DINING AT OUR RESTAURANT
Picture dining where windows run through the length of the restaurant and their captivating fell views ideally complement our food, which continues to win fulsome praise from guests and critics alike, including the 2 AA Rosette for culinary excellence.
Our unique combination of traditional British dishes and classic French cuisine, passionately created by our head chef, Christopher Standhaven, and his brigade using the best of local Lakeland produce, creates archetypal country house cooking, with a light, modern interpretation. Our wine list offers a choice of old and new word labels to suit every palate. Indulge in the epitome of fine dining in Keswick, Lake District at the Borrowdale Gates Hotel.
For dinner service, we kindly observe a smart-casual dress code.
