Lake Road Kitchen - Carta

I am already missing some of the most amazing and memorable dishes I have tasted in my life. Thank you to all the team .

If all you ate was the sourdough bread you would leave feeling happy .. the food was beyond impressive.. the service was personal, attentive but never intrusive.. the choreography of the experience was elegant . .. without doubt one of the best restaurants I've ever had the pleasure to visit .. book well in advance to avoid missing out .. awesome evening

My wife and I had an exquisite dinner at Lake Road Kitchen a couple weeks ago. Every course was beautiful, unique, and delicious. The ambiance and service is second to none. What a gem in the Lake District. We live in Wisconsin and visit the Lakes every five years. However, this was our first visit to Lake Road Kitchen. Suffice to say, we'll see you again in 2029.

Oh my god, the best dining experience I’ve ever had. From the moment we sat down, the staff made us feel like our arrival was the height of their evening. The food was unbelievable, to the point that two days later we haven’t stopped talking about it. But somehow, the service was even better. I would go back in a heartbeat and can honestly say it was worth every penny. I’ve never enjoyed a meal more.

We were very lucky to get a table. Without a doubt one of the best restaurants we have ever visited. Worth a seven hour drive! Very memorable flavours, carefully considered textures, processes and flavour combinations. Everything is balanced, yet inventive, and every course was very different to the other but sat well within the menu. We chose a 5 course tasting menu with one additional course. The portions were just right. And let's not talk about the butter and sourdough! We now have to work out when we can go back. Everything unbelievably good and flavours we will remember.

Warmly welcomed by the chef/proprietor this was a fantastic experience from start to finish. We chose the 12 servings menu with a wine pairing, and also chose the optional alpine cheese course, which was a highlight of an exceptional evening of food. The depth of flavour in every dish was amazing and comparable with many two and three star restaurants we’ve enjoyed. The passion of the team is evident in every detail. Standout dishes included the fried chicken, monkfish, snails, alpine cheese, salmon, and all three sweet courses. The wines matched perfectly and included some less well known grapes and regions. A fantastic evening. Ver carta

What a privilege to experience LRK’s 12 course tasting menu. Hats off to the talented chefs. It’s hard to find a stand out course since each plate seemed to trump the previous one. It was a celebration of world cuisine from the South Asian inspired fried chicken to the Scandinavian, Noma influenced techniques. I make sourdough bread but this, with the 10 month dry aged butter, was absolutely exquisite. Each dish was delicious and well balanced, appealing to all 7 of our group, aged 19 to 89. The service was exceptional and unpretentious. Each chef’s modest enthusiastic knowledge of their craft was a credit to James. What a team. It was a truly memorable experience. Thank you to all.

I was surprised with the 8 course tasting menu for my 25th birthday no better way to celebrate 1/4 of a century! James, chef patron, was a legend. You can tell he cares so much about his food and in particular, how you enjoy his food. And somehow the food tasted even better than it looked. The bread the BEST bread I've ever had. The butter that came with it was dry aged and it tasted meaty with the bread I don't know how. My favourite dish, although it's incredibly hard to choose, (other than dessert because that's a different category) was the salmon. It was the best salmon I've ever had and I savoured every bite. And the PISTACHIO GELATO. I crave for pistachio gelato every time I visit a h...

It is a scandal that this restaurant is deemed worthy of a Michelin star… …this is (should be) a two star restaurant. Comfortably. One of the most impressive things is how they have managed to incorporate an ambience of cool vibes, warmth and extraordinary professionalism all at the same time. It’s not very often that a restaurant manages to achieve this. Whilst I don’t imagine that’s a lucky coincidence, it does have the feel of effortlessness to the diner. All of this is noticeable, almost as soon as you walk in. There is a striking absence of pretentiousness, despite having significantly more justification to display some than many other restaurants of lesser quality. We were welcomed by... Ver carta
