Queens Hotel in Copeland

We stopped at the Queens for dinner whilst in St Bees. It’s dog friendly in the bar area where we were seated. Our food arrived promptly. Unfortunately both of our plates were filled with inedible hand cut chips which were soggy and unappetising. Seasoning did not improve these chips either. We both left the chips virtually untouched. Our daughter opted for a small plate of chicken bites which were overly crispy. The service was not over friendly or welcoming.The interactions with the server were functional but far from engaging. We would be highly unlikely to revisit the Queens if we were back in the area. A very disappointing first experience of hospitality in the area.

What a gorgeous place in a lovely village. Lovely bar area and lounge, well kept, clean and tidy beer garden, the rooms were massive, beds so so comfy - very clean - lovely decor - brekky huge and very tasty - Nathan was a top host - great stay!!

We used the Queens last weekend as accommodation, evening meals and a funeral lunch. Nathan was easy to communicate with throughout. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and the food was excellent. Thank you!

Lovely breakfast and lovely service Evening meal the fish was fab order it it’s a real treat,nice outside garden to sit in ,five mins from station where there is free parking and a few mins from the seafront St bees is a beautiful seafront with nice beach and cliffs and is unspoiled It is lost in time and is the same as it was 20 years ago It’s a little cove with no shops,except small ice cream and bucket n space shop on the front Hotel is ideally situated It’s a little old fashioned in its decor but perfect for this beautiful country speck

Visited a few times during our week in St Bees, good service. Dog friendly and also has a good outdoor area. Had the burger which was lovely, there was a bit of a wait for food but staff did let us know and the food was worth wait

Stayed at Queens for a few nights and we can wholeheartedly say the most easy going place there is. No hassle about anything. Had the best nights sleeps, quiet, comfortable and clean. Easy to check in check out and breakfast had what we needed. Waguy burgers were fabulous Thank you to Abby and Nathan especially.

We were staying in at bees for 4 nights and ate here twice , staff are really helpful even when busy and still smily , really tasty food and plenty of it , chips especially good . It is quite a limited menu though and lack of local beer was slightly disappointing but I’d certainly go back

Just decided to add the menu on since I struggled to find it . Stayed at The Queen for a couple of days hassle free , lovely staff . The breakfast isn’t advertised enough , could stuff myself with the full English or ham and cheese omelette ANYDAY !

Didn’t get to stay here because of electrical problems but will never use Booking.com again. I had booked this hotel (through Booking .com) because my family had organised a meal there that night. When I arrived at my sister’s, she informed me that the meal had been cancelled because the hotel was having electrical problems. I rang to see if they were still taking guests and was advised that they were although breakfast would now be cereal and toast due to the problems being with kitchen fans. The landlord did not accept that as enough reason to cancel and told Booking .Com to charge the cancellation fee of £49 (50% of the total bill). I tried to contact Booking.com but couldn’t find the phone number so I resorted to asking on their X (formerly known as Twitter) profile if anyone had a number for them. Here the situation changes from inconvenient to catastrophic. Someone contacted me via the message purporting to be from Booking.com and proceeded to access my bank account and try to empty it. They managed to get £49 before I realised what was going on and declined 4 further attempts to take money from my account. I do not know how they got my bank details (Presumably from Booking.com) but I have had no cooperation or support from Booking.com to investigate the matter. If you search for Booking .com on X, the site I found is the only thing that comes up and you can still see posts there from all the people who have been scammed by them. Booking.com are the only ones who can stop this but show no interest in doing so. My advice - never give your bank card details to Booking.com. You don’t know where they’ll end up.

Staff very helpful. Nice atmospere & real fire. We had pizza one night and specials of the day (burger) next day. Both dinners really nice. The best joice in the area.

The food was so good we went back two consecutive nights. Great staff and very comfortable pub. Our family loved the lamb shanks and the pizzas

Went for a 2 night break. The staff are so welcoming and friendly. The food is amazing and reasonably priced in my opinion.

Another return and another fantastic time at the queen's.Staff and food incredible.well worth a stay if in the area.

Yet again another amazing dining experience at tapas night.. everything was amazing and plentiful.. Goujons were to die for...😂 Well done team..

