Our Head Chef, James Ashworth has been with us since 2024. Alongside his team, he is producing a local Cumbrian menu which offers something for everyone. Using locally sourced food, driven by seasonality, and his experience working in a range of establishments – he aims to provide something a little bit special.
All of our food is freshly made which enables us to cater for all special dietary requirements and food allergies along with alternative vegetarian options.
We work closely with our local suppliers to ensure we take advantage of the freshest produce on a daily basis.
Please note we regularly make seasonal changes to our menu and therefore some ingredients may change.
Food offerings are available throughout the day from Breakfast, lunch, late afternoon snacks and dinner. Groups and functions can be personally catered for by our Team, please ring for details.
Either of our beautifully restored and decorated restaurants are perfect for a private function for any occasion. We can seat up to 26 in our largest restaurant and a total of around 90 throughout. We offer a bespoke menu to suit individual requirements from an informal buffet to a formal set menu.
We look forward to welcoming you.
