Celebrating the best of Cumbria!
We always enjoy celebrating and honouring those regional businesses who help put Cumbria firmly on the map. This year we were excited to be one of the sponsors of the first Cumbria Life Readers’ Choice Awards.
Held at Carus Green Golf Club in Kendal on Thursday 22nd September, the awards were an event for honouring businesses from across Cumbria for their outstanding work. Representatives from the shortlisted businesses attended a glittering event which was hosted by television presenter, Kate Walby.
The awards were established as a brand-new way to honour the people and places that make Cumbria special; recognising excellence, innovation and popularity.
Readers were asked to nominate their favourites across 11 categories covering hospitality, the arts and entertainment, ethical business and fundraising.
We were proud to be a part of the celebrations by sponsoring the ‘Best Casual Dining Experience’ category.
Shortlisted for the award were:
* Hare & Hounds Inn, Bowland Bridge
* The Fleece at Ruleholme
* The Punch Bowl Inn, Crosthwaite
We would like to congratulate the winner of our sponsored category; The Punch Bowl Inn, Crosthwaite!
The Punch Bowl in Crosthwaite is often credited with being the dining pub that changed the face of the Lake District food scene, and 30 years on, it remains as popular as ever.

We congratulate all finalists and winners. It’s a fantastic accolade to be voted the best by your customers and fans!
