The Terrace Bistro in Allerdale

I visited with my family on Christmas Eve and we had a fantastic lunch. The food was superb. The service was excellent, nothing seemed too much trouble for the staff. Will certainly be back.

Just because this is part of The Trout Hotel doesn't mean it's any good... Booked and pre-ordered for a family birthday which didn't seem to matter as it took just less than 1 hour for food to be served! Food itself was average at best, very greasy and lacking of flavour and presentation. Overall, disappointed and expected better.

The evening was fab from start to finish. The table setting was great as there was 13 of us. We did preorder but the service of the food was really quick. The girls who served us were smiling and attentive , especially Aimee. Food was lovely from burgers to steaks. Definitely recommend the terrace bistro as a place to eat. It is part of the Trout Hotel. Shazzas party was enjoyed by all and noone was rushing us to leave. To finish off lovely coffee with shortbread yum One mention for waiter Stephen and his infectious laugh

I never review but sorry to do this. We went for a meal (a big-ish group) around 2 weeks ago and the food was awful. We ordered the Sunday dinner and it was all cheap ingredients. Possibly the worst food I’ve ever eaten, none of it was home made. The portions were terrible too.. the puddings were like microwave ones you can buy from Asda yourself. Constantly found that no one checked the table for ages we were in there for about 35 mins before we even got our order taken. The staff were friendly when they checked, I just feel like it’s more a case of bad management than the staff being lazy or absent. Just terribly let down by the quality of food. I know it’s not exactly expensive but Christ, if you don’t want any of the food to be home made then this is your place. Honestly it was awful, I would never go back. Could of visited a cheap cafe and had better food. Defiantly would not think of for how beautiful the surroundings are.

Vinimos aquí para nuestra fiesta de Navidad en diciembre de 2019, pero acabo de escribir esta reseña ahora. Todos pedimos nuestra comida con anticipación ya que éramos unos 20. No nos dijeron que teníamos un límite de tiempo al hacer la reserva, pero en el último minuto recibimos un correo electrónico para decir que solo teníamos nuestras mesas por un máximo de dos horas. No hubiéramos reservado este lugar si lo hubiéramos sabido, pero afortunadamente esto no se hizo cumplir. La comida era buena y el personal era amable. El precio de 3 platos era un poco más de 20 y pensé que tenía una excelente relación calidad-precio. El ambiente era genial y la zona estaba decorada de forma preciosa. Me tomé un buen cóctel sin alcohol, pero no me gustó cómo el camarero manipulaba y aplastaba los ingredientes con las manos desnudas, especialmente porque no lo vi lavarlos y solo había manejado el dinero de otra persona.

The food nice, however service really let it down. Took a long time to get any type of order (about 1 hour for drinks) and had to fight to get attention of service personnel for things like bill. Really let the place down

We had a wonderful time at The Terrace Bistro in Stockton Heath. We were celebrating our Wedding Anniversary which so happened to be during the Eat Out To Help Out Scheme but we wholeheartedly felt that we wouldn’t have any qualms about paying full price for the quality of Food and Service we received. It was lovely to chat to Marc and his team, who made us all feel so welcome. Eating Out can be challenging for us due to me working long hours during the day and my husband working nights. My husband is also Deaf and suffers with chronic Tinnitus which can make going to restaurants very overwhelming. He felt both comfortable and confident here and has already said he’d love to return which is very unusual for him. You have go to this absolutely fantastic place.

We visited for the 2 course meal deal which was very nice. I had the cauliflower fritters to start which were very tasty followed by the smoked haddock which was lovely. Nice staff

On a short break for four days whilst we did not stay at the Trout Hotel we ate there every day. Special menu changed daily and Sunday we both had the guinea fowl this was excellent compliment to the chef and a big thank you to the front of house team who looked after us so well.

