The Mardale Inn
Bampton Valley Community Pub
Coming back to life!
After raising £400,000 to 'Save a Pub for the Valley', 'The Mardale Inn at St Patrick's Well' was purchased by over 500 members of Bampton Valley Community Pub in May 2022. The building has been closed for 5 years and needs significant investment to secure its future for the long term.
As cash permits, we are reopening in a phased manner. We started with drinks only on July 1st 2022 and in late November 2022, given invaluable support from The Prince's Countryside Fund, we reopened the kitchen . We are optimistic to reopen bedrooms by May 2023. Email us here if you want to keep in touch about bedroom status.
Come visit our refreshed pub, meet our friendly team led by Manager Steph and Chef Nick, and enjoy the best in Cumbrian Ales, draught beers, wine, gins and food.
Help us bring the soul of this important Valley community hub to life!
