About

Right in the centre of the beautiful village of Hawkshead, the King’s Arms offers a warm welcome and delicious, locally inspired food. The menu shines a spotlight on Cumbrian produce, featuring ingredients sourced from nearby farms and suppliers to give visitors a true taste of the Lake District.

Expect hearty, comforting dishes alongside creative specials that change with the seasons. From light lunches and sharing platters to generous evening meals, there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Vegetarians, children and those with dietary requirements will also find plenty of options, and the friendly team are always happy to help with recommendations.

The traditional bar area provides a relaxed spot to dine or unwind beside the fire, with a great choice of local ales, carefully selected wines and craft spirits – many from distilleries right here in Cumbria.

A popular choice with both visitors and locals, the King’s Arms is the perfect place to refuel after a day exploring the fells or to enjoy a cosy evening meal in the heart of the village. Booking ahead is advised, especially during busy times.
