Located in the Lune Valley, a stay at The Fenwick is a real treat for ‘Foodies’ with food that places great emphasis on quality, local and seasonal ingredients.
Our Food
Our menu of British pub classics and seafood specials celebrates seasonal and regional produce.
The Fenwick is especially passionate about seafood, making the most of the day’s catch on the special’s boards. Special events are held regularly including Champagne Dinners, Lobster & Friends, Seafood Dinners, and Steak Nights which are all foodie evenings including tasting menus, sharing platters, cooking demonstrations and producer presentations. Specific request pre orders can be made and, if in season, will be sourced and prepared to your liking.
Whether it’s a pie and a pint on a Tuesday night or Specials and Champagne at the weekend, we want to be your pub of choice for every occasion.
