My second visit to The Quince and Medlar. It felt even better than before.The owner was again tentative and nothing was too much trouble.As I'm gluten free, I felt very relaxed in their confident hands.I genuinely think this was one of the best meals I've ever had. And I'm fussy! You won't be disappointed. Neither of us are vegetarian, although I'm trying to eat a lot less meat. You don't miss meat in this menu. The flavours are amazing and very clever.Would be happy to recommend this restaurant to anyone.This was our first meal out after lockdown and we felt very safe with the spacing of tables as well as the ventilation.Thank you so much again for a fabulous evening.

So nice to be eating out again, particularly at our favourite restaurant. We really enjoyed the tasting menu - it's always a dilemna choosing what to pick so having that decided for us was great. Loved it all. Such a nice place for all the right reasons veggie or not.

As circumstances permitted, we visited the Quince and Medlar twice this year. We usually go in late March but we were in our first lockdown then. So, instead, we went in early September and mid-December. There was a different taster menu each time. A standard menu in fact which meant that customers did not have to thumb through a food menu and make choices. There was a card on the table listing the items. There was a wine list. It was great to be able to go out in the middle of the restrictions, Tier 2 in this area. Safety procedures were in place, tables spaced etc. It lightened the darkness. We enjoyed it very much.

Tercera visita a la Q. y M. hace un par de días y fue tan buena como la anterior dos veces. Las restricciones de Covid y el espaciado estaban en su lugar y nos sentimos muy seguros. El servicio, como siempre, fue impecable pero la comida es la verdadera estrella. El menú degustación, de tres entrantes, tres platos principales y tres postres, fue delicioso con una gran variedad de gustos y texturas. Ya estoy deseando que llegue nuestra próxima visita.

Como omnívoro con un compañero vegetariano, ambos estuvimos de acuerdo en que el menú de degustación fue una experiencia verdaderamente memorable. Gnocchi Parisienne y la salsa de garbanzos eran solo dos de los favoritos. El equipo de cocina sabe claramente cómo juzgar el sabor, la textura y la presentación en el contexto de combinaciones inusuales de ingredientes. Las verduras que antes no se conocían, como el hinojo, se volvieron sabrosas y deliciosas. Bien merecedor de los otros elogios otorgados por otros críticos.

Anoche tuvimos una comida fabulosa en el Quince and Medlar. El ambiente se sentía muy seguro y acogedor y Louisa fue muy acogedora, como siempre. Actualmente están ejecutando un menú de degustación, que ambos declaramos ser la mejor comida que hemos disfrutado allí. Es una gran oportunidad para probar platos que tal vez no pediría normalmente. El primer plato de paté de garbanzos estaba delicioso y Cathie pensó que el suyo también era muy sabroso (sin ajo ni cebollas). ¡La remolacha en el medley del plato principal estaba fuera de este mundo! Me encantó la tarta de chocolate, mantequilla de maní y frambuesa. ¡Nunca sabrías que es vegana! ¡Toda la noche fue fabulosa y nuestra primera comida después del cierre! También es una forma maravillosa de celebrar mi jubilación. No puedo esperar a volver pronto

El personal de este restaurante fue profesional y muy amable cuando nos sirvió. El ambiente era perfecto con un ambiente limpio y de buen gusto. Tenían todas las restricciones de Covid vigentes y el personal atendía de manera segura. La comida estaba bien presentada y de buena calidad y precio.Los clientes que no usen una máscara mientras caminan no deben estar parados hablando con los demás o el personal debe pedirles que se sienten. Entendemos que esto es un desafío, pero nos molestó tener que escuchar a una pareja comentando cómo todos deberían contraer el virus para aumentar la inmunidad mientras están de pie sin máscaras. Fue nuestra primera comida desde marzo y mi esposo se ha estado protegiendo, por lo que no valía la pena preocuparse por el riesgo.

Acabo de regresar después de una comida maravillosa en Quince and Medlar en Cockermouth. He añadido algunas imágenes que, con suerte, le hacen justicia a un menú de degustación absolutamente fabuloso para dos. Los dos somos veganos y nos atendieron fantásticamente bien.

Logramos ubicarnos en una reserva cancelada y accidentalmente logramos llegar tarde porque nos olvidamos de tener en cuenta la búsqueda de estacionamiento. Los propietarios fueron muy serviciales y atentos.Servicio limpio, rápido y sin problemas debido a la falta de a la carta (menú degustación solo cuando fuimos). Un gran giro a la cocina vegetariana. Probablemente nuestra culpa, pero tomó un tiempo para llamar la atención sobre la factura y hacer nuestra salida.

