The Plough

The Personal Touch

The Plough at Lupton has the kind of pared-back authenticity that feels timeless. The interior has been opened up to create expansive spaces that still manage to have distinct cosy areas, with open fires and stoves to warm you through. It’s the sort of place where it’s all too easy to while away a few hours in front of the fire flicking through one of the daily papers they leave about the place (sipping on a pint of local ale of course). New owner, Paul Spencer, has a good eye for detail and has created a rustic and stylish pub that mixes informality with good levels of service. The six bedrooms reflect this contemporary style to a tee with their smart country feel, but not an iota of chintz. The food on offers fits the bill, too, with its focus on regional flavours and gentle modernity that sees classic combinations and preparations presented with flair. In an area rich with pretty villages and glorious walks to be had in not one but two national parks, the Plough is a singular place in a special setting.
 

Sticky Fingers

A family-friendly place, young people are more than welcome throughout the inn. But don’t expect ‘everything with chips’ or a fancy playground in the garden.
 

Muddy Paws

The Plough is the sort of inn that sticks loyally to its pub heritage and thus canines are welcome in the bar. And when it comes to stopping over, one of the bedrooms is dog friendly.


Alfresco

If you’ve spent all day on the fells or out and about in Dales, you might want to stay indoors (maybe by the fire), but if you’re still keen to soak up the rays, sit outside in the garden for a wee snifter or a full meal.
 

What’s On?

There is a lot going on at the Plough, with wine and cheese evenings and cookery master-classes occurring from time to time, plus regular evening such as steak night (Thursday) and two-course curry specials on a Wednesday.

The Plough

Do Not Disturb

Several of the distinctive bedrooms upstairs are suites, with separate sitting rooms or sitting areas, while one of them has an adjoining twin room making it ideal for families. With country charm and a contemporary lustre, they’re decorated in soothing pastel colours and some have original beams on show. There’s genuine warmth to the rooms, a homely touch with the likes of smart bedspreads and cushions on the generously sized beds. The bathrooms are rather special – spacious, contemporary and kitted out to the max. From under-floor heating to roll-top baths and monsoon showers, there’s a luxurious feel to the en suites, some of which are positively huge, but none of them are exactly small, and each and every one looks the business. Towels and bathrobes maintain the luxe feel, and posh toiletries come from the Cumbrian company, Bath House.

Mastering the menu

Complementing the Plough’s credentials as a proper pub, lunch offers the option of hot sandwiches served with crisps and a side salad, or generous ploughman’s and fisherman’s boards aimed at sharing. But those sharing boards are on the main menu, too, which is available from midday to nine at night and extends to confit duck leg accompanied by braised red cabbage and sweet potato fondant, and 8oz Aberdeen Angus burger with Lancashire cheese and all the trimmings. A great amount of the ingredients come from local supply lines and, given the surrounding area is farming country, meat and game are a good bet. Daily specials enable instant reaction to seasonal variations, while Sunday’s slow-cooked beef topside is worth sticking around for. Fresh fish deliveries are courtesy of Neve Fleetwood, who have been operating out of the Lancashire port for decades. You can sit wherever takes your fancy, from the bar to the new look dining area with its French doors opening onto the garden, or nab a table in one of the several sheltered spaces outside. Chef Matt Adamson delivers punchy flavours in feel-good dishes that seem wholly appropriate in the setting. 
 

On the menu

Homemade pork pie simply served with piccalilli and micro salad £5
Twice-baked goats’ cheese soufflé, poached apple and candied walnut salad £5.50
Slow-roasted aubergine braised with saffron, char-grilled Portobello mushroom, green tomato chutney, cardamom couscous, lime & mint yoghurt £11.50
Pan seared fillet of salmon, pak choi, roasted cauliflower, crushed new potatoes £15.25
White chocolate pistachio cake, pistachio puree, star anise white chocolate sauce & pistachio ice cream £5.50
 

Sunday Roasts

Traditional slow cooked roast beef, Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes and root vegetables, proper gravy £12.95
 

Foodie Extras

Spoiled for choice, with the Lake District and Yorkshire Dales to choose from, the Plough is a walker’s paradise. From the pub, head up Farleton Knott with its footpaths and bike trails, and take in the magnificent view.  And let the kitchen make up a picnic package so that you can ‘do your thing’.
 

