From fell to table in just a few steps. Perfect – especially when this informal, family-run 'bistro with beds' offers the warmest of welcomes and reliably hearty, wholesome food. The place draws hikers fresh from the surrounding peaks and Grasmere tourists from down the road. They come here for Morecambe Bay shrimp sliders (with pickled red onion and a lush garlic/saffron/lemon mayo), sensational Herdwick lamb shepherd’s pie, and beef shin stew – cooked low and slow, and topped with beef-suet dumplings. To finish, try sticky toffee pudding or belly-warming mulled-wine rice pudding with blood orange glaze. Homemade cordials will please non-drinkers.–
