Restaurants come and go but our focus on quality and customer service has set us aside from many other Lake District Restaurants for the past 21 years. Whether popping in for a snack at lunch, indulging in our unique Sunday lunch experience or a full four course meal in the evening, The Lamplighter offers a great selection of locally sourced and themed food and drinks.

The Lamplighter offers a wonderful atmosphere and a range of drinks to suit all tastes. We're situated perfectly in the heart of Windermere and we're actually the closest closest bar in Windermere to the main train station, so you dont have to worry about staying for another. We offer a great range of products from premium lagers and locally brewed ales through to an extensive wine list.

The Lamplighter Dining Rooms offers the very best in accommodation in the Lake District. With all of the guests bedrooms recently refurbished, we have been sympathetic to the Victorian heritage of this traditional Lakeland stone building dating back to 1865. We are just a 2 minute walk from Windermere train station and with private parking on site and free wi-fi access throughout the ground floor, we offer the perfect location from which to explore the beautiful Lake District.

The Lamplighter is run by the Tasker family including Sue and brothers James & Alistair. Sue started off The Lamplighter some 28 years ago and over that time has built a wonderful reputation for customer service and the quality of our product. In the last two years both James and Alistair have now taken over the reigns. We believe in providing a premium level of service with attention to all the details that matter combined with traditional values.
