Food & Drink
The Lake District in Cumbria is a fairly new county created in 1974 with the merger of the former counties of Cumberland, Westmorland, and parts of Lancashire and Yorkshire. This has caused the traditional Cumbrian cuisine to be a mixture of the culinary traditions of each former county. The wide variety of food in Cumbria has its origins dating back 100’s of years with a range of different influences. The mix of traditional Cumbrian cuisine and some modern ingredients, flavours and trends create the unique Cumbrian taste.
In this section you will find the top restaurants and pubs along the Westmorland Way , allowing you to enjoy fine Cumbrian food and drink. Each of the listings below will provide a brief summary and contact telephone number.
