A big thank you to everyone for supporting us, making our venture so successful, and keeping our village pub alive

Visit the Pub Website HERE

The Lowther Arms is a traditional country pub in the heart of Mawbray village, close to the sea on the Solway Plain in north-west Cumbria. Set in peaceful countryside and Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty within Hadrian’s Wall World Heritage Site Buffer Zone, we are surrounded by stunning views of the Lakes and Scotland.

Although tenanted, The Lowther Arms is a cooperative and community-owned pub, saved from permanent closure and conversion to a house by the local community and over 300 shareholders.

After being closed for two and a half years, the pub re-opened in June 2021, and is now more than a pub – offering a comfortable place to have a drink, enjoy a meal, meet with friends, or simply a quiet corner to read in. Whether you are a local, a visitor, walker, or cyclist, come and relax in our lovely pub with its beer garden and stunning views of the Lake District.

Our 4-pitch caravan site is open and booking is highly advisable.  We have 3 pitches for tourers and motorhomes, a Pod, plus camping.

Well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar, conservatory and beer garden.

We look forward to seeing you!

So, we have some news that we would like to share..

We wanted to let our customers and friends know, that we have decided to move on to our next chapter..

We and our incredible team both past and present have worked extremely hard to make this wonderful pub what it is today, with all the fun and laughter we’ve had along the way, the incredible reviews, achievements and reputation we are so so proud to have achieved- but it’s time for us to persue other projects and allow someone else to take the pub to the next level.

Whilst no leaving date has yet been decided, we want to encourage any customers with gift vouchers to come in and use them as soon as possible.

Future events will still go ahead unless we advise otherwise and we will continue to run the pub as we always have done until a suitable new tenant is found. In other words, quiz nights are still on! The fabulous food will remain and drinks will still be flowing 🥂

We have loved getting to know each and every one of our customers and being part of such a warm and welcoming community and we’d love to see as many of you as possible over the next couple of months.

If anyone has any specific questions then please message the page or give us a call. While some can be answered, many can’t at this stage but like we say, we will continue to serve you in our usual way.

Thank you for your continued support as always 🙏🏻
Carl,Ben, Pam & Madison. ❤️

What a miss you’ll be…… our favourite little cosy pub run by our beautiful friends. You’ve done an amazing job. Must get booked in for a final stay at the pod! xxxxxx

I’m glad for you both but it’s sad for the pub and the village. In an era of so many pub closures I just hope the collective owners manage to get people that can put as much energy into things as you have. It’s a tough ask! I don’t really want to make the Letters Inn my local 😢😢😢

Wow, that didn’t take long, we’ve only been here 4 weeks 😳…….Seriously Michele Pullen and I wish you all the best and thank you for you help in getting us here to this lovely village and community. Cheers 🥂

So sad to hear you're leaving! Gutted! We're going to miss your happy, smiley faces when we visit, your hosting and attention to detail, the food.... you've transformed the pub! Wishing you all the success for your future adventures, may all your dreams come true, much love Sue & Jon Gale

Choose from our extensive range of dry white wines, dry gin and a lovely fresh pit of dry cider on tap!
Who says January has to be boring… there’s dry in the title so who needs to know! 🧐😉

What a way to start the day!
We’ve just had our inspection from environmental health and we’ve kept our 5* food hygiene score!
We couldn’t be happier and this is why we work so hard to ensure our kitchen is clean, safe and hygienic 100% of the time.

Another lovely night that was relaxing and friendly. Great to see “locals” enjoying the pub.

Customer Information-
If coming to the pub today, please be careful on the road in the village and the junction outside the pub. There is a lot of sheet ice making it difficult to drive in.
We have salted as much as we can but it is still quite slippery out there.
Reminder that there is strictly no parking directly to the front of the pub also.
Take care out there today and see you all later.
