Kings Arms

This popular local pub is conveniently situated near the no.1 bus route in Hawcoat Village (between the main town centre and the hospital). It sells ales mainly from Cumbrian micros. A beer menu on a chalkboard lists forthcoming attractions. The pub, which has been on these premises since the 1860s, has been extensively extended and renovated, and features an open bar with adjacent separate rooms. Friendly staff give a warm welcome. Well-behaved dogs are allowed in one of the rooms.
