George and Meera

Join us for an exclusive evening with George and Meera where Indian Street Food Meets the Lake District for a fanstastic fusion menu bursting with flavour and locally sourced ingredients!

Since relocating from Bangalore to Ambleside in 2007, George and Meera have been driven by a vision and passion to bring the flavours of their Indian upbringing to their now home in Cumbria- focusing on sourcing only the highest quality local ingredients!

Trained as a chef in India, George honed his skills at culinary school, gaining experience in classic French, regional Indian, and Italian cuisine.

Following the success of their French-influenced English restaurants, Merienda Keswick and The Ivy House in Braithwaite, they are now returning to their roots with their latest venture,  new Indian street food restaurant ‘Bagheera’ in Keswick.
