Elegant surroundings, sumptuous dining There’s always more to any dining experience than what is on your plate and Broadoaks restaurant in Windermere is no exception. We ask that you arrive with eyes open and expectant taste-buds, and to be delighted with an imaginative menu created by Head Chef Taran Baxter. The dining room may be mistaken for being the most formal room at Broadoaks - after all, this is a fine dining experience – but the dining room is a versatile space which can be ‘dressed up’ or softened as any occasion dictates. The dining room also enjoys its fair share of views of Cumbria, with bay windows overlooking Troutbeck valley and the surrounding woodlands and fells. And on warmer days the dining room enjoys an ‘al fresco’ feel with the sound of the river and delicious Lake District air drifting through expansive open windows.
