Evenings are getting chilly. Nothing beats a dram by the fire. 🔥🥃

This 10-year-old from The Scapa Distillery starts with surprisingly intense tropical fruit and banana, followed by spiced fruit bread and honey. Lovely.

💜 Summer afternoons in the courtyard...
We've been enjoying some unusually warm weather for the Lake District recently, but today's cooler temperatures and gentle breeze have made the courtyard even more inviting.
The lavender is now in full bloom, gently swaying in the breeze... who would like to enjoy a glass of w**e or a refreshing G&T here? 🙋‍♀️

Thank you for all interests and reservations for The Wayside Supper Club🍽️! After the successful launch, we will announce the future dates again when we see the next availability, so watch this space!👀

In the meantime, if you either live locally or will be in the area for holiday etc and are interested in reserving a table for a specific date, please feel free to contact us!😊

** Please note that having the meals cooked from scratch and to allow us to source fresh ingredients efficiently as well as to cater for any dietary requirements, our very small restaurant requires a notice in advance. **

🍽️ The Wayside Supper Club 🍽️

Following the wonderful response to the launch of our Supper Club, we're delighted to open up additional dates:

🕰️ 19:00 (fixed dining time)

📅 [A] Saturday 21st June and Sunday 22nd June
🪑 2 seats available on each date

📅 [B] Wednesday 24th June and Friday 26th June
🪑 4 seats available on each date (reservations for 2 guests are welcome too)

Our menu is intentionally small (2 or 3 courses, with no à la carte option), allowing us to focus on fresh ingredients and accommodate a wide range of dietary requirements and preferences. Please note that we do not offer a children's menu.

Interested? Please email 📧 [email protected] with:

✅ Full name
✅ Contact number
✅ Any dietary requirements or preferences (e.g. no hot spices)

⏰ Please contact us by 17:00 on Wednesday 17th June for dates in [A], and by 17:00 on Saturday 20th June for dates in [B].

As we prepare each menu around our guests' dietary requirements and preferences, the final menu will be confirmed once reservations have been received (hence the reservation cut-off). You will receive the actual menu a few days in advance so that you can pre-order your choices.

Enquiries are very welcome too.😊
We look forward to hearing from you!
