Cumberland Inn in Allerdale

We were a little wary as read reviews before we went but I’m so pleased we gave it a try The owner and staff couldn’t have been more friendly yes it’s a bit dated but it’s a small village pub but the meals were yummy best lamb shank I’ve had for a long time others had fish and chips and lasagna all were delicious so my advice is give it a try 👍

We arrived for our booking at 5pm and the pub had only just reopened so was quiet but soon busied up. We are a family of 4 with 2 adults, 2 children. We ordered drinks at the bar and once in the dining room they took our food order. The dining room is very small so can see why pre booking is advised. It’s quite old fashioned decor with lots of trinkets about but doesn’t take away from how fab the food is. We had steak pie, fish and chips and the children had pizza and chips and chicken nuggets and chips. All with homemade chips which were fab! The children both had chocolate cake which was absolutely huge! We will definitely be back

The Cumberland is a proper pub which serves proper homemade food. The beer is excellent and the food is always well cooked and the portions are always on the large side which is how good food should be. We've been a few times to the Cumberland and I would always recommend 100% paying a visit end enjoying the great hospitality and wonderful food.

Great value fish and chips - freshly cooked to perfection and generous portions at a very reasonable price. Service was friendly and efficient. Pub was easy to find and right on the Hadrian's Cycle Route 72 so made a great 'pitstop' for our evening meal.

We were staying at stanwix and went here for Sunday lunch, booked the night before so never left to last minute. Got there, no option for a veggie which is fair enough I'd have everything woth no meat. Asked for gravy and there was no granules just the meat juice gravy (fair enough I'd have dry) came with no mash, 1 boiled tattie which was out of a tin, 1 roast tattie, 1 Yorkshire pudding, some carrots and garden peas. Had to come out and go to the chip shop. Absolutely awful, will definitely not go back here and would not reccomend. I never leave a bad review but just feel this needed said.

Ten of us golfers from Scotland visiting Silloth Golf Club on Tuesday 28th May 2024, when we came across the Cumberland Inn which is situated adjacent to the 18th fairway. We booked in for an evening meal in the bar and boy are we glad that we did, simply awesome. We had fab food, great service, a good selection of beers and rolled in with a pool table, darts, and music. We can only say that we had a fantastic evening and we were made made to feel welcome by the staff and local customers. The pub pool team were in and joined in with the banter and socialising, excellent fun had by everyone. This is a cracker of a pub/restaurant and we would highly recommend that you give the Cumberland Inn a wee look and try it for yourself, you wont be dissapointed. Cheers to the staff and the pool team for making us welcome, and a massive well done to the chef, grub was fantastic. Andy and the lads fae Falkirk

We were staying at Solway Holiday Park and saw the Cumberland Inn on our way back and decided to try it. So glad we did the food was first class freshly cooked and piping hot we didn't have to wait long either and very reasonably priced. It was so good we ate there every night of our holiday as they had a good and variable menu. If ever we are down that way again we would certainly visit again.

Staying at Stanwix again, decided to try the local brew. Was welcomed by the Bar man instantly, really friendly vibe, the pub was mixed with some locals and some on holiday, food was being served which looked all good but didn't try this time, over all a small little family friendly pub and I will be back again on my next visit to silloth.

This is a down to earth pub serving decent pub grub and real ale at sensible prices, it is however let down by the foul language of the clientele & the apparent reluctance of the owners/management to control it.

A lovely welcome of the staff, very friendly the food was delicious we are now making it our local for our night out they also have music nights, also starting doing lunch time meals which are very good, not expensive

Four of us had an evening meal on Sunday. The dining room was quiet and quirky, the landlord very friendly. The menu was reasonably priced, the food tasty although the portions weren't huge (perhaps reflecting the price paid). The pub also had an excellent pint of real ale. We'd go back. Note that the pub doesn't do food on Monday evenings in the quiet season.

My wife and I were staying in holiday accommodation in Siloth, called in for a pint and evening meal in the beer garden. I went into the bar (only room other than restaurant) to order food. The foul language coming from the clientele was disgusting but apparently normal as the bar person did not challenge anyone. My wife and I went to the restaurant the food portions where good the food was passable, chips were undercooked the peas were cheap and nasty however it was not overpriced so I suppose acceptable. Not a place we would return to due to the foul abusive aggressive and unacceptable language that remained unchallenged throughout our meal, even when families with children came into the restaurant staff did not challenge or ask their clientele to stop.

Wow how abrupt was blonde women behind the bar. Never really held back on showing us she wasn't happy as we where last reservation. Food was not cooked enough n warm. No offer of more drink or dessert. Asked for water no option just got tap.

Amazing food, lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Responsible price. Ny steak was cooked beautifully and the mixed grill is very good. We would return.

