Flavour in Allerdale

Very nice little tapas bar/restaurant in the heart of Workington. The food is lovely, we particularly liked the sticky rice with coconut. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. There were not many food establishments open on a Thursday but these guys were, and reasonably busy too. My husband particularly liked the atmosphere of the restaurant. Will be back.

Our date night choice didn’t disappoint food great service fab!

Absolutely amazing place, food was super delicious, full of flavours 😊🤩 thank you 🤩

Fantastic food, best I've had for ages.

Amazing food and service as always. Can't wait to come back. Lovely surroundings. It really is the best restaurant in west Cumbria

Our favourite place to eat in Workington by a country mile. Just lovely.

Excellent food and great service

Always delicious food and cocktails 🍸 😋

Being local we love Flavour and eat here regularly. As a tapas bar with lots of choice every visit is different. We have never ordered a dish we didn't enjoy. Also great cocktails/mocktails and wide drinks choice. I also love that everything is so environmentally friendly. No plastic. Cosy surroundings and kept very clean. All of the staff are great. Very friendly and helpful. We love the manageress who does a brilliant job. We recommend the mango & halloumi curry, surf n turf, lamb burgers but so many more. Actually anything you pick will be great I am not related to anyone who works here. Genuine review for a place highly recommended. You will not be disappointed.

Nicely furnished tent. Surprisingly good food, really different from English fare. Recommended. Decoration also super nice

Delicious food and fantastic service.

Can’t fault it. Food was lovely, fresh and vibrant. Staff were incredibly attentive and friendly. Be straight back as soon as we are back up north.

Wonderful Food fresh a vibrant Staff were lovely Be straight back when we are next up north

Friendly and attentive staff, plentiful choice, will return to try some of the other dishes. Nice atmosphere and loved the decor

Once again a fabulous meal at Flavour, great menu, so much choice, lots on the specials menu as well, the restaurant was busy, but the food came really quick and the girls waiting on were pleasant and helpful as usual, the halloumi and mango curry was amazing and the salt and pepper steak with crispy potatoes was beautiful, looking forward to going back.

Fabulous food at Flavour tonight, great menu and specials, food was truly lovely, served quickly and didn’t wait long for our food. The girls waiting on were friendly and helpful, my cocktail was lush, can’t wait to go back.

The food is fantastic, can see why they call the restaurant Flavour, five different dishes and every dish was superb. Good atmosphere, friendly staff, highly recommend 👌

Absolutely beautiful food, staff couldn't be more helpful

Amazing food and service as always. Can't wait to come back. Lovely surroundings. It really is the best restaurant in west Cumbria

Amazing food great service would highly recommend it. The staff were really helpful and was able to guide us through the menu to support our dietary requirements.

The food was great, for tapas they are larger plates as advertised. Plenty of food.

Delicious dinner with my colleague! Normally we eat across the street at the hotel, but after a few days you get tired of that. The staff at Flavor is great, we will definitely come back!

Well, all I can say is some of the best food I've eaten in a while, absolutely fantastic. Working away from home can be a chore at times, but finding a place that serves food this good is a god send.

Can’t recommend this restaurant highly enough. Great decor, great food and friendly staff. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

Wow! Amazing staff and amazing food! Such a shame you are not closer to home.

First time visiting this restaurant as was recommended by a friend - and what a superb experience! We were late getting there due to a traffic accident. We rang and explained this to the restaurant, they were so accommodating and understanding about this, so needless to say the staff were excellent, friendly and helpful. There was a good choice of food, and everything we ate was so delicious. If you’ve not been. You must!

Another beautiful meal thanks to girls working tonight. See you in 4 weeks. Can't wait!!

Amazing tasting food. Lovely staff. Would definitely recommend this restaurant.

Absolutely gorgeous food definitely going back

Everything perfect slightly more expensive than i thought but worth it

Fabulous food, drinks, atmosphere and the customer service is outstanding. Nothing is too much trouble.

