Food, fuel and facilities at Tebay

Food and drink includes farm shops and kitchens that use local suppliers rather than the usual chains. There is also a hotel and Tesla EV charging. Outlets and opening hours change from time to time, so it is worth checking with the operator if you are relying on something in particular.

Worth knowing

Tebay is run by the Westmorland family business rather than one of the big national operators, and it is known for its farm shops.
