Welcome · 歡迎
Tucked between fells and water, a small kitchen with a generous heart.
For decades China Cottage has welcomed walkers, locals and travellers off the streets of Ambleside into its warm, lantern-lit dining room. We cook the dishes our family grew up with — wok-fired, fragrant, and never in a hurry.

Plates for the table.
Order a few, pass them around. Stir-fried greens with chilli and garlic, sticky Peking ribs, a steaming clay-pot of fried rice — the way we eat at home.
