Lounges & Lounge Bar | Trout Hotel
Showcasing some of the Trout Hotel’s most elegant period features, the Lounges are a sophisticated place to relax and unwind. Stone walls and opulent interiors set the scene for a night of exquisite food paired with fine wines, malt whiskies and gins.
It is the perfect place to take a loved one for a romantic night out. The dimmed lights create an intimate atmosphere and a glass of the finest champagne is always readily available. Start your meal with a light, fluffy Spring Onion & Chive Souffle, followed by Confit Duck Leg with a full-bodied red wine and finish with an exquisite Fig Bakewell Tart.
With its stone-walled alcove, the cosy Lounge Bar is best enjoyed with a pint of beer and good friends. Although it’s hard not to settle in with a good book as well!
This homely, yet stylish bar boasts a wide range of local ales, fine wines and all types of spirits. Our handpumps are home to some of Jennings Brewery’s most famous ales, brewed less than a mile away from us, while our spirits collection mainly features Lakes Distillery liqueurs, made on the shores of Bassenthwaite Lake.
Come and enjoy relaxed conversations, hearty laughs and quality time with friends in our laid-back bar.

Riverbank | Trout Hotel
Join us on the riverbank and enjoy the peaceful lilt of the River Derwent as it flows past and meets the River Cocker ahead. This bank was a beloved fishing spot for Bing Crosby when he used to visit us and we think you’ll love it too.
With spaced out tables you can enjoy the tranquillity as you sip a cool, crisp white wine or celebrate the Summer with some fizz. Embrace the alfresco lifestyle with our small plates including Salt and Pepper Squid and Flash Fried Prawns. It’s ideal for a light lunch.
While away a summer afternoon with us, under the canopy of the majestic red oak tree. Enjoy some peace and quiet and a well-earned break in the Cumbrian sunshine.
