Pub Guide

Local pubs & clubs.

Black Dog Inn

Broughton Road, Dalton-in-Furness, Cumbria. Phone: 01229 462561.

Although strictly in Dalton, The Black Dog is nevertheless popular with Lindal and Marton villagers, being within walking distance of both villages. This inn is a favourite of real ale fans. It is featured in the CAMRA good beer guide, and was picked by Furness CAMRA as their pub of the year 2009/10.

At any one time, there may be four to six ales and stouts from around the country available, plus some mind-blowingly strong ciders direct from the cellar. Add to that some interesting lagers and more usually available optics, and you’re totally spoiled for choice!

With two open fires lit in the colder months, and a welcoming friendly atmosphere, an evening here is a must. Also available is an excellent and well priced selection of traditional, home made, pub food.

Lindal Bowling Club

Pennington Lane, Lindal-in-Furness, Cumbria. Phone: 01229 582217.

Unknown to many people in the area, Lindal Bowling Club is tucked away on Pennington Lane, right on the edge of the village. Apart from obviously being used for bowls matches, the club also has a bar that is open every night of the week, with non-members being most welcome.

For a small annual sum you can get club membership, which entitles you to use the facilities, including free use of club and bar for private functions. The club boasts a pool table, pool team, and ladies' and men's darts teams.

Being a club, the drinks are a little cheaper than most places, and a small but well kept selection is on offer, including Theakstons beers. If you want to do more than just drink, visit on a Monday night when 3D is enjoyed (no I won’t tell you what it is, you’ll just have to visit!) and the club is full.

With friendly bar staff and a warm welcome from the regular club members, no pub crawl in the area would be complete without a visit.

Railway Inn

6 London Road, Lindal-in-Furness, Cumbria. Phone 01229 462889.

A bright and friendly place to meet and relax. The oak bar, slate floor and comfortable furniture set the scene. There is state of the art audio equipment and a large plasma screen for watching sporting events. No juke box and no fruit machines. The beer garden offers uninterrupted views of the countryside and sunshine all day (except when it rains). Food is served daily.

Beers from cask include local favourites such as Another Fine Mess, Laughing Gravy, and Black Dog Freddy, plus many other guest ales which are on rotation. On draught there are Foster's, Strongbow, Theakston's Mild, John Smith's Smooth, and Guinness. There are the usual bottled beers and alcopops, and a regularly changing selection of wines from around the world.
