The Trout Hotel in Allerdale - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Don’t get me wrong, I like The Trout and have had some excellent meals here however having visited family in Whitehaven and returning to Yorkshire we detoured to The Trout for something delicious to eat. Both opting for the Sunday roast with one having beautifully cooked beef, still pink in the middle I ordered the half roast chicken. It was neither roasted nor half a chicken but an unsliced flavorless chicken breast that at best was perhaps pan fried, I was disappointed. The gravy was more wine and herb flavoured as opposed to meat flavoured which again was a little disappointing. On the up though the vegetables were cooked well except the roasties needed to be crispier and the mash creamier. When next eating at The Trout on a Sunday I’m going to pass on the roast thank you. I noted previous reviews for the roast dinner were from 2020 and 2019 so a more current review I felt was necessary.

How can a once great place become sooo bad so quickly. Shocking service, terrible food at extortionate prices. All the friendly local staff have gone, replaced by guess what and the whole place feels unfriendly and soulless....never again!!

Lovely food... The drinks were quite expensive and the staff very friendly. It's a nice place to go for a special occasion. A bit pricey for what you get but overall I would recommend.

We stated at the Trout hotel on the15th june for 2 nights. My wife is in a wheelchair so we decided to call room service to make it easier, unfortuatley no one answered the phone, so i went with our order to the bar to see if i could find anyone, the resturant manager took our orderbut gave no explanation as to why no one answered phone. Next morn we went for breakfast but to our shock there was a makeshift 45' ramp goung up to the breakfast room so i pushed her up with great difficulty, after brsakfast i went to wheel her down the damp and because it was set on an angle and not sqare we nearly came off the side of ramp, extremly dangerous, Alison the breakfast manager came to our aid and was fantastic and she reported to manager and the next time we went it had gone so weel done Alison as she has helped save a serious accident happening. The resturant manager who i saw previos eve was not the best people person and never smiled once,maybe Alison could do a better job as nothing was to much trouble. Apart from that all was good.

My experience at the Trout Hotel was to be served some of the worst food I have ever had in a so called 4 star restaurant. All the courses were the same, terrible. Never going back, a disgrace to the culinary art of dining out .

Lunch at The Trout. We both ordered exactly the same, the steak baguette with Dijon mustard mayo with a side order of skin on fries and two diet cokes. When we ordered we were the only people in the bar area. After about 25 mins our food arrived, no sign of the drinks, so we asked a passing waiter to chase up our drinks. The baguettes were beige in colour, very doughy and tasteless, there was very little steak and a blob of mayo, no Dijon at all. The manager realised that we still hadn’t received our drinks, he apologised and removed one of the baguettes from our bill. Honestly, best part of the meal was the drinks. We have a business in Cockermouth so are regularly asked for recommendations for lunch, sadly we will no longer be recommending the Trout

Recently visited the area and had a breakfast on a walk in basis. It was really nice and staff were very friendly. It is a little on the expensive side though.

We had dinner for three in the Terrace Bar on Saturday 17th February 2024. Starters goats cheese and chive soufflé, tasty but small for £10.50, garlic bread with mozzarella and salt and pepper squid were lovely. Chicken burger was good but frozen fries for £18. Chicken curry was nice but with two nan breads smaller than a biscuit? The duo of pork is supposed to come with crushed potatoes but was served with mash? The food standard overall was average and expensive for what we got, we ordered a dressed salad with our meal, it never came plus my daughter was asked if she wanted extra sauce for her burger, she asked for ketchup and that didn’t arrive either. Two chocolate brownie desserts with coffee at £8.50 each, were disappointing, small hard brownies, not worth the money, had much nicer elsewhere. The servers were friendly and apologetic and my daughter got a free drink to compensate. Overall, we were not overly impressed, the environment deserves much better food and service, it’s a longtime since we ate here and we won’t be back in a hurry.