Absolutely amazing as always. Great staff and service. Not a single complaint from 6 of us

Great tapas style restaurant in Workington with a varied menu. Really friendly and helpful staff managed to fit us in as we just turned up on a Wednesday night. Quirky decor adds to the atmosphere and character of the place. Food was delicious and really well prepared.

Food was amazing, friendly staff who you could have a laugh with, service was brilliant

All in impressed nice tasty meal

Phenominal food, friendly, attentive staff and a lovely atmosphere. 12/10 👌

We visited here on a family special occasion as per usual - food was fantastic and service matched. Not sure why I don’t leave more reviews of this place as the quality is always the same. My daughter Robyn could not survive without the place.

I hadn't been to Workington before and boke this blind for myself and 24 colleges based on the reviews. The food and hospitality was excellent and could find no fault what so ever. There was not a single negative from my group, which given the size of our booking is almost unheard of. I would not hesitate to book this aging for either a large party or a more intimate couples night. We were there for a few day's and can honestly say this is by the far the best place by far to eat at in Workington !

I have always liked flavour, the ambience is nice and the staff are wonderful. I have to write a review however, as I feel like constructive criticism is important. On the menu is state's that their portion sizes are larger than the average tapas, so when I ordered a chicken skewer for £9 I assumed it would be a large one that could be shared (the whole idea of tapas is to socially share your various plates of food). When it arrived I was shocked. It was no bigger than a skewer you would get on a Chinese buffet. Although tasty, I couldn't help feel like the cost was excessive and made me feel a bit ripped off! The other dish I ordered was the prawns, steak and chorizo. Again, I didn't question the price as the ingredients to that dish are probably expensive. However, the 3 steak bites on the dish were inedible, they were well over cooked and tough. I do not begrudge paying high prices for a meal that is worth it but what I had was simply not worth the price that was charged. All in all I was very dissapointed and will have to think twice to whether I visit again in the future. It seems to be always busy and very popular but now I can't help feel this it is probably a lot to do with the lack of restraunts in Workington Town centre.

We have driven past this restaurant for years, it looks like the type of place you see abroad, what have we been missing all these years!!!! We booked a table for early Friday , had the Tapas style meal ( it wasn’t Purely Spainish food but a variation). The waitresses were excellent, very friendly and served some great cocktails! Food was excellent!!!! We will be back!

We visited Flavour after booking a last minute room in the area, having never been to Workington before, and I can honestly say we were absolutely blown away by the food and service. What a great find! Genuinely the best tapas I have ever had - and I’ve had a lot of tapas!! A great menu with fantastic variety that’s just a bit different to anywhere else I’ve been.

I can see why this is the top rated place to eat in Workington. I was looked after from the moment I stepped in, and the food was really good too. A virgin blueberry mojito, salt and pepper tempura chicken, and dirty boy crispy potatoes...

Fantastic food, staff and over all atmosphere. Our first visit, won’t be our last. The food was absolute perfection, good choice of cocktails too!

Great food, friendly staff and a great atmosphere. Well worth a visit if you are in the area, you won't be disappointed..

Lovely night celebrating a friends 30th. First time visiting and will definitely be back! Staff are so lovely, are genuinely interested about your visit and food was fabulous, couldn't of asked for anything more. Thank you Flavour!

Not well cooked not so tasty and not worth for money especially the lamb biryani

Absolutely fabulous food, great decor, ambience and service. Loved it!

The food quality was excellent and the service was very good. HOWEVER the portions of food were very small and we feel it was very overpriced. As recommended by the staff we both had two mains and a side but we were left still hungry...

Beautiful food and friendly staff! Will definitely be back soon!

Great night food fantastic but mix up for my 60th birthday and my friends disappointed as asked for balloon etc . would still go back as mistakes happen and the food was fantastic x

I visited here with some work friends last night, 9th September. The food is fantastic, the waiting on staff were second to none, they cannot do enough for you especially the younger staff. They are a credit to the restaurant. Great food, reasonably priced, lovely...

