Fredericks in Allerdale

My wife and I went for a trip to Lowther Castle and Gardens with the in-laws, and after such awful weather we decided to travel to Cockermouth to treat ourselves to the excellent Fredricks which we've visited many times before. We started with the seafood platter / selection with a portion of chips for the young one. It's a great selection of items for fish lovers! After, we ordered some lovely main dishes, enough for 3 adults and 2 kids (1 kids meal of pizza and chips!) Lovely meal to end of evening. Will be back when next in the area.

Fantastic place, staff were very friendly, food was tasty and plenty of choices. Cocktails are great too! Highly recommend and will come back again.

Excellent food and service. Have been twice in a week. Both meals were delicious. Service was good. Highly recommended

Absolutely amazing place to visit. The food and service were exceptional. The portions are a good size and the service was just lovely. We could not fault it at all. A lovely end to a stay in the Lakes.

We were apprehensive about dining here after reading mixed reviews but we could not fault any of our meals. We arrived a bit early so sat at the bar and had a few of the cocktails off the menu, there are plenty to choose from! We were seated in the back dining area which was very nice. We all had a starter and main and couldn’t fault anything, we really enjoyed all the food. There wasn’t a long wait for the food either and the waiting staff were really helpful and attentive. If we ever came back to Cockermouth we would definitely eat here!

Delicious cocktails before we went out for dinner. The bar area is really nice. We didn't get back to try the food during our visit but next year we will return and try it again

My wife and I attended one evening. We had booked the day before online and then were called on the day around lunchtime by the restaurant asking us if we knew about the pre ordering - we did and I promised to email by 3pm that day.The restaurant itself was beautifully decorated when we arrived with lovely Christmas decorations and the welcome was warm. They are strict with the Covid rules which was great to see!. Cocktails were very pleasant and the food was brilliant. We had sharing tapas - the highlights were the Sweetcorn Arancini & the Duck Spring rolls. Service great and excellent value. I hope Fredericks can survive the current economic difficulties and make it through to the other end - it deserves to! Thankyou.

Lovely food - only get one bread basket starter though, they're share baskets and we hadn't realised this so ended up with two loaves of bread between us! Nice environment, staff are lovely and attentive - Nicky the waiter is fantastic, great personality! The cheesecake this week was chocolate orange and was delicious, will definitely be back

La mejor manera de revisar esto es compartir un correo electrónico enviado al restaurante tan pronto como lleguemos a casa. . . . . .Querida Kirsty y todo tu equipo,Muchas gracias por la comida maravillosa, el excelente servicio al cliente y la cálida bienvenida que recibimos en nuestra visita esta noche.

Qué gran elección resultó ser.Desde la llamada inicial para reservar, pasando por las confirmaciones por correo electrónico, hasta el excelente servicio de recepción que recibimos esta noche, nos sentimos como VIP.

Agregue a esto la atención a la presentación del plato digna de los más altos escalones de la buena mesa y realmente tiene una fórmula ganadora. Transmita nuestro más sincero agradecimiento a todos los miembros de su equipo responsables de hacer de esta una comida inolvidable.

Nicely laid out tables, very comfortable seating & pleasent atmosphere together with great service & Delicious food.

We took advantage of the eat out to help out but we would of happily paid full price for the top notch food and service at Fredricks 👌

Anoche tuve una comida deliciosa en Fredericks, comí el salmón cajún que estaba delicioso, mis dos amigos comieron el filete que ambos dijeron que era excelente.Nos sentimos completamente seguros y todo cumplía con las guías de COVID. El personal fue muy atento e hizo que la experiencia fuera relajada y agradable.

We will not go back now unfortunately and would not recommend anyone to go there. Such a shame as we used to really enjoy going there for a drink. It seems the new manager is very unhappy in his role.

Tuvimos una comida deliciosa en lo que sentimos que era un ambiente seguro. El personal fue amable. En esta visita tuve los medallones de cerdo y la otra mitad tenía las albóndigas picantes. Ambos disfrutamos muchísimo de la experiencia y volveremos. ¡Aún mejor fue que obtuvimos dinero!

Tuvimos una comida estupenda anoche en Fredricks. La comida era excelente y las raciones muy generosas. Comí unas deliciosas albóndigas con pasta.También debo agregar que el personal fue extremadamente amable y acogedor. El restaurante también es muy consciente de Covid y esto es reconfortante en estos tiempos difíciles.

Tuvimos una comida agradable y cócteles aquí anoche. El servicio fue bueno y el personal amable. Son muy conscientes de las nuevas normas de seguridad de Covid y se sienten seguros.Las porciones son grandes, así que lamenté mi primer plato, pero todo estaba muy sabroso.Gracias.