We stayed at the hotel and knew we would be tired after a day of walking so booked the Bistro. Whilst the serving staff were lovely and polite, and very attentive, that couldn't rescue the food which was mediocre at best. We had the tapas - the first dish that came out was the breaded brie which was malteser sized balls of deep fried cheese and not at all what we expected. The other dishes were not much better. This is not good food and obviously not prepared by a chef. I wouldn't choose to eat here again and would not recommend it to others.

We had a fabulous time in the trout terrace bar! We especially loved the cocktails! Our favourite was ladies day out! Would definitely drink many more again! X

Regulars diners in the bistro here and never disappointed. This week we tried the special "Bistro Week Menu", 2 courses £12, 3 courses £15. Not only was it excellent value but was cooked perfectly and tasted delicious. The staff are always friendly and helpful, the beer well kept and the seating comfortable and relaxing. So convenient having car parking too! Thank you to all & special praise to the kitchen staff who we never see but are obviously working so hard behind the scenes!.

I had a lovely meal at The Bistro in the Trout hotel The menu was so varied it was difficult to decide what to have. I would recommend the mushroom risotto and the pork stroganoff The atmosphere was very relaxed and the service excellent Good value for money.

We always choose this restaurant when we meet for lunch and sometimes dinner. The food is good, the staff attentive and the atmosphere relaxing. Their specials menu is always interesting at lunch time.

Staff saved the day. Had booked for afternoon tea and had rung to make sure that it was noted as afternoon tea. Walked through most of the hotel passing lovely restaurants with people having tea. Kept being sent to other rooms until we ended up in the bistro which had a very stong smell of cooking and not the ambience of the several other rooms we passed. There was no table set and no one appeared to know we were having tea. However the staff in the bistro turned the visit around they couldn't have been more helpful and we really enjoyed it.

From the moment we walked in Amy was a perfect waitress. The atmosphere was relaxing. The food was perfect & reasonably priced.

We came here for an early tea on a rainy Friday evening. We’d previously had a really bad meal here and haven’t been back since but we had a gift voucher to use so we decided to give it another go. So pleased we did! The menu had changed and the food was delicious - back to its very best!! We all had something different and we all said how much we had enjoyed it. Really pleased it’s upped its game and we will most definitely be back (especially as it’s just round the corner from us).

Tuvimos una agradable velada celebrando el día de San Valentín en la terraza. Preferimos mucho más sentarnos en el área de jardín de invierno al comedor principal, ya que se siente mucho menos formal. El Prosecco gratuito fue una agradable sorpresa también. Pedimos del menú de tapas y disfrutamos de todo. Ordenar 4 platos entre nosotros fue suficiente. La estrella principal fue el postre, ya que me encanta pannacotta y macarons! Volvería solo por otro de esos.

While visiting Cockermouth for a couple of hours, this hotel is within a short walk of the shops and has a daily specials menu with a range of freshly cooked meals. The bistro/terrace is a modern venue - additional to the traditional hotel itself.

Fuimos a probar el menú de tapas, ya que el bistro dice "comida exquisitamente preparada con los mejores productos locales y de temporada".

Excellent food, excellent surroundings. Thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Great choice on the menu, can’t go wrong. 😊

Fuimos para el menú especial, 2 platos para 12 y una botella de vino para 12. La comida era buena, aunque un poco simple. Tuve la sopa seguida por el Coley. La otra mitad tenía las setas y también el coley. La botella de color rojo también estaba bien.

Yet another great visit with the family, it's amazing how active and helpful Enzo is given his age - just brilliant t service. Love the gnocchi bites on the menu may we also add and the fish lumps are perfect.

First return since Stephen has retired ! It's still brilliant. We called on a Saturday evening - the atmosphere was brilliant and the food better. What a fabulous place to spend an evening with friends.

As far as the food was concerned, the food was good. If reviews were based on food alone I would have rated this place very good.

the only way Stephen and his team could improve this place is to move to our house! the food, the ambiance and the service are fantastic with magical wines to boot. Simply brilliant

Visited early evening with grandchildren, one of whom took advantage of the children eat for free offer. His portion was a good size and he said the sausage & mash were 'superb'. Our other meals were also very good. Granddaughter thoroughly enjoyed her lasagne and my pork chop was so succulent, beautifully cooked.