OMG! If you want a meal in St. Bees then the Queens Hotel is a must! The food was presented very well, and tasted incredible, was fresh and hot. A relaxed dining experience in very contemporary surroundings. Biggest regret is we don’t live closer, but we’ll certainly be back when we’re in the area again

Fabulous pizzas. My little girl demands we go for pizza every Tuesday and I do without a battle. Lovely food, the pizzas are obviously delicious and the salt and pepper squid is nom nom nom. The staff are always extremely welcoming. It’s home from home without the cooking. See you next week and keep up the hard work xx

Always stay at the Queens on our lads rugby / racing trips to Cumbria from Wales. Great staff , tidy pub , warm comfortable rooms at a decent price all set in a lovely village location

Lovely Tapas night last night and the food was amazing and plentiful. Fantastic options and all lovely and fresh. Excellent service in our local pub.

Stopped here as a base camp for two days of motorcycle riding in the lake district what a gem I found the staff very polite & the atmosphere was very pleasant. The room was clean & tidy & the breakfast & evening meal was very good .I would recommend that you give it a try .

Good bolt hole to start the long journey: close to the station and start of the route (ish) and packs a good lunch for the first day’s journey. Good breakfast and friendly serving staff. Place is a bit rough round the edges, roughly what you’d expect for the price. I was mildly concerned being in a pub on Sat night but the sound died down at an appropriate time. Thanks all!

Great place for meal book prior to going,and its better to eat early as they soon run out of menu items at night

We dined at the Queen's Hotel in St Bees the night before my daughter's wedding. We were 30 in all and the service and food were first rate. It was a great opportunity for family and close friends to get together and it put us all in the mood for the day to come.

We stayed at st bees close to this hotel for a week. We went in every night for drink . The beer garden was lovely and great for the dogs. It is such a shame the staff were so miserable every evening.

The Food here is great I stayed for 1 month several times over the last 7 years for work and I've never had a bad experience

We stayed for 2 nights. Our room was clean. The breakfast was excellent. Good choice and freshly cooked. Nathan, mine host, was very pleasant and helpful. Will be returning.

I visited the Queen Hotel on Saturday and had a glorious meal, what topped it off was the absolute brilliant service by a young lady called Brooke (I asked for her name as she was wonderful!) She served me to my exact needs and standards and I can certainly say she made my meal worth while, I will definitely be returning. :)

After an unseasonal day of rain at St Bees given the long hot summer of 2022. A weekend break and meal at The Queens Hotel in St Bees. Attentive staff, excellent food and a very warm welcome, just what we needed. Thankyou to all at Queens Hotel and very reasonably priced too! Will be back.

Great food and nice atmosphere. Lovely beer garden and all staff friendly. Would definitely recommend.

Best place to eat in St Bees. Don’t know what the rooms are like though. Staff were friendly and eating area was nice.

I came here last night and the waitress was not great. Tonight I came back and the publican greeted me, he apologised for the previous evening. He also offered a complimentary dessert. I had the lamb shanks and then chocolate cake. Both delicious generous serves.

After a day out in particularly bracing weather we had gone back to our hotel for 40 winks before going down for an evening meal, only to end up having 80 winks and missing our chance at the hotel. So at 8.30 on a Saturday...

We had a lovely 2 night stay. Room nice, clean and very comfy, we loved it and we slept great. Breakfast nice on the first day, but not that great on the second day. We waited 50 minutes for our breakfast and we were starving,...

As we were staying in St Bees we decided to stay local. The staff made us feel welcome as did the locals. We went here as it’s dog friendly . The food was excellent as was the service. Many thanks

It’s a nice lively pub. There was loads of staff chatting behind the bar , not much customer service gong on and the place needed a good clean ( which I would expect the staff to do instead of stood chatting. Not much effort or...

Recently had a meal here and the food was great. Portion sizes are very large. Lovely inside and the outside seating area had a lovely feel to it in the evening with all the lights on. Staff were very nice and attentive.

A good selection of beers/wines and a well constructed menu. Come hungry though as the portions are enormous. Our party of 4 had a nice meal. 2 of us had lamb shanks with all fresh vegetables and mash with a wonderful looking gravy. Another had...

The food was excellent and the beer and decor were very good! However the pub was let down by a lack of finesse. The management seem to have left town and put the place in the control of some poorly trained kids! The outside drinking...