The food was really good. Something for everyone. It was very busy every night. The hospitality was lovely and the prices very reasonable . Would definitely reccomend

Staff where great food to much had to take home as we could not Finnish it the bar was very friendly I would definitely go back again with my family the food was hat and very good it’s a ten out of ten from me

Visited for Sunday lunch with friends we were staying at Stanwix caravan park.. staff rude made to feel very unwelcome food poor a dump really would not recommend

Would not recommend the Cumberland , we had Sunday lunch , no other option of menu . The mash was lumpy veg soggy and the staff were rude and unfriendly, we were a family of 4 and another couple . The bar was dirty and toilets even worse , beer garden, alot to be desired

I wouldn’t not recommend here to anyone. The place was dull, full of flies, not clean and the toilets a whole other level of disgusting. 4 of our drinks had green slime & black floaters floating in them. We left before we even ate the food. Disgusting.

I rang and ordered our Sundays dinners to takeaway. We ordered a roast beef and a roast turkey dinner and was told to pick it up 20mins later. When I arrived the gentleman behind the was very welcoming and friendly. Once I paid either cash or card, I was promptly served by the waitress. The food was piping hot and fresh. They were good portions and plenty of meat. Would highly recommend trying as it was great value for money.

Great little place to eat, the food is amazing and the people are so friendly. We all had a fantastic time and can't wait to come back 🥰

Due to us being booked int o a local campsite that claimed to be dog friendly but wasn't we spent a lot of time and money in here. It wasn't the cheapest bar we visited and the choice of beer was limited but the food was wonderful and this was reasobaly priced, when I say not the cheapest ,it was cheap by average (£8 for a large wine and a pint of ale) While there we had the fish and chips,lovely HAlf chicken and chips, very tasty and a double burger and bacon with chips, very good value.

Stunning Food. Real home cooked food with generous portions! The mixed grill was a real delight. Staff are brilliant. Would visit again if in the area!

A group of seven of us had our evening meal at the Cumberland on our recent Hadrian’s Cycleway trip. Great food - especially the fresh fish and chips, very reasonably priced drinks and excellent, friendly service. Highly recommended.

Came here tonight with family what a lovely friendly pub. Food was fresh, homemade,hot and gorgeous. Ordered dessert and all 4 came out homemade and delicious. Steak pie was scrumptious and mandarin cheesecake was to die for. Definitely be coming back

Very nice pub with pool table and separate dining area. Steak pie and chips was delicious and kids meal was good too. 1 very nice real ale on tap. Friendly and very efficient service. Also has a nice beer garden. Overall great value for money.

From the outside this pub looks like 1000s of others. Inside the decor is olde but don't let that fool you. Whilst it is only pub food, it doesn't pretend to be anything else & is very tasty. The choices are varied from your basics,...

Very good pub with a nice sociable local atmosphere. We ate there every night and the food was excellent, no frills just tasty reasonably priced food. It was dog friendly also.

This is a very quirkly place. You walk through a bar into the dining room which feels like someone's front room. The owner could not have been friendlier. Drinks came very quickly. We had fish and chips and steak pie and chips. I can honestly...

Called "on spec" Table for 4 was no problems Not the ritz but spotlessly clean with friendly staf 4 drinks 4 mains 3 puddings £50 Highly recommend the fish n chips

This wee pub is very friendly. It is not the cleanest and could do with some improvements. It had a strong smell of cigarette smoke which nearly put us off but we are glad we stayed. The food was amazing. Good pub grub! The home...

We went as a family of 6 for dinner and have to say all 6 of us thoroughly enjoyed dinner and the desert section. Staff were very friendly and very attentive. Would highly recommend and reasonable priced definitely give it a go if your in...

Staff friendly, food was really nice. Not the cleanest restaurant we’ve eatn at however which is a right deal breaker for us especially on the current climate. Dirty table covers and place mats, glad I had wipes in my bag. Inexpensive meal, sadly wouldn’t return

Generous portions, home cooked Sunday lunch, 3 courses at an absolute steal of a price! Highly recommend this little gem 💎

A well done treat is how I’d describe my visit here. I said well done as apposed to rare as seemed more fitting. I wasn’t expecting much and I would have been happy with that! However the menu is not only wonderfully simple, it’s wonderfully...

Someone else has described the food as simple but tasty pub grub and that is spot on. On the day we visited there was steak pie on the menu - a delicious, suety pastry stuffted with meat. This is a steak pie that punches serisouly...

Staying nearby and needed so something for a meal out, this was the closest place. The food was excellent, simple but tatsy pub grub and amazing chips. The prices were even better! Fully recommend visiting here for some drinks and food.
