Some things don't need reinventing.

Our sticky toffee pudding has been quietly winning people over at The Giddy Goose for a while now. Dark, rich sponge, a generous pour of warm toffee sauce, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream that never stays perfectly round for long. Pair it with a glass of rosé and you've got the kind of evening that ends with someone saying "we should come back next week."

You don't need to be staying with us to join us for dinner. Pop in for the full three courses, or just come for pudding. We won't judge.

One down, eleven to go

Congratulations to Peter Buswell, the first winner of our 12 Weeks of Christmas giveaway. Peter stayed with us last week with his son Henry, and he's now off on a European mini break. We'll choose the destination, and Peter gets to decide whether he goes for two, three or four nights.

The rules are simple. Stay with us for one or more nights between now and Christmas and you're entered automatically. There's nothing to fill in and nothing to share. We draw a new winner every Monday, so every stay between now and the end of December is a chance to leave the Lakes with more than happy memories.

Peter's name is on the board. Yours could be next.

There’s a right way to spend a Sunday, and it involves a roast dinner, a view of Windermere, and absolutely no washing up.

Pheasant season has landed on Derek's menu, and he hasn't held back.

Pheasant breast stuffed with wild boar and damson, served with purple carrots, a velvety butternut squash purée and a plum and red w**e jus that ties the whole plate together. Sweet, savoury and deeply seasonal, it's the kind of dish that makes a cold evening worth looking forward to.

£24, and here while this week's menu lasts.

The best view in the house might be the one you wake up to.

Our rooms at The Ryebeck are made for doing very little. Deep, comfy beds you'll struggle to leave, soft lighting for lazy evenings, and windows looking out over gardens, woodland and the fells beyond Windermere.

When you do get up, Bowness is a short stroll away, our bar is ready for a drink with a view, and The Giddy Goose has dinner covered. Dogs are welcome too.

Stay one night or more before Christmas and you're automatically entered into our 12 Weeks of Christmas draw for a European mini break.

Derek scribbled "NEW SOUP" on the whiteboard this week and drew little lines around it like it was a celebrity. Having tasted it, we understand why.

Parsnip and spiced coconut. The parsnip brings that sweet, earthy depth that feels made for October in the Lakes, while the coconut and spice add a soft, slow warmth. It's finished with a drizzle of curry oil and topped with parsnip crisps, so every spoonful gets a bit of crunch. Fresh bread and butter on the side for the all-important bowl wiping.

Derek has been busy with this weeks new Giddy Goose menu, and it includes a few dishes that have never been on a plate here before.

First up is KFR, Kentucky Fried Ryebeck. It's crispy whitebait with watercress and burger sauce, and it's the starter we expect to be talking about all week.

The grey mullet is new too. Pan-seared fillets come on baby leek crushed potatoes with a lobster red pepper bisque and heritage tomatoes.

The pheasant is new as well. The breast is stuffed with wild boar and damson and served with purple carrots, butternut squash purée and a plum red w**e jus. It's proper autumn on a plate.

Don't worry, the favourites haven't gone anywhere. The Rag Pudding is still on: beef shin braised for six hours in suet, with proper chips, chip shop mushy peas and bone marrow jus. So is the Kidderton Ash goat's cheese on toast, the 10oz ribeye with peppercorn sauce, and the sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream.

Sunday's sorted, you just need to book it.

Top side of beef served pink, porchetta stuffed with wild garlic, or a proper rag pudding with six-hour braised beef shin. Every roast comes with a giant Yorkshire pudding, the best roast potatoes and Derek's 5-day gravy, which is exactly as good as it sounds.

Add a side of cauliflower cheese, save room for sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice cream, and enjoy it all with cosy views across the lake from the restaurant.

Tables go quickly, so get yours in now.

The menu changes every week, so there's always something new to try, and there's every reason to come back the week after.

You don't need to be staying with us. Come up above Bowness, grab a seat with a view, and let the kitchen do the rest. Dogs are welcome too.
