CHESTER
Chesters is named after a white English Bull Terrier who ruled the roost at the Drunken Duck in the eighties. Chester was a lovable rogue with a penchant for anything forbidden, tales of his antics are legendary, although sadly, he himself is long gone.
WELCOME
TO
CHESTERS
Located in Skelwith Bridge, Chesters sits by the River Brathay. We are a short walk from Elterwater following the river, a tail race from the Langdale Pikes. Karen and Steph have owned Chesters since 1985 but it wasn't until 2004 that we moved 20 yards to our present location by the Brathay.
Chesters is a lovely place to visit all year round: sit by the river in summer with a strawberry victoria or tuck into a treacle tart by the fire in winter.
AUTUMN IS
HERE
We've had the driest January to June for a million years (fact) and now we are making up for it. We've tried out a savoury selection on the counter...giant sausage rolls, free range chicken pasties, tomato & feta brioche...
We make traditional sponge cakes that granny would have been proud of as well as constantly trying new recipes. If we like the look of it , we'll bake it ... at the moment we are trying our hand at red velvet cupcakes and whoopie pies!
But don't panic - we're not messing about with our scones, it's the same recipe we used for the first batch almost 26 years ago!