Time to eat

Tea and coffee – Farrer’s Tea & Coffee Merchant, Kendal (www.farrerscoffee.co.uk) 
Bread – Lovingly Artisan bakery, Oxenholme (www.lovinglyartisan.com) 


Behind the bar

As this Cumbrian pub borders Lancashire and Yorkshire, Paul chooses cask ales (up to four at any time) from the many great breweries in this neck of the woods. He picks a range to ensure variations of style, and it doesn’t get much more local than something from the Kirkby Lonsdale Brewery just down the road. The same approach applies to soft drinks, with Mr Fitzpatrick’s cordials and juices from Lancashire, while Spirit of the Lakes premium products can transform the humble G&T into something with a truly local flavour. Wines come from Kendal merchant Frank Stainton, who has been immersed (almost literally) in the wine trade for decades, with the list containing some interesting stuff and plenty of options by the glass.


Bar snacks

Own-spiced nuts
Silver & Green olives
Cakes and scones from owner’s wife’s Bakery at No4 in Kendal

WALKING

www.lakedistrict.gov.uk
www.forestofbowland.com
www.yorkshiredales.org.uk
www.morecambebay.com
Walking is one of the top activities in the Lakes and on the Plough’s doorstep are two of Britain’s most popular national parks – the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. To the east the Dales are bisected by the Pennine Way, Britain’s first long-distance national trail, while to the south, the Forest of Bowland puts the accent very much of rugged grandeur and solitude. Or, for an unforgettable experience, book a guided walk across nearby Morecambe Bay, one of the region’s walking highlights.

CYCLING

www.cycle-route.com
www.cyclethedales.org.uk
www.golakes.co.uk
www.forestry.gov.uk/northwestengland
The Lake District has an assortment of challenging off-road mountain trails, gentler country lanes and classic cross-country routes. The Forest of Bowland is also perfect for cycling or try Gisburn in the south-east corner for mountain bike trails. The Yorkshire Dales Cycleway extends for 130 miles and is a circular route taking in most of the main Dales and can be divided in bite-size chunks. 

Inn Location - The Plough

Activities

Fishing, Forest of Bowland BB7 4QF
The Forest of Bowland has four of the region’s loveliest rivers – the Ribble, Hodder, Wyre and Lune – yielding game fish, including salmon and sea trout. Fisheries include Stocks Reservoir

Places to Visit

Settle to Carlisle Railway BD24 9EJ
More like a cleverly designed visitor attraction than a vital lifeline serving countless communities in the wilds of Cumbria and North Yorkshire, the Settle Carlisle Railway offers a constantly shifting backdrop of fells and moorland.

Leighton Hall, Carnforth LA5 9ST
Designated by English heritage as a rare Grade II* listed building, Leighton Hall, near Carnforth, was rebuilt in the Adam style in the mid-18th century. There’s much to see here, including the magnificent Hall itself, attractive gardens and parkland.

Hill Top, Near Sawrey, Ambleside LA22 0LF
The National Trust describes Hill Top, on the banks of Lake Windermere, as a Beatrix Potter time capsule. It’s a wonderful experience as you step back in time to 1914. The garden is also a great attraction, with its flowers, herbs, fruit and vegetables.

The Lake District
This most famous of national parks is packed with visitor attractions, historic houses, quaint towns, pretty villages and, of course, some of the most stunning natural scenery in the UK. Much of southern Lakeland is easily accessible from Lupton – among the best known are Lake Windermere and Coniston Water.

Morecambe Maritime Museum, St George's Quay, Lancaster LA1 1RB
As well as all the absorbing stories and statistics, learn about the devastating effects of Morecambe Bay’s treacherous tides over the centuries.

