Celebrating local excellence: Pioneer Foodservice sponsors ‘Best Casual Dining’ at Cumbria Life Readers’ Awards 2025

On Monday 22nd September, the Cumbrian food and drink community came together in style at the stunning Low Wood Bay, Windermere to celebrate the annual Cumbria Life Readers’ Awards 2025. The evening showcased the very best in hospitality, dining, and local producers, recognising the talent and dedication that make Cumbria’s food scene so special.

We were proud to sponsor the Best Casual Dining category – an award that highlights restaurants and eateries delivering outstanding quality, relaxed atmospheres, and memorable dining experiences.

Best Casual Dining category winner: The Round, Keswick

This year’s Best Casual Dining award went to The Round in Keswick, a venue that has become renowned for its vibrant atmosphere, innovative menu, and warm, welcoming service. Their commitment to creating a dining experience that’s both relaxed and exceptional has clearly resonated with customers – and the readers of Cumbria Life.

This was an exciting win for one of our fabulous customers!
