We had a nice chat with everyone in the front bar, which is also known as the main bar, as well as the private bar. Despite this being a small pub, we felt warmly welcomed. We decided to order the beef burgers, which were delicious and came with excellent chips. Don't forget to try the Rydal extra extra dry beer on tap, it's very refreshing. After just one sip, you'll likely want a second or even a third. Phil, I am looking forward to seeing the train set that I know you have hidden away on my next visit.

The Alexander Hotel or the Rydal Pub as its more affectionately known has stood the test of time. It's a country pub. Expect friendly...country service. Expect a tiny interesting bar. Expect basic country food. Expect to have a great time. Let down your guard and enjoy it for what it is. If you haven't really tried a country pub, take a Detour and get out to Rydal. This pub is great.
