Local Producers
Proud to support Cumbrian businesses, we continually seek out local producers to give visitors a real taste of Cumbria. Our tight knit team know the producers and the provenance of the food and drink we sell – just ask us about the local bakers, chutney makers, and you’ll get an education. Ask us about beer brewers, spirit distillers and the unique flavours in their gin stock and you will be here for hours!
Low Howgill – a local Butchers & Deli run by husband and wife team Steve and Jennie Allison. They use meat from their family farm and other local producers, Jennie bakes the pies and pasties herself. Steve is a Master Butcher and often drops off the deliveries and tells us what’s cooking. They’re very creative and always introducing us to new lines. Emma loves their marinated Bombay Chicken. Andrew is very partial to their Sausage Rolls and Darren loves their Ham and Chicken Pies.
Traybakes – Justine and her team are dedicated to the cause of cakes. This small band of bakers have their kitchen just over 4 miles from us and they call in each week with more tempting Traybakes. They’re supplied in individually wrapped bars, boxes, sharing slices and serving trays but it’s hard to decide which are our favourites. We confess to having tried them all. From Salted Caramel Brownie (Andrew’s favourite), and Biscuit Tiffin to the Granola Bar and All Butter Flapjack. If you are a fan of Wimbledon – you may even have had a slice there.

Cold pressed, extra virgin rapeseed oil naturally infused with chillies. For those who like it hot!
Grown in the beautiful Eden Valley.
Rapeseed oil is quickly growing in popularity due to both its nutritional values and cooking properties. As one of the healthiest cooking oils, it is also a firm favourite amongst chefs due to its mild nutty taste and high smoke point.
Cold pressing the seed gently extracts the superior oil without using heat or chemicals, to produce a healthy, pure product. Grown in Britain it can also help to reduce food miles.
HIGH IN OMEGA 3, 6 AND 9
These essential fatty acids, also found in fish, can help to reduce cholesterol and maintain healthy heart, brain and joint function. The optimal ratio of omega 3 to 6 is also naturally occurring in rapeseed oil.
HIGH IN VITAMIN E
A natural and powerful antioxidant benefitting the immune system, hair and skin.
LESS SATURATED FATS
Rapeseed oil has less saturated fats than any other commonly used cooking oil. With half the saturated fat of olive oil, it helps to maintain a healthy heart and is a valuable part of a healthy balanced diet.
HIGHER SMOKE POINT
Rapeseed oil can be heated to higher temperatures (230c) compared to other cooking oils like olive oil, making it ideal to cook with as it retains its nutritional benefits, taste and colour.
You can use rapeseed oil like any other cooking oil! Roast your potatoes, fry the eggs, bake a cake, mix a salad dressing, make a hummus dip! We’d love to see your creations!
