Lake District once again secures top spot to enjoy England’s best Michelin Star restaurants

The Lake District has retained its spot as one of the UK’s most prestigious destination to enjoy a bite to eat.

The scenic region has seen its position strengthen on the nationwide food map this year with The Forest Side at Grasmere, Hrishi at Gilpin Hotel & Lake House in Windermere all retaining their one Michelin star, as Simon Rogan’s L’Enclume in Cartmel continues to boast two Michelin stars.

L’Enclume has been honoured by the Michelin Guide every year since 2005, whilst the Gilpin Hotel & Lake House and The Forest Side are the newcomers, gaining their first star last year.

Michelin star restaurants attract visitors from all over the world with their offering of the best cuisine and overall dining experiences.

To celebrate the culinary offerings of the region, Cumbria Tourism have launched their annual Food and Drink Guide. The guide, which was introduced by Liam and Kath Berney of the 3 AA Rosette The Cottage in the Wood near Keswick, showcases a selection of the best restaurants, pubs and local producers in the county.

Gill Haigh, Managing Director of Cumbria Tourism, said: “To have such a concentration of food excellence in the area is a prestigious honour for Cumbria’s restaurant industry. It also means our visitors and residents have the luxury of choice for somewhere special to dine that is among the most select company in the country.

As well as quality restaurants, Cumbria is renowned for its original produce; Herdwick lamb, Cumberland sausage, sticky toffee pudding and Grasmere Gingerbread.

The Food and Drink Guide is a staple publication for the millions of visitors coming to Cumbria each year and we’re proud to produce the extensive guide with our members.“