Me and my family go here quite often for dinner and the waiters there are awfully funny and kind. They provide quick service. The food is always at a good temperature and is delicious. There has never been a problem here for us and the toilets are nice and clean.

My daughter and I booked afternoon tea. Small slice of shop bought fruit cake and mince pie, tiny cheese sandwich also cheap tuna, hard scones. Had to ask 3 times for milk for the very weak tea extra teabag asked for, waitress bought them in her hand disgusting. Never again and would not recommend

We ended up in the Trout Hotel on a Monday night as most of the other restaurants were closed. However, we was so glad as we have never received better, or attentive service, from any other waiter. The food was nice, bur our Waiter, Steven, made our meal. Great to see good old fashion service. Thank you Steven.

Quite extensive, well balanced menu, with decent quality food, locally sourced whenever possible. Staff are always pleasant, helpful and efficient. Not the cheapest in town, but a good place to eat.

Went for dinner when staying in the area. We have previously stayed there 3 times over last 6 years. Our visit did not start well, the car park was completely full and we had to park some distance away on the main street. It was a very wet night and we were soaked by the time we got into the restaurant. Arrived at the dining room,advised a membef of staff we had a reservation, he checked and then pointed to a table. Never said a word!! Dining room very dark, dismal and very old fashioned. Just 6 other diners, not at all busy. No ambience at. Menu very dull and uninspiring and again old fashioned. Little choice for vegetarians. Service was competent but charmless. Both our meals were tepid at best, my chips undercooked soggy and inedible. Very sad by this experience. The Trout was once excellent but it is now 3 rate charmless old fashioned and dull. We paid £55 for a meal of 2 main courses, 2 beers and a coffee, very very expensive. Much better restaurants in Cockermouth, this one should be avoided

Where to start?! Terrible service. 1 1/2 hours for a meal to be served then one meal, fish, was undercooked. Sent back and still not received 20 minutes later so told to forget it. 20 minutes for a round of drinks and the empty glasses were not removed until asked to be taken away. £7 for a pint of lager and nearly £5 for a pint of flat lemonade. Mediocre 1980s style food massively overpriced. Do not spend your money here

Decided to visit on a Sunday evening as we had not long arrived locally and although there were mixed reviews, most seemed to be in regards to afternoon tea and room bookings. There was some minor bumps over finding a table as I hadn’t booked online but we were seated cordially in a window. Drinks could have been simplified, the order of a slimline tonic came with no ice or lemon and the diet cola came flat and from the pump. I asked for this to be changed to a bottle and it came as the full sugar variety but at that point I wasn’t going to send it back. Food ordering was simple enough although our server didn’t know what the ‘of the day’ dishes were, my partner had the steamed muscles and I took the quiche with salad. For my part (after a 6 hour trek from Essex) I was grateful for food, however given the price tag, it was lacking. Side salad - tasty, plus one point, New Potatoes - pre cooked and blasted in the microwave so the inside had a gelatinous quality before being drenched in buttery oil, minus one point, Quiche - overcooked, the pastry was more akin to a tin, not so much crumble in the mouth as shatter on the plate. While I do eat with a knife and fork it took strength with the knife to break the pastry apart. The filling was over cooked and the cheese had crusted at the edges with a lasagna like quality, the interior texture was between egg and a dry rice pudding. The decor is gracious, greys and contemporary patterns, but there is little attention to cleaning. Cobwebs hung from the window we were seated as well as from the picture frames. Looking down at the authentic cast iron radiator I was aware of the dust and food debris around it. Maybe they deep clean in the week (?) We didn’t stop past the mains, paid the bill and left. A testament to disappointment and an allergy to lazy cooking. Yes I could have complained to the team but I didn’t feel that it would be well received on the basis that if the kitchen is happy to send the food out like this, they are unlikely to appreciate the finer points of a critique.

