Proper old style market hall, fast disappearing from British towns

I went to Ulverston Market Hall the other day, and let me tell you, it’s a building that smells of ambition and a little bit of wet haddock. You walk in and instantly you’re greeted by that peculiar northern magic – like your nan’s front room but with more cheese counters.
First stall I saw was selling socks, but not normal socks – these were socks that looked like they’d seen the Crimean War. I asked the fella behind the counter if they were new, and he said, “New to you.” Fair enough.
Then there’s a bakery. Lovely bread, crusty like a pensioner’s elbow. I bought a pasty the size of a newborn ferret, and I ate it while wandering round looking for a man who could sharpen scissors. Didn’t find him, but I did find a lady selling chutney that smelt like a wizard’s pocket.
The hall itself is magnificent – proper Victorian bones, a bit draughty, like it might whisper riddles to you if you stayed after closing. I half expected a ghost in a top hat to ask me if I wanted two pounds of kippers and a kiss.
Ulverston Market Hall isn’t just a place to shop. It’s a place where you can buy three jars of jam, a VHS copy of Patriot Games, and a cabbage that looks like Sean Bean – all under one roof. That’s value.
I left with a bag full of mystery meat, a candle shaped like a dolphin, and a vague sense I’d been knighted by the town itself.
9 out of 10 – would return, but only if I can bring my own ferret.

This will be my fourth time staying at the white hart and every time it’s pleasure with great staff and service! Willing to cater to my dietary requirements and fussy children. We stayed in the family room which is very clean and pleasant to stay in. Stunning views and great location point when traveling around for different destinations. Can’t wait for our next visit. I Highly recommend the White Hart.

Went for a meal with family during a weekend away. Our table was in a quieter back room which lacked a little ambience but it was early teatime. However, the food was absolutely delicious and I would dine there again. Staff were lovely.

I really enjoyed staying at The White Hart. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. The room was cosy, with its lovely old oak beams. The complimentary tray and complimentary toiletries were a welcomed touch. The bed was comfortable and the bathroom was spacious. The breakfast menu was generous with a number of options, including a choice of cereals, and the coffee was very good. There was plenty of parking at the back of the Inn.

Came here for my oldest friend, Bernice, as she was turning 51. The service was amazing and we got seated right away (although we did book). It wasn’t too busy but there were other tables so the noise level was pretty low, which made it easier to converse. The menu was amazing- with a wide range and the specials board they brought over was even better! I opted for a korean style burger and was pleasantly impressed! The food was amazing! And my flat white too! Will definitely be coming here again! Nothing to complain about what-so ever! 5 well deserved stars over here!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
