Please note we cannot guarantee specific tables when booking on line or at busy times.The Cavendish Arms is a 450 year old Coaching inn set in the heart of Cartmel. With Simon Rogan and his famous Lenclume restaurant we have some very high standards to maintain. Our food is fresh and sourced locally to ensure the freshest ingredients are on your plate at all times. Our menu changes often and is always being developed by our very talented Head Chef and his team. Along with a great food offering, we are challenging boundaries with our selection of 25 gins, 10 whiskeys and many more superior sprits, we always try to have an alternative rather than using main stream brands behind the bar, ensuring our guests receive the best possible value for money we can provide whilst experiencing a better than expected product. In short our aim is to make sure you leave having had a memorable time and be wearing a huge smile.

It was a very busy night. We were booked in for 18:30. We were shown our seats, given menus. We orded and had to wait we'll over 30 min for food. We were OK with that but the food was very dry as it must of been under the heat lamps. We did expect freshly prepared food as the kitchen was very busy, so thought it would be better than it was. Perhaps they forgot about the 4 meals we orded. All the table service stopped at about 22:00, getting to the bar for a drink was hectic.🤔 See what tonight's food and service is like. 🤞🤞

Loved it. Very quiet for a Saturday but the food was perfect. Food choice limited but you can see the menu before booking. My wife had the trout and I had the lamb both were just what we wanted and perfectly cooked. Would highly recommend very peaceful compared to most other restaurants in Keswick.
