The Music Room at Augill

Contemporary dining in a friendly informal setting

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

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 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”

“Eating here is a social occasion” – Red Magazine

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

Dinner £35 three courses, two courses £28.50

Advance booking for all our food is essential.

Private Dining

We can host private dinner parties on any night of the week.  Enjoy the intimate Library where you will be entirely separate from the main dining room

Choose from our changing house 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 and 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 between 2pm and 5pm. With limited capacity to ensure you don’t feel crowded or rushed 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  – 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. 

£20 per person or £28 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.

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!
