Contemporary dining in a friendly informal setting

Our menu for December 2020

In new and interesting times we are committed to maintaining our guests’ and our team’s safety whilst ensuring that we don’t compromise on the unique experience that is dining or staying at Augill

Our Castle Covid-19 Charter 

Our food is better than it’s ever been using the best choice of freshly sourced produce from local farmers and suppliers who are as embedded in the local landscape and invested in the local economy as were are. More than ever we are committed to supporting the people and places closest to us

We have introduced a new casual all-day menu which gives you additional flexibility and choice. We can make you up a picnic box so there’s no need to worry about where is going to open or queuing for lunch while you’re out and about during the day

Whether you are staying with us or just visiting for the evening, please do book in advance as, with less tables at the moment we do get busy more quickly

Here’s what you can look forward to…

Justin joins us from one of the Lake District’s top hotels. Having started his career in Switzerland, he cut his culinary teeth under John Burton-Race at the two Michelin starred L’Ortolan restaurant in Berkshire and then worked up from commis to executing sous chef at The Lanesborough Hotel on London’s Hyde Park Corner. He lives locally with his family and is passionate about creating an authentic sense of place with his food

His philosophy is simple:

“Let’s look at more local farmers and producers and really see what amazing things we can find in the Eden Valley and surrounding area – the best quality food, cooked simply in the friendliest atmosphere”

It’s what we’ve always striven to do at Augill, only now it’s better

“Eating here is a social occasion” – Red Magazine

“No whispering over the consommé or hushed separate tables here” – M9anchester Evening News

Advance booking for all our food is essential. Bookings currently being taken for single households or support bubbles

Last orders 8.30pm

Join us post-lockdown in 2021 and enjoy ten pounds off dinner

During December we tried our re-imagining of August’s Eat Out To Help Out discount but ever tightening government restrictions made it difficult for many to come so we’re going to continue it when we are able to re-open until the end of March 2021

Quite simply, enjoy three courses from our restaurant  menu and we’ll give you £10 off per person

Private Dining

We can host private dinner parties on any night of the week.  Enjoy the intimate Library for a single family or support bubble gathering (in line with current government restrictions) where you will be entirely separate from the main dining room

Choose from our changing house or casual menus and we’ll talk to you in advance to plan for any dietary requirements

Hire of the Library includes a dedicated member of staff who will look after your party for the evening. We charge £150 in addition to the cost of dinner which starts at £35 per head

Afternoon Tea

Augill has become synonymous with afternoon tea in the Eden Valley. If you aren’t ready to venture out straight after lockdown we continue to offer our afternoon tea in a box for collection or local delivery

We take daily bookings for afternoon tea but our capacity is limited to ensure you don’t feel crowded or rushed so advance booking is essential

Here’s what you can expect…

The ultimate decadent celebration. A theatrical feast of finger sandwiches, freshly made cakes, scones with jam and clotted cream and lashings of tea, coffee or champagne

There’s a choice of two afternoon teas for December ecember 2020 – The Westmorland is our traditional tea and The Cumberland appeals to those with a less sweet tooth with savoury delicacies replacing the cakes and pastries. Our afternoon teas are made to order and should be booked by 10am. Tea is served between 1pm and 5pm

£15 per person or £23 with a glass of fizz from The Great British Bar

The Great British Bar

An exciting and inspirational concept in bar keeping – a fiercely independent British bar showcasing the best of small British distillers, brewers and fermentors with everything from spirits to cider and beer to soft drinks and mixers sourced from independent, artisan British producers. There’s a bias towards drinks from the Lakes and Dales and England’s northern counties are well represented

Of course we’re happy to embrace a few immigrants from overseas to enrich our selection because some things are just best made in other parts of the world and this is certainly no homage to Brexit!

The Great British Bar has moved from its former home in the conservatory to the old cinema and at the same time we have created additional outdoor drinking space
