Set in a former Victorian cattle parlour, the Bistro’s surroundings and inspirations are reassuringly solid, natural and rooted in the Lake District. And this is reflected in our food; honest, generous and full of flavour. Our team is passionate about what they do and our superb surroundings. Discover more about who we are and let us welcome you to The Bistro at the Distillery.

The Bistro specialises in 'best of British' cuisine, with local produce taking centre stage. Join us for a simple coffee and a slice of home-made cake, or go all out with brunch, lunch, a full afternoon tea or leisurely three-course supper. We operate a daily set menu which changes regularly and a sumptuous a la carte selection. Enjoy sweet treats galore with our Afternoon Tea, offered daily (Mon-Sat) between 3-5pm or a classic Sunday Roast to end the week.

    Our voucher was a meal for 2 from the fixed menu (2 courses). It was certainly well worth a visit. The food was of a very high quality & in extremely pleasant surroundings.

    I have visited the Bistro several times before, This time I had the company of some dear friends who came to the Bistro for the first time. They loved it as much as I have always done. Everything was excellent. Thank you.
