Lake District Eating Out Guide

 
Eating Out in the Lake District & Cumbria
 
You really are spoilt for choice when eating out in the Lake District and Cumbria. From fabulous Michelin Starred Restaurants to Caf
és and Tea Rooms that are the size of a front room in a small terrace house, there is something to suit every taste and budget.

Many of the Lake District Hotels have restaurants which are open to non-residents. In fact, most of the “high end” dining is attached to an establishment offering accommodation. There are plenty of independent restaurants to choose from, whatever your taste.
 
More and more Pubs & Inns now have a separate restaurant or dinning room and many of these offer high class food at very reasonable prices. The majority of other Pubs & Inns serve home cooked food using locally sourced ingredients. If it’s fast pub grub you want, there are plenty that serve "chips with everything"!
 
Most of the major Lake District towns have a choice of more than one Indian, Chinese and Italian restaurant, but there are also Mediterranean, Thai, Greek, Cantonese, Fusion establishments - and the list goes on!  

It’s a good idea to book a table in the height of the season, especially at weekends.

A growing number of caf
és and tea rooms are now also serving restaurant food – some shut late afternoon and re-open in the evening as a restaurant, these offer good value for money and can be popular with both locals and visitors, so again, book a table!
 
There are the usual choices of takeaways in most Lake District towns, lots of the Chinese and Indian restaurants have a takeaway menu and there are plenty of takeaways to choose from. If that’s not your cup of tea there is always fish & chips!
