The Yellow Earl in Copeland

Went in for a quick dinner and couldn’t be happier. The food was outstanding, I got a turkey Yorkshire pudding wrap with roasties and it was delicious. Service was brilliant from start to finish, got seated and served in no time. Excellent staff and great atmosphere. Would highly recommend if anyone is thinking about it or passing by.

Had a works party with 11 of us for the bottomless brunch. All food came out at the same time, no one was waiting & it was absolutely delicious. The staff made sure we were topped up with drinks for the full 90 minutes & were very accommodating ☺️

We booked the room upstairs for my sisters baby shower for 16 of us, on Sunday. On initial enquiry I was given Lucy the managers email. She was amazing from start to finish, she emailed me with any changes to the menu and gave me a list of the meats available for the Sunday lunches. We were allowed to set up the room before our guests arrived and nothing was too much trouble for them even though they were busy with sunday lunches! Our meals were absolutely delicious too.

Oh. My. God! This place is amazing. Me and my partner ordered of Uber eats and we waited a whole hour with no show (absolutely not the yellow earls fault). The lady on the phone at the Yellow Earl told us half an hour in they were concerned about the driver not arriving and we told them that we would wait. They called half an hour after that and offered to drive all the way (we are half an hour from the restaurant) to deliver their food. Not only that they had remade the food as it had gotten cold from the wait of the Uber eats driver. This shows their dedication as a lot of places would just cancel the order. NOT ONLY THAT!!!-> but when the food actually arrived… oh my god!!! The food. The delicious food I haven’t had food like that in a long long time it was absolutely delicious. Everything about it. My partner had the Italian pizza and salad and I had the pulled beef bao buns and the squid sticks and (need I say again) oh. My. god! I felt like I was in heaven. If I could give this place a 10 stars I would. Me and my partner will definitely be coming to this place first hand very soon! Thank you everyone at The Yellow Earl

Had my Sunday lunch here...what can I say, Great food, Great staff and Great price...The ham was super delicious. I'll be back at the end of another shift I'm sure, thank you😊

Should have known when we went in around 1pm and the place was empty that there was a reason. Food was freshly cooked however my husbands flat bread had large chunks of charcoal stuck to it where the grill obviously hadn't been cleaned properly. The tonic water tasted more like lemonade. I was offered to have it changed although I did decline the offer. Whitehaven is predominantly closed on a Monday and ended up here by default.

I held my retirement get together in the Yellow Earl private room last week. It was a good space that provided a lovely atmosphere for this type of gathering. Guests were coming and going at different times but the food was provided at intervals across the afternoon to accommodate this. The sandwiches were great quality, with several choices, and served with plenty of good chips. The pizzas served later all went down a treat too. We received really attentive service. As well as bar service downstairs, the staff kept checking in on us upstairs, clearing tables and providing a complementary drinks service. A music system, for us to bluetooth to, was also provided. All for a very reasonable price too. Many thanks to Lucy and the team.

Popped in here on a sunny Monday, we both had the smash burgers in the sunny beer garden , staff came out and checked if we needed anything twice and to see if the food was okay. I had added pulled pork on my burger would absolutely have it again 🤤

Random Monday night feed, popped into the Yellow Earl 08/07/24 absolutely bang on. Best burger I've had in West Cumbria in ages!! Really impressed. Great chunky chips. Was not disappointed at all. Defford be returning for the smash burger🍔

Fantastic place 👍 fine beers, music and live bands, large beer garden what's not to like? Can get very busy on the band nights and weekends that's getting to much for me now I'm past 60 😋

Friendly staff, food is great! Thank you ♥️

Absolutely wonderful Sunday roast (the only one we were able to find on the day before bank holiday), lovely staff, and the freshly baked bread was exceptional. Would definitely come back.

Great atmosphere and live music.

I put off family plans to watch a band here, got there told band had cancelled and it had said on social media. I had checked that afternoon to double check no mention of it been cancelled got bar staff to show me where it said cancelled and obviously they couldn't because they had Not posted cancelled. I feel they got people to go to the venue, under false pretenses

Held a hen party at the Yellow Earl on Saturday. They accommodated all my requests from buffet order, outside entertainment & Prosecco for arrival drinks. The bar staff went above and beyond helping to setup when we initially arrived, they even provided table service throughout the afternoon. The buffet was excellent & was more than enough to cater for all the guests. We had the whole place to ourselves and it was a truly brilliant evening. I’d highly recommend.

