Autumn Menus
at the Swinside Inn
Escape to The Swinside Inn this Autumn. Whether you’re staying in our welcoming rooms or just joining us for lunch or dinner, we’re making the most of seasonal flavours and bringing you dishes that celebrate fresh and local ingredients. Surrounded by stunning fells, it’s the perfect place to relax and tuck into good food.
Autumn lunches
Simple, seasonal enjoyment
Relax after a morning walk with hearty, seasonal dishes that capture the essence of autumn in the Lakes.
Enjoy light plates like our Salmon and Prawn Fishcake with dill emulsion and a fresh cucumber and fennel salad, or a warming Twice Baked Torpenhow Cheese Soufflé, rich and comforting.
For something more indulgent, the Roasted Pumpkin & Squash Risotto, finished with aged feta and crispy sage, offers autumn on a plate. Pair your meal with a glass of wine by the fire or a local ale for the perfect lunch time retreat.
Autumn dinners
relax and enjoy
Grab a table by the window, relax with a drink, and choose from our menu, which features the best of the season’s ingredients.
Main courses celebrate the richness of autumn produce and game – from Lingholm Estate Pheasant Breast wrapped in savoy cabbage with truffled celeriac, to Venison with Braised Shoulder and Elderberry Sauce. Fish lovers can savour the Pan-Roasted Stone Bass, served with king prawn agnolotti and shellfish sauce, while vegetarians will love our Ras El Hanout Cauliflower and spiced bulgar wheat salad.
Autumn Desserts
FINISH ON A SWEET NOTE
Round off your meal with one of our indulgent homemade desserts – each one a nod to the comfort of the season.
Sunday Roasts
LAID BACK LUNCHES
Settle in for a relaxed Sunday with one of our traditional roasts.
Choose from slow-roasted sirloin of beef or leg of lamb; both served with all the trimmings – duck fat roasties, seasonal veg, cauliflower cheese and a proper Yorkshire pudding. Try the roast cauliflower for a lighter option. Start with a comforting soup or house-smoked salmon, and leave room for dessert – the sticky toffee is so worth it.
