The best restaurants in Allerdale North West

Having now tried the ice cream here on the basis that previous poor reviews can’t be that accurate, I’d say this ice cream isn’t that great quality. There is a slight graininess texture, the flavouring isn’t all that strong either. I had the rum and raisin and didn’t taste like it and I’m not sure there were many raisins. To be fair, I do know great ice cream or gelato when I taste it - coming from Scotland we have many Italian ice cream parlours. Therefore a negative review is based on a high standard benchmark which is difficult. Perhaps a suggestion would be to make ice cream with fewer flavours and do them really well? Perhaps advertise how the ice cream is made - local milk/cream etc ; freshly made daily!!! These are only suggestions of course. I’m terms of the staff they were smiling and pleasant - no complaints there.

I phoned around about 21:40, I didn’t get the order till 23:18 half of the food was missing I am never ordering from here again very disappointed chicken wasn’t cooked properly

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.

Absolute joke got the whole order wrong payed £75 won’t ever be going back shocking customer service and the food was awful

Avoid Sunday lunch here unless you like very bland, tasteless, underdone roast beef that you would struggle to get a knife through as it is as tough as old boots. Here if something is not right rude arrogant jobs worth staff blame the customer!!! I only managed to eat the roast potatoes and made staff aware of the problems. See more detailed review under Skiddaw hotel. A score of 3.5 on Trip Adviser speaks for itself. I wish I had checked the reviews beforehand.

I have recently visited this Establishment Twice and received Disgusting , Dry ,Salty and just awful. Speedy Wrap Garlic Mushrooms Cheeseburger Donner Wrap They only take cash which is very bazzar in 2024 don't waste your hard earned money here the service was crap aswell will definitely not be returning.

Fabulous! We got a brilliant chicken kebab - one of the best I've had. Great sauce n salad too. Hubs got hslf pound cheese burger. Very tasty. Highly recommend. Thanks

Ordered over the phone. They stopped me from talking 3 times so they could take orders from people in the shop. Thought right fine they must be busy. Went to collect and they don’t accept card. So went home and returned with cash. Stood in the shop for 10 mins while other people were served and the phone was being answered and I was ignored. Also witnessing the hygiene of the workers there I was totally put off So I left and went to another Chinese. Currently sat at home eating Chinese from another shop and they have just gone me over an hour later for me to collect. Won’t return

Ordered Senior roast beef Sunday lunch with roast potatoes instead of mash or boiled. When it arrived there was one small roast potato, frozen peas, frozen sprouts and soggy carrot sticks. Roast beef was Ok, stuffing was tasteless and Yorkshire pudding was acceptable. Really disappointed as have visited in the past and enjoyed.

This was the worst Takeaway I have had. The food hub system didn't place a full order and I Indeed shish kebab and git beef instead of lamb, it was disgusting, I threw it all in the bin!

I visited Greggs yesterday as I was passing through , I couldn't help notice that one team member was being very rude and interfering with another team member when she made herself a drink and the lad instead of serving customers or concentrating on his job was going out of his way to upset this girl who seemed like a manager or higher up as she kept saying Connor stop interfering this has nothing to do with you what I make for myself can you please carry on with the jobs I gave you and he just stood there commenting over and over . This chap really needs a talking too as I felt this needs to be acknowledged as I felt so sorry for the girl who just wanted to make herself a drink.

Dirty furnishings, slow lousy service, filthy cutlery, and rude miserable staff. It’s obvious that customer satisfaction is worth nothing here, presumably because most visitors are tourists so no return business to worry about, but tourists are still human beings who don’t want to use filthy cutlery, wait 20 minutes after food arrives to get their drinks, or have their order thrown down on the table without a word by an obviously very unhappy member of staff. Food was actually very decent for the price, just a shame about everything else.

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.

Visiting this establishment for coffee. Found the female person serving extremely rude telling my partner off for not being able to enter his car reg no. By pressing the screen - her saying he was hitting the screen when he was only pressing firmly but nothing was happening. I was shocked that she spoke in such a manner snatching the screen from him. Extremely bad customer service and definately not a credit to Starbucks.

We recently had lunch here as we'd gone for a Sunday afternoon stroll and there weren't many options of places to eat. We had a cheese sandwich, a tuna sandwich, a flat white coffee and a bottle of water and it totalled £28!!!! The food was very mediocre and to be honest, it felt like they had charged the highest prices for the minimum offerings.
