The building has been managed by The National Trust for the last 10 years but with so many other huge projects they decided to find a local operator to take over the mantle and continue their great work.Lanty Slee would of regularly passed The Stickle Barn on his way to Wrynose Pass which he used to travel to Ravenglass for supplies, a 4 day round trip by pack horse, accompanied by his faithful lurcher to alert him of any excise men laying in wait!We took over at the end of May and spent 5 weeks renovating the building and getting ready for the summer, we hope you love what we have done and we have lots more planned for the coming months.We offer amazing cakes, coffee, local ales, Lanty spirit, hand crafted cocktails, nibbles, hearty meals and good times from 10am to 10pm every day.

Relatively limited menu for long stays but excellent service ( generally). Food is good although I had a steak which was rather chewy.

We had excellent food, sea bream and chicken, friendly and very service oriented staff. Unfortunately we got a Chinese couple next to us whose smacking, slurping and spitting of their starter was so loud and disgusting that we decided to leave earlier than planned … hope a better experience next time.
