About The Inn Collection Group
Step inside an Inn Collection Group pub and you’ll notice we’re a little different. What we’re pleased to offer are traditional pubs with rooms, the perfect places to eat, drink, sleep and explore in hand-picked town, coast and country locations. Our doors are open to everyone — from walkers, cyclists, golfers and birdwatchers, to families, couples and groups of friends. It’s all about a warm welcome and at an Inn Collection Group pub that includes non-residents enjoying a drink or a meal with us too. Each pub has a wide range of alcoholic and non-alcoholic hot and cold drinks. Local cask ales are our speciality, though you’ll also enjoy our excellent selection of chilled lagers, ciders and thoughtfully chosen wine lists. Our menus are thoughtfully created by our Head Chefs and differ at each inn, to recognise the surroundings and use of local ingredients. You'll find our inns across Northumberland, County Durham, North Yorkshire, the Lake District, Lancashire and North Wales. Whether it's adventure you seek, new explorations, relaxing by a roaring fire or the most delicious, homecooked meal, we have you covered.
