The best restaurants serving British food in Broughton St Bridget's Allerdale North West

We called in midweek for lunch. We noticed 3 tables empty so went and sat down, as it is counter service. We were looking through the menu when a member of staff came over and said “have you booked”. I said no and we were asked to leave as told we needed to book - no reserved notice on any of the tables, so I found this a bit odd.

Food was brilliant, young waiter with a ponytail particularly impressed my husband. It was lovely and cosy inside with a nice atmosphere, will definitely be back. Sorry didn’t get a photo with all the veg on the side

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!

You could never call the Fletcher Christian a cosy pub. It is a large, modern bar with background music and multiple televisions showing sport in abundance. In pubs like this it really depends on who else is in at any particular time and we were perhaps unlucky to have to negotiate smokers congregating on the front door step and then being sat near a bunch of blokes whose language was both loud and ripe. Our lagers however were crisp and fresh and the service friendly and efficient.
