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.

    Excellent beer. Delicious food. Attentive staff. Background music kept in the background where it should be. All in all very nourishing — keep up the good work.

    Food was outstanding! Couldn’t decide on starters so the waiter helped us choose, French onion soup was superb! As was the beef striploin! One of if not the best places we’ve eaten