We ate herefor mothers day. I had scallops and steak and chips. The scallops were nice but had been cooked with nuts, why? The steak and chips was faultless and 10/10. My wife had mixed carrot starter (a bit confusing) followed by lentil hotspot and roasting, super nice. The MIL had ale pie and chips. Unfortunately she was expecting a slice and not a full pie, the chips were soggy because they had gravy over them!! We followed this with crime brullee. This was a chocolate version and didn't work. Like scallops keep it simple. I had chocolate sundae and wife had treacle tart. Overall really enjoyed the meal, at least my wife and I did

Called in for a latish lunch. Rooms in the main part of the hotel were too hot for comfort so we went through to the Terrace bar were there was only a handful of other customers.

Love this place, the food is great, the wines amazing but the service is outstanding. The add tail in the explanation of the food is fabulous. If you ask Enzo you will see - it's like a challenge. In fact we should all challenge Enzo. The fish and chips are massive so be warned - make sure your hungry

The special offer appealed to us for a birthday meal. We have eaten here before and knew that we would not be disappointed. The offer was for 2 courses for £10 or 3 courses for £15 - there was a choice of 3 options for each course and all were plentiful and beautifully presented aswell as very tasty. The staff were very efficient and courteous and with a relaxed, comfortable setting the whole meal and night were very enjoyable.

The Terrace restaurant is part of the Trout Hotel, recently refurbished in a contemporary, relaxed style, suitable for all ages.

I ate here Friday night and Sunday night as I was staying at the hotel and catching up with various friends and family. Food was great, generous portions all very well cooked. However the service in particular for getting drinks was snails paced. Friday I ordered a bottle of wine, that took forever to arrive. Sunday there were a few of us, some ordered cocktails, it took half an hour for the drinks to arrive which all arrived at different times and one was missed altogether. Food didn’t all arrive together either on the Sunday. However, the food was absolutely great and good value for money. Think if you offer a cocktail menu you need extra staff on the bar......

We had the Christmas menu - 3 courses for 22.95. Good quality, served promptly and the food was tasty. An unexpected surprise in comfortable , recently refurbished surroundings.

Yet another great visit, this time we were looked after by Karen - who is amazing. The food as always was brilliant with a fantastic atmosphere. Puzzled by one of the previous reviews stating that the waiter with grey hair being no good - they all have grey hair! But they must have caught someone on a off day - they are all always very friendly.

Visited on a Saturday evening. We used to be regulars but after a couple of poor experiences we haven't been back for a while. Decided to return after hearing good reviews. First impressions were good but then the food arrived ... distinctly average and a surly waitress serving us. Kids food was very basic and disappointing. When we finished our main course no one came to take our plates away and we waited for half an hour. We were going to order desserts but were so bored waiting we got up, paid and left. No we won't be back. Cockermouth is bursting with lovely restaurants and this one really needs to raise its game!!

Came here on a very wet and windy night. Place was empty with about 8 staff hanging around. To be fair staff initially friendly and we only wanted a table for two - then a miserable grey haired man asked if we had booked and made comments as I looked around the empty spaces. If the weather had not been so bad we would have left. Glad we stayed because food was excellent, restaurant and facilities well decorated and spotless and staff generally friendly. If the management read this the grey haired guy needs to be very careful how he presents himself and this excellent establishment. I would have given it 5 star had it not been for him.

My husband and I ate here to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The food was excellent and service was good.

What a beautiful place and meal here. Enzo and Steven were fantastic. We used to frequent the distillery but this place beats it hands down. Can't praise it enough. We will definitely become regular diners here. Thankyou x

Staff were very attentive during our visit - there was a table booked for 8 of us and food was delivered in a quick manner.

first time in terrace bar since it flooded ,looks fantastic,called in for a snack with friends, we all decided to have 2 starters, mine tempura prawns they were beautiful,and scotch eggs nicest scotch eggs ever had. will deffo be going again,not the cheapest but you pay for quality.

