Kirkstile Inn

Led by Head chef Paul Williamson, the talented kitchen team aim to provide great quality food in a relaxed environment. Coming to Kirkstile is not just for a special occasion. We believe that a good night out with home cooked food should be affordable. Traditional dishes such as Lakeland Steak and Ale Pie and slow cooked Lamb Shank feature on our menus throughout the year. Fresh Fish and Cumbrian Chicken are often on our specials menu, which changes daily. To satisfy your sweet tooth, watch out for dishes such as Sticky Toffee Pudding or Baked Chocolate and Orange Pudding. 

In addition we always have two Roasts on a Sunday.

A healthy children's menu is always available.

Kirkstile's team of six chefs are serious about good food. We have a deserved reputation for unpretentious, home-cooked meals and place great emphasis on local Cumbrian and Lake District suppliers. With a seasonal changing menu we always offer a good selection of fish and vegetarian dishes. We also cater for vegans.

Our famous bar can be really busy and always has a great atmosphere! Inside are low beamed rooms with welcoming open fires, good food, willing and friendly service, the same warm hospitality that has always characterised a good English Inn.

We have a superb carefully selected wine list which includes 13 wines by the glass. We also stock an extensive range of gins, whiskies and other spirits. 

We always have a selection of real ales available from our own brewery, including the award-winning Loweswater Gold. Other beers such as Langdale, Esthwaite Bitter and Vanilla Oatmeal Stout are available on a rotational basis.
