![]() | Carriage Café at Bassenthwaite Lake Station |
You are here: Home > Explore Cumbria > Areas of Cumbria > Western Lake District & Coast > Food & Drink
From down-to-earth dining to venues with a touch of luxury, the Western Lake District and coast boasts a plentiful selection of eateries to suit all tastes. Whether fish and chips on the beach, an ice cream on the prom, or a cosy cafe in the Lakes, you'll never go hungry.
Refuel with hearty dishes in friendly local pubs and inns - many even allow your four-legged friends to join in the fun, so if you’re looking for a dog-friendly place to eat in Cumbria, you’ve come to the right place. Wash it down with a local ale or gin, brewed at an independent microbrewery or distillery. There are some fantastic restaurants to choose from, making the most of ingredients sourced from within the area.
Recharge after a hike along the coast or up a mountain with a visit to one of the area's many welcoming cafes and tearooms. Whether it’s a cosy haven tucked away in the corner of a tiny village, or right in the heart of a bustling town centre, it’s the perfect chance to enjoy a brew and a slice of home-made cake.
Follow Cumbria’s spice trail from the bustling harbour at Whitehaven where spices were traditionally imported into the region and used as ingredients in our famous local delicacies such as Cumberland sausage, Rum Nicky and Grasmere Gingerbread®.
Add one of the area's food and drink events to your calendar: from agricultural shows and farmers' markets to the popular Taste Cumbria food festivals, there's plenty of choice.
