One of the Finest Places to Eat in Windermere, for Over 35 Years
There are plenty of places to eat in Windermere. Few of them have been doing it for 35 years, earned the praise of critics and are still packed out on a Sunday.
The Lamplighter has built its reputation the old-fashioned way – good food, honestly prepared from locally sourced Cumbrian produce, served by people who genuinely care. Whether you’re settling in for a full evening à la carte, dropping in for lunch on the terrace, or gathering the family for our legendary Sunday roast, you’ll find a dining room with real warmth and real character.
The high-ceilinged Victorian restaurant, the art deco lounge bar and the south-facing terraces give you three distinct spaces to choose from – each with its own atmosphere, all with the same commitment to quality.
Renowned restaurant critic Jay Rayner put it simply:
Not trying to be fancy or clever, but serving good quality fayre with all the trimmings.Jay Rayner — The Guardian
