Askham is beautiful village on the eastern edge of the English Lake District. The Queens Head inn, right in the heart of Askham, is probably about as traditional a village pub as you can get. The building dates back to somewhere in the late 17th century.

The pub was taken over by Askhamites Katharine Duckitt and Tommy Martin on January 21st, 2010.

We're just getting settled in after a fantastic opening weekend. We're planning a stack of changes and will be updating this site regularly.

The pub will be closed briefly on Monday (January 25th) to do some decorating, reopening at 12pm on Tuesday.
