Restaurants Lake District & Dinner, bed and breakfast Lake District - Our Dinner menu
Linthwaite is a truly romantic setting for a restaurant - with candlelit tables it is informal and unstuffy, yet discreet and professional. Dinner is available from 7.00 pm with last orders at 9.00 pm. There isn't a strict dress code but smart casual is a good guide. Before dinner enjoy an aperitif in the lounge or conservatory and enjoy the breathtaking views over Lake Windermere and the Lake District fells, before dining in one of the Lake District's most romantic award-winning restaurants.

With dessert we suggest you try:
Elysium Black Muscat 2007, Quady, Madeira County, California, USA
A red sweet wine? This is great with chocolate!
£24.25 half bottle, £8.25 per 125ml glass
Noble One 2005, De Bortoli, Australia
Exudes a dusty apricot scent, full of lively concentrated fruit flavour with a long, luscious
finish. Making it a very individual and unusual style of wine, in a nutshell a true star in its
class.
£39.50 half bottle, £13.50 per 125ml glass
Giovanni Allegrini Recioto della Valpolicella Classico 2005, Valpolicella, Veneto, Italy
This rare fabulous dessert wine is made from grapes that have been dried for up to 5
months prior to pressing, then allowed to mature for 24 months in French oak. This wine is
sweet yet has an incredibly rich and long balanced flavour, certainly a wine to meditate
over at the end of your meal, expensive but worth it!!
£67.25 500ml bottle, £17.25 per 125ml glass
Muscat Beaumes de Venise 2007, France
Luscious, full, fruity dessert white from the Rhone made from a black-skinned variety of
Muscat that brings added bouquet.
£26.75 375ml bottle, £9.25 per 125ml glass
Colosia, Pedro Ximenez
An amazing smell of treacle and an intense flavour of raisins and molasses – this is
absolutely fabulous, especially with chocolate or vanilla ice cream!
£33.50 375ml bottle, £11.50 per 125ml glass
Sample Cheese selection:
Cumberland Farmhouse
An unpasteurised traditional English cows' milk cheese also suitable for vegetarians. Matured in cloth, it develops a full, round flavour and a smooth buttery texture.
Keldthwaite Gold
This is a distinctive golden-rinded soft cheese, hand-made from the pasteurised milk of Jersey cows, for a smooth, creamy texture and taste.
St. James
Made at Holker Hall estate in Cumbria by Martin Gott, this superb unpasteurised ewe's milk cheese is rind washed in water from Holker's own spring, before being laid out to mature for three months on pine boards.
The cheese is then matured at Churchmouse Cheeses
for a further month.
Smoked Kirkham's Lancashire
Award-winning unpasteurised Lancashire by Ruth Kirkham from Goosnargh near Preston.
Lightly smoked over oak chippings for up to 3 days for a distinctly nutty flavour.
Blacksticks Blue
This pasteurised cheese is hand-made in very small batches and tended with care, particularly during its teperamental eight week maturation stage.
The result is an outstanding cheese combining a deliciously creamy, smooth yet tangy flavour, with a superb melt in the mouth texture.
All cheeses are accompanied by Linthwaite's home-made apple and sultana chutney, oatmeal biscuits, caraway crackers and pecan loaf.
Adjourn to the lounge, bar or conservatory where you can finish off the meal with a Cafetière of freshly brewed coffee, espresso or cappuccino all served with home made petit fours. Enjoy the moonlight reflecting on Lake Windermere or the sun setting over the Lake District fells - depending on the time of year!
