Silver Vein at Nent Hall Country House Hotel

Silver Vein is the restaurant at Nent Hall Country House Hotel in Alston, Cumbria. The name comes from the seams of silver and lead once mined in the surrounding North Pennines hills, a history that still shapes the character of the hotel today. Set within Nent Hall's historic stone walls, Silver Vein offers a dining room with that heritage close at hand.

Every Sunday, Silver Vein serves a Sunday lunch of roast favourites, vegetarian options and all the classic trimmings, followed by regular Sunday Sessions featuring live music from local artists. Reservations are recommended, and tables can be booked directly with the restaurant.

The restaurant is open to hotel guests and non-residents alike, making it a destination in its own right for visitors to Alston and the wider North Pennines as well as a natural choice for anyone staying at Nent Hall. Its historic setting gives Silver Vein a sense of place that's tied closely to the surrounding landscape and mining heritage of the area.

For those exploring the North Pennines, Silver Vein combines its historic surroundings with a straightforward approach to Sunday dining, shaped by the region's mining past.
