Allium at Askham Hall

Located at the historic Askham Hall near Penrith, Allium offers a truly refined dining experience in a beautifully restored 14th-century pele tower. Led by head chef Richard Swale, the kitchen transforms seasonal produce—from the estate’s gardens, farmland, and woodlands—into graceful, modern British dishes that highlight natural flavours and textures. Guests begin their meal lounging by a crackling fire before moving into the stylish dining room with garden views and tiled floors. Each course reflects the changing seasons, and the thoughtful wine list has received national recognition for its depth and quality. Michelin-starred and awarded four AA rosettes, Allium is a destination dining venue that celebrates provenance, elegance, and care.