Otros cinco amigos y yo reservamos una mesa para mi cumpleaños aquí, ya que dos semanas antes, un grupo de seis de nosotros vinimos a Fredericks y pudimos sentarnos juntos. Pedimos comida y pedimos acompañamientos para compartir. Al llegar nos llevaron a tres mesas separadas que estaban a un metro de distancia, de las que nunca nos habían informado por teléfono. Pedí hablar con el gerente sobre esto y esperé 15 minutos (sin una bebida) en un restaurante tranquilo para que se paseara tranquilamente y me mirara como si estuviera aburrido y no quisiera estar allí. Hubiera esperado que alguien en su profesión tuviera al menos algunas habilidades sociales / de servicio al cliente, pero aparentemente no. Le pregunté por qué estábamos en tres mesas separadas, ya que no nos informamos de esto cuando llamamos para hacer la reserva original o cuando llamamos para dar un pedido anticipado, me dijo que nos habían dicho y yo le dije nuevamente que no lo habíamos hecho. Continuó discutiendo conmigo frente a un restaurante lleno sobre cómo estaba equivocado, no era exactamente el comienzo ideal para mi comida de cumpleaños. Le pregunté por qué dos semanas antes se nos permite sentarnos juntos, pero esta noche fue diferente y dijo que debido a las pautas del gobierno (estas dicen que puedes sentarte en burbujas de seis) y porque tenía miedo de que la policía lo cerrara. Le dije que si nos hubieran informado de que las mesas estaban separadas, habríamos reservado en otro lugar, a lo que respondió que deberíamos salir del restaurante. Mi amigo le dijo que hubiera sido bueno que nos hubieran avisado de antemano y que quizás una disculpa nos haría sentir mejor. Dijo que no tenía nada de qué disculparse, que tenía otros clientes y se alejó de la mesa. Habiendo trabajado en hostelería durante más de diez años, nunca habría tratado a un cliente con tan poco respeto, independientemente de mis sentimientos personales, y me habría mantenido profesional en todo momento; tal vez habría ofrecido una ronda de bebidas en la casa. Cuando salió nuestra comida, una de cada seis comidas llegó desde la cocina y el camarero, Mike, nos dijo que no sabía lo que se suponía que iba a salir. Mike se disculpó mucho por esto y fue increíble como siempre. No tuvimos ninguna disculpa del gerente en este momento una vez más. Tampoco se ofrecen bebidas ni descuentos en este momento. Luego, una de nuestras amigas se sentó con la comida enfriándose mientras el resto de nosotros esperábamos la comida. Luego salió una segunda comida y nos dijeron que el resto de la comida sería de diez minutos, por lo que estas dos personas estaban comiendo solas en dos mesas separadas. Mike nos ofreció algunos bocados. Luego, cuando salieron nuestras siguientes tres comidas, preguntamos dónde estaba la última comida, un bistec para mi amiga embarazada, esto también se había olvidado independientemente del hecho de que en este punto les habíamos mostrado nuestro pedido anticipado nuevamente. La comida es normalmente mi razón para venir aquí, pero en este punto me sentí apresurado, mi pato estaba seco y las papas no estaban cocidas. Todos mis amigos estuvieron de acuerdo en que su comida no estaba a la altura de lo normal. Fue pobre. Cuatro de nosotros desafiamos el postre a pesar de que en este punto ni siquiera sé por qué nos molestamos, estaban bien, un poco fríos. Con todo esto sucediendo, hubiera esperado que el gerente viniera nuevamente en este momento para disculparse, pero aparentemente su orgullo era más importante que la profesionalidad. Toda esta experiencia significa que nunca volveré a Fredericks, ni se lo recomendaré a un amigo. Claramente, este nuevo gerente no puede estar a la altura de la reputación de Joe. Nos hizo sentir incómodos a todos y no actuó como si se preocupara por sus clientes. A este hombre pequeño claramente no le importa su trabajo o solo le importa el dinero; de cualquier manera, le sugiero que se capacite en hotelería y administración, o que se busque un nuevo trabajo en el que no tenga que tratar con personas. El gerente de Fredericks tiene toda la gracia y el decoro de un camión volquete con marcha atrás. Qué pequeña vida tan triste Jane.

