The Lion & The Lamb

In the heart of the village of Gosforth, on the western fringe of the Lake District, The Lion & The Lamb runs a busy pizza-led takeaway alongside its long-standing village inn. Fully refurbished in 2016, it pairs a lively, modern feel with a crowd-pleasing menu that stretches well beyond the oven. Stone-baked pizzas sit happily next to kebabs, burgers and chip-shop staples, so it is an easy pick for the times when a group cannot quite agree on what they fancy.

Order to collect on your way through the village or take advantage of the local delivery, and you have a hearty meal sorted after a day out among the fells and the coast. It is a relaxed, family-friendly spot that suits everything from a quick solo bite to a full spread for the whole household, and its mix of comfort-food options keeps things refreshingly simple. For dependable takeaway in this quiet corner of west Cumbria, The Lion & The Lamb is a handy and welcoming option.
