Dog-friendly Lake District inn serving a celebrated Sunday roast and seasonal British fare
Award-Winning Sunday Roast and Local Ingredients
The Wheatsheaf Inn serves a Sunday roast that has drawn praise from both locals and visitors for its perfectly cooked meat and crispy roast potatoes. The menu changes regularly and includes dishes such as shellfish chowder, steak and ale suet pie, and cheese soufflé, all made with locally sourced ingredients. Guests can order the steak and ale pie for two people and dine on the outdoor terrace looking out onto the village.
Lake District Gateway and Nearby Attractions
The inn sits in the village of Brigsteer, within the Lake District National Park and a short drive from Sizergh Castle and Kendal Golf Club. Hiking trails such as Scout Scar start directly from the pub, making it a convenient base for walkers. The 100-kilometre drive from Leeds Bradford International Airport leads into quiet country lanes that surround the hotel.
Pet-Friendly Policy and Dog-Free Stays
Dogs are welcomed throughout the hotel with no extra charge, and fresh water and milk are provided in a corridor fridge for guests and their pets. The inn offers a guide to local walks that guests can take directly from the pub with their dogs. For those travelling without pets, the hotel maintains dedicated non-smoking rooms and a quiet atmosphere inside the bar.
Renovated Accommodations and Guest Rooms
Six guest rooms are available, each with an en-suite private bathroom, a flat-screen TV, and a tea and coffee maker. The king rooms include a comfortable bed and modern bathroom fittings, while the double rooms feature a private bathroom and are accessed via an external staircase. All bedrooms are non-smoking and have been redecorated under the new ownership since February 2025.
On-Site Dining and Local Brews
The bar serves a selection of Robinson ales and a range of gins, with cask ales kept in good condition. Dinner is offered in the dining area or on the outdoor terrace, with the kitchen using ingredients from the surrounding Cumbrian farms. The inn has received guest reviews calling it one of the best pub roasts in the area, with the cheese soufflé described as a standout dish.
