Shown here is Winter menu. Head Chef David Park, who has developed his skills at several highly regarded Cumbrian eating places over the last 15 years, offers you a selection of traditional, local an international dishes, many with imaginative twists. And all presented in style by our friendly serving team.  

We have a carefully selected range of local Cumbrian suppliers. Our bread comes from the famous Village Bakery across the green  in Melmerby and the Moody Bakers in Alston, our meat is from Askerton Castle Organic Estate near Brampton, fruit and vegetables are from James in Penrith. We source other items from Cranstons in Penrith, and  salad items are locally grown near Melmerby. And of course our own Hesket beers  feature in a number of dishes.
