Welcome to our pub! It’s our latest venture and our first classic, country inn. Located within close proximity to our brewery (just over two miles as the crow flies), the Royal Oak is a grade-II listed, 17th Century pub that can be found in the main square of Cartmel. It’s a proper community pub with rooms to stay in and a riverside beer garden.

You’ll find plenty of our beers on the bar along with a carefully curated selection from guest breweries. There’s also ciders, spirits, natural wines, softs and snacks sourced from other small, independent producers, many local. There’s a kitchen cooking up seasonal comfort food as well. The place means a lot to us, with many of the team having visited it since they were children. So, do come and pay us a visit. You can expect a warm welcome. It’s our local after all.

Great beers in a lovely pub with a fabulous garden. Dog and vegan friendly. Cartmel ain't bad either. Staff are friendly, helpful, professional and go the extra mile that makes it a special place...best place to drink in the area...food's good too. Oh, so are the bar snacks...

Popped in on a very hot day for some light lunch. Drinks and food were great. I tried a local cider, very refreshing. And then a local wheat beer which tasted just like a German Weissbier, delicious. To eat I had a Hunters chicken & stuffing topped pork pie with rocket & picalilli which was perfect. My partner enjoyed her Crudites (raw veg), no frills but the homemade roasted pepper dip was lovely especially with the fries we shared.

Such a fantastic addition to Cartmel under new ownership! The beer selection from Fell Brewery is incredible. Good food & live music! Winner.

Delicious food and absolutely beautiful view at the beer garden. Smiling staff faces and great service. My recommendation to visit this nice place with a lot of different beers from their own "Fell" brewery, which is just in 2 miles from Cartmel.

We stayed in Cartmel for a week in January 2022 and visited the Royal Oak several times during our stay for food and just drinks. Really good selection of beer and wine, the food was lovely and reasonably priced. We all loved it, a great friendly, welcoming and cosy pub!
