Attention to detail

Our passion is cooking and food, in particular locally sourced produce, which Cumbria has in abundance. Whether it's fresh caught salmon, local game, lamb from the fells, hand made cheeses or vegetables from local growers (sometimes our own garden) we are skilled at combining food and flavours to produce tasty breakfasts (you must try our award winning marmalade) and gourmet evening meals.

Relax by the roaring fire in the drawing room with drinks and nibbles before an evening of food to tempt your taste buds.

Our three course dinner menu or lighter supper menu together with our changing breakfast menus are designed to incorporate seasonal produce. See example.
