This exceptional restaurant delights diners with a delectable array of starters and main dishes. Begin your culinary journey with aromatic duck pancakes, a classic favourite featuring succulent duck, julienne cucumber, spring onion, and hoisin sauce, all wrapped in delicate pancakes. Alternatively, indulge in the exquisite Morecambe Bay potted shrimps served on toasted muffins, a true seafood delight.
For the main course, enjoy the slow-roasted Cumbrian lamb, perfectly paired with a bed of pea and mint mash, alongside a generous serving of seasonal vegetables, all elegantly drizzled with minted gravy. Another tempting option is the sweet and sour chicken, featuring beer-battered chicken and seasonal vegetables, all drenched in a homemade sauce that perfectly balances sweet and tangy flavours, served with a side of fluffy rice. With such an enticing menu, this restaurant promises a memorable dining experience.
