Pick up a menu and make your choice. A local specialty perhaps. Or maybe you want to travel further afield and try something with a more international flavour. In Cumbria and the Lake District, the choice of restaurants means you’re never stuck for high-quality fare, whatever your taste buds dictate. From cheap and cheerful to flights of gastronomic excellence; with multiple Michelin stars or none at all, it’s not that hard to find a fine restaurant and to enjoy the very best the Cumbrian larder has to offer.
