The Cavendish Arms is a 450 year old Coaching inn set in the heart of Cartmel. With Simon Rogan and his famous Lenclume restaurant we have some very high standards to maintain. Our food is fresh and sourced locally to ensure the freshest ingredients are on your plate at all times. Our menu changes often and is always being developed by our very talented Head Chef and his team. Along with a great food offering, we are challenging boundaries with our selection of 25 gins, 10 whiskeys and many more superior sprits, we always try to have an alternative rather than using main stream brands behind the bar, ensuring our guests receive the best possible value for money we can provide whilst experiencing a better than expected product. In short our aim is to make sure you leave having had a memorable time and be wearing a huge smile.

    A lovely evening of food and drink at the Cavendish Arms. The food is always good, when I’m not driving the cocktails are well worth it Service is excellent, friendly and welcoming. Being relatively local and my kids having gone to school in Cartmel this is definitely our favourite place to eat and drink.

    Love it here. I come with my partner and Labrador all the time. If my partner is travelling I am really comfortable coming on my own. The food is always really good. The front of house staff are brilliant, they are attentive and really friendly, they always make an effort and also with the dog, they always remember little things such as liking ice in my drink. The waddling duck wine is amazing. Richard, you should be so proud of your team. I love it here and I can’t wait to come back again tomorrow for Sunday lunch. My No1 place in Cartmel.
