Threlkeld, British, Modern Restaurant Guide

“Tasty and varied ‘fellpots’” – as dishes from around the world are called on the menu here – are the “reward” for a day running or hiking across the nearby fells at this flagship bistro for John Butterworth’s fast-growing Keswick operations. Last year he acquired Lyzzick Hall hotel and restaurant, three miles out of town, to add to his cocktail and burger bar The Round and boutique hotel Fellpack House (fka The Hazeldene).

2024 Review: On the lower slopes of Skiddaw, England’s third highest mountain, a luxury mid-Victorian Lakes hotel that “never fails to impress”. The restaurant has been relocated over the years to amplify the “wonderful views”, and it continues to please with its “good variety of dishes” (from Sunday lunch to salads and Cumbrian rarebit) that are also “exceptional value for money”.