Comimos aquí como un grupo de 9. La gerencia fue muy servicial desde el principio al asegurarnos una reserva. Pedimos por adelantado antes según lo solicitado, esto fue seguido con una llamada para confirmar algunos de los platos. Cuando dos de la fiesta llegaron tarde, nuevamente el personal fue muy servicial. El servicio fue discreto y puntual y el lugar tenía un ambiente encantador. La comida estaba absolutamente deliciosa. El cordero persa, el confit de pato y el eglefino fueron solo algunos de los platos para destacar. Los postres nuevamente estaban deliciosos. En una nota separada, nuestras mesas se dividieron debido al distanciamiento social que entendimos completamente. La configuración estuvo muy bien hecha considerando todas las medidas adicionales que deben incorporarse. Mi marido comentó que los baños estaban impecables. Fredericks muy bien hecho. No dudaría en recomendar este lugar.

Came here tonight to take advantage of the Eat out scheme where you get 50% off your food. We had the hot sharing platter, the veggie sharing platter and the kids had pizzas, all dishes were really tasty and freshly cooked. With several drinks each it came to just over £50 with the discount. Decor is lovely inside and everything is nipping clean. The staff are attentive and friendly and they have absolutely nailed the social distancing arrangements. You have to order in advance so that no paper menus are required, the seating arrangements are well organised/spaced out and lots of hand sanitiser is available. Well done to the team as it's obviously been well thought out and managed without the customer noticing too much. Whenever we are back in lovely Cockermouth we will come to visit.

Lovely restaurant and tables spaced well out but not one member of staff was wearing any PPE such as a mask or visor. However service was good and food was beautiful if a little pricey. The sticky chicken was gorgeous. Staff were friendly and attentive but I would have felt happier if they were wearing masks or visors.

Having read the managers tactful response to the comments made by the party from London. We visited and were more than happy. The menu is extensive, the food excellent and the staff friendly and attentive. The manager himself was very nice and helpful. Do not be put off by the negative comments if you want super food served in pleasant surroundings with social distancing and customer safety a priority.

We have visited Fredericks on many occasion over the years. If I’m honest, it was variable. Generally food was good, but when busy the customer service was terrible. We had an extremely poor experience that made us choose alternative restaurants within town and therefore haven’t visited for a while. Since the re-opening of restaurants, due to a lack of choice, we have visited on a number of occasions and I am pleased to say the restaurant is now consistently good. The food is better than ever and the service is excellent as it’s attentive without intrusion and response time is much better than before. In summary, prices are reasonable and the food is good. Service is friendly and attentive and we won’t hesitate in coming again.

I never normally leave reviews but in this instance I felt the need to leave a review. Myself and my family travelled up from London to stay in the local area and we had eaten out several occasions over the course of the weekend. On each occasion the staff welcomed us warmly and were very friendly. The man who appeared to be the manager of this restaurant however was honestly the moodiest and most unwelcoming person I’ve ever come across in all my years and made us extremely uncomfortable throughout our meal. The rest of the staff made a decent effort which is a shame because the manager was honestly a disgrace. This guy needs to consider a career change because he shouldn’t be working in the restaurant business.

Fredricks is a lovely restaurant, very clean and well spaced out in terms of social distancing. Gorgeous food, I recommend the double chocolate brownie and sticky toffee pudding for dessert. We had really good service from all staff there, they improved our night significantly after having a bad experience at another pub down the road. Definitely going to book again and bring friends and family! ☺️

We are a couple and it was our first visit to Cockermouth. We chose this restaurant based on the reviews and it did not disappoint.We both ordered the duck spring rolls for starter and lamb for main. It was delicious.The staff were polite and attentive. We could not fault the experience.We were particularly impressed with the Covid-19 measures this restaurant is using to keep its diners safe. There are no menus to be handled, hand sanitisers and social distance.Thank you for a lovely meal, it was reasonably priced and highly recommended.

We went as a family of three for an evening meal. The staff was friendly but still trying to find their feet with the new regulations after lockdown. We booked the table by phone which was a little tricky but worked out in the end. We weren’t told that the menu was only online so had to sort that in the restaurant. But the food and service at the table was good and we enjoyed the evening.

We decided to celebrate my daughters 21st at Frederick’s as we had all been previously and therefore knew the menu and had always been very well looked after. There were 10 of us so we had been asked to give a pre-order. I had emailed to ask if we could order extras on the night also. When we arrived some of our guests were already sitting at the table so we sat down and joined them. After a good 10 mins we had to get the waiters attention to take our drinks order which wasn’t a great start. My daughter had asked for Pinot Grigio Amante Rose and when it came it was white wine not the rose. She just drank it as it seemed like a chore to have to tell them they got it wrong. Our table being right at the door was extremely draughty and very cold as every time the door opened we were almost blown off our seat. Thankfully someone closed the outer door which helped. No one asked us if we would like to order any extras and they just brought the starters quite abruptly. The main meals were all hot and we couldn’t really fault the food but the service was very slow and sporadic. My MIL asked if the puddings were big portions and the waiter said they are just alright, so she didn’t order one. A few other miscommunications were made but too trivial to mention. All in all we were disappointed with our experience at Frederick’s as we felt like we had no interaction with the staff, who seemed quite inexperienced and very young. I would have thought that they would have come over at the start of the evening.and asked us about our orders at least.

