Restaurant

Nowhere is the philosophy that  'if it is worth doing it is worth doing properly'  more apparent than in the Manor's restaurant. At Rothay Manor, dining is treated as an experience to be savoured to the full. The menu is varied and meals are prepared and served to the highest of standards with flair and imagination. The Hotel is widely acclaimed in all the major guides for its culinary expertise, and has a personally compiled wine list with comprehensive coverage of all the wine regions of the world. The Dining Room itself is spacious with tables laid in a classical style.

The relaxing atmosphere and view of the gardens make it the perfect setting for any meal - whether it be lunch, dinner or a private party. Service is efficient yet unobtrusive, which makes each and every visitor feel truly at ease. This element of personal concern perhaps explains that elusive quality, remarked upon by so many guests, which sets Rothay Manor in the class of a true Country House Hotel.

Rothay Manor is renowned for the excellent Afternoon Tea, with an Award of Excellence from the Tea Council and more recently being mentioned as one of the '50 Best Places for Afternoon Tea in the World' by the Guardian newspaper.

Choose from a selection of savouries, cream cakes, tea breads, scones with jam and cream and more! The buffet-style tea can be enjoyed while relaxing in the comfort of either of the manor's lounges. Booking is advisable to avoid disappointment.

Afternoon Tea makes an ideal treat for someone special - ask about our Gift Letter Service.

Rothay Manor has 3 Stars & 1 Rosette from the AA and has been listed in the Good Food Guide for 38 years, as well as in all the major guides.

Following the recent launch of the 'Scores on the Doors' web-based campaign allowing the general public to access information about hygiene inspections carried out by Environmental Health Officers, the hotel is delighted to be one of only seven businesses in South Lakeland awarded a 5 star (excellent) rating.
