British, Modern Restaurants in Kirkby Stephen

1. The Black Bull Inn British, Modern restaurant in Sedbergh 44 Main Street - LA10

This “wonderful and cosy restaurant” in a “very smart old inn” (“on the narrow main street in Sedbergh”) serves “really interesting food (Cumbrian produce, Japanese hints here and there)” from chef Nina Matsunaga, who grew up in a Japanese expat family in Germany and settled here with her Dalesman husband and business partner James Ratcliffe six years ago. “The menu is interesting: sort of like a pub, with a few ‘eh what?’ items thrown in, some over-promising, some very good”. “Well worth a detour off the M6” – it’s also “worth staying over and doing a bit of walking in the beautiful Eden Valley”.

2. The Black Swan British, Modern restaurant in Ravenstonedale Fell Road - CA17

2023 Review: This “small, family-run hotel” in the idyllic Eden Valley has a “lovely restaurant” serving “good-quality locally sourced food” which includes “some very unusual dishes with lovely flavours”. The “front-of-house staff are great”, and you can make your stay more adventurous by glamping in a yurt in their private forest.
