If you’re looking for a Sunday roast in Windermere, you’ve found it.
The Lamplighter has been serving Sunday lunch in the heart of Windermere since before most food guides knew the Lakes existed. Locally sourced Cumbrian meat, carved tableside. Proper Yorkshire puddings. Roast potatoes that people come back for. Gravy that’s been earned, not made from a packet.
This isn’t a Sunday roast that happens to be in the Lake District. It’s a Sunday roast worth travelling to the Lake District for.
Our high-ceilinged Victorian dining room gives you the space and the atmosphere a proper Sunday lunch deserves. Long tables, unhurried service, and a kitchen that treats Sunday with the same seriousness as any evening on the à la carte.
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

Our Sunday roast menu changes with the seasons, always built around the best Cumbrian produce available that week. Expect locally sourced beef and lamb, slow-roasted and carved at your table, alongside seasonal vegetables, homemade Yorkshire puddings, and a proper roast potato with a crust worth arguing over.
Everything is made from scratch in our kitchen. Nothing is reheated, nothing is rushed, and nothing is plated the way a Sunday roast shouldn’t be.