Stayed overnight, unfortunately after travelling six hours we arrived to be told our booking.com reservation was cancelled and they didn’t have any other booking for us , however this was rectified when we showed our confirmation and we were upgraded to a suite . What we didn’t like was having to walk through the lounge where people were eating with all our luggage and being stared at , very embarrassing. Also we got in the way of the restaurant staff with our luggage. Bad layout. The suite itself was lovely however it was so noisy on the main road I got no sleep that night . The hotel is expensive £200 for a night and as we are vegan unfortunately breakfast was just fruit so we didn’t bother . Room service cost £10 for a tray whether you just wanted a sandwich which is a bit expensive so we didn’t bother.Hotel was easy to find and free car park , however it’s also a busy restaurant and bar so we were lucky to get the last free space , no idea what we would have done if it was full. !! We met some locals who told us Bing Crosby used to stay there and fish in the lake .

The Afternoon Tea was very disappointing for the price charged £19.00. It consisted of 2 tiny sandwiches of cheese and ham, a little Quich which was dry, and a small pig in blanket. The rest was cakes that some were very dry and were left, 1 pot of weak tea between 2 and no milk. Will not return

Booked afternoon tea on Sunday. Should have been a nice treat, but I think, due to staffing issues we were really disappointed. I even had to look for a waiter for tea and coffee refills, ending up with the lady on the reception saying that she would get it for me. The food was ok but nothing special, all in all we felt like a bit of a nuisance. There was nothing special about this experience!!

Have been dining at The Trout over the last 4 years. Car park completely full and had to park on the main street some distance away. On arrival no staff in the restaurant we had to go and find someone tobbook us in and seat us. Only 2 staff serving the whole restaurant, but they were very efficient, drinks arrived quickly, order taken and food arrived in a reasonable time. Comprehensive menu, meals nicely presented and of a good size.

Had 2 fantastic meals at The Trout during our stay in Cockermouth. Great choice of food, such friendly service. Waiters and waitresses very busy but that didn't affect the service or the standard of food. Very attentive to our party and remembered us from our visit a couple of nights previously. Would certainly recommend eating there.

The service was excellent, Steve and another young lady, who's name I didn't catch. They couldn't have been more helpful. Shame that the food let them down a bit. I ordered "CRISPY PORK AND BLACK PUDDING WITH APPLE SAUCE". The meat was like a pulled pork mixed with some black pudding. A smear of apple sauce on top with some SMALL crumbs of crackling on top and not many of them either. Very disappointed in the meal. My wife had the roast dinner and that was very good, (I had some of it as my meal was very small). She had a pudding which was very dry, so much so that she had to use the milk from the coffee to soften it up. Coffee was very good .

Me any fiancé came to The Trout for date night and we will be rushing to go back. We where coming to cockermouth for a meal and the menu here was definetly the deciding factor when we where chosing where to go. We really struggled to decide what we wanted to order in the best way. The waiter was so friendly and attentive, the food was delicious, I would especially recommend the souffle. I was even chuffed with the cocktail menu that had my faveourite drink (a gin martini) which you rarely see on menues in the area. We cannot wait to come back!

Way overpriced, £80 with a bottle of wine for 1 course for 2. I had fish with mash and peas. The mash tasted like it had been warmed up from the day before and there was way too much of it, as well as the...

My favourite place in Cockermouth, the trout is so reliable! Friendly staff, gorgeous food, gorgeous venue, a real all rounder! Keep up the good work!!

Will be leaving this review on both their trip advisor business profiles. I suggest people read the reviews on both. The trout has declined year after year for its quality and its service. The quality goes down while the prices go up. DO NOT GO...

Good menu, quantity food, helpful staff and good ambience in a nice clean and extensive restaurant. Eat as a family of four and would recommend this restaurant.

Really good fish and chips in a lovely courtyard. Food and Staff where really great. Need some decent beer to make it a 5* Guinness and a decent lager is a must.

