Dine at The Wordsworth

The Wordsworth is currently closed while we undergo an exciting refurbishment, and we can’t wait to welcome you back soon to experience our beautifully refreshed restaurant and bar.

Inside, characterful interiors, cosy corners and thoughtfully designed spaces create the perfect setting to relax after a day exploring the Lake District. Outside, our spacious beer garden terrace offers a wonderful place to dine or enjoy a drink while taking in beautiful views of the surrounding fells. Whether you’re joining us for breakfast, lunch, dinner or a well-earned treat after exploring Grasmere, you’ll find delicious food, warm hospitality and a welcoming atmosphere waiting for you.