Brilliant food. Lovely staff. Definitely recommend it.

Lovely food very friendly and efficient staff 10 out of 10

Finally made it back to Flavour after the pandemic! It was lovely to be warmly welcomed back and the food was simply fantasic.

Deserves more than 5 stars! Fantastic food, excellent service, and with an amazing atmosphere, will definitely be visiting again soon even though we live an hours drive away

Flavour - because thats exactly what you get in abundance in this place! Unreal dishes, phenomenal chef, drinks are lush but the food - you have to try it to believe it. You cannot possibly be disappointed! Very very well done Flavour. You've done it again!!!

We were in Workington for other exciting events and were recommended by our host that a night's dinner at Flavour was a "must". We came, saw, ate and were merry. If you are in Workington. Visit Flavour. You won't be disappointed.

Good scran. A must if you are in the vicinity.

We had an outstanding meal at Flavour when visiting Workington for the weekend to go to Lakes Escapes escape room. Everything was outstanding including the food, the cocktails and the service. We were made very welcome and we had a great evening. If I was...

4 of us went, 9 different dishes, 4 different sides and each as spectacular as the each other. If you have food allergies, they will go out of their way to accommodate whatever they can for you. Absolutely fantastic service, well priced, very good sized portions for tapas and now a place I will be going very regularly. Couldn't have asked for more. Oh and they've some great drinks as well

Beautiful food , staff very polite and efficient, served quickly too .

My favourite place for food - highly recommended.

Great food, nice ambience, wonderful staff who catered for my lactose intolerance without hesitation!

Second time visiting whilst away with work. Superb food, wonderful attentive staff who catered for my lactose intolerance no problem at all. Top notch !

Amazing food and very helpful staff . Best meal I've had in a long time !! Beautiful cocktails aswell .

Great service, attending staff, great food and drink options, fair priced. A little jewel, can’t wait to go back.

Small and fantastic, really excellent quality and very good choice. Decent on price too, very friendly and chatty staff. Which gives a welcoming atmosphere. Overall makes a pleasant evening out, definitely recommend.

When Flavour reopened in 2021 we have been a few times. The food we have ordered has been consistently lovely, chorizo and black pudding, crispy beef etc. Service is great and it’s a lovely atmosphere as well. Please try the cocktails.

Fantastic food and fantastic staff. Will be back soon.

Lovely tasty food, friendly staff and good service too. We are lucky to have this in Workington. Good selection of foods plenty of choice. Very very busy.

Amazing food, great atmosphere and very attentive staff. Will definitely be back

Visited Flavour this past Saturday. Excellent meal/wine and the staff were very on the ball. Helpful without being intrusive. Had 5 tapas size dishes between 2 of us and then shared a dessert. Will definitely go back when in the area again.

We were on a short break and visited Flavour. It was great. Food was excellent and the staff were really friendly. Really is worth a visit.

Fantastic food and service. I was on crutches due to an injury and they were so accommodating.

Beautiful food staff AMAZING thoroughly enjoyed it

This is a nice place, very tidy and helpful smiley staff. Great food portions bit on the small size. However we enjoyed it

The most amazing food and service well done you can't get any better loved it the new decor is lush

The best food I have eat in 12 months from a takeaway amazing!

Was lucky enough to bag a takeaway slot for valentines day, top quality food, generous portions of tapas, absolutely stuffed! Will definitely be ordering again. The special xc loaded fries with gravy were amazing! Thank you very much.

Once again you didnt let us down. Our food was lovely. Will deffinately be back.

My partner and I ate here as we were staying in the area. Felt very safe with Covid measures in place. Ordered a selection of dishes which were all delicious. Reasonably priced and staff were very helpful and polite. Really enjoyed our evening

Fabulous food in a ‘Covid’ safe environment. The staff are so friendly & helpful. On this visit we really felt that things were getting back to as near normal as it could be. Some good tapas choices on the menu, just difficult to pick which!