Afternoon Tea. We recently came along to the Trout for afternoon tea. This is an honest review / feedback to a local hotel which we know could do better on something so easy to prepare. There was no offer of any variation of tea (ie...

Este es un hotel encantador, un hermoso entorno, en el río.Excepcionalmente limpio y se tomaron medidas adicionales con respecto a COVID - 19.Habitaciones y amplias y confortablesDesayuno excepcional, mucha variedad considerando las restricciones bajo las cuales se encuentran. ¡Los mejores huevos Benedict!Restaurante bien organizado con mucho espacio entre mesas pero no pierde su ambiente.La cena fue tan buena como el desayuno, de nuevo con mucha variedad teniendo en cuenta las circunstancias, comida fresca y bien preparada.El personal es amable y servicial.Definitivamente volveré a visitar.

Estoy escribiendo esta reseña basándome en mi experiencia, no en otras personas de mi grupo.No me gusta dejar críticas negativas, pero siento que esta es una cuenta honesta de mi comida. Fui con amigos ya que estábamos en una estancia de una noche en la zona. Bebidas ordenadas, entrantes y platos principales. El primer plato que se trajo era el equivocado cuando se trajo a la mesa, pero la camarera lo dejó allí para que los demás lo compartieran y no cobró por ello, así que no hay problema.Pedí un filete de solomillo raro, que leyó como medio, así que la corrigí. Cuando salí era mediano, pero hubiera sido difícil conseguirlo tan raro por lo delgado que era, así que solo puse mi mantequilla para humedecerlo.El hongo era uno pequeño con un tomate cherry en la parte superior, que básicamente lo cubría con algunas hojas de ensalada verde encima. Las patatas fritas estaban bien.No dije nada porque estaba con amigos que no había visto en mucho tiempo y no quería estropear su noche, y fue su recomendación que fuéramos aquí.Por el precio que pagué por la comida, honestamente no creo que valiera la pena, en comparación con el mismo bistec que comí en otro hotel durante mi viaje por la zona.

Hoy almorzamos aquí en un día muy húmedo. Nos adelantaron la reserva casi una hora porque llegamos temprano. Distanciamiento social muy cuidadosamente observado y mantenido, la desinfección de las mesas fue buena. El menú era variado en precio y lo que se ofrecía. La comida era excelente y bien presentada. La Trout nunca nos ha defraudado en todos los años que llevamos aquí. Bien hecho. Recomendaría.

La comida que se ofrece en el Trout es excelente y el personal es atento.Nos alojamos por 3 noches y comimos en el restaurante cada noche. Hay mucho en el menú y toda la comida estaba bien presentada y sabrosa.A pesar de comer alrededor de las 8 pm el domingo, la cena del domingo fue realmente fresca y una de las mejores que hemos tenido.Un pequeño inconveniente fue que no había cerveza Wainwright todo el tiempo que estuvimos allí.

I asked for my steak medium rare and it came well done, don’t even get me started on the ‘fried mushroom’ it came with. It was the size of a haribo egg!! Really good service though. 😤

Una reserva de última hora este domingo por la noche. El personal se aseguró de que hicieran todo lo posible para encajar con nosotros y de la suerte que tuvimos de que lo lograran. Cuatro de nosotros comimos el asado del domingo, el otro miembro de nuestro grupo había pescado rebozado. ¡Todo estaba delicioso! Normalmente no dejo comentarios, pero sentí que tenía que hacerlo después de haber pasado mi última noche en un entorno tan impresionante, con comida deliciosa y un personal realmente amable. Volveremos y definitivamente lo recomendaría.

¿Solo vine a tomar una copa, pero fue por recomendación de mi elegante tía que vive en Bowness?Lugar agradablePoshness de gama alta todos los adornosSe sienta en el río tan encantadoras bebidas junto al río en un día agradableReservamos para una comida en 4 semanas, ¿así que estamos ansiosos por eso?

