If the answer is “Yes!” then please get in touch. It might be the best call you’ve ever made.
The Gaddum Restaurant opened its doors in April 2018 and has quickly established itself as one of the most beautiful settings for lunch and afternoon teas in the Lake District. Our reputation for fantastic food and spectacular Afternoon Teas has more than matched the setting. Refined dining in a stunning but relaxed environment is the order of the day – so Chefs get to show off their skills.
The main Brockhole café is very busy and popular with families, looking for great food prepared with skill, and served quickly so they can get back out into the grounds and activities. Fresh, fast, fantastic food, served well is what the café aims to deliver consistently and daily.
Brockhole has two other café outlets serving grab and go hot and cold food, plus a great BBQ and Outdoor Kitchen offer during weekends and the busy holiday periods.
We have now added a fantastic vintage Fish and Chip van to that offer.
We are also host to a number of events/festivals which give great opportunities for exploring catering for big and busy audiences.
You will definitely work hard, particularly in school holidays, and every day can be different, but you will enjoy every hour and not having to work late evenings will give you a chance to recharge the batteries before you are ready to go again.
Working with us, you’ll enjoy:
