Heft.

Like the Herdwick, Kevin & Nicola Tickle are ‘hefted’ to Cumbria. Nicola is from a family that have continuously farmed, the fells and valleys, of the Lake District since the 1600s.

Kevin, also Cumbrian born, was taught by his father to forage and fish. He understands the rhythms of the lakes, becks, heaths and the sea. They are of this landscape. Cumbria is their ‘heft’

The 17th century Inn is run by Kevin and Nicola Tickle and features five guests rooms, a bar serving quality beers, carefully selected wines, accompanied by seasonal small plates and snacks, many of which provide guests with an insight into their restaurant menus and a restaurant serving up Kevin’s unique take on modern British food using a wealth of locally reared and farmed produce in his dishes.
