Hotel Rudyard’s menu is vast, and features a delightful blend of familiar favourites and unique creations. It's a sure bet that everyone in your party will find something to their liking. During our visit, we chose the Dunwood beef burger (£16.95), chicken caesar salad (£15.90), hand-battered cod (£16.95) and a side of sweet potato fries (£3.95).
The burger is a must-try, featuring juicy beef and perfectly balanced toppings. The caesar salad was crisp, fresh, and well seasoned with a perfectly tangy caesar dressing that hit the spot. The fish and chips were golden, flaky, and fried to perfection; a quintessential pub classic done right.
Each dish was fabulously fresh, with evident care taken in both flavour and presentation. We were particularly impressed with the inclusion of local produce, showcasing the best of what the area has to offer.
Rudyard Lake is a beloved local beauty spot, and on a bright, sunny evening, it truly shines.
