you discover what makes our
region just as famous for its food
and drink as it is for stunning
views, relaxation and adventure.
The area has an incredible reputation for its variety of food and
drink producers, whether it’s Grasmere Gingerbread©, Hawkshead
Relish or the world-famous Cumberland sausage. Alongside our
locally made produce you will find restaurants, cafes, bars and
breweries all serving the best in Cumbrian fayre, from afternoon
tea with a view to a hearty meal in a country pub or a pint of craft
ale produced only a few feet from where you are standing.
With so much more to tantalise the taste buds in this wonderful
area, we’re sure you’ll agree that by the time you reach the final
page of this guide, not only will your mouth be watering but
you’ll also know that for great food and drink, Cumbria is most
definitely #theplacetobe.

FOOD & DRINK
UNWRAPPED
Cumbria has an incredible
reputation for our exceptional

need to eat in a Michelin-
starred restaurant to have a
memorable meal.
Our local produce enriches
virtually every menu – from
freshly made Morecambe Bay
potted shrimp overlooking
the sea in West Cumbria
to a plate of slowly roasted
Herdwick Hogget and roast
potatoes in a country pub at
the foot of a fell – the perfect
winter warmer.
Served at any time of the year

around these parts that a
butcher’s reputation is made
on the quality of their stock.
Let's not forget our sweet
treats. Sticky Toffee Pudding,
Kendal Mint Cake and
Grasmere Gingerbread®
will delight anyone with a
sweet tooth.
Alongside our world-class
food are outstanding
breweries, which make the
