This coaching inn and dining room is in Sedbergh, a pretty town 9 miles to the east of Kendal. The husband-and-wife team prepares food with influences from the Lake District, Germany, and Japan, and source many of their ingredients from within 20 miles of the restaurant.
Small but sleek, this restaurant with an open fire and artfully battered floorboards has won a good local reputation for high-quality dishes. The vegetarian selections are always worthwhile, and chefs Gaetano Zito and Antonio Giordano work hard to bring a Mediterranean flourish, including homemade pastas, to the Lakes. The Express Lunch is an especially good value.
