Windermere Club campsite reopens on-site pub

e9445529-7ca0-458a-9079-c6a7b4ffaadc

The Whistling Pig pub on Windermere Camping and Caravanning Club Site has reopened thanks to a new operating partner

Located in the grounds of the campsite, the newly refurbished pub is now run by the Northern Monkey Brew Company, and offers award-winning craft beers made at the company’s Bolton brewery.

The dog-friendly pub will host quizzes and live music and, once the kitchen has been refurbished, will also offer stone-baked pizzas, loaded fries and Sunday roasts.

Ryan Bailey, who runs the Northern Monkey Brew Company alongside friend, Kevin Barber, says,

 

The Club could see we take a lot of pride in what we do, and we’re delighted to take over the running of the Whistling Pig. We want people to enjoy the atmosphere and support our passion for serving real ale just the way it should be.

I was aware of the pub, having stayed on site at Windermere myself previously. It is in a prime location and when I saw it was sitting empty I reached out to the Club to see how we might work together. This is a perfect partnership in that we can help the Camping and Caravanning Club to improve facilities for campers holidaying on site while we are able to further share our story and establish roots in the area.

Nicola Simpson, the Club’s Director of Marketing and Insight, adds,

 

Ryan and Kevin are committed to delivering exceptional customer service and we’re thrilled to be partnering with them at the Whistling Pig.

Windermere is pretty unique on our network for having its own pub on site. It’s always been a big draw for campers, and Ryan and Kevin bring lots of energy and enthusiasm to the running of the pub. I’m sure our campers will love the new décor and enjoy a nice tipple or two whenever they stay on site with us.
