The best restaurants in Christchurch Allerdale North West

We used to eat in Veeva weekly, but since the change in staff it hasn’t been the same. The menu isn’t as good, lack of variety on the specials board, just not the same. We had lunch there today and my husband’s quesadillas was very thinly filled, and the portion of skinny fries had reduced to a small bowl from a lovely big tub. Not good considering the price. You used to have to queue for a table but it was practically empty! I don’t think we will be back in a hurry. Also they don’t let dogs in!

Visited a few coffee shops today and this was definitely our favourite! We drink decaf and it’s hard to find a tasty substitute for the real thing. These guys have nailed it. Cakes were super scrumptious too!

Called in here yesterday for a takeaway lunch, ham salad baguette. Lovely fresh ham and plenty of it, with lettuce, tomato, cucumber, red onion, coleslaw and mayonnaise with a sprinkle of salt and pepper. Husband had a savoury tuna baguette with all the salad. Best baguette I have ever had!

Had breakfast here after a stay at The Tithe Barn. Highly recommend. Good quality food well cooked. Great coffee. Lovely staff.

Came here because of the TripAdvisor ratings and reviews and we were pleased that we did. Decided to go with the £65 meze for two instead of trying to work out ourselves which dishes to choose. Ordered a bottle of wine which was ok (we had one somewhere else the day after at the same kind of price which was much nicer). Oh my goodness - that meat! Beautifully tender and tasty. In fact the whole meal was top notch. We even found (just) room for a pud and a coffee. The only criticism was that the two young kids on the staff both came up separately and asked something along the lines of 'are you guys finished?' while we were still eating. They're obviously inexperienced but they need to stop doing that. No wonder the place was busy and has great reviews, as we really enjoyed it here.

Good value tasty food relaxed place. Friendly staff

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

We we’re struggling to find somewhere to eat on Saturday night so emailed this place in the afternoon and were lucky enough to get a table for 1930. Service was excellent and we ordered two starters two mains bottle of wine and even had a dessert to share. All was excellent quality and very tasty and c e in at £70 it was brilliant so we will be returning.

Sunday lunch with family. Having read mixed reviews I was a tad worried about going here with our family who live away and dont come to stay very often. Our Sunday roast dinners were amazing. The plates were hot, and the food plentiful (huge actually) The service from the ladies waiting on was first class. We loved it and would certainly return.

This is our favourite place to eat, the food is always delicious. Great choice of specials and main menu dishes. My husband is a fussy eater but loves early meal he has here. Always very friendly

Staff were so friendly, welcoming, bubbly and warm, they really made our experience when they were having a laugh and bantering with customers. The food was delicious, really good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Didn't have to wait long at all for service, drinks or food. We are so glad we decided to try this place before we left Cockermouth to return home. We even asked to take some scones with us for when we got home.

I was very disappointed with the panini I ordered. It wasn’t a panini it was a toasted baguette roll and the filling was very sparse. What was there was nice but it needed more. The coffee was lovely though.

First time going into this pub, thought I’d give it a try. Really impressed everyone was so friendly, the food was really nice, I had a hotdog but my friend got a bigger meal and she said that was really good too. Really nice presentation with homemade bbq sauce. The pub itself is really nice, bright and clean with old beams and lots of character. They have a pool table which is great so had a few games of pool and chose some music on the juke box. Had a really nice afternoon there.

A lovely little cafe tucked up an alley in Cockermouth. The food was good and the staff very friendly. It’s worth taking your time to find this little gem.
