Oak Room At Appleby Manor - Eden

After completing Ben Nevis, one of our fellow friends became unwell and was unable to to continue to the other mountains to complete the ’Three peaks’ under 24hrs. We see this amazing castle on route back and checked in later that evening. The grounds facilities are stunning. They where very accommodating with their restaurant menu. We were served with outstanding food and the personal touch especially with the Chef ‘Chris’ who actually came out and presented what we were eating which I thought was a really great touch! He then personally gave us his time to even show us around some of the castle which was a great way to fishing off our night. Our first visit even thou a short stay, I would highly recommend to stay and eat here. Thank you.

We had a wonderful meal at the restaurant! Despite the ‘fine dining’ label, the portions are perfect for you to leave the restaurant and be full! The staff were incredibly welcoming and made the experience even better!

I had a well cooked sirloin steak with a peppercorn sauce and my wife had a ham cheeseboard mix followed by desserts . The Primitivo wine from Apulia was the best that i have had in the UK

Local fresh produce used .Very mixed choice on the menu of different products .Lovely desserts .Wine reasonable price .

I had the Salmon done three ways starter which was quite nice. For our mains I had steak which had to be sent back because it was **** and I had asked for medium. My wife had a ‘rack’ of lamb 2 small cutlets only (hardly constitutes a rack) . My wife had the lemon tart for desert which was quite nice. Service was good. Overall impression was that the food was expensive for what we had, notably £26 for two lamb cutlets plus a few veggies.
