About

At the heart of our hotel, you will find the Riverside restaurant. Our restaurant team will make your dining an experience to remember.

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. Our new “a la carte” menu also have some great vegetarian options.

We also offer the mezzanine bar/lounge to serve morning coffee, afternoon teas and general drinks or wines from our specially selected wine list.

The restaurant is open for dinner every day. Our Lounge Bar is a favourite meeting place. This stylish, modern bar also offers a comprehensive snack menu.

Afternoon Tea

Perfect for relaxing, enjoying a refreshment or afternoon tea, our Riverside Lounge offers a comfortable ambience for you to sit back in luxurious leather seating and enjoy the riverside views.