The hotel is old so don't expect modern sleek decor - but the portions were super size and our fish and chips freshly cooked. My daughter's pizza was pretty good too - nice thin crust and not excess cheese to make it too greasy (she...

Booked on hotel. Com at £50,but pub staff said it was £75 and that booking. Com kept getting the charging wrong. Room was all shades of grey. Staff didn't seem to care about their guests, unable to book a table in the garden so had...

Great food and drink. Service was quick and all the staff were very friendly. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area.

Totally disgusted with the service/staff. We ordered or meal an literally before we got a chance to eat we had the bill sat in front of us an were told to pay the bill,total discrimination as we had a Northern Irish accent ,they apparently have...

Terrible customer service and unbelievably rude staff. I would not recommend to anyone to visit this pub.

We had a meal the fish and chips was like a whale, the gammon was cooked to my taste. Homemade chips.

Stayed. 1 night, starting C2C, Friendly welcome, room nice, over kitchen so could hear extractor fan, not a problem for us, had a evening meal, we enjoyed that, breakfast good. All things in place regarding Covid, felt safe! Staff were all lovely, would recommend!!

Comfortable rooms, very good shower, warm in cold weather, great evening meal, adequate breakfast served to rooms due to covid restrictions. Great service by friendly staff and exceptional value for price paid

A modern pub with large outside garden to rear. Good hygiene and social distancing with screens at bar and staff in masks. Sadly no cask ales and the keg ales were just drinkable (John Smith's Smooth and Marstens Pedigree).

Dined here twice, Haddock choice excellent. Wife had the Curry, verdict Good. 2nd visit Seabass, disappointed, 1/2 a fish with loads of Mash in Excellent Prawn n Sauce. Wife went for Lasagne. Pool Tournament on in Small Vault. Book in advance to Avoid Disappointment.

I stayed here for the weekend and can honestly say Nathan is an excellent host with superb staff, the food was really good and plentiful. The room was decorated to a very good standard and loved it bed was very comfy

Freindly and attentive staff. Four of us all enjoyed our meals. One of the party had the hummus starter which she remarked was the best she had ever had! I had the fish and chips (adventerous as ever when it comes to food). They were...

Work do, only had drinks, reasonably priced. Good pool table. Enjoyed our time there. Toilets clean. Would return

We visited the pub on a Saturday evening and was amused to find that it appears the centre of the universe for young people from not just St Bees but also from Whitehaven and towns up the coast. The appeal would appear to be that...

We ended up eating three meals at the Queens Hotel because the food was so good. The fish and chips were memorable.

Was a good base to start the C2C. Was noisy in the bar area and beer garden but this was not evident when you was in your room which was great. Was disappointed to be told I couldn’t order food, would have understood if i had walked in off the street but i was staying there, also stated breakfast from 7am, i later found out from another coast to coaster that they had to wait until 8:30am before breakfast started so glad I wasn’t relying on that.

I visited the pub on a Saturday afternoon mid July of 2019.I was apaled by how a village pub, would allow the place to turn into a scene of drunken yobbery. I witnessed a large group of men spraying beer over the buffet a private group had set up in an area of the beer garden.I could hear glasses getting broken all the time as a large proportion of the people there were litteraly legless, falling down drunk. The final straw for me was a drunk at the bar who again had to be held up by his so called friends as he could not stand unaided, as he was so drunk. At one point had his head on the bar, but when his friends went to order him more shots, the bar staff gladly served the group.A lady even pointed this out to a man who I believed to be the landlord, but the drinks were still served l. I found the whole atmosphere to be awful and more like a city Centre boozer, than a quiet country pub.The staff are there to control such behavior, but their actions seemed to encourage it. I will never visit this pub again.

I am sorry but I can’t believe the chef thinks that in this day and age it is acceptable to serve smash and frozen carrots with a £13.95 lamb shank meal. Portion size of said smash was large and the staff seemed friendly enough so if you like reconstituted potato, go for it. Also strange was the fact that the person taking the booking insisted they could only fit us in at 6pm as they were busy but by 7.30 on a bank holiday Saturday 70% of the seats were free.

