18th century Coaching Inn whose unusual name derives from the near-side boot when riding out of Carlisle! Redesigned by Carlisle's State Management architect Harry Redfern, alas the rear aspect, so typical of his work, was largely altered by a recent extension. The inn is traditionally furnished with two small 'rooms' at the front and an open plan area to the side and rear. Quiz night Thursday. Large car park to rear on site of the former bowling green.
