We have been using Orton for years, and it never disappoints - not even when it is closed due to Coronavirus. Waking up to this fact late, I placed orders for chicken and lamb on Good Friday and took delivery on Easter Saturday. Delivery AND smiles! Local food, local people, local happiness.... Thank you, team Orton!

situated in the beautiful Eden Valley with close proximity to the M6 the school is set in a modern country house surrounded by 8 acres of garden and pastureland. The teaching kitchen enables each student to have their own work station, whilst still retaining a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere where you are able to improve your skills and techniques. The courses are many and varied.

So, this time me and my two foodie friends completed the One Pot Wonders course with the amazing Pat Russell. A demo day which means Pat prepares and cooks several dishes in the morning (with lots of tips, laughs and tastings), a fabulous lunch, then we made one of those dishes in the afternoon to bring home. This time it was Chicken and Apple Casserole - quite simply a dream of a dish, hearty and so flavoursome. The hubster and I thoroughly enjoyed the fruits of my labours for our dinner tonight.... 9th visit, I think that fact says it all. These course are so good, informative, and all do-able back at home. All recipes, tips and a great 2 course lunch are included plus the fun factor and great time spent with like minded people who enjoy cooking and/or baking. Thank you again Pat, see you again I am sure. X

My wife (Judy) and I have just enjoyed a fantastic tour of the Keswick Brewery and tasting. Our host, Nigel, was quite superb. So enthusiastic and informative and so welcoming. An excellent visit and the samples of the ales were delicious. Can’t recommend this tour more. Only regret is that the beer is only sold in Cumbria but understandable. Can’t wait to return and sample some more and see the new Fox Tap bar open. Thanks Nigel and good luck from Tony and Judy Hodge of Salisbury.

The brewery and bar itself is a real gem. A rustic coach house serving a range of drinks including their own ale which was delicious and very reasonably priced We also stayed in the BnB accommodation which is in the adjacent building. We couldn't have been made more welcome and comfortable. The hosts were lovely, chatty and friendly. Everything about the accommodation and the meals and drinks was spot on it really was a wonderful experience. We stayed whilst walking Hadrians Wall but I would recommend a stay or a visit to anyone. It really is worth the trip.
