The Strines Inn

Strines is an old English word meaning 'the meeting of waters', and this popular free house overlooks Strines Reservoir. Although it was built as a manor house in the 13th century, most of the present building is 16th century and it has been an inn since 1771. Traditional home-made fare ranges from sandwiches and salads, to 'giant' Yorkshire puddings with a choice of fillings and a pie of the day. There is an enclosed play area and a separate area for peacocks, geese and chickens, which roam freely.
