. Bar man was pretty miserable too. Beer garden was as nice as ever though and good to chat to some tourists and walkers. Hopefully it’ll be better next time I’m back. View menu

The two slowest barmen that we’ve ever encountered. Made no attempt to serve customers in order, leaving a few of us standing like we were invisible for a good 10 minutes, whilst others came and went. Then one of them wandered off to make a coffee for the pair of them, leaving customers looking at each other in amazement. It wasn’t especially busy, but we would have been waiting a very long time to be served if we had continued to wait, but we went elsewhere.

We love the ODG, rustic and the perfect stop off during or after a walk. Our initial visit this time didn’t start off well, a dog belonging to a local was prowling the bar looking for food, it was friendly enough however I want to be able to enjoy my crisps in peace. Once it left our visit was far more enjoyable. Fully appreciate that the staff are not responsible for owners dogs, however they can have a ‘polite’ word as I suspect that ‘tourists’ bring in the most income. Will we be back, absolutely, it’s a great place.

Stopped at the nearby Camp site and our group used the Pub as our meeting point. Have not been here since February 2020 and it was great to return. At the busier times we had a bit of a queue to the bar but as we were stopping till late in the evening it often became quiet when the day walkers went. Ate here bothe nights. First night the battered haggis and scampi on the second night. I didn't have the steak pie but others in our group highly rated it. Didn't have a pudding myself but others in the group did and the portion was large. Decent WiFi which is helpful in the valley. Looking forward to returning again and I won't leave it so long next time. View menu
