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

For table reservations of 8 or more people please call 01900 881044

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!

In typical British style, the kids go back to school and the sun comes out!
Why not take advantage of being child free and come in and see us.
We are open all day and serving food from 12-8pm today. Booking advisable as always but we do have plenty of seating in the beer garden to take advantage of the sun (while it lasts)!
We’ve got some exciting updates coming over the next couple of weeks about the opening hours, new menu, shop and the mini refurbishment ready for summer, so keep your eyes peeled!

Unfortunately not. We will be keeping our current pies from our butchers who make them fresh everyday. Logistically we are unable to make our own in house due to the fact we sell so many and the space we have in our kitchen. All other dishes are/will be made fresh as always so we found the best pies we could and they go down very well with our customers.

We hope you will offer breakfasts in the summer.

Great spot! Great food, friendly and close on the coast for a beach walk

How much is your fish & chips?

Can't wait to try the new menu, delicious food every time 😋

V nice to see a home made pie ! Re the fish pie

£9-50 at mario's in silloth.
