The best restaurants in Christchurch Allerdale North West

I'm sorry I have to write this because they all seem to be nice guys at Fiza Spice but, as I had told the manager previously, if this ever happened again I would post an honest review. And it has so here goes. At least this review will give this business an opportunity to explain. Because they haven't answered me in person. For the second time this last year - both times being at the start of the week - our lamb curry was made with bland sliced lamb. Very obviously left overs. After all, who would roast a leg of lamb then use it in curry? Maybe at home you might use up leftovers from the Sunday roast - but professionally? I don't think so! The sliced lamb was bland, no spice in it, it had just been warmed up in a curry sauce. Not 'cooked in spice specifically for the curry. Where is this left over lamb coming from? A care home? A hospital? Has it come from the kitchen or from the plates ie having been served then returned to the kitchen with goodness knows what contamination? Our entire lamb curry went in the bin. And, despite being very much NOT a squeamish person, or picky in any way - I still feel sick thinking about it. Who wants to eat a stranger's left overs? Goodness knows what else is going on in the kitchen if the manager thinks this is acceptable. We will never, ever, eat from this takeaway again.

Paré aquí para tomar una bebida rápida y nos dieron un disco para aparcar afuera. El personal amable y los lugareños. A mi marido le gustó la elección de cervezas Jennings de barril!

Under new management. Information well out of date (probably lockdown). Sunday special 4th Dec Roast beef Yorkshire pud WRAP £6.95, roast potatoes £1.95, cauliflower cheese £1.95. Tasty enough but won’t be going again until they get their act together and do proper Yorkies, you cannot wrap them

Lovely hot drink and tea cake was excellent, service was first class and everywhere was spotlessly clean.

Entered to be greated with a sign saying saying to wait here to be seated. Waited almost 10 minutes for anyone walking past us or anyone serving on the bar to even acknowledge us. In hindsight we should have just walked out before then but the kids were hungry so we persevered. We were finally shown to a table under freezing cold air con with slug trails on the carpet (they were probably attracted to the chips nobody had bothered to pick up). We ordered food which took over an hour to arrive and it was grim at best. The woman that introduced herself as restaurant manager was incredibly patronizing when we brought everything to her attention, her insincere use of calling us darling was cringeworthy.

Just returned from a family weekend at all saints rooms Cockermouth. And would recommend zucchinis catering who did a first-class Bbq for my 70th birthday thank you girls for your fine food and knowledge of the local area. Hope to see you again in the near future .

Meal for 3 was very good - nice selection and all dishes were prepared well and tasted good. Overall an enjoyable meal at a reasonable price. Two containers of rice perhaps too much. One noodle would have improved it.

I was a bit tired after a fraught drive from Scotland in torrential rain, so stopped off at The Lakes Tea Room for a coffee. £.6.35 for a regular cappucino and a Mars bar cake isn't bad these days, and I notice they do specials like Cumberland sausage and mash for £11.95, which is quite reasoonable. Nice enough place to stop off for a coffee or a meal and popular with locals and tourists. I'd call back again as the staff were friendly and I didn't have to wait too long for a table.

Despite the Latin name, I’d guess that this takeaway is more Turkish in origin than Mexican or Spanish. But that doesn’t matter a jot. What matters is the quality of the food and I must say that our chicken kebab with salad and mixed sauces was fantastic. It was perfectly cooked, substantial and delicious. Service was friendly and quick. This was our first visit here and we will certainly use it again when next in Cockermouth.

It's OK & what you'd expect from a Chinese. The portions are massive & to be honest I'd rather have smaller ones with better quality ingredients. The main compliment I have is how fatty & greasy everything was. I mean the chowmain was shiny & there was more fat than duck. I couldn't really recommend it as a high quality takeaway, the price is rather on the expensive side too.

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.

We have been coming to this particular store for years now. The staff are knowledgeable and always welcoming the drinks are always made perfectly and the restaurant is always family friendly.

The menu has changed and it now slightly confusing. My favourite 'spicy italian' seems to be missing from the menu now but when I enquired, they said they could still make it - odd!. Prices have somewhat increased. Sandwich was ok.

Visiting Cockermouth on holiday with partner in and out charity shops had nice lunch was caught short needing a pee badly I’m diabetic ask very nicely if I could use the toilet told straight up no it’s for customers only asked if I could put a donation in charity box told no again and it’s her decision would not have treated an animal the way she treated me what goes around comes around left a horrible taste in my mouth and let me disgusted

Stopped off here today for a quick bite to eat while travelling. Arrived at 2.30 - Very poor choice of food: ie sandwiches, hot counter and pasties - considering it doesn’t close till 6pm, anyone would think they were closing in the next 5 minutes! Too much trouble for female staff member to be bothered - bordering being down right rude to be honest. Not the usual standard of service we get from Greggs - very disappointing. Will not use this branch again! As we sat eating our cold, dry gougons (with the only choice of dip being mayo) apparently they didn’t have any bbq dip!! And our cold corned beef pasties - as they had no steak bakes and very little else on offer, there were several other people looked what was available and went to subway next door. They lost a lot of custom just in the 10 minutes we were there! Need some customer services training for sure and to keep their counters stocked with more than 2 sandwiches and half a dozen cold pasties.
