Eating out in the Lake District
Cafés at the attractions and The Ratty Arms
Find happiness in simple things such as good food with good company
For many of us, food plays an important role in our holiday. Whether you’re looking for an age-old pub serving up a plate of hearty grub, the chance to experience locally sourced ingredients, a cosy coffee shop with temptingly good cakes and coffee to match, or perhaps a traditional afternoon tea in a picture-perfect setting, you’ll find it all here.
