Eating and Drinking

There is no better place in England to eat than The Lake District, drink and be merry than the Lake District – particularly on a rainy day. Try the Good Taste Café Cookery School at Keswick, where the deli offers plenty of delicious local produce plus a new studio dining room where diners can see the chefs preparing dinner. This is a ´bring your own booze´ restaurant as it does not have a licence, and you can also book into the cookery school if you want to learn how to cook the dishes on the menu. Another great place to try is the

Punchbowl at Crosthwaite, which clinched the Michelin Guide Pub of the Year, 2009. This impressive hostelry offers impressive wine lists, striking interiors plus a seasonal menu, and open fires. If you want to get out of the rain and enjoy some great food at a reasonable price, try Rogan and Company in Cartmel, which belongs to Michelin starred chef, Simon Rogan. This casual bar and restaurant is the perfect place to enjoy delicious local food.

Whatever you are looking for in the Lake District you are likely to find it. From superb accommodation in boutique hotels in Windermere and Bowness, to campsites and guesthouses in Grasmere, Michelin starred restaurants to gastropubs in Cartmel and Keswick, all surrounded by the most stunning countryside, you will be spoilt for choice in the Lake District.

The Lake District

Admin — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 09:44:34 +0000

The Lake District, also commonly known as The Lakes or Lakeland, is a mountainous region in North West England. A popular holiday destination, the Lake District is famous for its lakes and its mountains (or fells), and its associations with the early 19th century poetry and writings of William Wordsworth and the Lake Poets.

The Lake District may be famous for its beautiful countryside, lakes and scenery, but it is also well known for its rainfall. Worry not. If you are planning to visit the Lake District, you can feel safe in the knowledge that there are plenty of things to see and do, even if the weather takes a turn for the worse.

Despite The Lake District name, only one of the lakes in the Lake District actually contains the word “lake” in its name, Bassenthwaite Lake, the rest being either “meres”, “waters”, “tarns” or “reservoirs”.
