Keswick Adventures Blog

The Lake District is full of all sorts of food and drink to tickle your tastebuds and quench your thirst. Succulent cuts of native Herdwick lamb, foraged delights from the natural landscape, craft beers created with the soft, clear waters… Our mouths are watering just thinking about it all!

As well as the native treats offered up by the countryside, passionate producers and makers are bringing amazing treats to the table. Michelin starred restaurants offer unusual and classy treats, while the many pubs provide hearty and comforting grub.

For a tipple, you can sample artisan whiskies, home-grown beers and small-batch gins. Or take a treat home when you shop at a local store for jams, chutneys, cakes, cereals, ice creams, and all sorts of local goodies.
