From Ambleside to Rutland

Saturday, July 05th , 2025

I had a very good meal at The Old Stamp House in Ambleside. They could do with a specialist pastry chef, but the savoury dishes were very good indeed, and the staff were very welcoming. 

Rogan & Co is the more casual sister restaurant of L’Enclume, and serves a simpler style of the same cooking. There is the same precision on the plate, and the serving staff were very enthusiastic and welcoming.

Hambleton Hall looks out over Rutland Water (view from its terrace is pictured) and has an attractive garden. It is a luxury hotel whose restaurant serves very well-executed, fairly classical dishes. As a bonus, the wine list is reasonable.