Better visit this time, love the place as the staff are great. The food was way better this time - maybe a bad day on last visit. New menu, well done Steven - for giving Enzo a couple of weeks off !

My husband and I visited the terrace for a meal following receipt of a voucher from our nephew. The service, food and ambiance at the terrace was excellent. Service was professional but friendly. Food was excellent. We thoroughly enjoyed our evening and would recommend the experience to anyone

A Calamari starter, a fantastic piece of steak, and a delicious pudding is what I had when we 'popped through' on a whim. And I wasn't disappointed, it was excellent. The staff are worthy of a mention being attentive and polite and happy! Well worth going for a meal here, not as formal as the hotel restaurant but fantastic food :)

Great service and a lovely meal, varied menu and reasonably priced, would recommend the chorizo scotch eggs or ham hock terrine starters, but be quick as the menu changes throughout the year.

A family meal to celebrate a birthday- a very good menu with plenty of choice to suit all members of the party (from the meat and two veg brigade to the lovers of spice and everything in between). The Trout even has a specific lactose- free menu for those who can't tolerate dairy products- I guess they will also have a gluten-free menu. The service was welcoming, attentive and cheerful. We were very comfortable in the newly-renovated bistro. It has a modern interior so don't expect an old-fashioned coaching inn feel. Plenty of choice as to where to eat as well- we could have stayed in the bar and associated rooms or gone to the posh restaurant. Sadly the weather was mixed and so we couldn't make the most of the outdoor terrace.There was a good mix of people dining from families with children to older couples.Well done, The Trout- you successfully cater for everyone. A warning, though- the portions are huge!!

The management here need to take note, this is our favourite place and we are very frequent visitors which has made us know lots of other frequent visitors and we all talk. The general consensus of opinion is that the food quality is the dipping, which is a real shame as the service is the best in the area. This needs looked at or I fear for the restaurant. Please read this as a positive critique and note the four stars compared with the five every other time!

Had a really lovely evening here on a recent trip back to Cockermouth a place we love. Have always enjoyed our visits to The Trout, but this night was especially memorable. Staff were very attentive and friendly and didn't complain at all about us staying WAY beyond all other diners!! The food was lovely and there was a good wine list to choose from. Will definitely be heading back when next in Cockermouth.

Sunday lunch was finished and evening specials not yet available but we were told this when booking. Sufficient variety of choice for the 9 of us and the service as ever was excellent.

Service was good, however food wasn't so good.Meals tasted and looked like they had been warmed up in the microwave.Very disappointed, especially for the price - just glad we didn't have to pay for it as we'd been given some vouchers to use.

Another brilliant meal with friends along with amazing atmosphere. There has been a change in the menu with some even more tasty things to try. Great to see these guys are up with the trend and read the reviews. Still think this place the best in the area with the best staff. All good

We ate our Sunday lunch in the terrace bistro part of The Trout. The staff were helpful and delivered a great service to match the food. The potions were very generous with a huge Yorkshire pudding accompanying the roast beef. I'd definitely recommend it for lunch. And there are small pudding options to accompany coffee if you're tempted but can't manage a full pudding

Love this place and all the staff. Great service and very well cooked food. Always a loverly atmosphere and great wine to help. The only small - and it is small thing for me would be a change of menu more often would be appreciated, but then we do eat here most weeks. Great effort - must be time for a pay rise or two

Found the menu to be lacking, struggled to pick something so ended up with fish and chips which were lovely but would have preferred something else. One of our party had the green thai prawn curry which was seriously lacking in prawns and overloaded with onions+++, the boiled rice was just like the packs of well known 'cook in the microwave' type available in ant supermarket. Can't say the dessert menu was any better for choice either. On a positive note the place has a good atmosphere and the staff were lovely .

