The best restaurants serving British food in Allerdale North West

Large country cafe in a rural location set on a small farm with nature trails & small animals etc. The cafe is larger than anticipated with a countryside decor. The cafe has a good menu, I had a “McWellington Pattie” which is a sausage Pattie, hash brown, fried egg & cheese served on a ciabatta. It was excellent & good value at £8.50. This is better than the normal cafe.

Walked from Keswick centre to Nichol End Marina. A lovely walk but was glad when I arrived at the marina cafe. Roger (jolly Roger) welcomed me in and was so helpful and friendly. It was quiet as the season is coming to an end. I had an oat milk coffee and a raisin sticky toffee scone. It was so big! Put half in a bag to take home. Plenty of choice of scones all fresh and looking delicious. Prices were so reasonable. Roger then gave me a ride in his boat across Derwent Water. He’s such a nice man. It made my day to find a gem of a place. Would def recommend if in the area. Will return and try out the boating/canoeing etc next year.

✨️✨️✨️❤️An incredible place, with incredibly delicious cakes and the best coffee, I highly recommend everyone to try the Sunday lunch from the chef, it is incredibly tasty, if you are passing through these parts, I highly recommend visiting this place, I am sure it will be the best lunch of your life.❤️✨️✨️✨️

We’ve stayed close to this lovely tearoom on quite a few occasions over the last 30 years! We had the pleasure of more regular visits on a recent stay both to the shop (essentials, delicious cakes, teas, coffees, hot food, ice cream, Cumbrian gifts, cards and importantly take away menu) and to the tearoom where we enjoyed toasties and delicious hot chocolate. Being able to take homemade lamb pasties and lots of other goodies is so helpful when self catering and fancy a night off while supporting an established local business. Well placed if staying in the Borrowdale Valley or if you are walking the Cumbrian Way make a plan to stop. Currently open 10-5 daily Above all, you can expect a lovely warm welcome from all the team 😁

Delicious home baking with local produce and perfectly situated for enjoying views of beautiful Borrowdale. We enjoyed carrot and coriander soup with toasted cheese and chive scones - highly recommended!

This is our favourite place to eat, the food is always delicious. Great choice of specials and main menu dishes. My husband is a fussy eater but loves early meal he has here. Always very friendly

We visit this pub all the time and I thought it was due a review! What an amazing place. Food is good honest pub grub with Specials. The staff are really friendly and attentive. The atmosphere is always good with locals and walkers - good craic. Almost forgot the real ale which is always being changed. Proper village pub at the heart of the community with an amazing landlady !

We visited on our holiday after searching for pubs nearby. The only downfall is the service was abit slow at first, obviously we’re not from the area so we got told what table we were at but didn’t get told if it was bar service or table service so we ended up sitting there for 10 mins with no menus not knowing. We went on a Sunday so the menu was two courses for less than £16! Very good value, the portions are good sizes and the food was lovely.

We had a lovely dining experience for our anniversary. We had the steak which was quite salty along with the fries. The service was quite slow too, but everything was made up with the dessert which was exquisite. Beautiful presentation, perfectly balanced taste. Friendly welcoming staff.

Staff were so friendly, welcoming, bubbly and warm, they really made our experience when they were having a laugh and bantering with customers. The food was delicious, really good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Didn't have to wait long at all for service, drinks or food. We are so glad we decided to try this place before we left Cockermouth to return home. We even asked to take some scones with us for when we got home.

I was very disappointed with the panini I ordered. It wasn’t a panini it was a toasted baguette roll and the filling was very sparse. What was there was nice but it needed more. The coffee was lovely though.

First time going into this pub, thought I’d give it a try. Really impressed everyone was so friendly, the food was really nice, I had a hotdog but my friend got a bigger meal and she said that was really good too. Really nice presentation with homemade bbq sauce. The pub itself is really nice, bright and clean with old beams and lots of character. They have a pool table which is great so had a few games of pool and chose some music on the juke box. Had a really nice afternoon there.

Just had a lovely lunch of turkey pie, veg and mash. Absolutely delicious, piping hot served on a hot plate. Lovely service in a nice cosy room. Was a very impromptu visit as was in the area so will definitely be coming back again soon to try the Sunday lunch.

A lovely little cafe tucked up an alley in Cockermouth. The food was good and the staff very friendly. It’s worth taking your time to find this little gem.

What a lovely Sunday roast we had here last weekend with lovely friendly staff. Food was well priced, decent portion and hot. My daughter is coeliac - she wasn’t with us but I always check with staff whether they can accommodate. Very knowledgable on gluten free including advising they would substitute fires for jacket due to cross contamination risk. All round impressed and would return
