The best restaurants in Allerdale North West

I have just been verbally abused by the owners and watched them while they verbally abuse their own son and the poor lady behind the counter who were both close to tears!! They have a sign up in the shop they they won’t tolerate abusive customers and will call the police yet it is acceptable for them to take 2hrs to deliver stone cold food which is then taken back and they then refuse to refund and then be abusive to the customer, their own son and the counter assistant to the point I have had to call the police and will be reporting them to trading standards! Where is this ever acceptable. Please a) avoid and b) share

After an exhilarating session on the forest segway course we found our way to this cosy cafe with great food and a very friendly team. Fantastic burgers and cake all whilst taking in the spectacular forest scenery.

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.

The food is always good at o complaints with this I really do have issue visiting Saturday 21st and Saturday 28th told both timesthey could not make toffee Apple frappe as they have no ice. Week one I let this go, this Saturday I wanted to know why they do no go into the store to stock up on ice and have the really not served any seasonal drinks because they cannot be bothered to collect ice from the store Ridiculous

Por favor, no pierdas tu dinero! ! Nos alojamos en el cercano "North Lakes Lodges" (que son increíbles por cierto) y decidimos llevarnos para la cena final. Fuimos a recoger y llegamos a un restaurante muy oscuro y poco atractivo (uso la palabra a la ligera) y solo se les dijo en efectivo. . . Conseguí la comida en casa, era incorrecta y, sin duda, el curry más suave que he tenido la desgracia de probar. Pedí un Jalfrezi y literalmente no tenía especias. . He tenido fideos olla más sabrosos! ! El pollo Balti que pedimos estaban tan mal! Ahorre su dinero y diríjase al restaurante del hotel si se aloja en los nuevos lodges de North Lakes ¡Lamentable! ! !

Mcdonalds has been getting a lot better through the past few months and has realised what the customer expectations were. The food had a nice warm touch to it, and the service wasn't terrible.

Please sort your “official” opening times out as it is stated on the company’s web site and app that opening hours to 9pm! Apparently they close at 8. Not good as twice we have traveled a 15 mile round trip to either find it closed or turned away just before 8pm!

I was looking forward to my Chinese as I had hardly eaten all day, and not since lunchtime. Our take away arrived around 8pm. I felt off afterwards but put it down to being full. It is now half one in the morning and after half a dozen trips to the ladies room and a very poorly tummy I will never order from this takeaway again, there was nothing else that I have eaten that could have made me poorly. I generally consider myself to have an iron stomach, I never get diahorrea, so there must have been something really nasty in there. I will look for a 5 star hygiene rating in the future rather than this 3 'satisfactory', or just make my own.

I’ve been here a good few times and nothing changes, today I went in and a young girl come to the counter I told her what I wanted but she couldn’t speak a word of English, she had to get someone else to serve me, it’s shocking they can’t speak English, the service is very poor, I was in the week before and the manageress was good her name I think was Kelly and she commanded that kitchen, other than that the staff are so miserable they need to take some happy pills or something drastic needs to happen in that kfc Workington.

I’ve eaten Domino’s in several countries and two continents and always found them reliable until yesterdays pizza. My large pizza was slightly smaller than normal, but worst of all, there was barely any topping, thinly spread over a smaller surface area than usual.

Me and family (4 adults and 1 child) pre booked a New Year's Eve celebration meal at the kings head as we were staying in the lakes over Christmas and thought it would be a lovely place to see the new year in. I have eaten here before a while back and the food and service was fine. On arrival all looked really nice, nice table layout crackers party poppers etc Music in the background (which ended being on repeat about 4 times whilst we ate) For Starters I had the ham hock which was okay, their was nothing on the menu for children so my daughter had a bread basket (strange I know but literally a whole loaf of ciabatta in a basket) the rest of my family had trio of seafood which apparently consisted of salmon, mackerel and halibut but it was actually 'duo of seafood' just salmon and halibut. Then came the main course, buffet style which was a strange combination 'a carb lovers paradise' if you ask me...potatoes, rice, pasta, bread, more potatoes then a couple of meats and 2 hot dishes which were barely hot. As the service was so slow my dad had to go to bar to get our drinks at the other end of the pub! We Waited ages for the waiter to ask us for our pudding choice, when it did arrive it was cold - I ordered the warm pear and ginger crepes with lime sorbet and chocolate sauce (see my pic it was a joke) no chocolate sauce, no sorbet. It seems the chef doesn't know what's on the menu and is making it up as he goes along. The brochure advertised a disco, I can't believe it but the dj actually pulled up a chair at the table we were eating at to ask us what we want playing (seriously, your the dj). We ended the evening by leaving early and having a better new year at our holiday cottage however £175 worse off!! certainly will not be returning their are far better places to go in the lakes.

Ordered 2 ultimate breakfast paid £13.99. Collected the items but stupidly didn’t check them before leaving the store. Got home and one breakfast was missing: the egg, large mushroom, one sausage, both black puddings and fried bread Second breakfast was missing: one sausage, mushroom, fried bread and both black puddings.

We went to the front bar for a lunchtime snack. We ordered a club sandwich for me and a fish finger sandwich and fish fingers, chips and peas for the kids. We had to hurry to order as they said they stopped serving at 3pm, although it states 5pm on the menu. One kids meal didn't turn up and the other was missing peas, which turned up after he'd finished. My club sandwich was PROBABLY THE WORST CLUB SANDWICH EVER! Slathered with mayonnaise to the point it was bursting out like pus. Don't waste your money and go elsewhere.
