We are incredibly proud to share some exciting news…
The Wheatsheaf in Beetham has been named Cumbria Tourism Pub of the Year 2026.
Receiving this award is a huge honour and one that means so much to our entire team. It recognises the passion, hard work and dedication that goes into creating memorable experiences for every guest who walks through our doors.
A Proud Moment for Our Team
Running a country pub is about so much more than serving great food and drinks.
It’s about creating a place where families celebrate birthdays, walkers relax after exploring the countryside, friends catch up over lunch, golfers enjoy a well-earned meal, and visitors discover everything that makes Cumbria such a special place.
Every member of our team plays an important part in making those moments happen, and this award is a reflection of their commitment to friendly service, quality food and genuine hospitality.
