Featured Bampton Restaurants
1. 1863 Restaurant with Rooms
British, Modern restaurant in Pooley Bridge
Elm House, High Street - CA10
“Fair prices for food that’s consistently pleasant to excellent” wins ongoing praise for this converted blacksmith’s – nowadays a restaurant with rooms in the centre of this scenic Lakeland village on Ullswater. Cumbrian born chef Phil Corrie offers a choice of three-course à la carte menu and seven-course tasting menu (the latter for £105 per person).
2. Allium at Askham Hall
British, Modern restaurant in Penrith
Askham - CA10
“The most incredible wine list – in the league of the best three-star restaurants, with the added advantage of being relatively reasonably priced” is “coupled with a five-star level of food” from chef Richard Swale (who has held a Michelin star since 2019) at this dazzlingly good operation. It occupies a Grade I listed mansion dating from the 1200s, which has been inhabited by the family of the current owners since 1724. Converted to a restaurant with rooms in 2013, it offers an “amazing all-round experience”: “we had a stunning 1952 Pomorol, and then sat in front of the lounge fire with a gentle Cognac!”
3. Mark Greenaway at the Haweswater Hotel
British, Modern restaurant in Bampton
Lakeside Road - CA10
“Amazing stay and experience, the dishes were out of this world” – early praise for this January 2023 Lake District newcomer from the high-profile Edinburgh chef. It occupies an Art Deco hotel on the banks of Haweswater Reservoir, now transformed into a self-named fine-dining outfit focusing on local seasonal produce serving some of his signature dishes (shiitake mushrooms on toast; 11-hour slow-roast pork belly; sticky toffee soufflé). There’s also the more informal Brasserie 37, named after the year the hotel was opened. More reports please!
