Nestled in the heart of Pooley Bridge, 1863 is an intimate modern British bistro housed in a beautifully restored Victorian building. With just 32 covers, the dining room offers a relaxed yet elegant setting for seasonal menus crafted using local and foraged ingredients. Head Chef Phil Corrie and his young team deliver inspired dishes—available in three-course, five-course or seven-course tasting menus—with optional wine pairings, all served with warm and attentive service. Recognised with multiple AA Rosettes and stellar reviews, 1863 provides a memorable fine‑dining experience in the Lake District.
