About

Dining at Borrowdale Gates is a magical experience as you gaze out towards the soaring Lakeland fells.

Our menus celebrate the Lake District's glorious food heritage - contemporary, country house cooking with a lightness of touch that is wonderfully satisfying. Our head chef is constantly inspired by the wealth of produce on our doorstep, such as fell-bred Herdwick lamb, Waberthwaite cured ham and sausage (by Royal Appointment to The Queen), venison from the Holker Estate, Morecambe Bay scallops and shrimps, plenty of fresh, seasonal vegetables and tea and coffee from Farrer's, the Kendal merchants who roast the beans themselves.

Everything is carefully prepared by the talented kitchen team, from Cumberland breakfasts to an elegant dinner by candlelight with fine wines. Our reserve list presents a connoisseur's selection of old and new world wines that can be pre-ordered by the bottle from our vintners' cellars.

We welcome non-residents for dinner, from 18.30 to 20.30 (£44.00 per person) and Sunday lunch, from 12.00 to 13.30 (only £27.50 per person). Both meals include three courses with tea and coffee.

Whether for a special meal, a long weekend's fell-walking or a relaxing holiday, we look forward to seeing you very soon.
