A very modern interpretation. Opened in 2023, it has been a hugely successful addition to the local ale scene. Very busy but quite small also. Lovingly restored with wide ranging seating styles, high sharing tables to big loungers and everything in-between. The restoration includes revealing the beautiful original walls and pillars that are timeless. It is all table service, and the bar is accessible, customers are always welcomed to see the products and chat to the knowledgeable and helpful staff. The front is entirely glazed, and the view dominates the venue. There is an ever-changing picture of Morecambe Bay and the Lakeland fells. Quite spectacular in every aspect. Food is simple bar snacks and hand stretched pizzas are their speciality.

The bar fittings are from 1960 and were originally used in the now closed Holyrood bar in Edinburgh, before being moved to the Belhaven Visitor's Centre. A restored antique beer engine is now the centrepiece of the main room.
