Frequently Asked Questions

How did the Pub get its unusual name?

Until 1950 the pub was known as The New Inn but changed its name to the Lantern Pike Inn in recognition of the hill directly behind the pub. The hill is called Lantern because it was the site for the local Beacon in bygone days. A pike is "a hill with a peak"