Hemos estado yendo al Q&M desde finales de los 90, pero no hemos estado en los lagos durante varios años, así que tuvimos que regresar, esta vez con nuestros escépticos de 16 y 12 años, el menor de los cuales es un gran amante de la carne. El menú de degustación era fabuloso, el servicio como siempre era fantástico y la comida era tan sabrosa como siempre. ¡El souffl de queso fue increíble! El Q&M es un restaurante acogedor, familiar y de alta cocina, si desea porciones grandes oLa carne no es para ti, si quieres irte agradablemente lleno, habiendo tomado un buen vino o una gran selección de refrescos para abstemios como yo, pruébalo.

Our first visit to Q & M since lockdown. The cosy little lounge where you used to have your pre-dinner drinks has been sacrificed in order to space the tables out. But as this means they still have the same number of tables it is a small price to pay. And as it is now a fixed price tasting Menu, you don’t have to spend time agonising over which of their delicious creations you are going to choose. The stylish but homely ambience is unchanged, as is the polished but unobtrusive service.

Q&M are currently doing a taster menu made up of three mini starters, three mini mains and three mini desserts. This is a great idea as you taste dishes you may not have tried as a traditional main course. The food, as always, is beautifully cooked and presented. We washed our meal down with a lovely rose wine. Q&M have very effective covid measures in place with them being too obtrusive.

Got lucky with a cancellation to get a table at Quince and Medlar housed in a beautiful Georgian townhouse close to Cockermouth Castle.They are only doing their taster menu at present. Three starters, three mains and three desserts or the chessboard. We had the lot between us. A very good Sancerre was a perfect accompaniment and even without the Eat Out to Help Out deduction very good value. Superb service and ambience.

My friend is a recent vegan and I'm a long suffering coeliac. So finding a gold restaurant that caters for us both was a win!The lovely owner visited us at the door with a warm smile and instantly made us feel very welcome.Gorgeous food (we had the special taster menu)Nothing appeared to be too much trouble.One thing I felt was that the menu may have been slightly unbalanced, as the dessert was huge compared to the two courses prior to it. I kicked myself for not having cheese and biscuits. Perhaps that's just me preferring savoury dishes.Unusually for me I forgot to take pictures. Trust me when I say, that the food was definitely picture worthy. It was stunning.Definitely worth adding to your lists of places to visit in Cockermouth.The Quince and Medlar is now on my 'regular' list.

Travelled from County Durham specifically to return to the Quince and Medlar for their tasting menu on Friday 28th February. We were not disappointed. Each of the nine dishes presented was a delight both in taste and appearance. The ambience of the restaurant is lovely and the service was excellent and unhurried.Cannot recommend this restaurant highly enough. Good vegetarian restaurants are few and far between, but this one is excellent (and this coming from a meat eater - my wife is vegetarian).

As annual visitors to the Lakes a visit this wonderful restaurant is something we and our non-vegetarian friends always look forward to. As ever we were not disappointed; between the ten of us we sampled most of the menu (with plenty of sharing). The food, presentation.ambience and welcome were all as lovely as we've come to expect - none of of us was disappointed. The house red was fine and excellent value, well above the standard of listed and more expensive wines in other restaurants. We, like other reviewers do not recognise any of the features of the recent negative review; it is difficult to believe that these people had visited the same restaurant two days before we did. Please keep up your excellent work Colin and Louisa. We look forward to our next visit - if only you were a bit nearer Dorset.

I dined here this evening with my partner and 16 year old child. We have been vegetarian for over 20 years and my son since birth. I have never written a review good or bad about any restaurant. However, I was so disappointed with the food that was served I feel I have to. Perhaps the chef was having a bad day. Perhaps living in Brighton we are spoiled with the quality of restaurants we can choose from. On the positive side the choice of wines were good as was the service. The restaurant was pleasant too. I had soup to start which was ok at best I had to season it myself, I had two spoons and gave it to my partner to finish. The main course of beetroot filo pastry was so dry I couldn't eat it. There was barely a smear of reduction on my plate. Again I gave it to my partner to finish. He had walked 10 miles earlier so he was willing to eat anything. He also thought his meal was very dry but ate it anyway. ( the lentals) We came home and I've just had to cook an omelette. I'm sorry that I have to write such a review but we feel so disappointed it felt appropriate.