Delicious Sunday Lunch, relaxed setting and the staff are so welcoming and attentive. I’ve never had a bad meal here.

Planned a surprise party for my Wifes 40th Birthday. Lucy and all the team at the Earl mde sure everything was taken care of from food, drinks, entertainment and decor they pulled off an amazing event for a 100plus people. I wish i had photos to show but we were too busy having a good time we didnt take any. The Marquee in the beer garden is a lovely extension of the main bar and made it so people could move around quite freely. The whole team made sure the party was memorable for all the right reasons and the attention to detail was fantatstic.

The only thing that lets this place down sometimes is that my wife feels uncomfortable due to being stared at for being African. The staff are great and the food is excellent

Went as a small group for the Boozy barons feast, food was amazing the staff fill up our glasses before they where even empty.staff where really friendly .Would highly recommend The Yellow Earl.

We had a private party here at the weekend. The bar and door staff were brilliant - very accommodating and friendly, and it's a great venue - would highly recommend! 👌

Fab night at the Earl for the Boozy Barons festive feast 👌🏼 Delicious food and bottomless wine. Amazing value for only £30 pp! 👏🏼 Xx

Nice place but the service was absolutely miserable. Ordered food and had to wait an hour and a half just to go and ask how long it’ll take and to be told that the food wasn’t even in the oven. Do not recommend

We often go to The Earl with family for food and drinks. Staff are consistently warm and friendly and go out of their way to make you feel welcome. The menu is competitively priced, varied and has some great vegan options. The food is delicious which is also another consistent element of the best pub in Whitehaven. Live music at the weekends is a must if you're out. Get your table booked today.

I had the pleasure of having my daughters christening at The Yellow Earl. From the moment of booking, to the moment we left on the day the experience was nothing but amazing. Before the event they were attentive to detail, asking questions to ensure everything suited my needs. On the day the service was impressive, rearranging furniture, assisting with decorating the room, serving drinks to guests, and tidying promptly following the delicious buffet. The buffet consisted of a selection of pizza, garlic bread, quiches, and chips. All of which was tasty and there was plenty for all the guests. I could not praise all the team enough. Thanks so much. I would recommend them for any parties.

Food brilliant really enjoyed it

Beautiful, tasty, well presented food that came out hot. Great friendly service in a quirky cosy atmosphere. Would definitely recommend a visit to the yelow earl for a bite to eat. I thoroughly enjoyed it.

Whether it's food drinks or live entertainment The Yellow Earl gets it right time and time again. I couldn't recommend highly enough certainly the place to be in Whitehaven.

Came here for drinks after a good dinner in town on a Saturday evening. The place was busy but not too busy. People were having fun but not raucous. Staff were super efficient at getting drinks. I liked the decor and general atmosphere. They have the weirdest snug ever though! More like a sensory room but with a huge thick door you can't move and probably wouldn't want to. You'd be entombed forever... May sound strange but the toilets definitely had an 'oh wow' about them. Loved the beer barrel urinals and the record collection outside!

Great night, lovely atmosphere and beer and band were good, I'll be back, back, back

Just came in to watch the football- the bar is 4 deep and the kitchen were about to stop serving. The staff were really busy, but when we ordered food, they gave us amazing service and delicious meals ☺️ thanks guys! Will definitely come again

Always fantastic food and atmosphere, 😊

It was lovely inside with nice local beers. Just a shame the kitchen closes so early. So had to find another place to eat.

Nice setting and food was great worth a visit

Excellent team, lovely food and good choice of drinks, thank you!

Lunch on a day trip to Whitehaven. Nice surroundings. Great food and nice pint.

Mods Vs Rockers...who rocks hardest? They will decide with structured debate and light rollicking.

Amazing pub. We felt very welcomed

Great alcohol prices good atmosphere

Had Sunday dinner today and it was fantastic. A good plate full and cooked just right .plenty of beef and good value for money. Nice friendly staff and quick service 👌

First time here had a really great time and music bingo was so much fun

Went for sunday lunch and was not disappointed although it was not loads and loads it was just enough and we felt full we had the 3 meat roast and it was amazing beef turkey and gamon with garlic and herb roast potatoes mash veg and a massive Yorkshire pudding saff was very friendly and we took my 2yr old and he was running about and although they were busy thay had time for him 5* all the way and Cheese cake for afters

Great bar, good selection of drinks. Was there for a private party and everyone was very accommodating.