Came here with a few friends for a quiet drink mid-week, we were greeted by a man who knew so much about the extensive drinks menu and was genuinely lovely and passionate about his knowledge about the menu and made sure we had a good time. Me and my friend opted for a bottle of wine, while another friend ordered a gin under his recommendation. All night he made us feel like family, checking we were okay, enjoying our drinks and enjoying the atmosphere. We’ve been here many times, but Luke really made us feel special. Hats off to Fredricks - we had a brilliant night. Luke deserves a pay rise. X

Nice ambience, good fire, felt friendly, service good. Food was patchy, goats cheese starter felt it was frozen,heated up, but persian lamb excellent as was the main pasta and duck, Beer undrinkable. Very expensive for an evening out.

We visited fredericks at the weekend. It was really busy but the service wasn’t slow. We only had four main courses - one of us had salmon and she said it had no taste. I had fish and chips which were extremely over cooked. The chips were very greasy too. I don’t think we will rush back.

The restaurant is nice inside, it was a good atmosphere and the staff were good.The food is average at best, I had duck which was ok and my partner had a very dissapointing beef burger. It wasn't hand made and basically the same as you'd get in a Wetherspoons only about a fiver more. Going out for a meal should be a special experience, but this wasn't. I won't be going back.

Came out for my sisters 30th birthday meal on saturday the 28th of December 2019 and the service was extremely slow, couple of the waiters didn't really know what they were doing, I ordered fillet steak and first it come out with blue cheese sauce (absolutely hate blue cheese makes me sick) and I asked for peppercorn,they sorted it for me, then the steak was black and looked cremated and literally could not taste the steak at all, I told the waiter about this and he asked if I wanted him to take it back to the kitchen? Well I wasnt going to eat a cremated steak and then pay £26 for it! (This was then taken off the bill) waited about half an hour for it to be sorted, So by time my food come back everyone else had finished their food so was very awkward eating mine while everyone has finished talking and waiting for me to finish my meal, my friend also asked for a steak done medium well and it come more than rare, almost blue when she mentioned this to the waiter he said he didn't know anything about steaks and would just take it to the kitchen she didn't want a replacement, he works in a restaurant he should know and have learned about the food and about how a steak is cooked, and then to top it off another waiter kept asking us to pass him our empty plates and glasses instead of going round the table able collecting them himself as it's his job to do so.. ended up with my sister saying to us all 'come on guys let's so this guys job for him and pass him our plates' he still just stood their waiting for us to do his job.Some of this could have maybe been avoided if someone had of sent me a preorder form for the food which I was told I needed to do but I asked 3 times about it and each time I was told one would be sent to me via email and I was never sent anything, was very upset by all of this considering I had booked this month's ago to surprise my sister and even paid a deposit for our meal to have such a bad meal and experience. I've been here a few times never and never had any problems before this one, what a shame.

Booked online last minute, friendly welcome even though they were so busy and I’m not sure if my booking popped through but all staff were so friendly and accommodating. Fabulous menu and we all thoroughly enjoyed our food. Definitely go back again.

I have visited Frederick's three times since August 2019. Lovely venue and food but on each visit the room was freezing cold! On the last visit I mentioned this to one of the waiters who agreed it was cold. Totally ruined the experience.

We booked Fredericks for 7 pm so I thought it might be early and quiet. No! Place was buzzing. Cockermouth is beautiful but can be cold; inside was warm and welcoming. We ordered drinks, wine and the wonderful Loweswater Gold brewed locally. Great though I think the wine is expensive. We had the special menu, 2 courses with a christmassy feel for £17.50. This was a good choice.Sea Bass was a hit with friends, and I had the Nut Roast, which made me want to be a bit Stepford Wives:'I'll just die if I don't get that recipe!' And profiteroles. Wow.

Es genial encontrar un poco caro, no es barato, pero creo que recibes lo que pagasTeníamos 2 platos compartidosPescado uno que estaba delicioso y la inmersión que estaba bien porciones bastante pequeñas en comparación con el otroLa carne era una porción pequeña tambiénEl helado estaba bienLo que lo hizo fue el servicio y el bar era encantadorVale la pena ir a

Mi compañero y yo decidimos probar el menú CA 13. Probé el pegajoso entrante de cerdo que estaba delicioso, sin embargo, era bastante grande y abundante. Entonces opté por la fuente de vegetación, que fue una decepción. Lo encontré muy soso y aburrido y me hizo sentir pena por aquellos que en realidad son vegetarianos. En general, la comida estaba bien.

