Allium at Askham Hall

Modern British · ★ Michelin

££££

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. Sauces are a highlight and really elevate each dish.

Dog and Gun Inn

British Contemporary · ★ Michelin

£££

The Dog and Gun is a proper village pub which does what pubs do best, by providing warmth, honesty and food that puts a smile on your face. Chef-Owner Ben Queen-Fryer cooks with his heart and plenty of natural talent, keeping dishes satisfying and recognisable. Local ingredients, including seafood from Maryport, are showcased in pure, understated compositions with plenty of depth, where flavour comes above all else. You’ll find suet puddings, soufflés and some of the best triple-cooked chips around – not forgetting a great local pint.

1863 Restaurant

Modern British

£££

This immaculately kept bistro is set in the heart of a pretty Lake District village and its name is a reference to the year the property was first built as the local blacksmith’s. The menus, including tasting options, focus on well-executed, modern British dishes with clean, distinct flavours. Top-quality produce from around Cumbria is the bedrock, be it lamb, beef featherblade or Cartmel Valley venison. Welcoming, genuine service and seven comfortable bedrooms further add to the appeal.
