Seasonal Dining in a Stunning Lake District Setting

The Birkbeck Suite is home to two dining spaces: the Birkbeck Restaurant and the more intimate Lonsdale Room. As our principal dining area, the Birkbeck Restaurant can accommodate up to 300 guests and enjoys panoramic views across the Birkbeck River and surrounding fells, creating a memorable backdrop for every meal.

Our Head Chef has crafted menus inspired by the seasons and the hotel’s countryside setting. Guests can choose from a three-course Table d’Hôte menu or dine from the À la Carte selection, with vegetarian options available. Carvery lunches are served every Wednesday and Sunday, and a comprehensive wine list is available to complement your dining experience.

Relaxed Lounges, Bars & Fireside Comfort

The Riverside Lounge and Bar offers a stylish space to relax before or after dining, with art deco surroundings and sweeping views over the river and fells beyond. Serving food from late morning through to the evening, the bar menu includes everything from light bites to traditional meals, with entertainment taking place on most evenings throughout the year.

For a quieter retreat, the Salterwath and Fell Bar Lounges provide a more intimate atmosphere, complete with soft lighting, library-style surroundings and a welcoming log fire during the winter months. Whether you’re enjoying a drink, watching TV or settling in for a relaxed evening, these spaces offer comfort and warmth in every season.
