Ranked #249 in Opinionated About Dining's Top European Restaurants and scoring 87.5 on La Liste 2025, Forest Side is the Lake District's most credentialled fine-dining destination outside Cartmel. Chef Paul Leonard's kitchen-garden-driven Modern British cooking justifies the ££££ price tag, particularly at lunch. Book well ahead — this is a hard reservation and demand from destination diners is consistent.
