The Old Stamp House Restaurant

An absolutely incredible experience.
The food was wonderful and the staff were lovely.
The personal touches are a great hit – you’re greeted with a letter explaining each dish and then they’d seen a birthday gift on the table so they “happy birthday” around dessert was such a lovely surprise.

This is a definite must visit if you’re looking for a wonderful culinary experience in the Lake District.

How Ryan gets so much flavour into his dishes is a mystery to me. He must be a magician! We had the lunch menu earlier this week and it was fantastic! All of it was amazing from the very first course. Stand outs for me were the last three courses of fish, venison and finally dessert. Atmosphere was cozy, place was full and so had a little buzz about it but the way the tables are laid out and the lighting is done it allows you to also be close to your partner and focus on the food. Staff are all super friendly and meeting Ryan was ace! This is now on our to do list every time we visit the Lakes!

Outstanding in every way 👏The food blew us away this evening, everything was exquisite. And the head chef Ryan and his team are wonderful, very relaxed and welcoming. This was our 2nd visit and definitely won’t be the last. Our “special occasion” venue of choice. Thank you to all at the Old Stamp House

The most amazing experience, and that’s what a visit to The Old Stamp House is – an experience. There’s a story behind everything, and every person involved in the story is great – knowledgeable, genuine, passionate, and friendly. The food is just fantastic, with almost each mouthful tasting different and such amazing flavour, texture, and balance.

Excellent lunch. Tasty and well presented. The rabbit canneloni was good, the steamed halibut superb, the hogget full of flavour and the rhubarb dessert delicious. Price at £55 very good too for lunch.