We watched the dray men spend a couple of hours delivering new kegs in the afternoon, so you can imagine our surprise when at least two of the ales were 'finished' by 7pm. Judging by the surliness of the staff, they were probably too lazy to change a barrel. There were works leaving 'do's on so the place was busy and the background music was excellent. So, other than unfriendly staff we enjoyed the place.

Had a lovely meal after being initially disappointed at the lack of Cumberland ale. although the melon head was acceptable! Guy in charge was good fun and very attentive meals were all lovely

A few years ago the queens would be our ‘go-to’ pub. It used to have a brilliant atmosphere with friendly staff. Having been a few times recently I can safely say it is not what it used to be, the pub is no where near as busy and the owner was incredibly rude when I was leaving the building as he stood outside with a cigarette. We had to wait 20 mins to be served at the bar because there was one poor girl left on her own serving while the owners sat nearby with a drink. (Don’t get me wrong I’m sure they deserve a night off as much as anyone but surely a little bit of help wouldn’t have gone wrong). Won’t be returning, don’t appreciate being spoken to so rudely.

Warm welcome and beautifully decorated for Christmas. Enjoyed the humour of the staff and the tasty Christmas menu.

We booked as we could take our dog. Staff were friendly, nice food, nice atmosphere, warm and cosy on a cold night. Owner made point of speaking to us, which was nice. Would go again when in area. Only thing I was not keen on my burger came on a board, .

We booked ahead as on our last visit to St Bees the restaurant was full. Enjoyable meal at a good price. Good real ales available.

The food here took me by surprise. Not traditional pub food. Good quality, interesting dishes. It is a pub, but the food is a cut above. My entree hummus with a drizzle of spicy sauce and lebanese bread. The bread was fresh and in abundance. The humus was delightful. My main of a burger with camembert and a chipotle sauce was cooked perfectly, paired with hand cut chips crispy outside and soft inside with a homemade tomato chutney. It was outstanding. Good pub atmosphere with a range of good beer on tap. I love this place.

Traditional Tao room if you don't want food ... nice restaurant and conservatory to enjoy a meal. The garden is lovey and large .. a sun trap in the good weather .

Great bar man--let me taste all the various ales. Food was okay and the service was very nice. Very jovial atmosphere.

A week ago, on a Monday evening, my wife and I had a walk and a catch up with two friends on St Bees Beach and then the four of us drove back into the village intending to continue our chat over a hearty pub meal. Outside, a sign advertised food served until 8.30pm and so, as it was a little before 8.00pm, I carefully parked the car while the others went inside and ordered a round of drinks.

一和新認識的朋友來到這酒館喝酒，名字是女皇酒店，但沒有房間可住宿，可能真的如中文翻譯意思一樣是賣酒的店鋪吧！有趣有趣！

An hours wait before we were going to be allowed to see the menu in a pub less than a quarter full - your having a laugh

We came here after a recommendation from someone at the hotel we were staying at. We were greeted by friendly bar staff and sat in the sun in the beer garden. They accommodated us into the restaurant when we wanted food; we had the pizza deal (pizza and a drink for £10) and it did not disappoint. Would highly recommend. Very relaxed atmosphere and lovely staff.

It probably was a busy night but but we were totally ignored by waiting staff when we wanted a table for dinner. They just kept going past us. In the end we left.

I attended a hen party here and although I’ve passed the hotel loads of time I didn’t realise how big the beer garden is. We had booked it for the party and the sun split the trees. The food was lovely and the bar staff very nice

Booked very last min due to mix up with our original hotel.

The queens is an immaculate hotel with very friendly and down to earth staff, the meals are delicious and they are not shy on the portions. The Rooms are spotless and the beds are extremely comfortable. They have a great atmosphere and all of the locals are friendly Overall I would recommend staying here as you go you’ll have a great time! I know me and my wife will be back very soon!

Had an absolutely great time yet again at the Queens Brilliant atmosphere and the food was excellent the staff were amazing as usual i look forward to my return Cheers Guys

My family and I came to stay for the weekend. Rooms was clean and comfortable. The ood and service excellent. The staff very helpful, pleasant and welcoming. I would highly recommend this hotel.

I have never tasted food like it!!! I would give it an easy. 10+ out of 10!!!! Atmosphere is brilliant!! the staff are fab!!!! Well recommended !!!!!!!

