The best restaurants serving British food in Wigton Allerdale North West

I stumbled across Scran after recently moving to Wigton, and I'm honestly so glad I did! Not only did the cater brilliantly for my vegetarian girlfriend, but the food and service we got was brilliant from start to finish. Furthermore, the fact that they emphasise all the ingredients come from the local area makes it an even better experience. Ultimately, it means you get lovely food, while at the same time supporting local businesses!

Ate here on two successive evenings. The food was absolutely delicious and very plentiful. All freshly cooked too. Can’t recommend it more highly

We popped in for a warm up after having a walk nearby. Rude staff told us to take the kids shoes out of the cafe because they were spreading muck and now they would have to hoover. Can’t comment on the food as the service left a bad enough taste in our mouth and we took our business elsewhere!

Attended a conference and decided to have breakfast before. The full english breakfast was served quickly, was red hot and delicious. My colleague who is vegan was offered options. All staff were so friendly and helpful, especially Pauline.

An old village inn that has sadly seen better days. I’m giving it 2 stars purely because the owner was so friendly but the place itself felt dirty, stank of something that was akin to stale urine and was generally uncared for. A shame because it could be a nice place if some attention to detail was made. Not a chance I would go back until then.

Myself, partner and kids frequently visit and love this café, we go early as they get busy and sometimes runout of hot food. I've tried the home made quiche, soup, scones, cupcakes and thier cheesecakes I couldn't recommend enough. The ladies there are super friendly and are generally lovely. We are always made to welcome. Wether we come for coffee and a cake or a spot of lunch the cafe never disappoints!

Rough and ready. Will not be returning. Sunday lunch cheap but not worth it. Very disappointing. Tables sticky! Some items on menu were very good but not inspiring.

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.

This café is located on the edge of the town and looks quite attractive from the exterior. However, inside is more basic with few customers when we visited. Prices are fairly average for the area yet the quality of the offerings was well below what we expected. The Hot Chocolate was extremely hot- too hot to drink and the toasted teacake was burnt on the carefully placed underside. We mentioned this to staff who, to their credit, offered a refund but that didn’t deflect from the fact that food so simple to prepare shouldn’t be offered to a customer.