Was there with my band Afflicted for the first punk night they've put on with the Scumbrians. Friendly staff, good beer and a good turnout

Great atmosphere. Busy, friendly and full of energy on a Friday night. Live band were bangin’

Loved the building, its an old bank. Food was good as was the staff. Thank you.

A good pub with a good selection of beers and other drinks too. A popular spot.

Been for Sunday lunch today lovely

Nice place, very relaxed. Beer garden catches the sun too

Wow!! The food and gin selection here is ASTOUNDING. Loved this place!!

The restaurant was very nice,the food very nice .The staff was very helpful (we are sorry they didn't accepted any tips)

This was the most exciting blind tasting I’ve had. So many interesting flavors and the different sauces with each dish was delicious and left you wondering what you’ve just had.

I would recommend everyone to avoid the Yellow Earl as it is not clean & safe. We booked a table for food & drinks. When arrived we were shown to a table that had clearly not been sanitised at all. Unfriendly waitress sneered when I asked her to clean the table, which she did with spray and a dirty ‘j cloth’. The cloth was then left sitting in the bar...not rinsed cleaned or disposed of! We were then given a pile of damp menus which smelt awful, so much so we pushed them away, not wanting to touch them. We were brought more menus which were also very damp, but no so offensive in smell. Given the current pandemic I understood that food outlets were meant to be using disposable menus. We were then totally ignored for a further 20 mins, no orders taken for food or drinks. All said, when a young man came to serve us for drinks, he was very welcoming & helpful. Shame about his colleagues. Avoid if you value your health.

Been to The Yellow Earl a couple of times this summer. The first time was for drinks & then again last night but this time for food. The service is fantastic. Staff are very friendly & attentive. Excellent gin selection. The food we had last night was amazing. So glad I opted for the chicken burger. It was delicious. All tables were distanced but it was still busy so there was a really good atmosphere. Will definitely be back!

Outdoor seating perfect for an early evening cocktail or g&t.

Delicious Sunday lunch, a proper feed! The vegetarian option was fantastic. Food was hot & cooked to perfection.

Was my 1st time but will definitely be back.

Sunday Dinner was best I've had in ages. Serves till 5pm too. Brilliant

Very friendly and helpful staff. Delicious Sunday lunch!!! Perfect menu...loved it.

Great atmosphere, great cocktails, great food

Decent place could do with a bigger venue.

Its a nice place but far too busy

Played as an artist rather than as a punter, but lovely management and great atmosphere

Great selection of beers and spirits, friendly staff and a nice atmosphere, they often have good live music on

Nicest bar in Whitehaven in my opinion. Went there for the Gin festival. Great time

Great bar, excellent service by friendly, welcoming staff. Stylish yet relaxed atmosphere.

Ussual pub/night club with a good outdoor seating area/courtyard.

Very expensive, didn't enjoy drinking G&T out of a plastic beaker !!

Excellent place,lively staff very friendly espically thru the day and with children

Slow service is the main reason for the dropped stars good location and average priced drinks. Occasionally have bands on that is great.

Came here after a meal out at the weekend, we were visiting for the weekend and were told to visit the Yellow Earl by the owners of The Mansion, we were not dissapointed at all, it is a brilliant little bar and very stylish, the drinks on offer were great i wish i hadnt already ate otherwise i would have loved to try one of the milkshake cocktails they sounded great.

What a great venue, tasty cocktails and lovely friendly staff.

Nice place, terrible service and unfriendly bar staff.

Lovely place but can take a while to be served, beer garden is beautiful

Popular place for the young good wine decent entertainment

Quite often too busy for me on the weekend, but perfect to visit through the week for a quiet drink in the beer garden. The alcoholic Oreo and the raspberry milkshakes are definitely a highlight

If they don't know you, you won't get served

Great bar because of it's live music every Friday night. Has a lovely beer garden at the rear too

Fabulous wine bar, great cocktails, helpful and attentive staff. Really good atmosphere and live bands at weekends. Brilliant evening out.

Fun nice looking pub, lively on a weekend.

Lovely cocktails and great bands

Brilliant live music and cocktail bar with beautiful decor.

Good music, good drink variety, friendly atmosphere.
