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.

    Swift service - adequate menu well prepared- good atmosphere. The only 'blemish' was the price of a bottle of wine with the meal which was excessive.

    Couldn’t fault anything about our meal, the service and the quality. The unfiltered Birra Moretti was an added bonus as well as a pear tarte tatin on offer for dessert.

    Food was lovely although starts seemed expensive. My sticky toffee pudding was delicious and we all enjoyed our food. The service was good. We were sat in the window and my husband was cold. There was a cold draft coming from under the window seat.