Went in Sunday afternoon for coffee and pastries , the waiter said pastries would be 15 mins to heat up, this was fine but they served up teas and coffees and we all finished these and still no sign of pastries a hour later. We cancelled them and they offered a free coffee and tea but still pastries did not arrive, their excuse was short staffed. Very disappointed the coffee just tasted like hot milk and never got pastries.

Sunday lunch with great food and service. An excellent all round place with friendly staff in a great place. Thank you.

Visited today with my husband for Sunday lunch, we live quite local but had never dined at The Trout before. It didn't disappoint. We ate in the Terrace Bistro. Service was good and friendly staff. Avocado salad and garlic mushrooms were our starters, roast beef with lovely Yorkshires and all the trimmings. We didn't have dessert. 2 courses and drinks for under £45, really well priced.Handy free car park at the hotel too. We will certainly return and would recommend to others.

We had dinner with friends here and chose the restaurant rather than the bar grill but very disappointed with our meal, small portion almost no vegetables and not cheapI just think they need to up their game because Cockermouth have lots of places to eat

Nice festive surroundings. Staff helpful and friendly. Had to wait a while for our afternoon tea to arrive but was nice and tasty when it did. The prawn cocktail and Christmas sandwich were delicious.

This was my dad and mine third visit to the trout in the last 12 months. (We've been here every time he's come to stay with me, which is not something we usually do as we enjoy eatting at new places)Staff are always friendly and attentive. The decor is absolutely beautiful, Christmas decorations are stunning. atmosphere is wonderful.The food....Locally sourced food which is fresh, everything is made to order which is excellent for me as I have allergies, which have never been a problem here but have been elsewhere when meals are pre prepared. .The flavours are always excellent and the food well cooked and well presented. Good choice of drinks and lovely cocktails. Certainly will be eatting there again

Siempre es un placer almorzar aquí, pero especialmente agradable cuando es el almuerzo de Navidad y el hotel está decorado de manera hermosa (como siempre) para Navidad.Era parte de un 'regalo' para mi anciana madre, a quien le gusta venir aquí, así que comimos en el Bistro Bar.La elección de la comida fue excelente. Había el menú normal del almuerzo y un menú de Navidad. Ambos elegimos del menú navideño: sopa de chirivía al curry y canelones de salmón y cangrejo. Luego ambos cenamos en Turquía. Todo estuvo excelente.El servicio fue muy eficiente, muy amable y servicial. Fue un verdadero placer almorzar allí.El crédito también debe ir a la gerencia del hotel para crear una experiencia tan encantadora.

El Trout Hotel se presenta como algo lujoso y muy profesional, y el bar es muy inteligente. El servicio era perfecto y tenían una excelente selección de bebidas, incluidas tres cervezas de verdad. Teníamos el Wainwright's, que era muy bueno, aunque un poco más caro de lo que pagaba en el pub.Como van los bares del hotel, esto fue muy agradable; pero es el bar del hotel, lo que significa que no se obtiene el ambiente acogedor de un pub.

First class Hotel Room first class. Food,service.all first class Bar & restaurant could not bettered. All staff were wonderfully.

Visited for a wedding! Hotel was beautiful, staff were very warm, welcoming, friendly and accommodating! Food the night before was excellent, as was the food at the wedding! Would stay again as a couple for an even more relaxed chance to appreciate cockermouth.

Reservamos para quedarnos aquí como una noche de último minuto y ¡qué lugar tan encantador es! ! El personal excepcional, la habitación impecable y la comida simplemente increíble! Comimos en el restaurante por la noche y nos impresionaron de principio a fin. Nos dieron el servicio de habitaciones para el desayuno, fue entregado rápido, caliente y nada era un problema para el personal. En general, nuestra estancia fue perfecta y justo lo que necesitábamos para relajarnos y relajarnos, ¡gracias a todos!

I visited The Trout for the first time with friends, with reasonably high, but slightly reserved expectations. The food and service was OK - steak was nice enough but the chips weren't as good as they could be. Service was OK in the main but unattentive at times. Range of ales was rather limited, as I recall.