Sizergh Castle & Garden, Sizergh, Kendal, LA8 8AE
A family home near Kendal that represents 700 years of history. Still occupied by the Strickland family, Sizergh has a wealth of tales to tell. Take time to explore the garden and the 1,600-acre estate.

Carnforth Station Heritage Centre, LA5 9TR
Carnforth Station Heritage Centre and the Brief Encounter Refreshment Room opened in 2003 following major restoration, but the site’s greatest claim to fame is the part it played in David Lean’s film Brief Encounter, shot on location here in 1945

Shopping

Sleepy Elephant Books, 41 Main Street, Sedbergh LA10 5BL
Walking books – vital in this part of the world – and collectable books, in addition to a good range of gifts and cards, can be found at this delightfully-named shop in Sedbergh’s Main Street.

Settle, BD24 9EJ
The North Yorkshire town of Settle has been described as a department store in the Dales, a pretty apt description considering the place is packed with independent shops brimming with character and personality. There’s also a traditional weekly market

Kendal LA9 4BH
Kendal, on the edge of the Lake District National Park, is full of local produce retailers, independent shops, indoor and outdoor markets and a host of chocolate houses and specialist food shops. Wainwright’s Yard is great for all kinds of shopping.

Ambleside LA22 9BS
The streets in this little Lakeland town are busy for much of the year. There’s a great choice of craft, gift and gallery shops to be found as well as coffee shops and bistro-style restaurants.

Kirkby Lonsdale LA6 2HG
On the banks of the River Lune and a short drive from Lupton, Kirkby Lonsdale has picturesque alleys and cobbled courtyards, traditional food shops and fashion and home décor outlets. The street names add to the charm – Jingling Lane and Salt Pie Lane among them.

Reviews

Red Magazine, August 2015,
"Calling The Plough at Lupton a pub with rooms attached is like calling The Savoy a hotel with a bit of a name for itself. The Plough is in the heart of Cumbria’s hilly landscapes, on the edge of the Lake District and the Yorkshire Dales. Settings don’t come much prettier. Yes, it’s on the edge of a main-ish road, but the views are 100% rural idyll. If the rooms are fabulous (with the seriously swanky bathroom in the Torsin suite worth a special mention), the downstairs pub and restaurant are just as appealing, with a fine selection of wines and ales and good, well-priced country pub-style food on offer. The only downside? Getting in on weekends can be very tricky indeed..."

Inn Location - The Plough

Farrer’s Tea and Coffee House, 13 Stricklandgate, Kendal LA9 4LY
From 1819, when John Farrer started a family business of specialist tea and coffee merchant at Stricklandgate, the tantalizing aroma of roasting coffee became a feature of daily life in the market town of Kendal. Visit the tearoom to sample the great range of teas and coffees available while enjoying fresh cakes and maybe an exhibition of local art.

Orton Farmers’ Market, Orton Market Hall, Orton CA10 3UB
A bit further afield (just off M6 J38) but worth the run is the really rural Orton Farmers’ Market, which takes place on the second Saturday of each month from 9.00am to 2.00pm.

Kendal marketplace on the last Friday of the month from 9.30am to 3.30pm.

Stainton Wines, 1 Station Yard, Kendal LA9 6BT
Feisty, independent, opinionated and honest is the best way to sum up Frank Stainton’s approach to his business. Beginning in 1984, the overriding quest has been to source, import and sell the most characterful and interesting wines at every price point. “Our £7 bottle of wine will be the best value £7 wine on the market”.

Askham Hall, Penrith CA10 2HH
These historic buildings, both with fascinating gardens that are being reinstated to their former glory and magnificence, are well worth visiting. They also have special cafés that draw on the Lowther Estate’s wide range of organic and rare breed produce.

Churchmouse Cheeses, The Churchmouse at Barbon LA6 2LL
In addition to finding a wide range of cheeses and a café, Churchmouse are famous for their tiered Wedding Cake Cheeses – well worth a visit and Barbon is a delightful village at the foot of the Middleton Fells.