Spur of the moment decision to eat out. No problem getting a table on a Sunday evening. Not very busy. Nice welcome and service was friendly and good throughout. The seating area had a modern feel, was bright, clean and tidy, as were the toilet areas.

Was having a long needed get together with friends last Sunday and decided to go for the two course meal. I had the roast beef served with vegetables, so did my companions. Its was phenomenal, gorgeously cooked and beautifully served, our waiter, Adam, served us with a smile and made sure we were well catered too, making no question or request seem like a hassle, the whole team had smiles and were clearly ready for anything. The pudding was on par with the first course, I would HIGHLY recommend the profiteroles. Wonderful little place, a hidden gem in Cockermouth and will definitely return. 10/10 fredericks.

We visited Fredericks on friday night taking advantage of the TASTE CA13 dining experience that is happening in Cokcermouth this month. We had 2 courses for £18 which turned out to be fantastic. The started were lovely and the main courses were huge. I had the lamb burger and my wife had the Fish platter which was big enough for 2. The service was first class with kirsty looking after our table. All in all a lovely evening great value and we cant wait to try more of the 17 restaurants that are taking part in TASTE CA13

8 Of us visited and we all booked the summer deal which is £32 for 2 people, 2 courses plus Bedrock Gin and tonic or mixer each. Food was lovely but we couldn't eat it all there was so much. Service was excellent. We had rhubarb gin with appletiser, it was nicest drink I've had in a long time. Decor is gorgeous and couldn't fault a thing.

We had a nice meal with a group of friends on the Friday night and the food was great so we had no issues returning the following night as we struggled to find another reservation at short notice.

we have wanted to try this place for a while and managed to do so on a Tuesday night, we hadnt booked and turned up with onlt ten minute prior to the kitchen closing. I had the fish that i thought was pretty avaerage and the others in the party did agree. The deserts however were amazing and we did enjoy those. The guy who i assumed owned the place was very plesant. Might try again on a busier evening at a better time

We bought a Travelzoo voucher. 2 courses and a glass of Prosecco. £34 for 2. Starters up to £7 mains up to £15.95. This gave us a lot of choice. I had tandoori chicken kebab to start, ok but lacked a depth of flavour. Hubby had tempura prawns which were heavily battered. Main courses came with a mammoth basket of chips. I opted for Cajun salmon, served on ratatouille with sweet potato fries. Hubby had Persian lamb. Large pieces of soft lamb that tasted like it had been slow cooked. Fairly nice decor, not sure about the area around the kitchen. The music was awful, heavy metal blasting when we arrived. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Good offer but we’d have been disappointed had we paid full price as the food felt like it had no style or skill to it.

The place itself is great, the staff attentive but that’s the only good thing. Having visited the lakes we booked in here on Friday. We ordered three haddock, hand cut chips and mushy peas and one Persian lamb with chill and cumin - all sounded delicious. WHAT A MASSIVE DISAPPOINTMENT - meal was bland and the Persian lamb well looked like slop and there were certainly no cumin or chilli that I could taste. VERY DISAPPOINTED, my critique here is far to much choice, your dishes lack attention to detail and Gordon Ramsey will probably pay you a visit! Seriously £75 for a meal that was really was not worth it is a rip off. And who serves salad with chips and mushy peas !!!!

We booked the white room for our silver wedding anniversary celebration, We had the white buffet which was a selection of cold and hot meals, ( curry, battered fish, chips, chicken goujons , rice salad, poppadoms, lasagne, selection of sandwiches and coleslaw)

Good friendly staff at Fredericks restaurant in Cockermouth and very helpful staff and they are very good at pointing out toilet facilities for wheelchair users to use I remembered more weecher user it

We had pizza and lasagne... which frankly were expensive especially since they're essential just bar food. It wasn't bad but it wasn't worth the cost either.

This was our second visit here in a month and the difference was striking . Poor service ( only because two harassed waiters couldn’t really do everything) , drinks arriving after the food , over cooked shop bought beef burger, chicken burger which was two pale boiled pieces rather than the promised breaded chicken . Relish which was too sweet .

Attended fredricks for a family birthday meal on a Wednesday night . The restaurant was quiet and we were quickly seated in the back ‘white room’. It’s really lovely decor in there and does give a feeling of luxury when you have your meal. I had the chicken and chorizo calzone which was nice. Only complaint was the fries, they were literally stone cold, so not great. I couldn’t manage all on the calzone and they kindly boxed up the left overs for me to take home which was very nice of them. Service was good, and there was a good selection of gins.

