Golf Hotel in Allerdale

Just came to this restaurant today with a large party including children. They were accommodating but then I found a large piece of clingfilm in my vegetable lasagne. I obviously didn't finish my meal. At first, I thought it was a large onion skin but then my husband unravelled it more and you could see it was clingfilm. When the plates were collected, I mentioned and showed the waitress it. She went back to the kitchen and then came back to offer a dessert. There was no apology and it actually came across as quite frosty. I didn't want a dessert and said this but nothing was offered alternatively apart from they took off £1.50 for one of my children's ice-creams. Really I would well be within my rights not to pay for the lasagne (£14.50) but I didn't want to make a scene. I had eaten about half but there was no way I was eating something that had been cooked with plastic clingfilm inside it especially as I am heavily pregnant. I'm sorry but this was really poor customer service. I hope this review helps them to review the way they handle customers and complaints as it could have been easily rectified in a professional and satisfactory manner.

Visited their bar/restaurant today for Sunday Lunch Carvery and we enjoyed our meal. The food was well cooked, meat very tender and tasty, with a choice of four meats available. Good selection of potatoes and vegetables to accompany the meal. Service from the friendly team was first class. The menu offers a good variety of starters, mains and deserts, plus a children’s section. The interior decor is very pleasant and gives a warm, relaxing atmosphere, and was immaculately clean on our visit. Worth booking a table in advance, as during our visit the restaurant did become full with both regular and new guests. Definitely worth a visit.

Found this place online when searching for somewhere to have a Sunday carvery. I have to say the pictures online must have been taken quite some time ago. The Golf hotel looks tired and run down. The access to the hotel is via steps which is difficult for elderly and those with mobility difficulties. I did not see a lift, but not sure where they would put one for people to get into the building. The decor inside is not very inviting. It was tired and in need of some TLC. In an attempt to not be put off we all ordered the carvery. Once we were shown where to go, I was immediately disappointed. Absolutely nothing wrong with the meats. They were well presented and lovely. However there was very little in the way of vegetables. Everything was “mushy”. Mashed potato. Mashed carrots sloppy cabbage and cauliflower cheese. The gravy was really runny and thin. There were no peas, solid carrots or broccoli, which I feel are basics on a carvery We were delivered the bill straight after our mains, even though we wanted deserts. They did take it back when they realised their mistake. We don’t live locally, but if we ever visited the area I think we would be put off coming back and would search for somewhere else, unless some improvements were made.

Popped here last night for a drink and it was great so we thought we would return for the carvery lunch. Unfortunately after a 30 minute wait in the queue we were told there were no roast potatoes which was a shame but we still decided to have the rest. The vegetables were not great and no what I would call ‘proper green vegetables’ eg. Peas or broccoli. All a bit mushy really but lots of it. So we went away stuffed but it was definitely quantity over quality.

Called here for our evening meal,service was excellent,meal was a bit of a disappointment for the cost of it,I had a lamb dish which was so-so,expected a bit more taste from it,my wife found her lasagne was too much pasta,not enough meat,all in all,pleasant enough,but not worth the cost,have to say,wouldn't call again.

I had a lovely afternoon tea and apple pie. The pie was absolutely incredible, freshly made and great portion. The service was great as always and good craic from Ken. I enjoyed the atmosphere, very tranquil to sit and read, not over-crowded or loud.

We were staying in Silloth this week and had lunch here on 3 days with visiting friends/family - all superb food (huge portions!) from a very comprehensive menu and attended by very friendly helpful staff on each occasion. Sadly had to leave early, but will be back later in year for more.

The food was fine but 1 of the serving staff was terrible the little ginger one with tattoos really needs training in customer service. We eat here regularly and that's the 1st time I've seen this person I hope it's the last

Called with family and found the restaurant to be very quite, the service wasn't great at all considering that the place was nearly empty. My Cod & Chips looked really great but unfortunately I found quite a number of bones in the fish which was very off-putting, plus the fact that the taste of the cod was over-powered by the oil that it was cooked in. We definitely won't be back in the future.

Sunday Roast Carvery at The Golf Hotel. Perhaps my expectations were high on this.... The carvery has potential to be so much better than it was. Watery veg, bland and uninspiring. However the meat was good, turkey in particular was really succulent. The restaurant was hot and stuffy, with all windows shut. They were clearly under staffed and the guy on the carvery was run off his feet with not only serving but replenishing food as the queues were busy. In fairness he did a great job considering. You didn't get everything on the plate at the same time which meant you had to keep getting up from the table when fresh food came in. A member of staff was constantly sneezing so that was off putting. As was listening to individuals on their phone playing loud music. Would I go back?... No, disappointed ..moved on and put it down to experience.

