Food & Drink

The food and drink you will experience here at the North Lakes Hotel and Spa is produced with the same focus on quality and choice that you’ll see in every area of our business. Regardless of whether you’re seeking the convenience and flexibility of teas and coffees in our all-day Conference Cafe, a themed dinner with a difference or just honest, well-prepared locally sourced dishes for a delicious lunch, you'll find we're happy to work with you to ensure what's on offer on the menu meets your needs.

 

Conference Cafe (available with the Blencathra and Beacon rooms)

Whatever time of day you step out of your meeting room to stretch your legs you’ll find something different on offer. All day, every day – help yourself to:

  • Classic Italian fresh ground coffee and traditional and flavoured teas
  • Chilled filtered water and juices
  • Our selection of fruit and nuts – for an instant energy boost
  • Mid-morning munchies
  • Try a Citrus Kick smoothie to revitalise your body and brain
  • Do you dare to dunk? The ultimate challenge when biscuits taste this good
  • Our fresh-from-the-oven tray bake – how can something that smells so great be good for you?
  • Go Greek – bring some sunshine to the afternoon with a honey and oats energising smoothie
  • The Tuck Shop – all the traditional childhood favourites
  • American cookies – freshly baked each day – but when they’re gone, they’re gone

If you’re meeting in one of our other rooms or suites, we will confirm refreshment times and options with you at the time of booking.

Conference Lunch

Served in the stylish Martindale Restaurant, our spectacular Cumbrian hors d’oeuvres table and hot & cold buffet selection means there is something for everyone – whatever their dietary needs or tastes.

Dinner and Private Dining Options

The Martindale Restaurant brings you the best of Cumbrian food and drink. Head Chef, Doug Hargreaves, and his team create regularly changing menus that showcase the finest seasonal Cumbrian produce, sourced from local suppliers such as Bells Village Bakery and Thornby Moor Dairy.

At the end of a long day, a great dinner is a chance to relax and reflect on the achievements and some valuable social time as well. As each event is different we’ll work with you to plan a dining experience that meets your needs.  A few of our more popular requests are:

  • private dining for groups of 10 or more – available to meetings at no additional charge
  • an informal night – perfect for training events where you’re dining together on a few nights – our curry night is popular
  • sharing platters – again, great for a group who perhaps get together regularly at monthly meetings – everyone has a chance to taste some new dishes and the meal becomes an event in itself
  • informal dining in groups of 4 or 6 – if not everyone needs to dine at one time
