Askham Hall Earns a Michelin Star
Couples getting married at Askham Hall in Penrith, Cumbria, now have another reason to celebrate
their choice of wedding venue: Allium,
Askham Hall’s on-site restaurant has just been awarded a Michelin Star.
And we couldn’t be happier
for them.
Askham Hall is a
superb venue and this most-coveted award is thoroughly well-deserved.
The food is sumptuous, scrumptious
locally-inspired hearty fare inspired by produce that's grown on the estate and in the
surrounding area.
Charles Lowther, the
owner of Askham Hall, says,
“This is tremendous news and a testament to the dedication, creativity and sheer hard work of Richard and his talented team. The cycle of life in the gardens and fields at Askham Hall dictate our menus and we are proud to take a leading role in the Lake District’s growing reputation as a foodie destination.”

Head Chef, Richard
Swale, has been praised for his “innate understanding” of how to use the
“fantastic produce” on Askham’s doorstep. He says, “The Michelin star
is an acknowledgement of our desire to produce plates of food which are
completely in harmony with nature".
What makes Askham Hall
so special, however, isn’t just the food (although, what an excuse to visit
now!), but the fact that it’s a gorgeous wedding venue, too. One where the staff
are both conscientious and thoroughly dedicated to giving you and your partner
the happiest day of your life.

Entry is free, and we’re confident you’ll be
blown away by what you see. Click the link above or read about the event at the bottom of this post.
Askham Hall is a Grade
I listed building situated in 40-acres of beautiful gardens: the epitome of
romance. There’s a real old charm
feeling to this place: cosy warm nooks, castellated 12-century tower hall and
crackling log fires.
The addition of a Michelin Star is just another jewel to this venue’s crown and we’d like to wish everyone at Askham Hall our heartiest congratulations (and the same to anyone lucky enough to be celebrating at the venue in the near future).
