Ennerdale Brewery, Tap and Bistro in Copeland

A really great place to visit for food and drinks with friends. The menu is extensive and reasonable priced. Food quality is excellent and we love sampling the local beers made at the brewery on site. Highly recommended.

Great food and steak cooked to perfection, blue cheese sauce was fantastic. All freshly made on the premises and beers were pretty good too.

Great pints, average food, lovely staff. Their own beer and ale is great, a lovely pint. The food I thought was very average. A lot of deep fried bought in stuff. Not terrible by any means but not great, cheap enough. The staff are all lovely, helpful and friendly. Weird industrial estate lunch room vibes.

Once again we had a great Sunday lunch here today

Always great food, beer and reasonably priced. A favourite and a pleasure every time.

Food and staff so so lovely and welcoming. And great with babies !!!!

The food was absolutely amazing so werd the staff.

Absolutely brilliant little local bar and restaurant. The food is lovely, beers are great, staff are helpful and friendly. Pity we're off otherwise we'd be back many times!

Friendly very helpful staff always very pleasant and happy to accommodate your needs

Food portions of the mains were huge, washed down with a blonde beer brewed on site.

We went yesterday for Sunday lunch and was disappointed to be honest, nothing special!! Cauliflower was hard I couldn’t cut it and parsnips burnt to a crisp I didn’t recognise what they actually were, we should have been honest when asked if everything was ok but who does 🤷🏽‍♀️ staff great tho

Got taken there by my two friends for an evening meal. Mine came covered in gravy which I do not like. The waiter informed me it said on the menu with gravy. Had to use some of my chips as a damn. Checked the menu after the meal and no gravy was on it, did get an apology which was to late as I was made to feel I couldn't read a menu in the first place, they were kind enough not to charge my friend for my meal.

Update to my previous review (below). Visited this restaurant with neighbours a couple of days ago. Another excellent lunch, great service and atmosphere. I look forward to visiting this place again in the near future. Previous review: Excellent. Friendly staff, good food, great beer.

We booked a meal for two for our wedding anniversary but we're very disappointed, we have been before about 5 times and the food was excellent, but this time my wife had scampi that were hard as rock and chips that we think we no edeble, my food was cumberland sausage grill, the sausage was hard as rocks and the onion rings full of fat the chips again unederbal, we told the girl when we paid our bill ,we will not be back for another meal ever.. The staff front of house were very good. They must have changed the chef since our last meal.

Great food , good service, easy access for disabled 👍..and dog friendly...will definitely go again 😊.

Sunday lunch, ordered steak & ale pie and wife had Garlic Salmon. One of the best pies I have had (tender beef and plenty of filling). Portions were great and plenty of veggies. I had the 3 half-pint flyer to taste some of their beers, which were very good (Darkest is very nice). The missus wanted the Sunday roast, but without reservation there was no Yorkshire pudding, so went for the salmon.

Excellent time at enerdale brewery lastnight for my dads 80th birthday. All meals and staff were perfect.

Great place to call in and have lunch. The team are super friendly, the beer super drinkable and the food is well priced. The place has a bar and a shop to bug beer to take home! What's not to love!

The food was very bland. The meat salad is some vegetables served with 3 slabs of meat which were dry. The burger was ok, but the chips and onion rings were tasteless and missing flavour. The staff were nice.

Great food, Fantastic beers, All reasonably priced. Dog friendly ( most important) Wonderful staff.

Amazing food and coffee but a bit pricey to go too often, but as a treat 100% worth it

Always good food and good beer, the manager is very friendly and great service! One of the best places about!

A family ( and dog) friendly bistro with good food and craft beers brewed on site. It was full at 12 o click so would advise booking.

Had great Sunday lunch, 3 pies and a roast super. Staff really helpful Sat outside for a nice pint after

Fabulous. Really friendly, eight of their own beers on tap and very good, hearty food.

Food was dam near perfect the staff friendly and efficient. And a lovely atmosphere.

I just visited last night with 11 of my colleagues. We were due to go karting at the local rowrah track but had it cancelled at the last minute due to inclement weather. We decided to go to the brewery early as we had a meal booked for later that afternoon. We arrived and explained our situation and the kind folks at the brewery accommodated us by bringing our meal forward so we could eat in half the time we should have waited. The food is excellent as is the service.we would fully recommend a visit.

Got to say I'm impressed this was spot on ..we had a fabulous night to a special occasion

Thank you everyone for the great meals 4 of us had tonight. The food and the service was perfect. Each of us thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you again.

Highly recommend going 😃 such lovely staff, delicious well presented food, great atmosphere. Doggies welcomed too, bonus 😁

Turned up with a few friends about 20 minutes before closing on a Friday night, we were refused service and turned away, despite the place having other customers there.

