The Dog and Gun Inn is an acclaimed village dining pub at Skelton, north-west of Penrith, run by Ben and Elizabeth Queen-Fryer since 2017. Expect a short, ambitious menu built on local produce rather than standard pub fare, so it’s worth booking ahead. It’s a few minutes from the gardens at Hutton-in-the-Forest. Penrith is the nearest station, about 9km south-east.
