Allium at Askham Hall, near Penrith
Askham Hall, Askham, Penrith CA10 2PF
.jpg)
Askham Hall is situated in the stunning Eden Valley. This historic stately home and gardens is home to the Michelin Star restaurant Allium, with Cumbrian born Head Chef Richard Swale.
The Michelin guide says:
"Relax by the fire in the cosy sitting room of this 14C pele tower, while enjoying canapés and perusing the hugely impressive wine selection from the estate cellars; then head through to the modish, country kitchen style restaurant with its unique tiled floor and garden views. Accomplished dishes are driven by the seasons and the availability of produce from the surrounding Lowther Estate, with the gardener playing a key role in the crafting of the menu."

"This 17th-century village inn has been sympathetically restored by Cumbrian born-and-bred couple Kevin and Nicola Tickle...Kevin conjures up a tasting menu inspired by the seasons, the surroundings, his imagination and his local foraging knowledge. The playfully described dishes reveal real depth and originality."

The Samling
Ambleside Road, Ambleside, LA23 1LR, United Kingdom
Fine dining restaurant, located at The Samling hotel overlooking Windermere.