I'm a regular here but was disappointed on my last visit to see the menu had changed but still offered very little choice. Compared to what it used to offer (more than enough!) it is very limited. I'm not a fussy eater but struggled to pick something due to lack of choice. Ended up with a special - chicken and mushroom pie. Absolutely gorgeous. Can't fault the quality of the food atall and staff are always brilliant. Please add more dishes to the menu!

First time back since it reopened. Lovely to see some familiar faces. My daughter had fish finger sarnie. Awesome is the word !!!! Kiddies meal good value too. Nice to see my fave person Steve who still had his familiar laugh def go back although pricy but worth it. The decor is a bit grey but better than the previous decor. Main restaurant is stunning.

The staff was friendly, the guests were lovely, a delightful atmosphere!We enjoyed a pre dinner cocktail!

The better half and me decided on an easy mid week supper. Its been beautifully redone since the floods in December 2015. The food was lovely. I had the cod, which I had to ask the better half to help me finish, whilst he had the sea bream. Staff are so helpful and friendly. A definate must-try.

Went recently for dinner to see changes since refurbishment. I had heard they had revised their menu and upped their game food wise, no longer offering a mammoth multi paged menu but a more simpler straight forward menu. The menu is much improved- on paper- and the decor looks great. Service was friendly but the food was as I remember on previous visits and of the standard offerings found in West Cumbria. Big portions, little flavouring and not a lot to get excited about. They just need an injection of life food wise and this would be a brilliant little place

The Trout has successfully reinvented itself for a second time after terrible flood damage and all credit to the owners manager and staff.Cosmopolitan funky bang up to date décor and finish, nice menu and attentive service.Booked on line as booking is now advisable the food was well presented and we all enjoyed everything we ordered.In order to understand the title of my review you will need to make a visit.Only then as you walk deeper and deeper inside the relevance will whack you straight in the Eye.

After the floods the terrace has returned to its usual high standard, however booking is advisable . Food choice and ambiance is really great.

Popped in for lunch in Terrace Bar to be told that you can't just pop in any more - reservation needed!!!! Thankfully Enzo found us a table & produced the new food menu. What a dilemma, nothing I could eat the sizzling dishes having been taken off the menu. Ended up with a sandwich & chips, which were greasy & soggy felt under pressure as you are only allowed your table for two hours. Not sure what would happen if the kitchen was having a slow day. All I all the new decor is lovely and the staff great but the food leaves a lot to be desired & probably won't go back.

We ate here all the time before the floods and we're excited to see The Trout and The Terrace reopen but what a disappointment. The menu, which previously was fab and had loads of choices, is now much changed and smaller. Some of the more popular items from previously, such as chicken strips, no longer appear on it. The decor is nice but the lighting gives it a cold feeling. We hadn't booked, which is a new thing for The Terrace, and ended up at a table by the door to the outside terrace as all other tables were booked but for most of the time tables were empty. The staff are lovely as ever, especially Stephen, but the once cosy atmosphere and fab food is missing.Not sure that we will be eating here very often now

At last it's opened. This has consistently been our favourite local restaurant for a number of years, but had been badly damaged in the floods. Now all repaired, very nicely may I add, it's back open. There has been a change in the menu but the food is still well cooked and presented great. Most of the same staff are here and just as friendly as ever, we visited on a Saturday with friends, all of us trying a different dish, everyone loved it. Brilliant service fantastic food and super staff, what's not to love............ But! Many changes have happened, most fabulous, however one of these changes is bizarre! On walking into the hotel we walked as always toward the Terrace bar. Half way down the lobby we were met by a second row forward rugby player who tackled us with his I-pad. It was with great side stepping action and the off-side rule that we managed to get allowance to enter the bar! He explained that we needed a reservation to enter, never reserved before I said, but you need one now he said. He advised us to book a table and return another day, we did with negotiation manage to be allowed in. Once in Stephen and his team found us a loverly table very quickly, we had a great meal and fabulous few bottles of wine, excellent. We were told the table was booked in two and a half hours, by which time we had finished and moved to the bar. We spent approx £210 which would have been missed had we done as asked and returned another day! I could not help but note the dulled atmosphere as other people also had missed the opportunity of a table as they had been booked so left empty - two tables were empty all night ! I hope the management do read this review as the criticism is a constructive one. This is still one of the best places in the area, you have a formal dinner, a bar dinner and the Terrace - magnificent but as a business owner may I say, if it ain't broke don't fix it!!! Changes are best left up to the chef!! I would never leave a bad review as the food and staff are brilliant, just hope you can see the issue. But well done to all your staff. See you next week

