Situated
in the village of Tirril, offering real Ales,
excellent food and a warm welcome is the epitome
of an English Country Inn. Dating from 1917
it has a wealth of beams, brasses and memorabilia,
as well as four open fireplaces, the largest
of which still has in place its original hooks
for smoking meats. Formerly known as The Board,
the Inn was re-named the Queens Head by its
enterprising owner, just in time for Queen Victoria’s
coronation. It was the same man, John Bewsher
who bought the pub from the Wordsworths in 1836,
after it had been in the family for over 20
years. The final sale document known as the
“Wordsworth Indenture”, is still
on display in the bar. As with quality Inns
throughout the ages the Queens Head today produces
home cooked food to the highest standard, being
one of only three pubs in Cumbria to be recommended
in the “Which” Good Food Guide,
making use of local produce. (back