The place was spotlessly clean and staff Kirsty and Jordan (who made fabulous cocktails) were friendly and professional in their job. The food was delicious and very well presented. My wife and i had a lovely time here and will definitely return. The sea food platter as a main course or as we did shared it as a starter was delicious and the Persian lamb was even better

One of very few places that serve food early for walkers. The Seafood Platter was delicious however by the time we convert £ to $AU it is very expensive. Would certainly recommend though.

I’ve visited Fredericks a few times in the last few months, usually with Travelzoo vouchers, and always find it a lovely place. It’s decorated very nicely, with a fire, grand piano etc. Beautiful inside. Drinks are always fabulous and the service, particularly the main female waitress, is brilliant.

Went to Fredericks today for lunch,staff very helpful and friendly,no problem getting all our meals served together ( there was 8 of us),burgers, pizza,lasagne and steaks were very good.We will certainly recommend to our friends and visit again

Ate here last night. No booking needed. Persian lamb for me and cod wrapped in prosciutto for herself. My meal was very tasty and well presented. My partners meal was disappointing

I bought a Travelzoo voucher for my partners birthday. We decided to visit on a Sunday as reviews had implied that the Sunday lunch was very good. However Sunday lunch was not available with the voucher as it is already a good deal so we chose from the menu. The Mac and crab starter was very nice but the Persian lamb stew that we had for main course didn't taste as though it was freshly cooked and was rather disappointing in flavour even though there was plenty of it. The decor is very nice and the service was good but I doubt we shall be visiting again. The Sunday lunch however did look very nice and popular.

After a brief stroll around the town, my family and I decided on a light lunch.

Birthday breakfast for my husband. It was very good would keep you going all day. Good service.Well worth a visit if you enjoy a good english breakfast very nice

Good service and the choice while not large was ample and the steak was cooked perfectly and nice to find somewhere midweek serving until 9

First time visit to fredericks, ordered a couple of pizzas for lunch. Thin, crispy, full of delicious toppings - struggled to eat the whole thing. Service was polite and friendly. Whole place was spotless. Would recommend.

We stumbled across this restaurant while we were out & about in Cockermouth. I had heard a few people mention how good it was so me & my husband gave it a go...... and it did not disappoint!!!! In fact I can’t wait to return. I got three tapas dishes. The potions were huge! I ended up getting some of mine boxed up. My husbands pizza was delicious too. Cocktails were good too

We came across this restaurant after a quick search on trip advisor, once we arrived a saw steps going down to the entrance and initially thought it was not going to be suitable as my wife uses a wheelchair, but then I spotted a lift which was folded up at the bottom of the steps. I went inside and a friendly member of staff promptly came out to operate the lift. You would not believe how many excuses many restaurants use as to why they can't provide wheelchair access. So a BIG shout out to the owners of Fredericks for making their restaurant & bar accessible to ALL. Oh yes and I almost forgot to mention the food & service was excellent.

We found this gem after having a negative experience at our hotel restaurant and were so glad we did! The service is fast, friendly and the food is pub grub with a twist. The tapas are wonderful for sharing and quite big for the price, we shared the fried haddock, crab mac and cheese, pulled pork and a salad and couldn't finish it all. Staff came to check on us several times and the drinks were nicely made. Definitely worth a visit!

Fantastic food and great service!! Our group of 9 had the £15 deal, all totally lovely and procecco brillant addition!! Thank you Special mention Carl and kirsty

This was our second visit toFredericks during a short break in Cumbria from Glasgow. High Quality surroundings and equally good food. Sandwich menu really good value and friendly and helpful staff. What's not to like? We will be back!

Great find... Was our 1st visit. Will not be the last... Great service,lunch menu good... Food wonderful.....

Large modern restaurant, excellent food with imaginative variations, service was very friendly and attentive.

Four of us visited Fredericks last Saturday night for a meal and a few drinks . The decor is smart and the place has a good atmosphere in what used to be the old Mitchell`s auction building and then the emergency venue for a few businesses during the recovery from storm Desmond in 2015 - 16. The service is good and we had the Draught Moretti and the ladies had a few of the cocktails on offer which were also good they said albeit pricey for West Cumbria. The starters were all a bit underwhelming , edible and OK but obviously frozen and not freshly prepared which was disappointing , particularly the duck spring rolls. Three of us had the steaks and the missus had the salmon which she said was lovely. The steaks were OK , a bit on the small side , however the chips , onion rings , mushrooms and tomatoes were poor. Prepared a long time in advance at a guess. The food was also expensive for what it was. The Pizzas however did look very good , all cooked to order in the large pizza oven that is clearly on show in the kitchen as you walk through the building , we all wished we had ordered them with hindsight. If only Fredericks put as much effort in to the rest of the food as they do the pizzas. I`m not sure if we would go back as it was nothing special and is expensive for what it is , however if we do it will be Pizzas all round !.

