The best restaurants in Allerdale North West

We were camping in the area celebrating my nieces 12th birthday and her favourite food is Chinese so we thought we would treat her to a meal out with me, my husband and 2 children. We booked a table over the phone but had we seen the prices before hand I think we would have gone elsewhere. I was expecting them to have a children's menu but they didn't. My husband spotted the salt and pepper hash browns on the menu as we were coming into the restaurant and had to get them, my son and niece shared a portion of spring rolls and we were given a complementary portion of prawn crackers. The staff were so lovely and attentive. Food arrived quite quickly. The kids enjoyed the spring rolls. I shared the hash browns with my husband, it was a fairly big portion and they were absolutely delicious (I'd go back again just for these) for main I ordered the special chow mein, my husband order the special fried rice and we got 2 portions of chicken balls and 3 portions of chips for the 3 kids to share. My husband had a pint of lager, we ordered 3 diet cokes and a glass of water. The total bill was £108! Which I find excessive. The food was nice but definitely not worth the price. Complementary fortune cookies at the end was a nice touch though. We did feel a little under dressed most people were dressed up and obviously because we were camping we were just in casual clothing but who cares!

This traditional hotel restaurant ticked the boxes for an evening meal while staying locally. The menu was varied and we chose the crab pasta and the halloumi burger. It took a long time for our food to arrive but we were warned of this when we placed the order so not a problem. The food was tasty, although the halloumi could have easily been half the size!!!! Prices reasonable and we enjoyed the evening.

One of the friendly places in the area, great for families and dog friendly. Food great, as is the service.

Lovely service. Accessible restaurant. Dropped in for drinks and snacks - had 3 starters- Fish Tacos were excellent as was the Bruscetta and Calamari. Good clean accessible toilets. Superb views. Absolutely no negative comments. Well done

Enjoyed our late breakfast here. Everything was cooked perfectly, decent sausage, and bacon with egg, hash brown, black pudding and toast. Screens up, clean place, friendly staff, definitely recommended.

Was excited to try however found myself very disappointed. The chow main tasted like it was a jar or packet sauce with loads of lazy garlic in it. Salt and pepper chips was just some chippy style chips with a couple bits of veg in it, didn't taste seasoned at all. They were charging 1.80 for a bottle of juice that costs 49p in aldi And overall was very disappointing, will not be back

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

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

My wife and I found this a very relaxing friendly pub, we had some lovely food on our first day, very filling and pleasantly served, we enjoyed the food and the friendly atmosphere here that we were back the following day for food, I will definitely be back again for the steak and ale pie. Thank you for 2 enjoyable days

Rushed to get to the pub before they stopped serving food (8.45pm on blackboard outside) only to be told the kitchen closes 8.25pm on a Sunday! Remove your board on a Sunday if that’s your rules.

Visited tonight and was not disappointed. Amazing food, sausages, mash and veggies in a Yorkshire pudding. Great sticky toffee pudding also. Great service and lovely staff. Good value and a visit is recommended.

The food was tasty and thoughtfully sourced with an emphasis on local. The staff were untrained and unable to provide basic service - we asked for small plates so we could share a charcuterie platter and salad and ended up being told to get them ourselves from the coffee bar.

Called for a quick good value daytime menu meal with my partner. The item I chose was out of stock but the replacement fish and chips was excellent. The staff are are very friendly and I am a regular here.

Got married here back in 2022 amazing place and staff were nice. Location is perfect

Ordered a chai latte with oat milk and it tasted like milky dishwater,realise that starbucks is superior.