Part of the Trout Hotel,relaxed good atmosphere,very good food can be eaten in or outside if the weather is good

If you don't want a formal meal in the trout just go through to the terrace,fantastic menu, good atmosphere reasonable prices,children welcome

We went here because a visiting family member doesn't eat gluten or dairy and thought they would be able to cater for their needs. How right we where nothing was a problem to them and all requests where met with a smile and can do attitude. The food was good and although portion sizes maybe smaller than some places they where fine. For me the service was very professional and the prices not too over the top. Job done.

We ate here before the floods in 2009 and didn't rate the food what so ever. Then we visited again after the floods when it re-opened and was again disappointed. I had a butternut squash risotto, it was bland and tasted chalky so had it sent back. My husbands chicken fajitas were poor, the tortillas were so dry that when he was rolling the chicken etc inside the bread just cracked and broke, so that got sent back too. Never visited for a few years after that and recently went this summer for lunch with friends. Wasn't my choice for lunch but went with it. Ordered the open smoked salmon sandwich and chips, couldn't fault the chips but half way through my sandwich came across a half moon shaped piece of hard plastic in it. Sent it back, they did give me another one. Could of been a different story if I hadn't of spotted it or if a child had been eating it. So again that put me off going again. Had family up from Manchester last week who have kids. Last minute we all decided we would go out for tea. Only place I could think of in Cockermouth that welcomes kids and you didn't have to book was the terrace bar, so off we went. I thought having not ate dinner here for a very long time we would give it one last chance. My husband and others ordered steak & ale pie I ordered the warm salad with new potatoes and mushrooms. Sounded quite nice and was picking carefully as I knew our past experiences. How ever, the salad came and looked like a bowl of grease which it pretty much was! Not refreshing how a salad should be! It was gritty as the spinach I presume hadn't been washed properly. My husband said the pie was bland but the chips were nice. I make nicer food at home and I'm not a chef. They really need to up there game here on the food as it should be better if not nicer than what you can make. It's a shame really as its a nice place inside with the decor and outside is a nice setting. Really overrated. And we won't be going again. That was the 4th chance and still disappointed with it. Shame really!

Good food, great service and fantastic atmosphere. We have visited several times for food and drinks and the terrace never disappoints! No need to book either. Never had a bad meal. The court yard in summer is great to sit out for lunch or dinner and great place for drinks with friends. The terrace also serves food all day. If you visit Cockermouth I would recommend this as place for food.

We went to the terrace bar and were greeted and shown to a table straight away, the service was very good, and couldn't be happier to help. The food was very good as all 4 of us enjoyed our meals. Would defiantly recommend this place.

Fantastic place staff were great and ready to catch your eye if you needed anything, food was fantastic.

Brilliant food and a great ambience! Visited twice and could not fault anything! Can't wait to visit again when we come back!

Everything on menu was such good value and it all looked mouth watering when it came. Which we did not wait long for. It was served by lovely polite staff

Great food. We had the sausage,bacon & mushroom kebabs to start absouloutley great highly recommend. Then steak and chicken fajitas. Both were cooked to perfection. Will definately be going back. Service was excellent.

We ordered room service as the bar was quite busy, and ordered North Sea Cod and Chips. This arrived within 15 minutes and piping hot with excellent service from the delivery team. A must visit place to eat if you're in the area.

We regularly eat and drink here as we think it's one of the best places in the town. Always has a good atmosphere to it with a mix of all ages of people. Food and drink lovely and Stephen always takes good care of us, being friendly but discreet as well. A favourite!

