With a fascinating history as a centre of the spice trade, Cumbrian cuisine has a rich heritage, and local specialities have long included exotic spices with favourites such as Cumberland sausage, potted shrimps, Grasmere gingerbread, and of course, sticky toffee pudding.

Gilpin Spice, laid back in nature, follows this theme with its open kitchen serving pan-Asian dishes inspired by countries along the spice trail – spanning the Philippines, the Indian sub-continent, Malaysia, Thailand, Indonesia, Japan and China.

The striking décor reflects the vibrant cultures that inspire its menu, with colourful, contemporary design to match Spice’s innovative dishes. Choose to dine as a party in the private dining room, at the chefs’ counter, or at your table as you relax together.
