Wild Boar Estate | Bar, Restaurant & Inn

Tucked away in the tranquil woodlands of Windermere, The Wild Boar Inn is a haven for meat lovers and ale enthusiasts alike. This rustic retreat offers a hearty menu, a selection of local brews, and a cosy atmosphere that makes it a must-visit on any road trip through Cumbria.

What’s on the Menu?

The Wild Boar Inn takes its meat seriously. Their in-house smokehouse ensures that dishes like the wild boar and black pudding Scotch egg are packed with flavour. For mains, the rack of lamb and homemade beef burger come highly recommended. Vegetarians need not fret; there’s a vegetarian alternative to the popular savoury afternoon tea, which is a meal in itself. To wash it all down, the inn offers three real ales from its own brewery, complemented by a restaurant-standard wine list.

A Few Tips Before You Go

While the inn is a popular spot, especially during peak hours, the friendly staff strive to provide excellent service even when it’s busy. However, to ensure a smooth experience, it’s advisable to arrive early or consider making a reservation. The 72-acre ancient woodland behind the inn offers several walking trails, a tarn, and opportunities to spot local wildlife. Binoculars and wellies can be borrowed from the inn. For those seeking more adventure, activities like clay-pigeon shooting, archery, and falconry can be arranged.

Whether you’re in need of a quick refuel or a leisurely break, The Wild Boar Inn offers a taste of Cumbria that’s sure to leave you smiling.
