Please note we cannot guarantee specific tables when booking on line or at busy times.The Cavendish Arms is a 450 year old Coaching inn set in the heart of Cartmel. With Simon Rogan and his famous Lenclume restaurant we have some very high standards to maintain. Our food is fresh and sourced locally to ensure the freshest ingredients are on your plate at all times. Our menu changes often and is always being developed by our very talented Head Chef and his team. Along with a great food offering, we are challenging boundaries with our selection of 25 gins, 10 whiskeys and many more superior sprits, we always try to have an alternative rather than using main stream brands behind the bar, ensuring our guests receive the best possible value for money we can provide whilst experiencing a better than expected product. In short our aim is to make sure you leave having had a memorable time and be wearing a huge smile.

Great place to eat food was lovely served hot and in good time , staff were friendly and the view alone makes it worth a visit . I will definatly be back for another visit. Only thing I would.say against is ive visited twice now and the beef hasn't been great but think this is to do with how it's been sliced after cooking making it to thin and chewy but everything else was spot on and the pork was fantastic