We were given a voucher for this restaurant as an anniversary present, so booked a night in Cockermouth and made our visit there. It is amazing! From the moment you arrive, where you are shown to a lovely little sitting area, where you can enjoy a pre-dinner drink and peruse the menus in a leisurely way, to the lovely, calm atmosphere in the dining area to the superb cuisine - the whole experience is very special. The food was served in a very attractive way and tasted absolutely delicious. The tiny buckwheat pancake, with mushrooms and a delicate salad was a great starter, whilst my husband relished the cheese souffle. We struggled to choose which main courses to have, but I opted for the spiced lentils and roots dish which was a fascinating combination of flavours and wonderfully tasty. My husband was equally pleased with his balsamic beetroot and borlotti bean filo parcels with halloumi and other extras. The dishes were light but quite filling, but we decided we just had to find room for desserts, and were so glad we did. I absolutely loved the summer pudding - which looked and tasted outstanding - and i enjoyed a taste of my other half's passionfruit panna cotta! We returned to the cosy and attractive sitting room to enjoy coffee and fanstastic chocolates. There was an interesting wine list - we opted for a very good Fairtrade chenin blanc. It was lovely to get the chance to talk to talk to Louisa at the end of the evening and to learn about the way they had combined two houses to create such a lovely restaurant. This really is a superb restaurant and deserves its excellent reputation. I wish we lived nearer - but hopefully we will be back before too long!

We have returned to The Quince and Medlar many times in the past 26 years and we have never been disappointed in the choice of meals on their vegetarian / vegan menu. From starter to dessert the food is tempting and delicious. We both love to try the different combinations of flavours, especially the more unusual ones. Set in a calm atmosphere the hosts are friendly and helpful without being intrusive. The food is presented beautifully, with attention to detail; it is a delight to the senses, sight, taste and aroma. I am sensitive to headaches, but they only stock vegetarian organic wines and I have never had a headache from the red wine when dining there. Could not recommend it highly enough.

Dining at the Quince and Medlar is always a joy, an excellent meal is guaranteed and Louisa’s unobtrusive and gentle personal service is a pleasure.I can’t wait for our next visit whatever the menu but I hope a taster menu is planned again in the not too distant future.Remains the best restaurant in Cockermouth.

Hemos estado visitando este restaurante durante al menos 28 años. Solíamos vivir a unas pocas millas de distancia, pero nos mudamos de la zona hace muchos años y hemos seguido haciendo un viaje especial a Cockermouth solo para visitar este restaurante. La comida está bien presente y deliciosa. El ambiente en el restaurante es acogedor, tranquilo y apacible. No somos vegetarianos pero comemos mucha comida vegetariana. ¡Créeme si crees que extrañarás la carne que estás equivocado! ! Los entrantes / platos principales son muy sabrosos y pudines para morirse. Puedo recomendar el helado de pudín navideño en el menú actual. Muy bien presentado y sabroso. Estaremos visitando de nuevo pronto. El menú de degustación de enero suena como una gran excusa para persuadir a mi esposo de que me lleve de nuevo. . . . . ¿Buscas ideas para mi regalo de navidad querido?

Estábamos visitando los lagos y permanecimos deliberadamente en Cockermouth para comer en membrillo y medler. Es un lugar de celebración de la ocasión, aunque también tranquilo y sobrio. La atención al detalle es excelente, los ingredientes utilizados en el menú son muy variados e inventivos. Como vegetariana durante décadas, me encanta visitar Q&M;, es una delicia.

Este es uno de los lugares favoritos de mi hija para comer. Viven a pocas millas de distancia, pero nosotros vivimos en el Distrito de los Picos. Ella es vegana y mi esposa y yo somos "flexitarianos", pero predominantemente vegetarianos. La comida en este restaurante es simplemente insuperable. Louisa fue atenta sin ser demasiado quisquillosa y se adaptó a nuestro enfoque de mezcla y combinación para el menú. (Hija vegana, esposa sin gluten). Los cursos se presentaron al ritmo correcto y fueron visualmente impresionantes, además de ser absolutamente deliciosos. Los precios son justos, teniendo en cuenta la meticulosa atención al detalle en la presentación y la calidad de la comida. Las verduras del lado eran abundantes y excelentes. Visitaremos cada vez que visitemos de ahora en adelante. 5 *

What a great experience. My girlfriend is vegan, I go veggie maybe 4 days out of 5. So to find a restaurant of this level on a visit to the Lake District was a wow. Decor and setting, service and the food were excellent. So much choice too. Flavours were great. Not overly expensive. Will be returning.