We heard from a St. Bees local (whom we stopped to ask on the road) that the Queens was a great place to eat. We were NOT disappointed. The menu was terrific. There were four of us and we each had a different plate. I had food envy on everything. The meals were large, and delectable. We thoroughly enjoyed the dinner, and great value for the money. Thank you Queens. We will come again.

The Queens Hotel has a great menu for vegetarians. And has such a friendly and warm feel to the place. We had a delicious meal!

Went for dinner in a Sunday evening and enjoyed a lovely meal from a full and varied menu and reasonably priced. Staff couldn't do enough and would definitely go back!

Visited this on Sunday really nice staff good selection of drinks. Lovely outdoor area . Would definitely come again when next in the area.

The chicken curry was delicious! The staff, even though they were busy, were wonderful. The outdoor eating area is charming.

Called in on a sunny day, sat in the beer garden with friend's, music piped outside playing some good tunes, also an outside bar so you don't after trail inside,pet friendly,friendly bar staff, would return

We had just arrived in St.Bees and wanted food. I had the steak burger and my wife had the walnut salad. The food was excellent and really good service

We went into the Queens Hotel for dinner on my wife's birthday. We were away on holiday so just took a chance based on appearances. The food was really tasty and the staff were friendly and helpful. There was plenty of room to sit and the tables weren't too close together. The attention to detail and the presentation of everything was very good. It is advisable to book in busy periods as the pub and restaurant were busy. The squid starter was amazing and I would definitely recommend it, the Cumberland Sausage was also good. My wife is vegetarian and would recommend the sweet potato curry.

Out for a meal with a couple of friends as hadn't been here for ages. We were seated fairly quickly and given time to relax and peruse the menu - doesn't take long as quite limited selection. Other than fish & chips, madras curry and a few veg options, everything is pretty much 'meat' and chips.

Great food and atmosphere again. Wife's 60th with family , this evening was special and the Queens Hotel made it happen.

My wife and I called in for our tea on a recommendation from people I work with. Not feeling really hungry we just had a main course. I had the steak burger my wife the mushroom burger. We ordered drinks and were shown to the dinning area. We could of eaten in the dinning room or the conservatory. Our food arrived and was very well presented, nice big burger that I had to cut in half. When the wife cut her mushroom burger in half it looked like a piece of steak. Food was very very tasty and very good value for money. Reason for this review is the service even though we were only there for an hour or so the staff made us feel very welcome. Will be making a return trip soon for the hot madras, seeing these curry's coming out of the kitchen and the smell of flavours was mouth watering.

See my review of the Manor House, St. Bees to compare.

Enjoyed dinner at the Queens Hotel.

Fantastic meal and friendly staff at the Queens this evening. Very much to be recommended. Our party of 3 had a baked camembert and a piri piri hummous as a starter which we all shared which were both great followed by a steak, a burger and a salmon salad as main course which were all excellent. Fantastically friendly staff and very good value we will definitely return when next in the area . Many thanks for a great meal.

you must eat and drink in this pub the pub is so nice and friendly and cheap as well try all the food

Arriving early at the pub/restaurant, we availed of a nice beverage - good beer for the OH and nice wine for myself and aunt. The bartender advised as soon as we asked about food that dinner is available after 1800, and that evening, was a curry night. None of which was a drama for us.

Our family of three peckish walkers on a local coast and village walk discovered the hotel at lunchtime on Sunday. The bearded man in charge of the bar made efforts to answer our (sorry, the wife's) idiosyncratic menu questions and happily adapted the printed menu to accommodate her. When the food arrived it was good quality and clearly fresh - a nice selection of several fresh salad leaves in my wife's tuna salad (minus baguette as she requested!), a lovely basket of hand cut freshly cooked chips for the daughter, and tasty onion rings with sweet chilli sauce for the bill payer. Good quality, we thought. We'd eat lunch there again happily.

We pre-booked a meal here mid-week at the start of our Coast to Coast walk. It was very busy with a large group who had arrived just before us, and, as we were given a table right next to them, we found it noisy and the service slow. I think we were just unlucky however as the food and wine was very good. When we left we noticed another dining area which would have been a lot quieter and we should have been given a table there, rather than next to the large group.
