From traditional English fare to contemporary cuisine, when it comes to an abundance of taste bud tantalising choices, nowhere does it better than The Lake District. Not only is it home to delights such as sticky toffee pudding and the world-famous Kendal Mint Cake, but it offers a wide choice of family-friendly restaurants, informal cafes and fine dining experiences. No wonder it’s become a heaven for foodies.
If you’re looking for an energy boost on one of the many stunning walks to be enjoyed in the area, Kendal Mint Cake is a must. Still made in the attractive market town of Kendal, legend has it that the recipe was first devised because of a peppermint cream mixture that went wrong.
For the ultimate in comfort food, nothing beats a generous helping of sticky toffee pudding – another famous Lake District food invention. Dedicated carnivores will also love Herdwick lamb and Cumberland sausage, made with pork, spices and herbs.
Are you planning a special meal for a birthday, anniversary or reunion? Or maybe you’re searching for the perfect romantic restaurant with stunning views and a dramatic backdrop? If so, The Lake District is sure to tick your boxes.
