1. Allium at Askham Hall
British, Modern restaurant in Penrith
Askham - CA10
Proceed from one of the cosy lounges to dinner in the intimate dining room, complete with open kitchen of this accoladed Lakeland destination, which sits inside a picturesque Grade I listed mansion dating from the 1200s (occupied by the family of the current owners since 1724 and converted to a restaurant with rooms in 2013). Chef Richard Swale presides over a seven-course tasting menu for £125 per person, although he does well to outshine the “huge book of a wine list” – “an amazing selection for all tastes and budgets”.
2. George & Dragon
British, Traditional restaurant in Clifton
“Newly renovated and as charming as ever” – this Cumbrian pub is in the same stable as well-known Askham Hall and is again winning strong all-round ratings in our survey (having been forced to close till mid-2023 after a fire).

4. Four & Twenty
British, Modern restaurant in Penrith
42 King St - CA11
“A rather anonymous exterior in the ubiquitous local red sandstone makes this excellent little restaurant somewhat missable at first glance”, but venture inside the former bank and you’ll find a “remarkably creative restaurant” offering “a menu of essentially bistro classics, all done well and with obvious generosity”. Add in “relaxed, thoughtful and non-intrusive service”, and it won nothing but praise this year, with one reporter even keen to award it “11 out of 10”. Top Menu Tip – “The slow-cooked beef with Parmesan and truffle chips was a dish of the year”; “a venison suet pie, rich with port, and served with an improbably delicious blue cheese mash and whisky stock-based sauce was the ultimate tasty comfort food, whose deliciousness outweighed the large portion… I still managed a lovely sticky toffee pudding though!”