Fantastic service, food & atmosphere will definitely be back 🤩 Ordered Huntmans Pie, Oven baked Salmon with King Prawns, Salted caramel profiteroles & Biscoff Apple pie... absolutely delicious 😋 👍

Excellent food and service in nice surroundings. The outside needs a bit of tidying up, ie the car park has a big pothole in it and there's wooden pallets and Heras fencing lying around.

Friendly service . Managed to fit us in to bar area when super busy. Great pie & mash

Staff are ok but still waiting for the tartare sauce my son asked for, she simply forgot. Food was less than impressive my son had fish and chips and said it was less than adequate I had a burger which was poor, if you can’t serve Cole slaw without leaving three inch chunks of cabbage in there then I’d suggest you don’t call yourself a bistro. Would not visit again

Local brewery based near Ennerdale Bridge. The feel of the place has been really well done by the owners. The main building is split into two, 1 side is a restaurant and the other side has been decorated to look like a pub which has a bar serving its onsite made beer. I personally can't comment on the food, having looked at the prices and the food being carried out, then I'd say it looked good, and good value. We did have a few drinks though...lovely sofas and you do feel like you're in a different building from the restaurant area, which is cosy. Being the home of this brand of beer, you may expect to pay a higher price...but no. At the time of this review, the pints were roughly £3.70, bottles were £2.95 and you could purchase multiple with a discount on packs of 6/12. Very good value from a small local brewery, they do supply a number of pubs and the YHAs near by, lovely beer, the honeycomb a personal fav.

Popped in on a busy Sunday lunch. Welcoming and dog friendly. Had an enormous portion of gorgeous Steak and Ale pie with mash and veg and a cheeky half of Honeycomb.

Excellent food, lovely venue and friendly attentive service - faultless!

Well worth a visit great food and drink can't recommend enough brossen

Great set up indoor and outdoor. Dog friendly. Friendly staff. Great choice of beers on tap. Great food - we had rustic pizzas which were delicious. Sensibly priced beer for a change. Highly recommended place to visit.

Plenty of parking and seating inside. Outside seating as well. Great beers

Great for everyone theve got it covered

Great food lovely staff .Best cheesecake I've ever tasted .

Delicious food, super nice people

A wonderful place all round..food fantastic beer superb great atmosphere we are all coming back...

Food and service absolutely brilliant. Excellent value for money considering the quality of the produce and cooking. I will definitely return.

Fantastic food and great set up. Just a 2 minute drive from Ennerdale Water. What better way to wrap up a long lake walk than a good pint and cracking food.

What a suprise. The outside did not hint at the great food and friendly vibrant atmosphere. Service brilliant, food great and the only problem was that they ran out of the interesting pie i would have choosen. The beef and ale pie was a very good substitute tho'!

Amazing find, as was on bus journey, for Leyland National Event in Whitehaven, food and drinks amazing

Nice atmosphere, really good food and plenty of it, the staff waiting on where very friendly and professional I would highly recommend visiting this quaint and friendly restaurant

Had a sizzler very very good!!!

Best sunday lunch around and one of the cheapest too. Waiting on staff could have been a little more organised we had to ask for a for order to be taken etc but they were very polite and well presented when they did.

We went today for a family meal for my 50th birthday. Fantastic staff, very helpful and friendly. Table was great and plenty of space between us and other tables. Food was exceptional, everything was cooked to perfection. Meat melted in the mouth and veg was perfect. Good sized portions and plenty of veg for everyone. Happy customers 😀 we will be back. Thank you for giving me a great birthday xx

Just perfect Excellent food Amazing location and if you want a beernits beautiful

I wish I had the small portion of steak pie it was delicious and so was the veg

Reasonably priced food which was delicious and excellent service

Great service lovely meal , what more can you ask for.keep up the good work.

Visited for a family get together. Small, friendly atmosphere, good food and ale. They have their beer available to buy in bottles too. Only thing they need is more than one single toilet / baby change; if you get a few people in then you get a bit of queueing up and hopping from foot to foot!

Awesome night, top staff, great food... what more can be said, twelve happy blokes

Brilliant surprise birthday meal absolutely gorgeous food loved every minute of it .

Visited on a Thursday evening with no booking. All the tables were fully booked but staff offered to accommodate us on one of the sofas with a coffee table. We were tired and hungry and it was a wet windy night so we went for it. Ordered scampi and chips and a classic burger - food arrived quickly and it was fabulous. Huge plates, absolutely delicious and I think there were more pieces of scampi than chips on my plate. Went away full and very very happy - we were so impressed with the value and that they accommodated us when they were fully booked up. Highly recommended.

Lovely locally sourced food. Very friendly staff and relaxed atmosphere. Very good pint

We had a fantastic meal out as a family. Service was brilliant and the food was delicious. Great that we were able to bring our dog in with us. We came home with plenty of bottles of beer. Need a trip back to buy some more!

