Three miles from Windermere in Winster, the Brown Horse is a popular dining pub. Produce is sourced from the Brown Horse Estate, furnishing the chefs with meat and game such as venison, spring lamb and pigeon. Beams and fireplaces conjure a rustic atmosphere, and there are several ales on tap from the in-house Winster Brewery.