Love spending Saturday afternoons here with my wife and friends, always fresh choice, great service and high quality food. Add to this the fabulous atmosphere with great wine and a special time is had. Well done to Stephen and the staff - see you next week !

I love it here! It has a really nice atmosphere and the food is gorgeous! It's especially nice in the summer months when you can sit outside and enjoy the large outside space. The last time we visited it was really busy but they still managed to find us a table and the service is great too.

Went on Saturday night. It was heaving which is always a good sign. Manage to find a table for two - the staff were rushed off their feet but still extremely helpful.We both had steak and ale pie. It was really lovely - maybe just a little burned? But that's just me nit picking. No issues with this place. They know what they do and they do it well. We will return. Hats off to the waiting on and bar staff. They're great.

I must be the number one customer, my friends and I love going here. Menu changes regularly so new dishes come and go but they keep the favourites on which is good. Good prices and good selcetion, lovely staff.

Great service food brill and filling we all had a great time and went away happy. Three of us had Cumberland sausage which are full to the brim! One had a gluten free bread again good. Must be our 10th visit will come back for food and the atmosphere.

Great place to have a leisurely lunch with a bottle of wine or two, the fish is fabulous and well presented.

Visited the Terrace Bar, 13/10/14 for my wife's birthday. Two of us ordered Steak and Ale pie, when they arrived the veg was cold and the inners of the pie were stone cold. When we complained the waitress tried to blame the ongoing kitchen repairs.About twenty minutes later we received hot, overcooked and burnt steak in the pies.We were given a 50% discount off the bill, which was appreciated, however almost twelve months earlier my wife had frozen meatballs served to her. The kitchens were not being modified then!How can you fail to serve hot food!

My wife & I enjoyed an excellently presented meal in this well situated & atmospheric restaurant.Service was very good, & the food was delicious, as well as very competitively priced for the quality.The atmosphere was pleasantly quiet, & the surroundings comfortable.

モダンな英国料理を提供する店。肉類の火の通し方もよく、盛り付けもきれいなので、イギリス料理に偏見のある方は是非。雰囲気もサービスもよくこの街ではオススメのレストランです。好みの問題ですが、地元のエールビールをガンガンに冷えた状態で提供している数少ない店です。

Visited here twice, both times with my partner. The building itself and the decor is lovely and modern. The general quality of the food is good also. But there are a few bad points.. The staff always seem to have no interest in the customer and our experience. We were given menus at the table without a word spoken and no smile. In the first visit i ordered the lasagne, which when it came, it was served on a wooden board. I am guessing that this is a certain way of dining, but to me it was a massive inconvenience. I like having my food on one plate, so I really struggled to enjoy my food. My partner had steak and ale pie, which he said, was average. He could barely taste the ale. We had two meals and a drink each, and although I cannot remember the exact price of the bill, I know it was expensive. I felt as though I paid through the nose for an average meal! The staff need to work on their customer service and the meals need to be better quality. Haven't been back since.

Great filling food, well presented and good value! Relaxed atmosphere despite it being v busy due to Cockermouth show!! Next time pudding too :) oh & afternoon tea looks amazing!

Lovely food, good atmosphere. Quick and prompt service. The prices are reasonable. Staff are very friendly.

Had a lovely lunch in the terrace on Monday, before having a wander round Cockermouth, Would recommend the baguettes we had a steak and onion one and a smoked chicken and bacon. Lovely atmosphere and surroundings

Having visited The Terrace numerous times I thought it's time to write a review as we have never had a bad meal here! The food is lovely, staff are friendly although sometimes a littele slow but that never stops us from coming back again and again. Nice, chilled atmosphere especially when the sun is shining, you can sit down by the river or chill out in the big garden area, or take shade in the terrace patio. Anywhere you decide to sit you will enjoy as the food is so lovely. Very welcoming with families and children too. 10/10

Service is very good with prices comparable to other Hotel chains. Menu straight forward but food really nice!

