"The team at the Forest Side have a passion for fresh, local and sustainable ingredients and this Lakeland mansion’s one acre kitchen garden – planted with over 100 varieties of vegetables, 25 types of herb, and various micro-greens – plays a large part in the dining experience. They say that ‘Forest Side is designed to be a reflection of the landscape in which it sits’, and the micro-seasonal menu also features wild ingredients foraged from the surrounding fells, forests and lakes by the chef Paul Leonard and his team." - The MICHELIN Guide UK Editorial Team
