Launched in Spring this year, our all-you-can eat Sunday Carvery is an absolute must. Start things off with comforting favourites from the kitchen like Cumbrian leek & new potato soup or smoked haddock & dill fishcakes.
Then it’s time for the main event… Go back for more of our slow-roasted Cumbrian beef sirloin with crisp Yorkshire puddings, herb-roasted Lakeland chicken, and seasonal sides — because this one is all you can eat.
Finish on a high with classic puddings, including sticky toffee pudding with vanilla custard or a light, zesty lemon posset with homemade shortbread.

The Best Christmas Party Venues & Events in the Lake District 2026 The Graves family welcomed ‘The Borrowdale Hotel’ into their unique group of 6 Lake District Hotels in 2008. Since then, the hotel has been transformed by ongoing refurbishments, remaining sympathetic to its character and allowing tradition and personality to pervade – like the original 41 room bells that hang in the hall.
The comfortable lounges invite you to relax and enjoy a rest after a day on the fells or a boat trip from Keswick – perhaps with a spot of afternoon tea or a drink before dinner. The elegantly contemporary look, marrying oak panels with modern furnishings of the lounge bar create a welcoming space, to enjoy morning coffees, lunches, afternoon teas and early evening bar meals. Step into the bright conservatory which looks out to the historic Victorian veranda and pretty gardens while the fells beyond provide the perfect vista for relaxed informal eating. Later in the evening it’s somewhere you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink and after dinner coffee with petit fours and perhaps a brandy in front of the roaring fire.
The elegant dining room also features glass fronted doors which entice guests into the wine tasting cellar that boasts a comprehensive wine list.