We ate in the restaurant last night and had th best chateaubriand I I’ve had in the last ten years plus the Béarnaise sauce was homemade and was a credit to the chef.

We had several very good meal , lunch and dinner, service changed but always between excellent and very good. The food, e.g the Sunday roast, great. The location is also very good and it’s worth the money and these are not a lot

Came mid week for lunch with my mum. The trout itself is a lovely building and decorated to a high standard.

This was our 3rd visit to the Trout Hotel over the last 12 months. Whilst I can't fault the service and quality of food, we were a little disappointed with the menu. There is quite a lot of repititon of the same dishes over the visits we've made.

We have been to the Teout several times but this time we decided to push the boat out and book a Junior Suite with river view, room 108. It didn't disappoint! The room was luxurious, its bathroom was very large with double sinks, drench shower and large bath. We had a large settee and chair in the bedroom. The view was fantastic! We only stayed for 1 night. The rate was inclusive of a £28.50 credit per person for the restaurant and bistro. For this you could have the excellent set menu and coffee. There was also an a la cart menu which included fillet steak. The Trout has been closed and refurbished over recent years as ther have been 2 major floods in Cockermouth. As a result, the newly refurbished hotel and village are very smart! We would certainly go again.

Just called in for a quick drink to avoid the lines at the show’s beer tent. Had our dog with us but dogs not allowed in hotel although they provide drinking water at the back door. Fortunately it was a nice day and dogs allowed in their beautiful gardens.

Visited the bistro on a saturday night, was staying in cockermouth but not at the trout hotel. On arriving was unsure of where to go but asked at the desk and they phoned through for us to book a table, this is a lot bigger inside than it looks from outside. We enjoyed our meal the food was very good, lots of choice on the menu. Younger staff were friendly.

Went here for an spur of the moment Sunday dinner for 9 people. Good service and really nice menu and very good value for money. Would definitely go back

It pains me to write this but our recent visit to the Trout was a really bad experience. We had visited a couple other times over the last 18 months and noticed the quality of the food and service had declined but refrained from writing a review in the hope that it was a 'bad spell'. Clearly, it looks to now be normality. We have been good customers of the Trout for many years, having got married here years ago, returning for regular meals in the restaurant, terrace bar and overnight stays. My review and two previous bad experiences are involving the Terrace Bar as we have refrained from booking the restaurant again until we seen improvement.

From the main road the hotel looks a bit dated, however when you enter the hotel from the car park the fittings are modern and luxurious. We had lunch in the bar area where we were greeted by very friendly young staff.We opted for the three tapas for £15.00 (calamari,beautiful plump succulent king prawns and tempura soft shell crab). We also had two main specials for £12.00 of smoked haddock risotto and a huge home made chicken burger and chips.All of the dishes were excellent and nicely presented-well done chef. There is also a beer garden and tables and chairs where you could sit by the river on a nice day.Excellent lunch with the added bonus of parking in the centre of Cockermouth. Can recommend.

As regulars to the Trout we can't praise the dining experience enough! In the Bistro the regular & tapas menu is very good. The 'specials' menu is more adventurous & a real treat - the lobster & crayfish linguine was superb. Congratulations to the chef, who always delivers and to the waiting staff who are very friendly & genuinely seem interested in the food. I'm informed the beer is well kept & here too the staff are knowledgeable about their product. Thanks to all.

Called in for lunch to use a gift voucher received at Christmas. Excellent location and parking facilities by the river in the centre of Cockermouth. Very nice smart décor throughout and very clean. Very pleasant staff, excellent food and sensible prices. Hope to return soon

Visited The Trout for a bar/bistro meal whilst in Cockermouth and were warmly welcomed by the staff. As it was midweek it was fairly quiet with some regular travellers dining but service was good albeit relaxed.