Whenever staying locally, we always try to visit the Quince and Medlar. Such an interesting choice of dishes that are all delicious, well paced and in good portions. Relieved too, to see that they haven't pandered to the trendy minimalism common to so many in the nearby Lake District! So inspiring are the menus that they really should produce a recipe book so I can try some of these ideas at home. The welcome is friendly and attentive, and the stunning but cosy decor is an inspiration too. We really haven't had vegetarian food as good as this anywhere else.

Although not vegetarian, we do try to be meat free 2-3 days a week and having seen all the great reviews decided to try it for ourselves when staying in the area. Took the precaution of booking ahead.

I visited with friends having not been for a few years. I used to eat there regularly but family circumstances changed and always had a very good meal there with friendly service. This meal was in a different league to previous visits - presentation and imagination in ingredients and taste were exceptional - well done chef! Will return soon.

A return visit after a very long gap found this wonderful restaurant as perfect as ever. A real national treasure. Charming and unobtrusive service with fine food and modest prices. A very special place with very happy memories.

We return every year and Colin and Louisa continue to delight us with their warm reception and exceptional veggie food - equally appreciated by our non-veggie friends. Food, service and value all excellent.

Sounded so great, really looked forward to eating here as we do like vegetarian food. Nice looking dining room in a historic house. Not excited by the amuse bouche of a small olive and a half tomato. I was not drinking but my husband said his glass of house red was very thin, not a good Tempranillo. Very ordinary bread rolls and butter. Broad bean pate and homemade biscuits and the soup starter were ok, lacking seasoning. Mains seemed to vary wildly in size, my fennel and leek sticky rice towers were too much while his aubergine dish was quite small. Puds sounded better than the reality. The cheesecake was a small glass of crumbs topped with mousse and the passion fruit iced bombe was just that: a ball of frozen cream covered in passion fruit. Not enough for the £7.50 price tag! Be prepared for a long wait between courses too.

Love this place. The food is out of this world. Thought I would miss having meat but I didn't at all. The owners are lovely and welcoming and will go above and beyond to explain the dishes and the ingredients. The bread is fresh and warm. The drinks menu is brilliant. The strawberry beer is beautiful. I love this place. Highly recommend it, even not for vegetarians. You honestly won't miss steak!

I'm not a vegetarian (actually, not that keen) but we had heard good things and so glad we went! Very nice place, extremely well presented "beautiful" food and extremely tasty. I left feeling surprisingly full and very satisfied, and although a wee bit pricy, good value.

An unexpected find - hidden away in a pretty but unassuming Cockermouth terrace is a world-class vegetarian restaurant run by the nicest people.

Stumbled upon this little gem of a restaurant after we’d booked to stay in Cockermouth. Had to change our original booking as we had to delay our arrival but the owners were very accommodating. As it happened, our first visit was so fabulous, we booked to come back two days after.

My partner and I went for a delicious meal here whilst on holiday in the Lakes. We’re both vegetarians so are always on the look out for new places to try. We shared a starter and a dessert and had a main each. The choice is excellent and although we loved what we had we could have both choosen an alternative and been very happy. We felt very relaxed and didn’t feel pressured to move on to the next course.

It is some years since I wrote a report on Q&M; so I was interested to know if the same high standardsfor food and service still applied. I was NOT disappointed, it fully desrves to be the only restaurent in Cockermouth worthy of inclusion in The Good Food Guide.

The Keswick Kitchenlocation-iconSunset Hill Business Park Burns Unit 7 & 8, Keswick CA12 4AJ England

The food at Keswick Kitchen is delicious! We had a Sunday lunch of traditional roasted chicken, dressing, gravy, vegetables and potatoes. The starters offered were equally tasty. We were too full for dessert, but it was a temptation !The restaurant itself overlooks the Keswick Golf Club with the majestic Cumbrian fells above. It is very comfortable and accommodating. We all agree that our meal at Keswick Kitchen was by far the best we have had while in the UK. We say this with confidence because we have been in the UK for the past month and have enjoyed many good meals! Fran & Pat Maranda Jackie York USA
