Spring Menus
at the Swinside Inn
Escape to The Swinside Inn this Spring. 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.
Spring lunch menu
Simple, seasonal enjoyment
Spring brings longer days, brighter skies, and menus that celebrate what’s fresh and in season. Whether you’re stopping by after a walk or settling in for a slow afternoon, our lunch menu is all about flavour without the fuss. Crispy soy-glazed chicken, delicate seared seabream with pickled fennel, or a short rib and brisket burger—each dish is designed for simple, seasonal enjoyment.
For something lighter, try our grilled chicken sandwich with crispy pancetta and avocado or the buffalo mozzarella with nut-free pesto on sourdough.
Spring dinner menu
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.
Start with the blow-torched mackerel with horseradish cream or the rich, deep flavours of Lingholm Estate venison tartare with confit egg yolk. Move on to mains like pan-roasted Cumbrian lamb with wild garlic and herb gnocchi or the delicate butter-poached hake fillet with mussels and samphire.
If you have room for more, try one of our delicious desserts and finish your meal on a sweet note.