I have visited The Terrace many times for lunch and different times throughout the day and have always had a good experience.Good choice of food, some items maybe a little over- priced but on the whole reasonable. Lovely furnishings and a nice quiet environment. Food always good, served on nice plates which makes a difference to me! I will be visiting more often over the summer after being left dissatisfied with other local restaurants.

Called into the Terrace for lunch today. The setting is very pleasant, we chose a big sofa which was very comfortable. Quiet atmosphere, which made conversation easy. The only disturbance was the audible shouts of "service" from the Kitchen, surely there is a better system?Food was good, had one dish from the main menu and another lunchtime special. good value and drinks did not sting you under £1.50 for half a soft drink. Would go again.

I was recommended this place by a local, I was not disappointed. I had the scotch egg starter, awesome and the meat pie to follow was also very good.

Brilliant selection on Menu - could have stayed longer and worked my way through the choices. Did not have a bad meal. The breakfast was excellent too.

Came to The Terrace for my husband's birthday, just the two of us. We were given nice seats and there was a lovely atmosphere as several other diners were already in situ. The menu sounded amazing if a bit simple, but we loved the references to locally sourced food so was looking forward to a very good meal. Here comes the 'but'. It appears that the management are all about the anticipation because the food was basic. Simple food is great if it's done well, but our meals were the type of rhing that you could find in any decent pub. Again this is not necessarily a bad thing, but when the bill came to over £70 we felt a bit hard done by. Service isn't great either. We finished our drinks and had to go to the bar to order more because nobody came to check on us.

I live in cockermouth and have visited the terrace bar 3/4 times, and been unhappy every time. The most recent time I had the pork saltimbocca. ... very salty bland polenta, that is said to be creamed (its not) I had to send it back. My partners stir fry was also salty but we didn't want to complain about both. The girl serving was lovely and we were looked after well. She changed my meal without fuss. I will not be back there are nicer places to eat in cockermouth.

We are local and often call to the bar for a glass of wine and something to eat. The food is of a good standard though both wine and food are on the pricey side, however not unusual for hotel prices. There is a good sized outdoor seating area for summer nights and you can often call in by chance and get a seat to eat if you are prepared to wait a few minutes. The staff are friendly and they can take their time sometimes but as long as you are not in a rush, it is a good place to be.

Sunday evening, six of us called in for meal. We found the surroundings, food, price and the staff all fantastic. The citronella candles helped with the insects flying around, it was a warm summer night and we were sitting outside. We are planning to go again very soon. Thank you all at The Terrace Bistro.

We came here as a last minute decision on a Friday night, as part of my friends leaving party. It was around 8.30pm and was very busy outside as the weather was nice. There were a group of 9 of us so we had to put two tables together. We were lucky to get a seat as these two tables were the only ones empty. There isn't much room outside and they pack the tables in so we were a bit cramped. We all wanted different things so we decided to split into 3 groups to order & share food. My group (5 of us) decided to order some nibbles to share. We ordered mini pizzas, chips, brie dippers, garlic bread and nachos. When we tried to order at the bar we were told no food until after 9pm as it was too busy, only bar snacks (nuts, olives & crisps etc). We were a bit disappointed so they relented and took our food order. Bizarrely, another group of ours were able to order a main meal, so this no food till after 9pm thing was a bit conflicting! Our food came quite quickly, but the other food ordered by the other two groups on our table was very slow to arrive even though they ordered straight after us. It was very busy so this is probably why the service was slow, but there didn't seem to be many staff working either. We really enjoyed our food, it was tasty and there was plenty of it. We split the bill and the food came to just over £5 each for 5 of us so this was good value (main meal priced looked quite expensive). The staff were pleasant enough, but one guy was very good, he even took photographs for us, and asked us what the occasion was so that was nice. It was nice to sit outside and the atmosphere was good. The only downside was that there were a lot of flies and midges about so that was annoying, but when the weathers warm and there is food about, I suppose this can only be expected.
