About The Fellstone at Whitbarrow

The Fellstone is the newly refurbished restaurant, bar and lounge at Whitbarrow, the holiday village near Berrier and Troutbeck between Penrith and Keswick. It opened in 2026 as the successor to the resort's former Eden Bar & Restaurant and is designed as a relaxed place for both resort guests and other diners to stop for lunch, dinner or drinks.The restaurant takes its name and feel from the surrounding Lake District landscape. Inside, the emphasis is on warm, comfortable bistro-style dining rather than a formal hotel restaurant, with a separate bar and lounge that works well for a drink or a more casual meal.Luxury Lodges describes the food as a modern take on the English countryside, including traditional favourites such as Sunday roasts and homemade cakes alongside more refined seasonal dishes.

The current kitchen is led by chef Kyle Greenwood, with the wider Whitbarrow operation highlighting British, French and Asian influences in his cooking.The current menu changes, but the style is broad enough to suit both an easy lunch and a more substantial evening meal. Current restaurant listings classify The Fellstone as British dining, with vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free options available. Anyone with a serious allergy or specific dietary requirement should still contact the restaurant before travelling.One particularly useful feature for Lake District visitors is that well-behaved dogs are welcome in the bar and lounge, where water bowls and treats are provided. That makes it a practical stop after a walk when leaving the dog behind is not an option. Dogs should not be assumed to be permitted in every restaurant dining area, so ask when booking if this matters to you.The Fellstone is part of Whitbarrow Village rather than a standalone town-centre restaurant. The wider resort includes accommodation and leisure facilities, and there is on-site parking. You do not need to be staying at Whitbarrow to find and book the restaurant through the public booking system, although resort events and busy holiday periods can affect availability.Current booking information lists lunch and evening service on Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, plus Sunday service, with Wednesday and Thursday closed. Opening times can change seasonally and the resort itself advises checking before travelling, so use the booking link for the latest table availability.The location is useful for visitors exploring the northern Lake District, particularly anyone staying around Penrith, Ullswater, Troutbeck or the A66 corridor. It is also within reach of Keswick while avoiding the busiest town-centre dining areas.Advance booking is sensible for evening meals, weekends and Sunday dining. The public booking platform currently accepts reservations online.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Worth It

A worthwhile addition to the food scene between Penrith and Keswick. The refurbishment has turned Whitbarrow's restaurant into a much more distinctive bistro, with relaxed British food, scenic surroundings and a genuinely useful dog-friendly lounge.
