Levens Kitchen

Opened in March 2019, Levens Kitchen is a fantastic multi-purpose restaurant and event space serving a seasonally inspired menu.

It has won a number of major awards, including:
Best Newcomer, Cumbria Life's Food and Drink Awards 2020
Great Place to Eat, UK Heritage Awards 2020

Locally sourced, high-quality produce, including products grown on the Estate and in the gardens of Levens Hall, feature prominently on the menu.   You don't need to purchase admission tickets for the House and Gardens to visit Levens Kitchen, and there's no need to book a table either, so why not come and enjoy some of the delicious food on offer, all freshly prepared on site, and see for yourself exactly why we've been awarded these prestigious awards? 

We look forward to welcoming you.

 

 

Christmas Lunches at Levens Kitchen

Served daily from 12:00 – 15:30

There’s rarely much of a wait, and for the smoothest experience, we recommend having a couple of your group arrive slightly earlier. Once you’re seated, you’re welcome to relax and enjoy your table for as long as you like — there’s no rush!

While you wait, sip on one of our festive winter warmers and soak up the cheerful holiday atmosphere.

We can’t wait to welcome you and help make your Christmas celebration truly special.

Please note that we don’t take bookings, but our friendly team will do their very best to accommodate your party — no matter the size.

The Beers are on us

Brewed to a secret recipe which originated at Levens Hall in the 17th century and revived for the 300th anniversary of the Gardens in 1994, Morocco Ale, the CAMRA Silver Medal-winning strong beer, is available either to accompany your meal in Levens Kitchen, or to buy in the Potting Shed Gift Shop to take home with you.

To mark the opening of Levens Kitchen, can we tempt you with our new golden ale, 'Clipped Bush'?
