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!

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.

Fantastic pub and restaurant. Relaxed atmosphere and friendly staff. Amazing food at amazing prices. We had two visits during a stay in the area and tried various starters, mains and puddings all of which were delicious! Highly recommended if you happen to be in or near Carlisle.

We came here for Sunday lunch for my 40th birthday. It is a set 3 course menu on a Sunday but there is a huge amount of choice. The food is lovely and the prices are very reasonable. Brilliant.

Had a birthday party here restaurant was extremely busy but the service and quality of food made us feel as if we were the only guests. Heartening to see that consistent excellence is possible when all too often it seems the reverse applies. A huge thank you to all the hard working delightful staff members.

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.
