The Fletcher Christian in Allerdale

You could never call the Fletcher Christian a cosy pub. It is a large, modern bar with background music and multiple televisions showing sport in abundance. In pubs like this it really depends on who else is in at any particular time and we were perhaps unlucky to have to negotiate smokers congregating on the front door step and then being sat near a bunch of blokes whose language was both loud and ripe. Our lagers however were crisp and fresh and the service friendly and efficient.

The Fletcher Christian is a roomy pub in the modern style, with sport on multiple televisions and rock music on the sound system. It’s a nicely ordinary pub where folk come for a few pints and whereas some would decry the lack of real ales, I accept that there are different pubs for different moods and tastes, and when we came in I was more than happy to enjoy a couple of simple pints of lager and watch a bit of football. It was busy when we were in and great credit to the lass behind the bar who handled it all with a cheery smile.

AVIOD this pub at whatever cost. The only thing about this pub is the price of drinks which attract the lower standard of human being. Most look like they come off the local council estate grubby unwashed hair most gobby and smokers. What is more concerning they have NO Covid precautions in place? NO track and trace the sanitizer bottle empty but more importantly NOBODY what so ever wearing face masks??? Their were groups of people about forty in all none of which were wearing masks bar staff nothing and the glass collector had a mask but pulled down under his chin. When I went to the bar they all looked at me as if I was weird absolutely no regard to Covid precautions. This pub I feel was privately owned but was just like a Hungry Horse of Witherspoons and as we all know with cheap prices it attracts the down and out. You may ask what was me and my partner vacating this hostelry well once in it was one drink and off. we are today taking a lateral flow test so AVOID AT ALL COST

Just popped in for a quick pint on my lonesome. Great, friendly service and a nice crisp clean pint.

Tomé un par de copas aquí mientras pasaba. El servicio fue eficiente y amable con cerveza a buen precio. Me decepcionó la alfombra desaliñada en las escaleras hasta las instalaciones para caballeros de arriba, pero aparte de eso, los estándares de limpieza eran buenos.

The Fletcher Christian is a large pub with a modern decor but no trendy pretentions. It’s a pub where locals come to enjoy beer while watching sport on telly or listening to music on the jukebox. It was quite busy when we were in but the service was swift and the atmosphere lively and good natured.

A typically average pub . Cheap prices and a reasonable choice. Good for tv sports. Friendly service

Popped in for a few drinks and seemed pleasant enough. Had a lot of huge TV screens which meant it was more of a sports bar which is fine if you’re into that.

Called on a Saturday night, the place was busy but it all looked a little dirty. The drink is only ok as the wine was warm. Always seems to have a great following

Couldn't wish for a better time that we had was awesome music value and atmosphere fabulous free juke box and a good crack with the regulars

Not a pleasant experience. We just went in for a drink on a night out, and it was terrible. I hate to say it, but had a "Low-end" feel and some of the clientele were noisy, drunk and aggressive. perhaps its just that kind of bar?

Been to Cockermouth twice now and on both occasions ended up at this place. They have some great unknown bands / artists on over the weekend, well worth a visit.

Has been refurbished since I last went in. Plenty of big screens for the football racing and rugby all at the same time . cheep drinks compared to other places in Cockermouth. john Smiths £1.90 and carling £2.30

Wow, even on a really busy night staff are friendly and nothing is too much trouble. 10/10 will be back again

Amazing atmosphere at the cockermouth show night, lots of entertainment which was family friendly! Lovely staff/excellent customer service! Would advise 100%.

In the past I had generally found the FC to be a good place to visit but on my recent visit all this has changed. The treatment of a customer I witnessed whose drink had been taken from in front of her by a staff member, (she didn't notice as she was looking away talking to someone) was argued with and made to look a liar. They did admit to taking the tonic water but not a drink. As I was actually on the same table I vowed for her and had the same treatment. The lady and her friend decided to leave. I was then accosted by three very obnoxious customers and was then asked to leave. The complaint was one that could and should have been dealt with simply and with respect. However, quite the opposite happened and I can only say that the establishment has changed very much for the worse. Probably the worst pub in Cockermouth.

Una vez en la calle durante más de un año ya estaba aquí y es como un pub diferente. Un montón de gran pantalla en las paredes muestran ahora todos los deportes y los precios del bar mucho mejor, Smiths john a £1. 90 tiene que ser más barato en la ciudad de lejos.

Habíamos vivido en Cockermouth tuve una estancia de una noche. Después de una comida que descendía por Fletchers, ya que siempre hemos tenido una buena bebida!

Really friendly staff,modern and the girl behind the bar was disinfecting the tables down during the day around other drinkers which shows a high standard of cleanliness. Nice local for sport

Este es un "Bar Pub cadena typicla" con buena cerveza a precios muy baratos un montón de televisores mostrando una gama de deportes - algo para todos.

Este es uno de los primeros pubs Fui cuando me trasladé aquí y todavía me encanta.

We ate here with family one night, as it was the only pub still serving food. The food isn't high quality, but this is reflected in the price. The staff were very helpful and the facilities were good.

Whilst in the Cumbria area visiting the brewery we decided to take a walk around Cockermouth. Several of the pubs we checked out had stopped serving food but we came upon the Fletcher Christian. I ordered a hot dog in a baguette, my husband opted for the hot beef sandwich. After about 10 minutes we were informed that there were no fried onions for either of the meals as the kitchen had run out. When the food arrived my hot dog was served in a soft, long life, hot dog roll and the hot dog was dubious. My husbands 'hot beef' was inedible as it seemed to be left over roast beef reheated till it was as dry as shoe leather. The bread was thin, dry 'frozen and defrosted in micro' (best guess) and had mould on it. We complained to the young boy in the bar who bolted upstairs whilst we were still talking to him...we left.

I like the people there and the price is very cheap for the area , but don't go after 9 pm...........

We called in for lunch one Saturday lunch in October. It looks like the place has been recently refurbished. My wife ordered a prawn in marie sauce sandwich for herself and my mother. She also asked if I could have a tuna salad without mayonnaise and the bar girl said yes.When the food arrived the sandwiches were quite nice but my salad was of tuna mayonnaise and turned out to be a de-constructed tuna sandwich with a bit of lettuce. I couldn't be bothered complaining so ate the salad as it was. As we were the only people eating you would have thought they could have managed to get the one order they had right. But no!

Went in for a meal and should of realised how terrible it would be by the type of customers in there! Not a nice atmosphere to sit and have a meal in overall the pub is dirty looking, dated and the toilets were disgracefull. Definitely will not return!

Very busy pub with plenty of locals there, showing how good it is.

Had the pleasure of finding this place a couple of weeks ago and what a find it was. Place was packed but the staff welcomed us like locals and we were given a table straight away. Weather was rubbish ( as usual for summer ) and the staff took our coats and hung them up to dry for us. We ordered drinks and looked at the menu and specials board but there was so much choice we will have to go back and try them all if what we had are of the same standard. I chose a burger and it was one the nicest juciest burgers ive ever had and very filling and welcomed after a long day walking in the area.Prices are what you would expect for this type of place however the quality was outstanding. We noticed taht the also have entertainment on some nights with live bands and music,also quiz nights which we will try out when next in the area. If you are in the Cockermouth area this place is well worth a visit and cant wait for our
