EAT & DRINK
Please note that due to government guidelines the restaurants have reduced dining capacities. We are opening up the restaurants cautiously at first, but are gradually opening more and more availability, and there are already some extra dates available in the HRiSHi pop up marquee from now until 16th May, and then HRiSHi and Gilpin Spice will reopen (with less tables than usual due to social distancing) from 17th May.
FAO of our resident guests: Our restaurants currently have limited capacity, and do get full, so we strongly recommend booking your dining times with us prior to your arrival. Due to current social distancing rules we can accommodate all of our resident guests across HRiSHi and Gilpin Spice, but to achieve this we need to book both restaurants evenly every night, so we are asking our guests to dine in each of the two restaurants for every two nights staying with us.
We will welcoming Gilpin vouchers once again from 21st June 2021.
With a fascinating history as a centre of the spice trade, Cumbrian cuisine has a rich heritage, and local specialities have long included exotic spices with favourites such as Cumberland sausage, potted shrimps, Grasmere gingerbread, and of course, sticky toffee pudding.
At Gilpin Hotel there are two restaurants celebrating this tradition –
In the Michelin starred, four AA rosette HRiSHi, Hrishikesh Desai combines great Lake District produce and classic methods to deliver unbelievable textures and flavours – modern British cuisine with a twist.
Our casual restaurant with two AA Rosettes… the laid-back Gilpin Spice has an open kitchen serving tapas-style pan-Asian dishes inspired by countries along the spice trail – spanning the Philippines, the Indian sub-continent, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and China.
