food and drink

The beautiful region of Cumbria is a foodies paradise and you will be spoilt for choice deciding what to eat or drink.

From Damson Gin to fine cured rare breed meats, local breweries to artisan bakeries, homemade iced-cream to quality cheese and cosy cafes to Michelin Starred restaurants such as the Sharrow Bay.
There are countless ways to encounter the outstanding produce of this region, whether it is via breakfast at your hotel, over lunch at a meeting, at a gala dinner & awards evening, or, at one of our many local shops.

In fact, Cumbria is so proud of its range of quality foods, that not only can you eat the food and taste the drink, you can even meet the producers, via a personal 'Cumbria on a Plate' food safari - for full details of this incentive with a difference, contact us at the conference desk and we'll arrange for a bespoke itinerary to be supplied.

For team building, why not arrange for a local chef to host an event, try your hand a Cumberland sausage making, or have a go at ‘taste testing' (could you identify the celery seed in a jar of marmalade?).

Our quality food lends itself perfectly to corporate hospitality with an array of options to thank clients, or attract new ones, including Carlisle Racecourse or perhaps the grandeur of Muncaster Castle.
Inspirational settings, combined with quality food & drink - surely, the perfect partners for a successful event.
