Penrith, Cumbria – November 2026
Following its recent opening, Brambles Café Bar, Restaurant & Deli at Newton Rigg Estate is delighted to announce the extension of its opening hours, from Monday 16th November, until 10pm, introducing evening dining to its growing hospitality offering.
Situated on the beautifully redeveloped Newton Rigg Estate, just minutes from Junction 40 of the M6, Brambles has undergone an extensive refurbishment, transforming the former college facilities into a stylish, contemporary restaurant, café bar and deli.
Since opening its doors in October, Brambles has welcomed local residents, former Newton Rigg College staff, business visitors and those exploring the Eden Valley and Lake District. The introduction of evening dining marks another exciting milestone in the restaurant's development.
A New Destination for Evening Dining
With its welcoming atmosphere, thoughtfully designed interiors and relaxed surroundings, Brambles offers an inviting setting for everything from an informal dinner with friends to a romantic evening for two or a relaxed family gathering.
The restaurant combines contemporary styling with rustic features, comfortable seating and a warm ambience, creating a distinctive dining experience on the outskirts of Penrith.
The extended opening hours will allow guests to enjoy Brambles beyond its popular daytime café and lunch service, providing another choice for evening dining in the local area.
A spokesperson for Newton Rigg Estate commented:
"We are delighted to be taking this next step in the development of Brambles. Our vision has always been to create somewhere that the local community can enjoy throughout the day and into the evening.
The response to our opening has been encouraging, and extending our hours to 10pm gives us the opportunity to welcome even more guests, whether they are joining us for a relaxed dinner, celebrating a special occasion or simply enjoying an evening out.
Brambles is an important part of the wider regeneration of Newton Rigg Estate, and we look forward to continuing to develop our hospitality offering as we establish ourselves within the local community."
The opening and continued development of Brambles forms part of the significant investment being made by Leo Group in the regeneration of the former Newton Rigg College campus.
The estate is being transformed into a thriving destination for business, leisure and accommodation, with facilities including the Herdman Hotel, serviced apartments, conference and meeting rooms, sports and leisure facilities, and a range of independent businesses.
Brambles is central to this vision, providing a welcoming place for local residents, businesses, hotel guests and visitors to come together.
With extensive free onsite parking and easy access from Penrith, the M6 and surrounding communities, the restaurant is ideally positioned to attract diners from across the Eden Valley and beyond.
Whether visiting for breakfast, brunch, lunch or now dinner, Brambles aims to offer good food, a friendly welcome and an enjoyable dining experience in its beautifully refurbished surroundings.
