THE SCHELLY

A delightful operation from the team behind The Old Stamp House, and situated directly above it, this deservedly busy restaurant is named after a local fish found in only four nearby lakes. It’s indicative of the distinctly Lakeland feel to the menu, which can be seen in produce from Herdwick hogget to Cumbrian venison. There's an unfussily flavoursome streak through the menu, in dishes like potted shrimps with curried cauliflower. Sit at the kitchen table to see the chefs, or by the window to people-watch the tourists passing by.
