Good food, but after booking via Facebook we turned up and the fella behind the bar had no idea we were going. Luckily there was a table spare.

This place is a disgrace. Asked for a certain beer and because it run off they couldn't be bothered to change the barrel. Felt uncomfortable as soon as I walked in and then ordered some food and I must say it wasn't a steak or anything but just tuna mayo sandwiches and chips. Food arrived and it certainly wasn't fresh but when I complained about it I was told it was but I would not have fed it to my dog. As I say I complained and was told it was fresh out but considering they wanted to close the kitchen I highly doubt that. Absolutely disgrace and I would certainly never return! Unwelcome from start and felt uncomfortable until I left. Maybe it's because I'm from Liverpool but if not I feel sorry for the locals.... Disgusting food and disgraceful respect for my custom. Would rather have gone to Carnforth truck stop or Penrith where you are treated as a customer and not another number that's a pain in the *** Never again and I don't know about the hot food but if they can't serve a fresh tuna mayo sandwich then I certainly would not want something warm like the fish and chips soaked in grease 🤮

We expected to eat the best fish and chips in the area however it turned out to be average. The building was ok not a wow factor you will find all kinds of vegetables in bags sitting on the floor at the bottom of the stairs and at the entrance of toilets. Not the best and welcoming picture.

Food was not great, over priced, bland and chips are soaking in fat. Couldn't eat them. Steak wasn't good either, every thing tasted the same, of chip fat. Beers good though.

Called in for a drink whilst we were having a walk around Maryport. The staff were very friendly and we decided to stay for an early evening meal. We were not disappointed. The menu offered a good selection and the two specials appealed to us as well. the four of us opted for different meals and all of us were satisfied by our choices. The homemade meat and potato pie was excellent. The sirloin steak was well cooked and very tasty. We can only say the same about the Gammon Steak and the Southern Fried Chicken Burger. The food was served very quickly, piping hot and very good portions and very well presented. The pub also offers a good selection of beers and spirits. Well worth a visit if you are in this area.

Lovely pub with friendly staff, right by the harbour. This place does great food and is popular with the locals which is always a good sign. We've been during the day and in the evening, summer and winter and it's always a great place to drop in for a drink or a really good meal. You can sit outside in the sunshine and watch the world go by. It's child and pet friendly too.

Our recent visit to The Lifeboat Inn in Maryport was nothing short of fantastic. Nestled in the heart of this charming coastal town, the inn offers a perfect blend of great food, reasonable prices, and a welcoming atmosphere. We all opted for the scampi and chips, which turned out to be an excellent choice. The portions were generous, ensuring we left fully satisfied. The scampi was perfectly cooked, crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, complemented by golden, fluffy chips that were simply delicious. The pricing is very reasonable, especially considering the high quality of the food and the generous portion sizes. It’s clear that The Lifeboat Inn takes pride in offering value for money without compromising on quality. What truly sets The Lifeboat Inn apart is its amazing atmosphere. The warm, friendly staff made us feel right at home from the moment we walked in. The décor is charming and nautical-themed, creating a cozy, inviting environment that’s perfect for a meal with family or friends. Overall, The Lifeboat Inn in Maryport is a must-visit. Whether you're a local or just passing through, I highly recommend stopping by for their scampi and chips – you won’t be disappointed!

Found the pub on a Google search for Carvery. Sunday food is 12-2 so knew we would have to get in early Arrive at 12:05 and already queued up to the front door, soon found out why. The Carvery is upstairs and it’s a bit cramped but such big portions! No Toby short changing here! The meat and roasts were superb, here on holiday and will definitely be back.

Holidaying locally and after a bit of research decided we’d pop in for Sunday lunch. Carvery was amazing, 3 big, thick slices of meat with lots of fresh veg! Also the option to add pie, sausages and chicken in gravy. 5 types of potatoes and a great selection of veggies. Atmosphere was great too, staff very friendly. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

Service staff was courteous and helpful when we asked about desserts. Food portions are large by Asian standards. Waiting staff automatically placed order for the more expensive cod fish and chip without asking us which one when we asked for fish and chips. Luckily the price difference is only 1.50£. But it’s ok as food was fresh and tasty.

Popped in here after a days walking. What a pleasant experience. Firstly nice friendly staff, helps when you’re a lone traveller. Really pleased to have a roast dinner option,such a nice change from chips with everything. Even better, I was able to order the ‘child’s portion’ so nothing was wasted. It was lovely. Why can’t more pubs be like this? Well done The Lifeboat Inn x

We popped in for Sunday Lunch. The Sunday Lunch was a carvery. The food was absolutely excellent. Can not fault the food what so ever. Very busy so lots of people agree. The only reason for dropping a star is to do with taking your dog. The pub gets busy and has limited space. I would not recommend taking a large dog inside and also dogs are not allowed to go upstairs where the food is being served. So you need to stay downstairs where one needs to stay with the dog while the other goes upstairs to be served with the food. I would leave the dog at home to enjoy your meal here. It does state dog friendly. I would go again I can’t stress enough how great the food is.

Popped in here for a pint before visiting the aquarium and thought the place was good so after the aquarium we went back in and tried to get some food to be told the kitchen was closed (we did not realise how long we had been in the aquarium). Got a pint anyway and sat outside contemplating getting a Greggs instead when the blond lady behind the bar came out and said although the kitchen had closed she had checked and they could still do us a sandwich and chips so we said yes please! Tuna mayo sandwich and proper cooked chips were lovely so thank you for going the extra mile!

We were staying in nearby Allonby and we're recommended here to eat so off we went. When we arrived it seemed very busy outside, it was a lovely night, as we entered it was full inside but we saw a sign directing us to seats upstairs, and there were plenty, we chose a take and the boys went to order drinks and get menus. The waitress came and took our orders and when the food arrived we were not disappointed, all home made and piping hot and the portions were huge. Well with the money and drinks were reasonably priced, the staff were lovely and friendly and the service was spot on. We'll definitely be back and will definitely recommend.

Every time we visit, The Lanes Cafe is our go-to spot, without question. The ambiance is warm and inviting, making it the ideal setting for a casual meal or a relaxing coffee break. The menu offers a fantastic variety of dishes, all crafted with fresh ingredients and beautifully presented—especially the cakes and bakes A bonus is they offer a pay it forward scheme, which restored my faith in humanity. I particularly loved their afternoon tea, which is both flavorful and satisfying. The staff are friendly and attentive, enhancing the overall welcoming atmosphere. Whether you’re in the mood for a quick bite or a leisurely brunch, The Lanes Cafe is definitely a must-visit. Highly recommended!

Walked from Keswick centre to Nichol End Marina. A lovely walk but was glad when I arrived at the marina cafe. Roger (jolly Roger) welcomed me in and was so helpful and friendly. It was quiet as the season is coming to an end. I had an oat milk coffee and a raisin sticky toffee scone. It was so big! Put half in a bag to take home. Plenty of choice of scones all fresh and looking delicious. Prices were so reasonable. Roger then gave me a ride in his boat across Derwent Water. He’s such a nice man. It made my day to find a gem of a place. Would def recommend if in the area. Will return and try out the boating/canoeing etc next year.
