About the village
There is a village shop, which serves also as a post office and teashop, and a Village Institute meets above the Post Office.
The single pub in Troutbeck is The Mortal Man Inn (on main road through village). It has the "Oh, Mortal Man" verse once painted on the wall:
"O mortal man that lives by bread,
What is it makes thy nose so red?
Thou silly fool, that look'st so pale,
'Tis drinking Sally Birkett's ale."
The Queen's Head Hotel sits beside the A592, Kirkstone Pass Road.
