As well as taking the reins of The Coniston's three dining outlets; The View Restaurant, Macleod's Bar & Lounge and Blossom Kitchen, Katherine is looking forward to training with the younger team members, as well as working alongside their fantastic brigade of chefs to curate an incredible dining offering that will really put The Coniston firmly on the local dining map.

The View is a chic yet relaxed dining experience with its roaring fires and floor to ceiling panoramic windows, which together with an all-year-round alfresco area and terrace, boast beautiful views of the lake and stunning countryside beyond.

Macleod's Bar & Lounge is the perfect place to relax and refresh, boasting a well-stocked bar, a mouth-watering menu, and of course, the warm and welcoming atmosphere that The Coniston prides itself on.

Blossom Kitchen is Nàdarra Spa's Asian fusion restaurant, offering a blend of fresh, zingy flavours with outstanding Yorkshire ingredients.
