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 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 after seeing the positive reviews. Firstly the staff were attentive, friendly and helpful and I would give them 5*. Unfortunately the food did not reach our expectations. I admit I am fussy about my coffee and prefer a true barista coffee, but this coffee was not good. Too weak and little flavour. I did ask for and extra shot which was added at no extra charge, so that was good service, but unfortunately didn't improve the flavour. The food was 'ok', but nothing special and I had expected better after reading previous reviews. We ordered the flatbread, which was so thin, i would call it a wrap, however the topping was nice. The soup was very thin and over seasoned with salt. I had a small cooked breakfast and asked for poached egg, not fried as per menu, this was done with no quibble. However the bacon was hard and overcooked. I wasn't keen on the sausage, which was more like a factory sausage, than a butchers sausage. Maybe we just visited on a bad day. I hope so. I would say give it a go and see what you think, but sadly not for me.

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!

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!!

Absolutely fabulous evening at The Sunset Supper club. Soul food with music to complement!!! The quality of the food was outstanding! A lovely way to celebrate a special occasion!! We can highly recommend

Pre arranged afternoon tea for thirteen friends celebrating 80th birthday. Excellent food served in a friendly manner with stunning views from the valley to Helvellyn and Blencathra.

... 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.

Such a lovely warm welcome from Ian, the server. He was so attentive throughout our time there. It is a limited menu but everything we had and we went twice in three days in Keswick, tasted great. There was three types of soup to choose from which came with different accompaniments, ie, sourdough toast, spicy chickpea bun ect. There was also a choice of about five different types of cake and I can highly recommend the ginger and raspberry with extra fruit compote. Note it's cash only and closed Sunday and Monday. Soon as we go back to Keswick we are going back to Chintys.

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 👌🏼

Drinks were good. Food was (aparrently) excellent, and the service was perfect. Oh, and thank you for not telling me the result of the Formula 1 race - much appreciated, young man!! A great place to visit
