This delightful 17th Century Inn built in 1683 takes its name from its original function as a ‘toll gate’ for people travelling east or west, north or south. With a growing reputation for fabulous food, a beautiful garden and outside seating the Gate Inn is a place you will want to return to again and again.

Quality is the most important thing to all of us here at the "Yat". It is essential to us that local fresh ingredients from 'independent' Cumbrian producers and suppliers are used. Our meat is all Cumbrian. Occasionally we've been known to stray across county borders for a particular breed of animal, but no more than a few miles! The words "free range" and "organic" are in the forefront of our minds when placing any order and our fish is delivered fresh every day from a merchant in a neighbouring county.

Cumbria benefits from no less than 16 breweries. While our cousins in Yorkshire claim to make the best ale in the country we would argue against this! At Yanwath we try to represent at least three of these fine Cumbrian breweries at any one time.

The ethos of the ‘Yanwath Gate Inn’ is good quality informal dining. We are a country pub with dining rooms. The atmosphere and service should be relaxed and comfortable.

Bookings Highly Recommended

We are situated on the B5320 close to Ullswater and just 2 minutes from Penrith (see location page for more details)
