The Belle Vue in Allerdale

Having read the mixed reviews we thought we would give it a try. The interior is so clean and decorated lovely. We were given a warm welcome by the friendly staff. My husband had the Gammon, egg & chips which was well cooked and he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the small fish & chips which was such a good size portion I couldn't eat it all. The fish was white and meaty and the batter very crispy. They are dog friendly and had a treat for our dog Barney. PLEASE ignore the negative reviews because The Belle Vue is under new managment who have only been in 8 weeks. They are trying to rebuild the damaged reputation from previous owners. I'm just sorry that we are on holiday and this is not our local oub back home

We had an outstanding dinner! Juicy Steak & Ale pie and Chicken, Bacon and Leek Pie, best mashed potatoes we had for a long time and vegetables with ‚a bite‘. Just enjoyable!

Lovely food and lovely staff. Definitely worth the money. Popped in for some food with friends and left stuffed. Thank you

The food was really beautiful and the service was excellent. Really friendly and chatty staff. Would highly recommend a visit.

Meal was very nice. Good value for money. Not very busy but hopefully with new owners it will pick up. At the moment closes at 9 pm which was a little early for us, so hopefully it will start to open later.

We did have to wait a while for the food, but it was worth it. The staff and the place are great. We will definitely be going back.

We called in for tea whilst staying in the area. The food was excellent. As a family meal out we would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Excellent delicious Sunday roast....we were attended to by a professional Waiter.who was very polite and courteous ...nothing was too much trouble

Came for Sunday lunch with my mother who lives in the village. Staff were friendly, efficient and welcoming and were quick to bring our drinks. We all had a roast and it was interesting to see that this came in three sizes- my mum had the small, I had the normal size and my husband tackled the extra large! All very good and plenty of nice, fresh vegetables. Delicious apple and bramble crumble cake to follow. Bar staff kept a quiet eye on how we were getting on and checked if we needed anything else and if we had enjoyed our food. One suggestion - maybe a few other main course options on a Sunday other than the roast, if possible. Thank you for a very pleasant meal.

The Belle View pub has recently got new owners so living in the village we were eager to pay it a visit. Going in only 1 hour after its opening could have been risky but the welcome we received was warm and friendly and we were very happy with all aspects of our meal. The menu was varied and the food as cooked fresh to order. I had fish and chips and the batter was lovely. Not too thick and no hint of grease. Husband had the ham hock which was tender and flavoursome. Looks like the pub which has always been well loved by its locals is back to doing what it does best. Pay a visit, we will definitely come back again.

Don't bother. It's,trading on reputation of previous owners but nowhere near same quality. Lunchtime offers of light bites, small portions. I had steak pie but what came was a chip shop style pie that had sloppy mince inside. Hubby had main menu steal & ale pie that was nice, but not worth £17!!!! Desserts are supermarket offerings my sticky toffee pudding was a steam pudding style, definitely not home made. Shame ..thus used to be a dead cert for food.... not now sorry 😐

We had a lovely meal at Belle Vue last night. The steak and lamb Henry was cooked to perfection and good size portion. Highly would recommend a visit, you will not be disappointed.

Super meal and great service. Excellent sirloin cooked perfectly and cracking proper chips etc. Home made pud was great. Service was spot on. Sat by fire, but it wasn't on in Jan! Great meal though thumbs 👍

Nice find, we were visiting the Lakes and found this gem. Good portion sizes, tasty food, excellent service, perfect pub for a family meal

Plenty of parking space opposite the pub which was a plus for us. We can only presume that today the chef had a bad day in the kitchen. This is the first time I have seen Leek and Potato soup served where the contents actually stand proud in the soup dish. It really looked as if it was puréed veg that was waiting for the stock and cream/ milk to be added , but hadn’t!! I think we were all a bit shocked at the appearance of it. I ordered a Brie and Bacon Pannini which actually came with melted cheddar not Brie. The chips were brown, as others have stated. There was no slaw on the salad which was another error. I can only assume that there was a problem in the kitchen as no excuse for such basic errors.

The three of us enjoyed our tasty Sunday roasts (beef x2 and gammon) . Yorkshire puds were cooked to perfection and the gravy was divine. Plenty of horseradish sauce to accompany the beef which always works for me! The veg was a little ‘al dente’ for me but a good selection. Puds were beautiful - probably the best cheesecake I have ever tasted. Service was spot on - very friendly and relaxed. Mum and I are slow eaters and we were never rushed to finish our meal. Will definitely be back - the rest of the menu looks promising too.

Great service & lovely food! We just showed up and the staff were happy to squeeze us in even though it was busy. We tried the battered cod and steak & ale pie, both of which were great

Great night with friends and family for Xmas gathering, food excellent and service great, a warm welcome for us and our dogs!

DISGUSTED. I had what should of been a Lamb Henry. It came with no juices or stock of mint. It was bone dry the outer was so dry you could not cut it with your knife. Our guests had the steak pie, which they said was good, but the chips were brown and disgusting. Like they had been cooked in dirty oil. We have been coming to Belle Vue for 2/3 years. This is the first time we have been served such a disgusting meal. If we had not been with guests, the whole order would have been sent back. Our dogs enjoyed their supper though. We will give the pub a miss in future

Went for Sunday lunch. We wanted to have a nice festive turkey roast. The food was just ok. The place was cold. Hardly any Christmas decorations. The carrots, green beans and parsnips were obviously frozen. Turkey was tasteless. Service not great Definitely not worth £15.95 for a roast

Lovely Sunday roast lunch, 3 of us all had different roasts beef, lamb and turkey, all very tender and tasty, great Yorkshire puddings and good veg, friendly staff and food was served nice and quickly

Fantastic stop off for Sunday lunch. We hadn’t booked but were made very welcome by friendly staff. Table service was well managed and attentive. Hearty & plentiful Sunday roasts full of flavour. Both the pork and beef tender and well presented. All in all highly recommended.

Really friendly service & helpful. Great vibe in the pub Food was 10/10 (BBQ ribs & Chicken pie) No complaints, will definitely return

We’ve just been here for our tea tonight and will most definitely be back! The staff were lovely and the food was delicious my husband had the lamb Henry and I had the gammon steak

The Bellevue is very much open! After a month or so of being closed. Went for Sunday lunch on 22 October. We all very much enjoyed our food. The portions are plentiful but not absolutely ridiculous like they were a few years ago. The pub still remains a very nice venue. All of us left very happy & we all agreed that we would return. Many thanks for a lovely lunch.

Booked here for a friends 40th birthday. Food is good, portions are huge but it is expensive. The portions are ridiculously huge you make a pig of yourself trying to finish it. There is really no need for such big portions - they could just...

Crap value for money too expensive won't go back average £16.00 a meal rip off. Loved always going to belle vue great food never again
