Of all the ways to remember a stay in the Lake District, there is something especially lovely about taking a little piece of it home with you – or finding it waiting for you when you arrive.
Fell & Tarn Hampers, created by local business owner Katie Pepper, offer exactly that: beautifully curated hampers that celebrate the flavours, makers and landscapes of Cumbria.
There is a gentleness to Fell & Tarn Hampers that feels entirely fitting for this part of the world. Thoughtful collections of locally-sourced treats and essentials, carefully chosen to reflect the place they come from. These are hampers designed to be savoured slowly – perhaps on a rainy afternoon, beside a window looking out across the fells, or shared with friends after a long day exploring.
Every hamper begins with a simple idea: to champion local producers and tell a story through food. Katie works closely with a range of Cumbrian makers, selecting items that are not only delicious, but made with care and integrity. From artisan chocolates and baked treats to savoury snacks and carefully-chosen drinks, each hamper feels personal, considered and indulgent.
What makes Fell & Tarn Hampers particularly special is their sense of place. The name itself evokes the landscapes that surround us: the rolling fells, the stillness of the tarns, and that connection runs through every detail. Packaging is elegant without being excessive, allowing the contents to shine, and the overall effect is one of understated luxury.
Whether you are celebrating a special occasion, marking a milestone, or simply wanting to spoil someone (yourself included), there is a hamper to suit everyone. Options range from smaller, thoughtful gifts to generous selections ideal for sharing. They make wonderful birthday presents, anniversary treats, thank‑you gestures, or additions to a romantic Lake District break.
We’re especially pleased to share that Fell & Tarn Hampers can be added as an optional extra when staying with us. Imagine arriving at your accommodation to find a beautifully prepared hamper waiting for you. It’s a lovely way to begin a stay, and a perfect excuse to settle in, put the kettle on, have a sweet treat, and enjoy your surroundings.
For visitors, Fell & Tarn Hampers offer an introduction to local flavours without having to seek them out individually. For locals, they provide an elegant way to support independent producers and share the best of Cumbria with friends and family further afield. And for everyone, they’re a reminder that some of the most meaningful pleasures are the simplest ones.
Katie’s passion for her work is evident throughout Fell & Tarn Hampers. This is not about mass production or trends, but about quality, connection and care. That philosophy resonates deeply with us, and mirrors what we value too – supporting local businesses, celebrating craftsmanship, and helping our guests experience the Lake District in a more personal way.
Fell & Tarn Hampers are available to order directly, or as an add‑on to your stay with us. Whether enjoyed here among the hills, or taken home as a reminder of quieter moments, they capture something essential about this place.
Sometimes, the best souvenirs aren’t things you put on a shelf. They’re flavours, shared moments, and the feeling of being well looked-after – which is exactly what Fell & Tarn Hampers deliver.
