The Restaurant

Located in Ambleside, The Old Stamp House occupies the historic building where William Wordsworth once worked. This intimate restaurant, with only 28 covers, is run by brothers Ryan and Craig Blackburn. Ryan helms the kitchen, showcasing his passion for Cumbrian cuisine through a tasting menu that tells a story of the region. The Old Stamp House was awarded a Michelin star in 2019, an accolade it has retained since. The restaurant's cuisine is influenced by the local landscape and, surprisingly, by historic seafaring trade. Chef Ryan combines traditional recipes with exotic ingredients, creating innovative dishes using locally sourced and hand-reared ingredients.
