Website MapWelcome to the Allium at Askham Hall, our award-winning Michelin star and 4 AA Rosettes restaurant.
The cycle of life in the gardens and fields at Askham Hall dictate our menus. We work with the seasons and grow, source and preserve the produce from our gardens, farms and woodland.
We offer our guests two dining possibilities:
Dining in smaller groups (six or less), and
Larger parties of six or more.
A special set menu based on the above two options which will be set close to the day depending on what produce is at it's very best at that moment. If you have any particular preferences these can also be taken into consideration in preparing your special set menu subject to price confirmation.
