FOOD INSPIRED BY CUMBRIA……
It is my pleasure to welcome you to Overwater Hall.
We hope you will find your evening as near to the ‘old normal’ as possible, and we thank you for your patience as we attempt to serve everyone safely.

Our aim remains, as ever, to offer the finest local produce, freshly prepared and cooked, for you.

Our local suppliers include – Richard Harrison of Wigton for his own farm-reared Beef, Pork and Lamb. Today’s beef is from a Highland Cattle Heifer, born and reared on the Uldale Fells and finished on a purpose-planted wildflower meadow at Aikhead near Wigton. This is a very hardy breed, living outside all year round so is totally grass-fed. 

Also, Fyne Fish of Cockermouth for fresh Solway Fish, Langoustine and Lobsters. Lakes Speciality Foods of Staveley for Sausage, Bacon and Poultry. Sandyriggs Nursery of Wigton for all our lovely seasonal soft fruits: Strawberries, Raspberries, Blackcurrants, Damsons, Elderberries. Thornby Moor Dairy for Cheese. Darkhouse Coffee Roasters of Keswick for locally roasted coffee beans. Roland Watson and Son of Aspatria for our delicious, genuinely free range eggs.

We hope you will enjoy your meal – and if there is anything we can do to improve your evening, please do ask!
