The best restaurants in Allerdale North West

Loved having breakfast at this Swedish style cafe. Food was amazing and the place has a great atmosphere and tasteful decor. I was impressed with the porridge, and the breakfast rolls were lovely too.

I never knew this place existed until my better half told me her parents were going for an anniversary dinner and it would be good to surprise them…..so glad we went, carvery Sunday dinner and the quality was excellent and superb value for money too! Must mention the waitress who was in on the surprise, she played her part well and kept us informed with my in-laws arrival, they loved the surprise!

The Full House Chinese takeaway is in the centre of town near Sainsbury’s and has an extensive menu. We simply had meat spring rolls which were tasty and a special chow main which was substantial and pretty good. Prices are reasonable and the service very good.

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.

Food was ok but not very flavoursome, the service was pretty slow even though people had called in the order it was still a 40-45min wait.

Stopped by chance during a circular walk. Good service and made to feel very welcome. The tea and coffee was appreciated as were the spotless WC! Will call again.

Lovely setting in a fabulous old building but falls far short of its potential. Menu choices very traditional/dated, food quality just adequate, coffee poor. Staff (all three of them) oddly lacking in any warmth whatsoever. Not dog-friendly so limited to sitting outdoors, which would be ok if the tables/benches weren’t so dirty, and in some cases rotten. With the summer coming, someone could at least sand them down and do some basic maintenance. Feels a bit like they’d given up.

Best kebab I’ve ever had! Never been to Silloth so don’t know the local establishments but stumble on this place and it was delicious

Lovely pub. Called with a group of friends for a drink and a bite to eat. The staff were brilliant, so friendly and very attentive. Lovely food and reasonably priced. Would recommend to anyone in the area

Quite honestly some of the best food I've ever eaten really reasonable prices great portion sizes lovely staff would highly recommend xx

Enjoyed fish and chips from Berties. I've never had a fish so big, it had to be folded in half to fit it in the tray. Cooked very well and good chips also.

Having read the mixed reviews we thought we would give it a try. The interior is so clean and decorated lovely. We were given a warm welcome by the friendly staff. My husband had the Gammon, egg & chips which was well cooked and he thoroughly enjoyed. I had the small fish & chips which was such a good size portion I couldn't eat it all. The fish was white and meaty and the batter very crispy. They are dog friendly and had a treat for our dog Barney. PLEASE ignore the negative reviews because The Belle Vue is under new managment who have only been in 8 weeks. They are trying to rebuild the damaged reputation from previous owners. I'm just sorry that we are on holiday and this is not our local oub back home

Muy por debajo del estándar. Mala organización. ¡El viaje en autobús reservado para 4 noches tenía malas opciones de menú para 36 pasajeros de una edad promedio de 70+! El desayuno estaba bien, pero el servicio era lento y desorganizado.

We live locally and visit regularly with our grandchildren who always enjoy the displays. You really need the weather to stroll the gardens
