Owner Jackie is a through-and-through Cumbrian, tracing her local ancestry back over 300 years…
Jackie’s husband, Tim, has given a lifetime’s service in the hospitality industry, managing some of the finest hotels and restaurants in the Lake District.
David, the chef, is a well-known figure in Keswick and beyond, having cooked for HRH King Charles! David has cooked so often for the King that the pair of them are on a first-name basis.
