The best restaurants in Allerdale North West

This wonderful unique quirky gem was recommended by a friend. I loved it from the minute we walked in. Fab atmosphere. Staff amazing & unbelievably attentive Menu is amazing and its hard to decide what to have, with so much to chose from . We had delicious turkey sandwiches on the most delicious granary bread (fresh from a local bakers) I had tea in a China cup, yes!!! Had about 5 cups and still had some left! My son had a medium (huge)hot choc with the trimmings... wow! And a huge waffle with maple syrup ice-cream and cream too much for him to finish !!! I had seen gluten free scones had been made. So i bought them with Jam & butter to take home . Oh my days absolutely delicious- thankyou! All I can say is we really enjoyed our visit. And I wish it was nearer my home I'd be there all the time !!! An absolute must visit!!!! I will be back.

We popped in o our way home from Carlisle after seeing other reviews and reading the menu on line. Lovely atmosphere, excellent and knowledgeable service from all the staff, nothing was too much trouble. We had coffee and the Broccoli and Stilton soup, both were excellent and great value! We will be back (with friends) and an appetite for more! Congratulations to all the staff for making such a gem. Wishing you every success!

Really wish I had tried a cake, they looked so good! The chai latte I did have was lovely, piping hot and full of flavour. We were staying nearby and we’re only able to get a table when walking past on one occasion as was always busy, a great reflection on the service and quality of produce I think.

Visited here today for the first time and really enjoyed it! We sat outside in the sun and had the quiche off the specials board and a panini and soup and it’s dog friendly so even better :) Will recommend to others!

The tea room was shut last time we were in Allonby so we were pleased to see it was open. We were stopped from entering at the door in a slightly uncomfortable manner. We asked if there was a table for 2 which there wasn’t. We asked if there might be one later and were able to put our name down and to come back in half an hour. Our waiter was really polite and friendly but in general, the service wasn’t great and we had to ask for our drinks when we saw 2 tables who arrived and ordered after us and was clear ours had been forgotten about. Our table didn’t get cleared for a while despite several staff walking past and it was only when we grabbed the attention of someone and said we’d like to order cakes that it was finally cleared. The whole atmosphere wasn’t particularly friendly or nice. Unfortunately a disappointing experience and we wouldn’t go back in a hurry.

It isn’t every day you get to eat delicious food with a view like this!! Waterfalls. Lakes. Mountains and lots of local ales to sample. So friendly!! So delicious!! So stunning!!

Simply fabulous. We recently had afternoon tea while on a girlie weekend. The views are stunning. The hosts are so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you, and as for the food …. It was absolutely amazing Highly recommend a visit.

We had the most amazing afternoon tea with Keswick kitchen at the golf club. Jackie and Tim were fabulous hosts, can't wait for next time x

... indeed they do! Imagine taking a rare 300+ mile journey to revisit your childhood memories, including that of the pub that you were born in. Imagine turning up at the said establishment, full of excitement and anticipation only to be shouted at "You can't park here, I'm expecting people for Sunday Lunch" - maybe the Landlord was psychic and knew we weren't his intended visitors, or he only serves his local clientele with charm? Imagine then trying to hold a conversation with said Landlord about the past, who clearly wasn't interested, simply citing "things change". Indeed they do... just not always for the better... as evidenced at The Bush (previous name, from back in (much) better times.

A marvellous eclectic cafe. Wonderful service and welcome.

What can I say. The place is a beautiful little country pub. The atmosphere is fantastic and it is a beautiful place to enjoy a homemade meal at a very reasonable price. The food is fantastic. Would highly recommend

Love it when a catering van comes to a camping site, so was really pleased to read that Magic Mountain Keswick pizza van was arriving on Friday. We preordered a Chorizo and Truffle Dream and arrived a few mins before collection time and they were just preparing them both. We’ve eaten many pizzas and have to say both of these were up there with best. Perfectly cooked with a lovely thin base and tasted amazing. Would definitely recommend, you will not be disappointed 👌🏼

Las bebidas eran buenas. La comida era (aparentemente) excelente, y el servicio era perfecto. Ah, y gracias por no decirme el resultado de la carrera de Fórmula 1. ¡Muy apreciado, joven! Un gran lugar para visitar

Thank you so much for making our meal for our 40th wedding anniversary with our friends so memorable. The standard of food was superb and presentation exceptional, this was down to the dedication of the team in the kitchen and their mentors . The service we received from the young man (clover) was outstanding and he should be rightly proud as the rest of the serving team and mentors should be. £21 yes £21 for a three course restaurant meal and expirience. When we are next up this way on holiday we shall most definately be booking a lunch and will recommend to our family and friends. Finally a big thankyou for the marvellous cake which you presented to us. It was delicious and again a reflection of the superb team you have at the college including the your booking collegue. So once again thank you ALL Dave and Lin
