Ambleside Tap Yard

About

Situated in Ambleside’s old mill yard adjacent to the historic Bridge House, we specialise in serving pasteurised brewery-fresh craft beers.
We are extremely passionate about our beer and it is our mission to champion the very best of craft ales. Our offering will have a strong Cumbrian focus and will constantly change, giving local brewers the opportunity to showcase the best of Cumbria. 

We believe everyone deserves to experience beer at its best, as if it were drunk in the brewery itself and our innovative relationship with our brewing partners allows us to achieve exactly this. Our beer is collected directly from the brewery where it is transferred from the brewer’s conditioning tanks, into 500 litre vats for transportation, transported to the tap yard and then pumped into our 6 copper tanks – each capable of holding 880 pints. Throughout this process the beer never comes into contact with the air…..in fact the first time it does is when it hits your glass!

The extensive bar selection is complemented by quality wood-fired hand-stretched pizzas, gourmet burgers & sharing delicatessen boards made using only the finest freshest locally sourced ingredients.

We’re lucky enough to be positioned close to several popular Lake District walking routes, making us the perfect place to fuel up before a hike or to rest up after a hard day trekking in the fells. We welcome dogs into our bar area and have bowls outside where they can enjoy a refreshing drink.