Friendly staff who were really helpful. The place is nice with a good ambience. We had a 2 course deal incl a glass of Prosecco. The food was fab, we had a sharing platter for a starter then had roasted hake with a chorizo & bean stew 5* & the beer battered cod(the batter was a little soggy). Good choices on the menu, so we will have to go back

Had the house chicken burger which was lovely-albeit a bit messy to try and pick up to eat. Price was on par with most burgers elsewhere. The bar itself is done out lovely, tables are quite big so feel as though your sitting far away from person opposite. Very good, efficient and polite staff.

Nice bar area. Enjoyed the tapas we had. Staff could do with some customer service training. Drinks pricey even for Cockermouth. Would think twice before going again. Shame.

Great service and a range of burgers. My lamb burger was topped with lamb chunks in a Moroccan sauce.

Really enjoyed the NY Eve party with our family and friends. The staff were welcoming on arrival, took our drinks orders and brought out our appetizers which were lovely. The cocktails were really nice and a great selection of gin. The entertainment was really good as was the hot buffet and desserts. Party favours on the tables were a nice touch and surprisingly fun, especially the flying balloons. Overall excellent evening of great music, great food, great service and a great atmosphere, will be booking for next year for sure.

Having only visited once and being very disappointed we decided to try again. We had a lovely evening and the food was tasty, plentiful and nicely presented. The surroundings can’t be faulted and the staff are all friendly. However I have to say I was still slightly disappointed due to the extremely slow service at times in bringing drinks etc. Also my main course although very tasty was barely warm when it arrived which I always find disappointing as I love hot food! However overall we were impressed at the improvements made both to the menu and the standard of the staff. We will be back to see if the improvements continue and enjoy the delicious puddings on offer! Thanks for a good night Fredericks!

Havent been to fredericks before for lunch just evenings.popped in after a trip to hospital ..nice menu plenty ro choose from ,fire on cosy atmosphere. Really nice lunch.will deffo go back.

We have been to Fredericks multiple times but the past 3 times I have noticed the standards slipping.

We came as a family of 6 for my birthday meal. One starter came out cold and when taken back and warmed up in the microwave came back with the half eaten piece of chicken still on the plate. The mains came and instead of bringing garlic mayo with the pizza I was brought horseradish, which put me off entirely. When I asked politely if they could switch it for garlic mayo the gentleman said he would fetch it right away. However more tables were served by staff in the meantime. It was then eventually brought. Once we had finished our meals we sat for and waited and waited for our plates to be collected, and to order a dessert or another round of drinks. We eventually gave up and my dad went to pay the bill. Whilst paying he said to the gentleman that we would have ordered dessert if we were served in good time, to which the server just shrugged! Will NOT be coming back here, absolutely terrible service, especially for an occasion meal. Things go wrong and places are busy sometimes but there was no attempt to rectify the situation for us. Totally let down.

Had to wait a long time for our food even though we had pre ordered. Was offered our puddings free because of the wait but still preferred to have had better service.

What an improvement. Had a Christmas meal here shortly after it opened and it was barely adequate. The food this time was spot on. Probably the best mass produced meal I've had in a long time. Had the Bruschetta, Slow cooked beef and winter berry pavlova all of which were lovely. The service from the young and attentive staff was a credit to them and the establishment on what was a very busy night.

Family of 3 for christmas lunch. Fantastic could not fault food or service. The food was more than i expected it was brillant value for the price we paid. Service was great making sure we had enough drinks. Hoping we can book for next year it was agreat experience.

Went here for our works Christmas party about 14 of us. Heard some positive comments so didn’t think we needed to worry.

Had read many reviews on Trip advisor and not all good, but we had a good night the food for a large party was excellent and plenty of it ,well cooked. Staff good and responded to requests very well .Would go back for Tapas which I understand is also excellent

Family and friends from around the world recently enjoyed a fabulous Wedding Breakfast. Most top Wedding Venues would not have attempted to serve 30 people with such a menu. Red Mullet, Turbot, Venison all cooked to perfection. The White Room was perfect for the occasion and created a lovely atmosphere. The service was professional and friendly. Frederick's Management and Staff made sure that our day was even more special.