I took my lovely uncle out for coffee today. He has Cerebral Palsy and used a wheelchair as unable to walk. This establishment does not have disabled access at all into building - only steps up into it. The manager was very lovely about it as offered his help and carried the wheelchair up the stairs for me. I thought it was a must to cater for all customers - disabled or not.

The food was terrible veg tasted watery roast potatoes was very dry, my friend ordered a starter first when asked where was his roast dinner she thought he didn't want one after he ordered it with mine , there was only one girl serving drinks and food and one young chef on dont think we will be going in again

Lovely little spot, know exactly what they are doing. They know there wines, can explain the food which is lovely, compliments to the chef. Staff are lovely, always accommodate a large group. Thank you for a lovely birthday evening

Been a customer for many years but the meal we had last week was very poor. I had the roast beef and Yorkshire pudding from the Christmas menu. The beef was ok but the vegetables were terrible, warned up and luke warm. They looked as though they had been left over from the Sunday buffet. The roast potatoes were disgusting, more like chunks o of potato that had been dropped in hot fat. Also the service was not good at all, I sat for at least 20minutes and no one came to see if I wanted a drink, I had to wait until my friends arrived and even then my friend had to go to the bar to place an order. Also after our main meal was cleared away the waitress didn't even bother to see if we wanted a sweet, again my friend had to go and ask for the menu. All in all we had a very disappointing meal, especially as it was supposed to be our festive Christmas lunch.

.Was originally a Victorian Hotel which has been substanstially updated into a superb first class hotel. Good comfortable clean rooms, excellent food, friendly and most helpfull staff. We stayed here for a 5k Park Run, it was perfect ,only a 5 minute warm-up jog to the promenade start. Highly recommended.

Went for lunch based on the high TripAdvisor rating but left disappointed. We went as a family of five and only our 14 year old gave his steak sandwich the thumbs up. We had a 40 minute wait which was unexpected given the small numbers eating.

Room was clean, spacious and warm, staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was personalised and tasty with cereals and juices as additional options.

Visited this hotel tonight for dinner at 4.50pm as had booked for 5 pm waited 8 mins to be seated but had to go ask a girl about our booking . After ordering drink and food , 45 mins we waited for starters . The mains came about 20mins after we had finished the starters and the food was just OK, definitely over priced for what you get and the teriyaki beef is certainly not any teriyaki beef we have ever had , more like frozen beef strips with soy sauce over it . Total for 4 people was £104.60 which is about normal to pay for 4 of us but when food is good . Spoke to lady at the bar when paying Bout the service being so poor and slow and her answer was there is only 4 of us, we are understaffed . I said well why take on as many bookings and have people waiting all that time for food to be told they will be closing in 2 weeks time so can't afford to not take bookings . Totally the wrong attitude to have to customers... save your money and go else where for dinner .

Food average. Pub is dated and existing on the value of its place on the front. Staff were friendly but the food wasnt great

Stayed for 1 night had an evening meal which was good. Staff helpful. Sadly our room (number 2 ) the bed needs replacing as has seen better days springs had gone and extremely uncomfortable. Otherwise a pleasant overnight stay.

Excellent varied menu, reasonably priced, the place was full but the manager rang me when a table was available were four of us we had salmon in garlic and white wine sauce £15, a steak £18, gammon £15 , plates hot food delicious , onions rings fantastic . Fir the person above who said his scampi was frozen isn’t it always, I can never under stand people going for a meal and having scampi May as well go to Iceland . The barmaid was good never stopped while there, the manager had tables wiped and cleared, the children meals were just £6.75. I could not fault a thing normally a bar meal in cumbria you pay at least £20 a head , this is a hotel so reasonable

Ok for a quite drink with family, but once reaching 11pm they want rid of anyone not staying in the hotel ( I quote from a member of staff after 11pm what are you waiting for) when we were just waiting for members of the family using the toilet facilities (very ignorant and and embarrassing seeing I am a local entertaining family friends from out of town , won’t be returning in a hurry

