Our first award.... Yes, after only 4 months of trading we were delighted and pleasantly surprised to be awarded The CAMRA Pub of the Season Award for the Summer Season 2007. Thank You to CAMRA members and all of our customers for such a good start to our time here.
Our second accolade has been to be included in The Beer Bible, ie: The Good Beer Guide published by CAMRA and available from all good book shops for the asking price of somewhere in the region, but not too sure exactly how much, but I think it is probably about £14.97ish. No doubt someone will come and slap my hand for being incorrect.
Our third accolade has been to be included in The Good Beer Guide for another year. This is a fantastic achievement and we are very proud to be entered for a second year.
On the subject of CAMRA, we are one of the many pubs in the area to be signed up for the LocALE initiative which supports the idea that local is best for both the economy (supporting local brewers and jobs) and also the environment, not to mention the fact that there is some cracking ale brewed in Cumbria. For a list of ales coming in the next few months please view the events/beer coming soon page
Situated just 30 minutes from M6 (junction 36, A590) is the bustling historic market town of Ulverston with its wonderfull cobbled streets and yards. Ulverston is on the southern edge of The Lake District and is an ideal base to explore the south lakes area with Windermere, Kendal, Bowness, Coniston and Morecombe Bay all within easy reach of the town. Also known for its thriving artistic community the town is proud of the variety and quality of festivals and events which are held throughout the year. Perhaps, however Ulverston's main claim to fame can be that it is the birth place of one Arthur Stanley Jefferson on the 16th June 1890. Here he lived and grew up before moving to America where he became known much better as Stan Laurel (Laurel and Hardy fame). Also situated in the town is the world famous Laurel and Hardy museum, well worth a visit while you are here.
The pub was originally known as The Britannia and was housed in the front of the building with several small rooms. It was well known in the area for good beer and attracted customers from far and wide.The Stan Laurel Inn was opened in its present format in 1976 to a fanfare of publicity and stacks of local interest due to the pub bearing the name of Ulverston's best loved son and arguably the finest comedian of all time who lived only a few yards away in Argyle Street. During the last 30 years the pub has been extended into the cottages next door and also to the rear and now has three distinct rooms downstairs and also three rooms upstairs for bed and breakfast.
Nowadays The Stan Laurel has just been taken over by Trudi and Paul Dewar who bring with them a wealth of experience.
