The Restaurant
The Restaurant
When it comes to fine dining with a view and fresh local produce, the culinary expertise and Lakeland setting here has earned an enviable reputation - including the 2 AA Rosette for culinary excellence. Head Chef, Chris Standhaven and his team look forward to cooking for you. Panoramic windows in the restaurant provide captivating fell views to complement the imaginative menu. They offer a pleasing combination of traditional British dishes, using the best of local Lakeland produce, and classic French cuisine, with a light, modern interpretation. The team of young passionate and talented chefs create new dishes on a regular basis, including local treats such as Fell bred Herdwick Lamb, Borrowdale Trout and fresh Game from the Holker Estate in Cartmel.
To complement their cuisine, a selection of traditional and new world wines have been chosen to delight different palates and restaurant staff can advise on particular wines that will suit the menu you choose.
