Forest Side
A Michelin-starred restaurant with a Green Star, set in a Victorian country house in Grasmere. Its menu draws on a one-acre walled garden and wild foraging.
Set in a Victorian country house hotel on the north Keswick road just outside Grasmere village, this restaurant holds one Michelin star in the 2026 guide and has also earned a Green Star. The walled kitchen garden grows more than a hundred types of vegetables and herbs without chemical treatments, and most meat, dairy, and fish comes from within 10 miles. Tasting menus of four, six, eight, or ten courses are offered, all with vegetarian versions. Lunch offers a four-course option. Dishes have included scallops with house-made chili and Worcestershire sauce, and cod with Morecambe Bay shrimp butter. Advance booking is recommended. Guests staying at the hotel can also book the dinner tasting menu. The restaurant is about a 10-minute walk from Grasmere village.
