Lake Road Kitchen

Inspector comments
"Nordic-style cooking in the Lake District."
Overview
In the heart of Ambleside, Lake Road Kitchen has an all-embracing passion for Lakeland and Scottish produce, as well as clear Nordic sensibilities and a fervour for pickling, foraging and fermenting. A no-frills dining room with pine plank walls and bare tables, there’s also an open kitchen meaning diners soon become part of the theatre. Daily changing menus come in five-, eight- and 12-course versions, and the cooking brings remarkable combinations of taste and texture. A meal might open with a black pudding croquette, green apple and Szechuan pepper, before moving on to steamed Norwegian halibut and black winter truffle.

About the area
Cumbria's rugged yet beautiful landscape is best known for the Lake District National Park that sits within its boundaries. It’s famous for Lake Windermere, England’s largest lake, and Derwent Water, ‘Queen of the English Lakes', but other lesser-known areas in the south, such as the Lune Valley and the coastal towns, are secret gems of wide cobbled streets and rolling hills