The Fenwick Arms Lancaster Road, Claughton LA2 9LA
Smartly refurbished by the Neve family of Fleetwood fish merchants and specialising is fresh fish and and seafood, the timbered Fenwick Arms stands in the lower Lune valley only a few miles from Lancaster.

Lovingly Artisan Sourdough Bakers, Oxenholme Station, Kendal LA9 7HF

We reserve the right to edit any comments left by contributors to the site.


BOOKINGS AND VOUCHERS

Our site is an online platform that allows you to search for and book accommodation. We are acting as disclosed agent for the relevant inns featured on our site. This means that any booking or contractual arrangement you make with any entity featured on our site is made with that entity, and not with us. By entering information into the booking software, you authorise us to pass on all relevant information to those entities with whom you are seeking to make a reservation, and to control and/or process such data in accordance with the provisions of the Data Protection Act 1998. In order to make a booking you are required to provide credit card details. We will enable the relevant inn to gain access to the credit card details via the site in the event of any cancellation and a cancellation charge is due. By making a booking you are expressly authorising access to and use of such data and for the relevant inn to deduct the cancellation charges notified to you in the event of a cancellation.

Bookings will be subject to the terms and conditions of the individual entity with whom you contract, including any cancellation polices they may apply. It is your responsibility to check the terms of such entities before you enter your contract with them. If you wish to cancel a booking, you must cancel using the site unless exceptional circumstances do not permit you to gain access to the site, in which case you should liaise directly with the inn concerned. In either case you may be liable for cancellation charges. Whenever your booking is cancelled whether directly or via the site, it is your responsibility to check your account with HIP to confirm the booking has been cancelled and to be notified of any relevant charges (and to pay them). If you do not attend the inn on the dates booked, this will be treated as a cancellation by the relevant inn on the applicable terms. The accommodation provider’s cancellation policy may continue to apply after your arrival at your inn. In the event that you decide to shorten the duration of your stay, such a request will be dealt with at the discretion of the accommodation provider, and not by us in our capacity as the booking agent. If you amend your booking in this way there may be a cancellation fee levied by the accommodation provider and you should refer to the provider’s cancellation policy for more details. Where the accommodation provider requires a minimum stay for rooms attracting a certain price, this will be clearly stated on our site prior to booking.

We are not responsible for inaccuracies in the booking process; you must check carefully the agreed dates and prices before completing your booking. In particular, you are advised to check the availability of any offers, promotional codes, or the acceptance of gift vouchers before completing the booking, as well as whether any special requirements you may have can be met. Please note that Inn Places Special Gifts may not be available at all the inns where special promotions are being run, and such promotions may have additional terms and conditions applicable.

Although we gather credit card information to secure the booking, the booking will be with the relevant inn to whom, by virtue of you starting the booking process you authorise us to transmit the credit card information.

To confirm a booking, you must be authorised to make the booking by all the persons named on the booking and their parent or guardian for all party members who are under 18 when the booking is made. By making the booking, you are confirming that all persons named on the booking accept the terms and that you will inform the other persons named on the booking of the confirmation details and any other appropriate information. By making the booking you also become responsible for making all payments due under the booking.

The display of accommodation for hire on the site is an invitation to treat only.

By completing and submitting the booking form you are making an offer to book temporary accommodation room nights, which if accepted by accommodation providers, will result in a binding contract made between you and the accommodation provider.

Completing the booking process online does not constitute acceptance of your offer. We will send you an email confirmation following your booking on behalf of the accommodation provider confirming acceptance of your offer and forming the legally binding contract subject to any applicable terms and conditions.

Because the contract for your accommodation is between you and the relevant inn, any queries or concerns should be addressed to them. If you have a problem during your visit, this must be reported to the inn immediately. If you fail to follow this procedure there will be less opportunity for the inn to investigate and rectify your complaint. The amount of compensation you may be entitled to from the inn may be reduced or you may not receive any at all depending upon the circumstances. If you wish to complain when you return home, you should address your complaint to the inn concerned.
