Heft, Newton in Cartmel

About us

Like the Herdwick, Kevin & Nicola Tickle are ‘hefted’ to Cumbria. Nicola is from a family that have continuously farmed, the fells and valleys, of the Lake District since the 1600s. Kevin, also Cumbrian born, was taught by his father to forage and fish. He understands the rhythms of the lakes, becks, heaths and the sea. They are of this landscape. Cumbria is their ‘heft’.

This Michelin star restaurant in the Lake District has a wonderful 12 course taster menu which showcases the culinary skills of its owners using locally sourced fresh produce. Can get a tad bit noisy when full.

Tasty in the end, but waiting 45 minutes after the time that the table was booked for the bread to arrive was a bit of a trial. Main courses all good, puddings ok, although the soggy waffle on one of them was icky. Nice enough, but how on Earth is this Michelin quality?

Such an amazing place. Staff are always happy and talkative and always make a fuss of the dog/kids. Bar menu is so nice! Pies are always full to the brim and soup is always very tasty!!

Proud this is one of my local pubs. Took a party of 7 and everyone loved it. Every dish hit the spot. Service and wine fantastic and the atmosphere of the place is perfect. Fully recommend.

Such a welcoming special feel when you enter we were booked in at 12 for a lunch time visit. We were welcomed and asked if we wanted drinks ,we sat in the front bar by the friendly fire. We were taken to our seats quickly and there was a clean and spacious table for the 4 of us to sit at. The staff checked if we were happy and then showed us the wine list The staff were very knowledgeable explaining every dish as it was brought to the table. They poured wine when our glasses needed refilling without looking harassed and like they enjoyed the task at hand. The experience was amazing the food was delicious and such a range of flavours. I was so pleased that we managed to get a reservation it was such a wonderful experience. Thank you for making our holiday just a little better.