First time here as on a hiking holiday, we chose here as it was showing 4.8 and had many good reviews, we were disappointed. The restaurant was empty we were the only guests here and when we asked for a table the host said they were reserved and said all the tables were until 5:30pm.but then back tracked and said you can have for an hour and half. The food was bland the curry had no chick peas in it, cauliflower was overcooked, veg lasagne was ok. Also which is important it was dirty, food on the floor and it was sticky including the tables. Disappointed 😞

Great food and service, didn't have to wait long for anything.

Lovely food. Didn't have any beer this time but have had before so I can tell you they're good.

Brilliant place to eat! Very welcoming, dog friendly and lovely food 😋

Had a lovely meal tonight. Very friendly staff, excellent, well priced food and good beer. What's not to like?

Easy to book, polite knowledgeable staff, lovely food.

Exceptional service! Just a lovely place to eat delicious well cooked food and drink a refreshing pint! Everything was great 👍 Thanks so much!

Beautiful Sunday lunch...lovely selection of veg ...excellent roast beef and generous portions all at a good price. Couldn't fault our lunch today it was well worth 5*. Good service as well... very pleasant waitress....well be back. Recommended.

Food excellent 11 out 10 staff FAB, very friendly can't do enough for you, the brewery is lovely, LOVE IT ❤

Lovely food, nice staff, Severn bridges nice pint

Lovely food, great service and happy to be supporting a fab local business. The beers are great!

Me and the family have been to the Brewery Tap for our evening meal it was very nice the staff were very nice there is a nice ambiance we will be coming back in the near future

Excellent food served by excellent staff

As a regular visitor to the Brewery I've never been disappointed. Food and beer are brilliant. Especially as they brew their own beers.

First time here . Very busy Sunday lunchtime, did not book so, no tables left. However staff obliging and said we could eat in the bar area. Not terribly comfortable for eating, stool too high,and sofa's a bit too low. The food was lovely and we will return only we'll book next time!!

Steak & ennerdale ale pie 🥧 was so nice I olny add a small but it was very filling couldn't eat it all up and the pub decorations like 1940s wood beer barrels for tables and lots of vintage items to look at so happy to see it's well look after and the staff was nice people it's is a really nice place .. so I could give this place 💯 % you should go and give it a try I promise it will not let you down

Awesome place, Excellent staff Excellent food Excellent beer Staff couldn't do enough for us 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

My first time here (won't be my last) and I'm very impressed. Inside has a really relaxed feel about it with plenty of seating including comfy sofas etc. The ales I had were spot on as you would expect and there are plenty of other beers and wines for the non-ale drinkers. The food looked amazing although I didn't eat on this occasion but will definitely on a future visit. Thoroughly recommended.

Great food and lovely staff will definitely be back 😊

Massive thanks to the staff for having our large group for breakfast this Sunday morning at quite late notice. Really flexible with late change of numbers and organised with getting our orders ready so fast! Delicious food and friendly service :)

Spot on for a burger, chips and a proper nice beer after a hike. Staff is lush too

My second visit tonight. Five gold stars isn't enough for this amazing place. Compliments to the chef again. All our meals were out of this world. The waitresses/waiter were brilliant. The meals were all out on time,and together. I cannot find anything to moan about. So again a big Thankyou to you all for an amazing night. We will all certainly be back,and strongly recommend you. 👌

Good food and good prices with a great selection of beers brewed on sight. Helpful staff but it can get busy so I'd suggest booking ahead

Great place friendly staff and the food is always excellent had a make over since the last time we were there and its very comfortable job well done would recommend it to all my friends.

Always great food and fine ales 👍

Fantastic meal lovely friendly service and stayed on after meal for drinks, would highly recommend

Great little place with home cooked food, great range of craft beers and a good ambience. Outside seating available too.

A brewery tap and bistro with good beer and food.

Great food and awesome beer. Very well priced. A bit of the beaten track, but perfect spot to recharge after exploring the west side of the Lakes.

Fantastic meal and fantastic staff

Great beers, excellent food (large portions) and friendly staff. What more could you want?

Lovely night with my family. Great atmosphere, friendly staff, excellent ales & very tasty food cooked to perfection. Came away with a box of ales too. Highly recommend you try this place.

Staff were really friendly but food was nothing to write home about and actually not many beers to chose from despite being a brewery taproom? Had more of a family pub feel about it. It's perfectly fine but certainly not 5 star like most the reviews.

Excellent Brewery Tour thanks to Barrie and Takeaway Pizzas.

Beautiful food. Lovely decoration, very polite and helpful staff

A little place we never knew existed! Lovely layout great decor and some amazing in brewed drinks on choice! We had a Sunday roast and I we couldn't fault one thing we had. Great prices and the food was amazing. All the staff are really friendly and go out of there way to make you feel welcome. Would highly recommend 👌

My first visit, it was very good the food was excellent, and the staff were great ,I will be returning next time we are up here racing 👍💯🏁
