As the festive season approaches, The Shepherds Arms in Ennerdale Bridge is inviting diners to enjoy a taste of Christmas with a special menu celebrating seasonal flavours, comforting classics and the warm hospitality of this much loved Lakeland inn.
Available from Tuesday 1st December until Thursday 24th December, the Christmas menu offers a tempting choice of starters, main courses and desserts, making it the perfect excuse to gather family and friends for a festive meal in the heart of the valley.
Guests can begin with a warming bowl of cream of mushroom soup, or choose something a little different with smoked salmon and prawn roulade served with lemon crème fraîche on crisp leaves.
Other starters include ham hock terrine topped with pickles, accompanied by plum chutney and toast, and baked fig with melted Stilton, roasted walnuts and a balsamic glaze.
For the main course, traditional Christmas flavours take centre stage with roast turkey breast, pigs in blankets, cranberry sauce and natural jus. Those looking for an alternative can enjoy slow cooked shoulder of lamb on crushed potato, topped with lamb fillet and finished with a red wine jus, or pan fried duck breast served with a marmalade and port reduction.
There is also a taste of the coast with seabass fillet on spinach, accompanied by a white wine lobster velouté, while vegetarians can enjoy baked goats cheese with a chestnut crumb and cranberry port jus.
No festive feast would be complete without something sweet, and the dessert menu delivers plenty of seasonal indulgence. Choose from traditional Christmas pudding with rum sauce, warm lemon tart with vanilla ice cream, a Black Forest Christmas log or raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake. To finish, guests can enjoy coffee and a mince pie.
Set in the picturesque village of Ennerdale Bridge, The Shepherds Arms is renowned for its homemade food, welcoming atmosphere and celebration of quality local produce. With its characterful bar and inviting dining spaces, it provides a cosy setting for catching up with loved ones and enjoying a little festive cheer.
Surrounded by the beautiful landscapes of Ennerdale, the inn is also an ideal destination for those looking to combine a winter walk with a delicious meal. Whether planning a festive get together, a family lunch or a special evening out, the Christmas menu offers a wonderful opportunity to enjoy good food and traditional Cumbrian hospitality.
