The Lake District is renowned for its stunning scenery, but it also boasts a thriving culinary scene. Within a 30-minute drive of Hawkshead, there are 8 Michelin star restaurants, boasting 10 stars between them.
In the last 12 months I’ve been lucky enough to try L’Enclume and Lake Road Kitchen, and they were both amazing. L’Enclume blew my mind with its 16-course tasting menu. Each dish was like a tiny work of art, with crazy flavours and ideas you wouldn’t even imagine. Lake Road Kitchen was just as enjoyable with a more natural style and Scandinavian influence the dishes were incredible.


Whether you’re a total foodie or just looking for an extra special meal, the Lakes have it all. You’re guaranteed an unforgettable experience at any of these Michelin-starred gems.
