British, Modern Restaurants in Pooley Bridge
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. Four & Twenty
British, Modern restaurant in Penrith
42 King St - CA11
“Behind a rather nondescript exterior of the local red sandstone”, this converted old bank near the town’s market square “was once the sister restaurant of the remarkable Mrs Millers at Culgaith, which disappeared with the closure of the garden centre which housed it” a few years ago. “It continues where Mrs Millers left off, with an attractive and attractively priced short menu”: “very comforting, hearty dishes, but also delicious” and “beautifully presented”. “We live in Darlington but regularly drive over to Four and Twenty. The food is amazing value! The staff go above and beyond to make us feel welcome and comfortable” (“jugs of iced tap water come unbidden to the table!”).
4. The George Hotel
British, Modern restaurant in Penrith
Devonshire Street - CA11
2022 Review: This old-school market-town hotel is a cosseting sort of spot, whether you opt to dine in the “comforting bar area” or the silver-and-ruby-red restaurant, garlanded with two AA rosettes for its “consistently high standard” of “well-presented” food.
