The menus change frequently, in keeping with the seasons. From light Summer dishes to robust meat and game offerings throughout the Autumn and Winter months. The cuisine represents the best of modern British mixed along with classic cookery offering a fresh and modern approach and making the most of the wonderful produce that Cumbria and the North West has to offer.
