Browse some of our favourite suggestions from the team here at Lakeland Cottage Company. We appear to be a pampered lot!

Home Cooking

Whether you’re looking to host a private dinner party whilst your away, to cater for a special event or just to avoid the washing up, why not order from one of these highly regarded local caterers.

We recommend ordering a delicious meal from Clare Boissier, a Prue Leith-trained chef with over 20 years’ experience and will work throughout the county and is an accomplished caterer who loves to cook for all types of gatherings.

Fine local produce

Based in the village of Hesket Newmarket, Debby Bainbridge of Choice Catering creates quality home-cooked food using fine local produce from The Lake District. Read her rave reviews and learn about her famous desserts, plus the welcoming atmosphere she brings with her.

Champagne and cake

For over 25 years Lucy’s of Ambleside has been feeding residents and visitors of The Lake District with her delicious food. Whether you want to dine alone or personalise the menu, Lucy has it all covered, she’ll even bake a cake, chill the champagne and decorate the table if you need!

Fine Dining

Heralded as the new gastronomic capital, the Lakes is home to a wealth of eateries offering astounding food in some equally impressive settings. Read our full guide here.