We had booked in advance for a Sunday lunch and received a slightly delayed greeting upon arrival as the staff were all occupied. However, in due course we were shown to a pleasant table by the window with a view over the green to towards the coast. The dining room is rather dated, giving an unintentional impression of the 1970s, but this does not detract; indeed it is rather in keeping with the ambience of the town. I approached the bar and asked the young lad serving if he had any real ale on offer. Offering me a choice of mass produced lagers he was totally clueless as to what real ale was. Trying to explain to him I gave up when I realised I was wasting my breath and returned to the table. Only then did I notice that the menu offered a modest choice of bottled beers; these had not been mentioned by the lad at the bar. I ordered a Coniston Bluebird. The young lad from the bar brought me my bottle of beer, along with a glass more than half full of ice cubes which I rejected. Unfortunately the beer was chilled! The hotel would not expect their ice cream to be served warm or roast potatoes served cold, so why do they not take the trouble to ensure that real ale is served at the correct temperature? The hoppy taste of Bluebird was completely lost and my ice cold real ale was money wasted. The service was very slow, but the staff were doing their best with a full dining room and even the manager was waiting on; nevertheless in spite of the pressure all the staff were pleasant. We accept that it is impossible to staff a hotel to cover the peaks in such a weather dependant location as Silloth, where half of Carlisle comes to the seaside on a sunny weekend but nobody shows up on a rainy day, so we were sympathetic. The food was excellent and worth waiting for, with a good choice of well presented starters, main course and sweets. The price of our food was reasonable and overall our meal was value for money; in spite of the outstanding training issue with the lad at the bar we will be happy to return.

We went here for Sunday lunch with my son and his partner. You could have the a la carte menu but we opted for the carvery. There was a choice of four meats which you could have in any combination and then you could help...

Lovely friendly waiter, bar staff needed a happy pill! Waited 45 minutes for our food we were only having a starter and chips too long...we walked out! Really disappointed have wanted to try there for ages. Waiter did try to resolve things but it was...

An excellent experience. Attentive service, an excellent pint of Loweswater Gold and, of greatest importance, an excellent, varied menu which was served well and proved to be extremely tasty.

We visited and booked as a family of 11. Great carvery, generous portions. Good value. Can't wait to try it again next time we are in Silloth.

Visited the Golf hotel whilst having a break in Allonby. We went for evening meal one night and then for a breakfast one morning. Evening meal had a great menu selection. The portions were a good size and the food was delicious and home cooked. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We turned up for breakfast as non residents of the hotel. Despite having cleared away for breakfast, staff couldn't have been more welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Again the food was excellent. The 2 members of staff who dealt with us were really friendly and helpful. Thank you so much.

Whilst very quiet for our lunch, it was warm, clean and pleasant. The good was freshly cooked, delicious and not and the best chips ever!!

Right on sea front in Siloth. Good value and large portions! Friendly and effiecient service. Decent offering on kids menu too.

Had a nice 2 night break with my wife in the Golf hotel in Silloth.stayed here a few times they are upgrading the hotel.All the staff were excellent and the meals we had were good Would recommend this hotel for anyone looking for a break in Silloth.

I recently visited with my family for my Birthday for our annual visit. We come every year and have been for as long as I can remember. From the get go we had an older man serve us and he wasn’t all that pleasant. I wanted to go for the streak and I like it cooked rare. The steak came and I could tell before I cut it that it wasn’t rare. If you eat out a lot and have steak you will know what I mean. So I start cutting into it and instantly I am right it is a lot more on the median rare to medium side. So the lady comes over and can see that I’m not happy. I say that it’s a bit tough and if I would be able to get another. I have never had a problem anywhere when this has happened as I understand that rare stakes seem to be hard to cook. So she nicely says that’s fine and takes it a away. The man who had been serving us comes over and says was there a problem with my steak. I said yes sorry it just wasn’t cooked to my liking. He beings to argue and say that it is and I continue to say sorry but I have a lot of steaks and it isn’t rare enough. He still goes on so he says do you want it back or something else. At this point I’m embarrassed and annoyed as my mum and granny are sat waiting to eat their food. I agree just to have it back even though I’m not happy with it and it’s a £20 steak. So he brings it out and has it in his hands and doesn’t hand me the plate. He keeps a hold of it and begins to say again that this is rare! He then says we have cut it up a bit and I mean it had been cut up a lot! He then picks it up with his hand and beings to open the steak and turn it around with his hands!!!!! I say I have never experienced service like this before In my life and I say I do not want anything to eat from yous. We cancel our table for tomorrow and will not be going back. It is truly sad as we have come for years.

