Gastro pubs in the Lake District bring together the best of both worlds. You get the relaxed atmosphere of a traditional country pub, combined with high quality food made from fresh, local ingredients.
Across villages and market towns such as Ambleside, Keswick, Coniston and Grasmere, you will find welcoming pubs serving seasonal menus that showcase Cumbrian produce. Think slow cooked meats, hearty pies, locally sourced vegetables and classic puddings, alongside a well kept pint or a carefully chosen wine list. Many offer cosy interiors with log fires in winter and outdoor seating with fell views in the warmer months.
