Sailors Return in Allerdale

Popped in to this place expecting and old style male pub. WOW what a surprise, beautiful place, beautiful staff and an amazing singer. It was the boss’s daughter’s birthday and also a bit of a Halloween party. Owners had brought the most amazing chicken curry and sweet and sour chicken in with all the sides, food was to die for. We 2 adults and 2 dogs were made so welcome. What started off as a pint on the way back to the motorhome site ended up a 5 hour party with these people. Kitchen officially opens next week and I wish them all the best. Definitely visit again.

Called in for a pint. There was a singer on, and did she have a strong voice. Excellent entertainment for a wee while on a Sunday afternoon. I'll call in again if I'm passing. We popped in on Saturday night to see about something to eat. It advertises food outside. One of the staff told us that the kitchen was closed whilst undergoing renovation. Friendly and helpful staff.

Had a quick pint. Pub recently has new managers. Overheard local resident saying they are doing a good job. Pub under light renovation. Clean inside.

Lovely atmosphere nd friendly staff, amazing decor and the view over the harbour is perfect Live music

Nice enough sailing theme but not themed glass washer could do with a clean slight smell off the glass

Thanks so much Avril for looking after us the last few days ! Sorry we drank you out of beer. Hope to see you again soon. ( Three Welsh bikers)

Came here with a group of 10 girls on a hen on Saturday and we got the most amazing service. The lady was apparently looking after the place for a friend - she was amazing! She accommodated for us so much, and made us feel very welcome! Would 100% revisit next time we're in town! Thanks!

Came here as wanted somewhere to chill and have a drink by the waterfront. Loved the vibe inside and the staff were friendly. Although there is a small seating area directly outside the front, we along with others took our drinks across the road to sit on the quay wall.

this place has been recently renovated by a new owner . yet to try the food but the place is so much different. a proper pub now with comfortable seats.

The staff are so friendly and dog friendly all the locals are really welcoming definitely will be going to this pub when I visit this area

Met a friend in this place and was blown away, atmosphere was good, food was great and beer was very well priced. Will definitely go back when in town again

Stopped in with the dog for a quick rest after a walk. Only people in and just very uncomfortable atmosphere. Place is very dated and the whole exchange of getting two cans of pepsi was just awkward and uncomfortable. We drank up as quick as we could and left.

A traditional pub with character well suited to the nautical location run by a traditional landlady who is hopefully about to enjoy a long well earned retirement ! Unfortunately no real ale. No doubt it's wishful thinking that the new owners/tenants won't alter it too much to become anywhere pub !

Not the best pub, will not be going again

Was a good meal at reasonable price and very friendly people

Always made welcome good hot home cooked food

Probably the worst pint I have ever had, it tasted like it had vinegar in it and there was black bits floating around in it.

My beef and the wife's gammon couldn't have been cooked any better a nice typical local pub with harbour and sea views to Scotland.

Excellent, old traditional pub, highly recommended

Quaint place. In dire need of paint. And a good airing

Lovely roast beef dinner plenty of it ,and red hot ,service with a smile ,Lovely staff and prices

Popped in just before 12 noon for food. Was greeted by a smell of second hand cigarette smoke that was covered up by sented candles. When asking about the food menu an unfriendly woman who was behind the bar gave the impression that she was offended that I was asking about food. The atmosphere was cold and felt unwelcome. Needless to say we promptly left. Wouldn't recommend this place.

Not one to normally leave reviews, but this was the most uncomfortable 5 minutes of my existence. Honestly felt like I had just walked into a strangest living room and demanded a Coke out of their own fridge. There was nobody else in the pub and as we sat there drinking our drinks, We were just giving dirty looks. Couldn't have gotten out of there fast enough. I'd suggest just walk in an extra few minutes to get to ANY other pub.

Nice local pub with views of the harbour.

Friendly pub, fair prices, doesn't accept card payment.

Lovely one-off pub sadly not serving food at the moment - at least not during the week. Enjoyed it all the same. Beautifully scattered with all things maritime

Good food, really reasonably priced.

Made to feel very welcome. Beer is good too !

In the present climate, the landlady was so helpful and understanding, nothing was to much trouble, a big thanks highly recommended

By far the worst pub we have been in walked in and the owners were smoking the whole place stunk off smoke to the point our cloths smelt of smoke the cups were dirty and at the bottom of the cup was bits, vile dirty and stunk owner is unprofessional and very blunt her customers services was by far no way near professional we were the only people in the pub and couldn't wait to get out 1 star is far to generous

Good selection of drinks. Glasses were dirty which did put us off

Excellent carvery 4 meats plus sausage and pie

maryport live weekend. drinks prices were good

Nice little pub, friendly landlord, have a look in if you're visiting maryport

Excellent service and excellent meal great value for money

A great place for meals and John keeps a good pint.

John always has a welcome food fantastic very quick and can't forget all the other staff

Sunday roast beautiful as always absolute bargain too!!!

Have dinner or a drink maybe stay the night in the bedrooms

Beautiful Sunday meals fast service and friendly atmosphere very good prices and Eileen is lovely cook xx

Best laugh ever in here during World Cup. Drinks are arent ridiculously priced either. Our food was gorgeous. Cant wait to go back again. Stick your head in if you in Maryport.

A warm friendly welcome awaits you at this family run pub, John or his Mam are always on hand to serve you with excellent food or a drink of your choice.You are always greeted with a cheery hello it is more like walking into a friends home than a pub, give it a try, you won't be disappointed.

Stayed in the sailors return for about 6 months, the food was very good and plenty of it, the rooms were all 2 bed so shared with work mate witch was not a problem to us but could be for somebody else, all in all we had a good time in these digs.
