Ritson's Restaurant & Lakers Bar, The Castle Inn Hotel

Ritson's Restaurant
In our Ritson’s Lake District Restaurant, we offer you a range of dishes containing locally sourced meats from the Fells; managed, sustainable fish stocks; international and seasonal ingredients; when these are brought together, they reflect modern eating with a very Cumbrian bias.

With our eclectic range of dishes and daily changing menus, we try to include something to suite all palates and would happily encourage you to try something a little different. At our Lake District restaurant, Head Chef draws strongly on ingredients sourced from the region - Local, Seasonal and Bespoke foods such as; Rump of Lakeland Lamb with Truffled Tattie-Pot; Aged Rump of Fell Side Beef and Haggis Wellington with Cumberland Mustard Cream Sauce; Line-caught Brooke Char and Trout; Early Summer Garden Vegetables; and of course, not to forget, Game when in season.

All our food is complemented wonderfully by our Fine Wines from around the World – from a cool, crisp Chablis to a warm, spicy Chateauneuf Du Pape and everything in between. We have wines to suit all tastes.

Every Sunday we offer a two or three course Lunch depending on your appetite! Try our Splash and Swim offer, free Swimming with every booked Sunday Lunch-call now for further details.

If you have any special dietary requests, please let us know in advance and we shall endeavour to provide a meal for you accordingly.

Lakers Bar
In our Lakers Bar you can be sure of a warm welcome whatever the weather! Where better to laze away an hour or two on a cold wet afternoon than in our Lakers Bar with the warmth of the fire, sampling our more traditional meals. Or for something a little different, why not try a dish from our daily changing specials board? And if the weather takes a turn for the better, we have a lovely garden at the back of the Hotel where you can be guaranteed a little break from the humdrum of daily life.