Very friendly staff,varied menu,catering for all tastes. We were a party of three.The food was piping hot,with fresh vegetables.Thechicken was delicious as was the salmon and Cumberland sausage.The staff were very busy but polite and friendly at all times.Woul go there again and highly recommend.

It's perhaps a little old fashioned and has limited hand pumped ale, But the lamb henry and the slow cooked belly pork were so good plentiful and cheep I can't knock a star off. recommended.

Hot beef sandwiches were delicious. But!! 2 ladies serving us weren’t the most pleasant at all. Very abrupt and rude on occasion. Such a shame as food was fab.

There are not many places to get a proper meal in this corner of Cumbria, the Golf was recommened by our B&B; as we were planning to explore the cost south of Bowness on Solway. It was welcoming , good value and lovely, which was indicated by the number of people eating. Also good for Gluten Free

Had a lovely meal here last thursday while we were staying at the nearby caravan park. Will definitely return.

Went here for a Meal 2weeks Ago On a Saturday night to celebrate my Partners Birthday and after hearing some Bad reports about the Food I can honestly say that the Meal was excellent & I will certainly go back.

Grate real ale top pub very clean and tiydey I off ten pop in for a kwick paint ov ale a tad expensive but nice clean lines for the best piant🌅

Celebrated a 40th wedding anniversary at the hotel, the staff couldn’t do enough for us and the food was excellent. The staff really looked after us and made sure we had a good time. I would strongly recommend here to eat.

Silloth does not have a lot of choice in the evening but I would recommend this hotel for food. It is table service in a pleasant dining room.

Visited for a Sunday Carvery. A choice of three meats, along with massive Yorkshire puddings, stuffing, roasters, carrots, cabbage, parsnips, cubed turnip, mashed potato and plenty of gravy. Sauces were also available. All in all, a great roast dinner. My only complaint was, my plate was cold.

had grilled salmon, just slightly larger than an average fish finger, 5 very small new potatoes, one broccoli floret, six mange tout, and a tablespoon of chopped carrots. salmon topped with a sort of hollandaise sauce. food was all fresh, which was good, but not very good value for money!

Called into the Golf hotel as we had been advised the food was great, unfortunately we had not booked in advance but after about a 10 minute wait the staff found us a table.We both settled on the carvery and without doubt it is the best carvery we have had in a long long time.

Visited Tuesday and Wednesday of this week.

We visited Golf hotel this weekend , food was brilliant on both occasions , nothing too much trouble , I asked for mash potatoes with Seabass and they changed this Staff very good . Would Definitely recommend a visit

We visited the golf Hotel on Wednesday 5th June 2019. We were visiting Silloth (Stanwix Park) for the week and had taken a trip into Silloth to go to the park and the arcade. We were planning on going the chip shop but suddenly remembered that they are closed on Wednesdays, and had heard the Golf Hotel was meant to be good.

Sound meal - reasonable price - friendly staff What’s not to like ? Wandered in at 4.30 expecting a “not open yet”, But there were already a few diners in. Pleasantly surprised

Returned here for the first time in several years for a family meal for five and were impressed with the wide-ranging menu and good quality. The only downside was the slow service. Granted it was a Saturday evening and it was busy but as we booked the table several weekd in advance, I thought we deserved better to be told only on ordering that there would be a 45-minute wait for food.

Visited the restaurant over the weekend without a reservation and the staff very kindly managed to accommodate us despite not having a reservation when it was busy. The service was prompt and a good selection of food on the menu all reasonably priced. Large portions. We chose fish and chips which were freshly prepared but unfortunately the fish batter was oily and, as it was placed on top of the chips, it covered them in oil.

Visited the Golf Hotel upon recommendation whilst staying in the area.

We ate at The Golf across four nights and had a great meal every time. I’d especially recommend the Lamb Henry and Grilled Salmon which both came with a good selection of veg. The service was prompt and all the staff were very friendly and keen to ensure we were totally content.

Went back as lack of places that let you take dog into a dining room so gave it a go.

We visited here on our holidays friendly efficient staff but food was average and pretty run of the mill. Not great

We ate at the Golf Hotel on two occasions over the Easter weekend. The food was fantastic, we couldn't fault any of the meals. The staff were very friendly and very efficient. We will definitely be booking again during our next trip to Silloth.

Solway shrimps are always worth going for. The rest of the menu looked good but we only wanted a snack The service was rather slow but friendly.

We ate at the Golf Hotel on 4/4/19. Our party consisted of 4 adults & 2 kids (9 & 6).

Dropped into this restaurant for lunch on the last day of our holiday.
