Legendary cinema and restaurant Zeffirellis and Fellinis has taken home four industry awards this month.

At the 2017 Restaurant and Bar awards, organised by international magazine Lux, Fellinis was judged to be the ‘best vegetarian restaurant in Cumbria’.

The 37-year-old establishment was also presented with the ‘excellence award’ for dinner entertainment.

At the 2017 Business Excellence Awards, organised by AI Global Media, the business won crowned ‘best hospitality and entertainment group in the north’.

Fellinis was also named ‘Lake District hospitality venture of the year’ at the same ceremony.

Dorothy Smith, managing director, said: “We are delighted to accept these awards which are based on judging by industry experts, but also by our customers who continue to appreciate what we are doing.”

As well as being a cinema and a restaurant, Zefirellis and Fellinis also has a reputation for its regular music events held in its jazz bar.

The firm has five cinema screens across three sites, two restaurants, a café, jazz bar, and vegetarian guest house in Ambleside, along with the luxury vegetarian B&B and self-catering accommodation at Yewfield, between Ambleside and Hawkshead.