Nos presentamos en el Trout a las 3 pm en un día festivo los domingos por la tarde después de un largo paseo por los lagos y recibimos una cálida bienvenida "¿Está bien si entramos en nuestro equipo de caminata? "Sí, por supuesto, venga, no hay problema"

Booked for an evening meal in The Terrace restaurant. Relaxed feel. Good menu. Chose tapas £15 for 3 dishes plus sides. Large portions! Didn’t need the side dishes. Nicely presented. Would visit again.

M y D habían visitado el restaurante 2 semanas antes y lo disfrutaron. Me acerqué y todos fuimos juntos como trío al restaurante. La comida era tan buena. Me gustó el iniciador de salmón me recordó a mi tatatar de atún favorito. Filetes muy bien cocinados. Yum Postres excelentes y gran tabla de quesos. Café y buen brandy. ¿No conducir? Lo recomiendo totalmente y desde mi visita una tabla de cuatro han regresado, familia más 2.

Lunch for 4 with 2 in their nineties. Lunch was excellent - one steak, one steak and ale pie and two fish and chips - all very good both quantity and quality. Puddings much less impressive - my French Apple Tart was hardly recognisable as such with a bit of soggy pastry, and a few slices of dry apple on top. No filling and no glazing - and nowhere near as good as a traditional apple pie (does anywhere do this anymore?) . On the other hand the banana parfait looked ok (good feedback from Mum) and hubby enjoyed the porn star coppa - which i think he got purely because of the name (a good marketing ploy?).

Went for lunch and due to health issues was restricted to what I could eat. They adapted a meal for me. It was well cooked and tasty. Thank you for your help.

La trucha, tanto el restaurante como el hotel, es un lugar que muchos de nosotros creíamos que ya no existía: un personal maravilloso y eficiente, cortesía y atención a la antigua, además de una charla amistosa. Recientemente visitamos el Viernes Santo para almorzar, un glorioso día soleado con mucha gente comiendo y bebiendo afuera con excelentes vistas sobre el río desde el jardín. Disfrutamos de los 150 g de Solomillo para el almuerzo con una copa de excelente vino, filetes cocinados a la perfección según lo solicitado, uno con deliciosas papas fritas y uno con batatas fritas, ¡encantador! No se pierda la oportunidad de llamar si está en la zona.

Muy decepcionado por algunas de las comidas una noche. Las comidas de los niños estaban bien, pero básicas, mi pollo al curry era muy pobre, ¡el pollo estaba en cubos! ! Costó alrededor de 11, pero parecía y sabía como una comida congelada muy barata recalentada de un supermercado. He tenido comidas congeladas mucho mejores para 2. 50. El servicio fue muy lento, pero estaba bastante vacío. Demasiado caro para la comida mediocre. La comida vegetariana era mucho mejor.

This was a treat meal to celebrate my birthday and it did not disappoint!! The service was great and the food lovely. We dined in the Bistro and it was quite busy with some large family groups but we were well looked after. Highly recommended.

I had set up what I thought would be a lovely evening for us,dinner in the terrace bistro.We got glammed up for a posh night out arrived by taxi and walked through the hotel into the bar. That was the best part of the evening!!!

We love the food provided in the restaurant. Each dish is presented meticulously with the ingredients well thought out. The serving staff are great too, so helpful and friendly.

What a lovely Hotel run by exceptional people... a warm welcome that continues throughout your stay Vicky and her team at reception are so friendly and accommodating and this continues throughout the hotel

We stayed here for my birthday and it was great. The food was lovely, the drink was also nice. The atmosphere was good and the staff were helpful enough. The room was nice, the bathroom had under floor heating which I found exceptional as no other hotel I have stayed in has had this. The room was slightly dated, hence why I gave 4 stars. The bed was comfortable enough, however we expected a more modern room for the price of it.

Highly recommend. There was a choice of 3 areas to eat, the restaurant, the bistro and the terrace. We'll definitely return with our family.

