The Orangery’s striking architecture, with its glass façade and intricate Victorian details, sets the stage for a truly memorable dining experience. Inside, you’ll discover an eclectic fusion of Mediterranean inspiration and local heritage. Sunlight pours through tall windows, illuminating a stylish interior where modern design meets vintage character. From reclaimed wood furnishings and wrought-iron features to contemporary art and soft ambient lighting, every element has been carefully curated to create a warm and inviting atmosphere.
Mediterranean Flavour, Cumbrian Heart
Whether you’re indulging in a leisurely lunch, enjoying an intimate evening meal, or sharing a few drinks with friends, our restaurant offers a dining experience that combines comfort, style, and exceptional flavour. The menu is a celebration of Mediterranean-inspired cuisine, crafted using the finest locally sourced ingredients. From freshly prepared salads and chargrilled meats to flavourful vegetarian dishes and seafood favourites, each plate is thoughtfully designed to reflect both the richness of the Mediterranean and the quality of Cumbrian produce.
The adjoining bar enhances the experience with a carefully curated drinks selection, perfect for any occasion. Choose from a wide variety of fine wines,many sourced from renowned vineyards across the Mediterranean, as well as an ever changing lineup of local craft beers and expertly mixed signature cocktails. Whether you’re sipping a crisp Italian white on a sunny afternoon or unwinding with a rich, full-bodied red on a cozy evening, there’s something to suit every mood and taste.
At the heart of our kitchen is local chef Ben Gibson, whose passion for flavour and seasonal produce shines through in every dish. Ben’s menus change throughout the year to reflect the best ingredients available, ensuring a fresh and exciting dining experience each time you visit. His approach combines traditional techniques with a creative twist, resulting in beautifully presented meals that are as satisfying as they are memorable.
To complete your meal, treat yourself to one of our homemade puddings or cakes, freshly baked in-house each day. Whether it’s a classic dessert with a modern edge or a rich slice of cake paired with a coffee or dessert wine, our sweet offerings are the perfect way to round off your visit.
