Is outdoor dining available at The Swan Hotel?
Yes, The Swan offers relaxed and scenic outdoor dining in the Lake District from spring through autumn. Whether you’re soaking up the sunshine by the river or enjoying a crisp evening with blankets and heaters, our outdoor spaces are the perfect place to dine al fresco. It’s ideal for anything from long lunches to evening cocktails in the fresh Cumbrian air.
Do I need to book in advance for outdoor dining?
Booking in advance is highly recommended, especially during weekends and holiday periods. Our riverside outdoor dining area is one of the most popular spots in the region, and reservations ensure you get the best seat with the best view. Walk-ins are welcome when space allows, but during warmer months, we advise calling ahead or booking online to avoid disappointment.
Is the outdoor dining area dog-friendly?
Absolutely! The Swan is a dog-friendly hotel, and that extends to our outdoor dining spaces. We welcome well-behaved four-legged guests on The Terrace and even provide water bowls and dog treats. It’s the perfect place to relax after a long walk along the river or a day exploring the Lakes with your pup.
What kind of food is served in the outdoor dining area?
Our outdoor dining menu is a seasonal extension of The Swan Inn. You can expect everything from light lunches to hearty classics and refreshing summer drinks. During special events or sunny weekends, we often fire up the outdoor pizza van. Menus change to reflect local produce and the time of year.
Is there outdoor heating or shelter in case of bad weather?
Yes, we know the Lake District weather can be unpredictable, so when it’s a little chilly or there are spots of rain, we recommend joining us inside at The Swan Inn.
