• Skitby

Welcome to Skitby House

We have a reputation for highly successful party planning, first class event planning & seamless event management.

Our reputation has grown by word-of-mouth, not only as superb outside caterers and for the delicious food we serve, but also for the style and the consistent high quality service we provide.

Once a working dairy and beef farm Skitby has since been converted to a stylish country restaurant and award-winning function venue.

The Traditional sandstone and ancient timber work merge with a cool, chic yet elegant contemporary feel, all helping to create a unique environment. We are happy to tell you that our journey to bring you stylish, elegant events, mouth-watering menus and outstanding service is underway. We believe we will offer you the best possible experience from the moment you meet us to the day we deliver your special occasion. The caring and passionate team at Skitby will always aspire to deliver a professional and seamless service.

Our grounds have plenty of space for marquees as well as beautiful gardens for photographs with views of the lake district and Carrock fells. We are situated a short distance from the Scottish Borders and M74 motorway and only 6 miles from Carlisle Lake District Airport, Carlisle and junction 44 of the M6 motorway with private car parking available.
