Cottage in the Wood
Seasonal Tasting Menus
A remote inn tucked into Whinlatter Forest above Keswick, Cottage in the Wood serves tasting menus that combine classical technique with subtle modern twists. The setting, surrounded by England’s only mountain forest, is as memorable as the food.
What to Expect
The dining room is cosy and intimate, with woodland views that make you feel a long way from anywhere. The kitchen uses local produce to create dishes that are technically accomplished but never overwrought. It’s the kind of place where the journey there is part of the experience.
The Food
The tasting menu changes regularly, guided by seasonal availability and the best produce from Cumbrian suppliers. Classical techniques underpin the cooking, with modern touches adding lightness and creativity. Expect carefully balanced dishes with clear, well-defined flavours throughout.