It is many years since we used to frequent The Trout but on our visit to Cockermouth we decided to check out the current bar food.

Called in for lunch in the terrace with family, lovely surroundings, good service and interesting menu let down by tasteless food. Such a shame as used to really enjoy eating here.

Our friends booked this place for dinner. First problem was the car park was full and we had to find somewhere to park on the streets. The place was extremely busy and buzzing. There seemed to be lots going on with parties of people enjoying themselves which was nice and contributed to a really good atmosphere. We were booked into the bar as the brasserie was full. We were seated quickly and drinks orders taken. Staff were really lovely and very efficient. There was an extensive menu, including the a la carte and a specials menu which you could mix and match. Three of us had starters - one rumbledethump with a friend egg, one bread and butter pudding savory and one hot smoked salmon. These all arrived, beautifully presented. The hot smoked salmon was a bit on the meagre side but the other two were quite substantial. Mains included the venison burger with pear and blue cheese which was an odd mix but it seemed to work, two of us had the risotto which was very tasty. Desserts were chosen, one Ecclefechan tart with clotted cream and one lime coppa. Two of our party had coffee which arrived with home made shortbread which was very lovely. Our waiter produced two more pieces of shortbread for those of us who werent having coffee which was a nice touch. With wine the bill came to £107, which was very reasonable. A really lovely evening.

We booked for the New Year's evening banquet and disco. The food was really excellent (fine dining) with good range of local beers, and staff who wanted to give their customers a memorable night. We could not fault any part of the evening. We would return if we are in the area again.

First time I’ve ever ate at the Trout, we visit most Fridays after work for drinks but never eat. We got the steak & the cod. Both were absolutely amazing! Melt in your mouth! Will 100% be back!

Just spent 2 wonderful nights at The Trout. From arriving to departing nothing was too much trouble.

22 of us has a lovely afternoon at the Trout. Innovative starters and desserts. The main meal was faultless. Beautifully cooked and presented with mince pies and coffee to follow.

Great value Afternoon Tea at The Trout. All fresh and homemade. A great selection served on your own 3 tiered stand. Refillable coffee/Tea was plentiful and good service throughout.

Attended the trout on a works Xmas party.. atmosphere was great, gorgeous decorations throughout the whole hotel.

Visited the Trout on Wednesday for family catch up cannot folt staff verry alternative even staff assisted with my elderly Mum thank you all very much food was loverly

A very tasty lunch with family. Welcoming staff, cosy eating areas. Three of us had a very tasty lunch, large portions but not too pricey. Would recommend a visit

Absolutely loved this visit whilst staying in a lodge nearby. Most of us had sunday lunch but normal menu was still available. All meals were beautiful and the whole hotel was wonderful. Thoroughly recommend.

Some of the staff here just dont seem to care and have a grump/bad attitude which you obviously don’t want when coming to experience this restaurant. The time we were here the food took ages to arrive but it was tasty so a little redemption

Fabulous food and lovely staff good choice and great desserts very helpful staff in bars and restaurants

Llegamos a una reunión de trabajo, teníamos un bufé antes de empezar a habilitar la creación de redes y tomar un poco de té, la comida fue excelente lo recomendaría sumamente. Las habitaciones estaban bellamente decoradas y la disposición era ideal para que todos pudieran interactuar en la reunión. Lo recomendaría para futuros eventos.

Poor menu selection Staff unfriendly/ grumpy No one came to check the food was ok No condiments offered Very disappointed with our visit Will not be returning

We spent a night here as a wedding present and we were not disappointed. Lovely hotel, clean, tidy and up to date. The tapas food from the bar is to die for! The staff were very welcoming and friendly. And it’s in a beautiful location. Would definitely come back for another visit.

Lovely food very clean staff very helpful did not stay here but used restaurant. Recommend trying .10 minutes walk from main street and William Words worth birth place .
