The Belted Will Inn, Hallbankgate
Wednesday, January 16th, 200810 minutes drive from us in Hallbankgate is a great pub, the Belted Will Inn The food is excellent, mainly home cooked and all the meat is from the Lakeland Farms. (I think this is all organic). There is a wide range of starters, main courses and sweets to choose from and there is also a specials board.
There is also a choice of Local Beers. They had the Jennings Cumberland and Hesketts Newmarket Brewery Doris 90th Birthday brew on when we visited a few days ago. The Cumberland was a very good beer. Interestingly, there are a number of local breweries around the area and the pub changes them frequently. The most popular ones are the Brampton Bitter, Helvellyn Gold and Cold Fell…
Information is available in the pub for the Cumbria Ale Trail. There are 22 breweries in Cumbria, the closest one being the Geltsdale Brewery in Brampton. This is a 5 barrel brewery built within the Old Brewery.
