heft

The front bar still takes walk-ins for a pint and a freshly made pie, which tells you everything about what Heft is trying to be. A gastropub in a 17th-century Cumbrian inn, it holds a Michelin star for the tasting menu served out back, where the chef's foraging knowledge and deep roots in the local landscape produce dishes that are playful in name and serious in depth. All tables eat at the same time, so don't be late.
