The Beech Hill Hotel overlooking Lake Windermere with its beautiful views, is one of the Lake Districts most distinctive hotels.  Have planned a number of special events throughout 2013 to entertain and delight our guests.

With the exception of January, The Beech Hill has a busy calendar of special events for your pleasure, from Valentines and Guy Fawkes Night to Wedding Fayres and Gourmet Nights.

Try our Champagne and Strawberries Evening where we celebrate the start of the great British summer with an extravaganza of Champagne and strawberries, including a specially selected Champagne for each course of your meal.

Or how about our Summer Ball? Enjoy a Champagne Cocktail on the terrace, a delicious four course dinner full of fantastic Cumbrian summer fayre, followed by dancing until midnight to the loud salsa party tunes of The La Tinto Bros from South America.

On Fridays and Saturdays throughout December we have a series of Las Vegas and Hollywood party nights or you can try your luck at our special Charity Party Night, raising funds for the British Heart Foundation.

At the heart of each event is our stunning food. Mouth-watering masterpieces of English and French cuisine produced under the stewardship of Head Chef Chris Davies to AA Rosette standard, all using the finest produce our beautiful county has to offer.

Our range of attractive event and accommodation packages are available throughout the year and will give you a weekend to remember in the heart of the beautiful Lake District.

As a receptionist here at The Beech Hill Hotel and a lover of food and wine, I was lucky enough to experience the first of our Gourmet evenings from a guest perspective with my parents who were staying at the time (not planned honest!!).

The evening started with an enjoyable champagne and canapé reception in the lounge area before we moved through to the restaurant.

Once we are all seated, the wine sommelier  introduced himself and explained about the wines that were to compliment each course.  Following this, we had a 5 course meal with a different glass of wine with each course to enhance the different tastes.  Each wine and course was served with information from the sommelier, so it gave me an idea of what kind of wine to order when I dine in the future, as I am a novice to this!  I tend not to drink red wine, but the two red wines served with the courses were not too heavy, all were easy to drink with beautiful flavours.

The food was mouth watering and the service was exceptional.  Each course was well presented and thought out and I loved every single mouth full!

After the meal myself and the other guests retired to the lounge area.  I had a chance to talk to some of the other residents in the hotel, all of whom stated what a very relaxing and enjoyable evening it had been and many can’t wait to return to the next one on 30 September 2011.

Please follow the link  http://www.beechhillhotel.co.uk/special-offers/special-events/gourmet-and-wine-tasting-nights/ for full details of the next Gourmet night and all other up and coming events.

I would thoroughly recommend it!

Today feels a little sad; the Christmas decorations are coming down which means it’s all over again for another year.

Christmas to most people means getting a nice long break from work, enjoying staying at home with the family, eating too much, playing games, watching re-runs of Only Fools and Horses and so on, but for those of us working in Hotels it’s very different, it’s our busiest time of year and so we work longer hours and therefore spend more time at the Hotel than we do at home.

Most people would think that this sounds horrendous but after 15 years I’ve come to love it and really wouldn’t have it any other way.  I get to enjoy Christmas with hundreds of different people, many of whom I see every year at Christmas, an extended Beech Hill Christmas family.  I get to enjoy the best Christmas day lunch (cooked by my favourite Chefs) with my family who come to stay at the Hotel for the three day break.  I have New Years Eve with the friends that I have worked with for the past 7 years; glass of Champagne in hand and watching the fireworks over the Lake, rather than fighting the crowds in the pubs and clubs.

You see I really get the best of all worlds; great food, time with friends and family and free entertainment, without the boredom, the expense, the washing up and best of all no cutting pointless little crosses into the bottom of brussel sprouts!  So to everyone who visited over the festive period, for Christmas parties, Christmas and New Year breaks, and getaways in between, thank you for making my Christmas extra special.
