Dining
As with all good country houses, the table is at the heart of the
castle. Everyone dines together and it is here that new friendships
are often forged.

Simon
& Wendy use local produce whenever possible. Cooking
at Augill is modern British, about exploring flavour and
texture, combining different styles and challenging tastebuds.
Dinner
is a set menu planned around guests' preferences. Breakfast
is no less of an extravagance with freshly squeezed orange
juice, home- made bread, the finest Cumberland bacon, oak
smoked salmon and free-range eggs from the farm next door.
A wine list with a distinctly New World bias compliments
the food.

Breakfast
and dinner are eaten around the twelve foot table in the Gothic
blue dining room where evening meals can be truly memorable occasions
especially when the house is full. Traditionally reared lamb, beef
and pork, supplied directly from the farm just a mile away, as well
as Yorkshire cheeses and locally grown fruit and vegetables, always
feature on Simon and Wendy's innovative dinner menus.

Cumberland sausages and award winning bacon, together with locally
baked bread and freshly laid free range eggs from a neighbouring
farm are breakfast staples.
The
flamboyance of the house is best found within the opulent lounges
and dining room were a 'House Party' style dinner is served around
a huge oak table. A full residential licence allows for a modest
selection of wines.
Simon
& Wendy once owned a restaurant in Mayfair, London and posess
excellent dinner expertise!
Dinner available on most week-ends and two course supper