Expensive but nice food. Bottled beer too warm too small and expensive, we were told no beer on draft since covid which was disappointing. Staff lovely, the place is nicely decorated. Got 8 different things and 4 beers £80, 2 of us ate and came out comfortably full without being stuffed.

Great tapas bar food and service excellent

Have wanted to try this tapas bar for long time it will not be a long time til I try it again absolutely brilliant food and service

Great food, friendly staff and doing a wonderful job during Covid. Still my favourite restaurant in Workington.

Fabulous little eaterie, very attentive staff and a credit to Workington. Wonderful to see it open again and I would highly recommend a visit.

Nice to see some good vegan options in West Cumbria for a change . Normally have to travel to Carlisle to get any decent vegan food . Was perfect. 10/10

Really friendly service whilst on the phone and collecting takeaway. Amazing food - every dish was so tasty and the takeaway menu is really varied with lots of different dishes to choose from with great choices for veggies or pescatarians. It’s also really great to see that each dish was packaged in eco friendly boxes - not multiple plastic tubs like many many takeaways. Will definitely be ordering again soon!

Wow, where do I start, excellent covid secure procedures, we felt really safe...... The Menu offered a good choice including veggie and vegan,. The service was warm and friendly. Food arrived quickly, was very well presented and tasted absolutely fantastic, the service backed it up and the Irish coffees were the best we'd had in a long time.Keep doing what you are doing as you do it so well, thank you for a great last night in the area.........., our only complaint is......... We wish we had found you earlier in our visit so we could of visited you more.Many thanks Paul and Lisa

We were excited to visit Flavour after reading positive reviews. We had 2 vegans with us. There were good Covid measures in place and the staff were friendly and efficient. I’m sorry to say, in our view, the food was overpriced and underwhelming. The best dish we had was King Prawn and halloumi mango curry. I know the portion sizes were bigger than standard tapas, but I’m afraid charging £7.95 for hummus and pitta chips is excessive. Probably the worst dish was the vegan blackberry crumble; £7.20 for a dish of crumble mix (not all of it even baked) with a tiny amount of what looked like blackberry jam swirled through it. There wasn’t a single piece of fruit resembling a real blackberry. It was the worst crumble I’ve ever had and was so overpriced. The Lake District has a reputation for being expensive (captive audience, maybe?), but this was the most disappointing meal I’ve had in a long time.

Great food and very friendly staff. Each of the tapas we ordered was delicious and full of flavour. Definitely recommend, and would go back.

Great tapas. Good selection of choices, including for vegetarians. The portion size is bigger than normal tapas, which is a good thing for us! The service was excellent and they had Covid measures all in place.

Warm welcome, friendly and attentive staff, amazing food. Really enjoyed our evening. Heartily recommended.

Excellent evening spent, great food and drinks. Will definitely be back soon.

Amazing dont stop doing collections plz

The atmosphere and vibe of this restaurant stands out from others nearby! When you're inside it feels like you're in a city restaurant. The menu was nice and varied. Great addition of a vegan menu which has meatless chicken and pulled pork tapas. Such a great niche to cater towards and a pleasant surprise when scouring the menu. Staff are lovely and super friendly!

The food is tasty and varied. The service is excellent. We have visited a few times now and enjoyed the experience every time.

Good choices. Polite staff. Nice atmosphere.

Absolutely amazing place. The best meal we've had out in a very long time! So much to chose from on the menu and everything explained clearly. We found it hard to pick as it all sounded great.The food came quickly and every dish was so tasty. You can tell the quality of the ingredients and it is all so flavoursome.The steak bites are a must!!!This really is a fantastic restaurant with funky decor, friendly, helpful staff and incredibly delicious food.We will definitely be going back.Wish I'd taken better pics as you can't appreciate how nice it was from my photos!!
