The Ward family have a very warm welcome for all who visit
Troutbeck Inn. This is their first venture into this type of business, but with their chef
Matt Preece they have made it one of the best places
to seek out, whether it's for a drink, a meal or
the chance to enjoy a relaxing break in delightful surroundings.
Built as an inn in the late-18th century, it later became
a hotel for railway travellers and a watering hole for farmers
from the auction room next door. It's now a warm, comfortable
base for walkers, cyclists and tourists as well as a much-loved
local. Black Sheep, Cumberland Ale and Copper Dragon are on tap
to quench thirsts in the bar, or guests can enjoy a glass of
wine or a nice drop of malt whisky by the fire while making new
friends or planning the day's activities. Matt is passionate about his
food, relying on prime produce from local growers and farmers for his raw materials. His
menus combine tried-and-trusted favourites such as battered haddock or steak & mushroom
pie with seafood beignets (prawns, squid, cockles and mussels), roasted ham shanks,
game casserole and wild mushroom risotto. Room should definitely be kept for a super dessert - maybe lumpy bumpy toffee pie. Lunchtime also proposes lighter options such
as fishcakes, omelettes and chilli beef taco shells, and the inn has a top-notch
children's menu.
Guests staying at the inn have a choice of accommodation. Six lofty, spacious,
tastefully furnished rooms for B&B are in the
main building, all with en suite facilities, TV
and hot drinks tray. Three beautifully appointed
Holiday Cottages are located in converted stables in the courtyard behind the
inn. Blencathra and Saddleback each have two bedrooms, while Little Mell fell is a
romantic nest for two. All have a fully equipped kitchen, dining area and comfortable
living area with TV and DVD player.