I went to Fredricks for a jolly meal with my boys and found that the waiters were very rude and unfriendly. We felt as if they were talking about us which made us feel very uncomfortable. We waited an hour for our food to be served and the waiter didn’t care to ask if our meal was okay and walked off abruptly after our final payment

The menu looked promising, with a large section of interesting looking burger options. Unfortunately two of the burgers we ordered were served in bread rolls that were soggy and cold, like they had been frozen and not defrosted fully. Our party also ordered two chicken burgers, which were dry and overcooked, yet cold. We mentioned this three times, to the two waiters, when asked how our food was. The waiters said they would check with the kitchen, however this did not result in any action. No apology, no discount, nothing.

My son and daughter-in-law's wedding breakfast yesterday was superb from start to finish. The menu, specially designed, was a fantastic mix of meat and vegetarian dishes to keep everyone happy. The dishes were carefully thought out and executed extremely well and tasted delicious. The service and attention to detail were excellent and the whole experience was very special.

Visited with my family as we’ve been previously as a couple. The staff are really welcoming. The shared vegetarian platters were delicious, as was the fillet steak. On this occasion though the pizzas weren’t up to the standard we’d experienced previously, as they were a little over done. I suspect that this was just a glitch, and we would be more than happy to go back.

It’s advertised as a lounge bar but it mainly serves pizza of which I’m not a fan. The bar area itself is lovely but just let down by lack of choice on the menu

Beware !!! Keep an eye on the 6 months expiry date I didn't realise that there was a 6 month date on the voucher as most places are 12.My niece saved up hard and bought me and my husband a £50 voucher for Christmas so we decided to keep it for our wedding anniversary which was after that.When I called the manager he was very rude and no amout of explaining and almost pleading with him would he change his mind.It wasn't as if it was £10 or £20 it was a £50 voucher and a Christmas gift!!!So much for goodwill, I used to go to fredricks regularly but will never ever again set foot in that place and will tell all friends and family the same .

The main restaurant is quite noisy because of the hard surfaces. I was with a group of twelve. I had three courses and the food was fine, well presented and the staff friendly.

Met up with a friend and got Homemade pizza .... superfood salad....sweet potato fries!!!!! Fab service as always lovely atmosphere!!!! Great portion size .... will be back!!!!

Only discovered this towards the end of a 2 week holiday which was a shame because we’d have visited again. The staff were very friendly and we couldn’t fault the meal. It was delicious and plenty of it. So much so that I was unable to manage a dessert.

Fred's is our favourite place in cockermouth for upmarket food or posh drinks. The cocktail menu is updated regularly with specials and the espresso martini is highly recommended. The menu ranges from tapas, proper stone baked pizzas, Sunday dinners up to really top quality dining. I regularly meet friends or colleagues for just a drink, and we have visited countless times for meals as a couple and with family. We like the place so much that we've booked our wedding lunch there! Cannot recommend highly enough.

Look no further. Had a delicious pasta with smoked chicken. Service was good. Much better pastor then the other Italian restaurant in town we tried.

Visited for the first time as we had a voucher for a meal for two. Ordered platter for starters, which was very tasty, then a pasta meal and a steak. Pasta very fresh and tasty, lovely. Steak was fine. All with some very acceptable house red. Would definitely visit again. Staff are very friendly and helpful. Decor modern.

Bought a voucher from travelzoo for the tapas and Cocktail offer at Fredericks.

Have visited a few times but only for drinks. We arrived around 5.30 on a Saturday evening and although open all day was very quiet. No happy hour so cocktails quite expensive. Lovely decor and nice staff but quite pricey. Maybe management could consider a happy hour to get more people in around this time and maybe they would stay for food.

Took out a deal on line for this and it was well worth it. The tappas are pretty decent sized portions and the cocktails were very nice. Very nice inside and I would recommend this place if you ever visit Cockermouth.

We were staying in the area for my 40th birthday and we decided to book Fredericks for a meal on a Saturday night. We booked three months in advance and was asked to pay and £10 per person deposit as there was 11 of us, this was no problem at all, neither was ordering from the menu a week before. It was actually quite nice to do that as we didn't have to wait for everyone to decide what they wanted on the night. We arrived at 8pm and was served our meal at 8.30pm. All was made fresh and the food and wine was fabulous. Everyone enjoyed their meal. We didn't have starters but some people had desert which was choose on the night and the desserts were lovely too. There was a live singer on from 9pm and she was fantastic. By 9.45 we were up dancing and got other people dancing on other tables. We had a truly fabulous night, great food, great wine, great little place! Highly recommended.

Went here for our Friday night meal. Good food, good value and friendly staff. Very loud and busy but in a good way. Had to wait about half an hour to be served with food but it was really busy. Lots of large groups in there. Enjoyed the food worth a visit if in Cockermouth.
