The best restaurants serving British food in Copeland North West

A massive THANKYOU to Paul and Angela for their fantastic hospitality, perfect communication and for having us, it felt like home from home. We originally were meant to stay the week before but after us getting caught in the snow on route, Paul and Angela kindly offered for us to go the following week with no additional charge. They went above and beyond in looking after us, and we were left to do our own thing too. Beautiful lodge, Whitehaven near by for bars and restaurants, cute little seaside town. 25 mins from scafell so the perfect place to stay if you’re walking!!! We will definitely be back can not thank you guys enough!!!! Highly recommended, merry Christmas and see you next year. Lesley and Amy xxx

Excellent welcome with our dog. Had an excellent meal with 5 star service Thoroughly recommend. Nothing was too much trouble

Fantastic staff and lovely cosy hotel in such a beautiful peaceful place. We were here for dinner after a lovely walk over Muncaster fell to Dalegarth followed by a return trip on the Ravenglass Railway. The food was georgous, really well presented and cooked to perfection. The Hotel has lovely furnishing and is extremely comfortable. Following a train cancellation we had to wait around for some time. And to be honest the staff could not have been more helpful and accommodating. Will certainly be back hopefully with toiletries and a change of clothes. One again thank you!😃

We went in this morning, they weren’t open , but a very kind lady let us in , it had said on the website that they were open, but she very kindly cooked us bacon barncakes they were so good and so needed . Thank you

Disappointed in the quality of curry sauce and scampi’ only to find out they buy it from the low budget supermarket next door and then charge at very high prices

Absolutely appalling. Just returned home from the Golf course. After being very accommodating at first by giving my wheelchair bound Mother a better table that had initially been designated for us, sadly things went down hill. The batter on the fish was overdone to the point I wouldn't have gone near it with a bargepole for fear of damaging my teeth. I ordered phillet stake with a Diane sauce. On the third time of asking for the said Diane Sauce it eventually arrived. Sadly by this point my food was cold. There were also issues between the management and myself about how things should be rectified. Sloppy service. Average at best food. But don't complain or they'll just try and ignore you for as long as they can and hope you go away. Other than that ot was smashing 😘

Amazing food and fantastic service, we popped in here after a walk in the coast path, it’s tucked away around the corner off the main harbour. The staff were fantastic and the food was amazing. Highly recommend

Was a resident for three nights in the first week of January '25. Excellent time throughout though quiet at this time of year, which is to be expected. Nice public bar area especially by the roaring fire. Lots of snow overnight Saturday (4th) so a white wonderland to awaken to in the morning; you can't beat that in these surroundings! Decided on an evening meal for the final night, fish & chips and it was 'delish' as they say. Will definitely be going back again at this time of year when time permits.

The bar manager on 11th March had a face on from the moment we entered. We were a party of 7 ladies aged between 56 and 61 We spent plenty on both food and drink. We were a lively bunch but not over the too or rude. Every time we went to the bar we were greeted with the same unfriendly face. We were pretty much thrown out at 10pm. Bar manager kept walking past and dropping hints. We felt so uncomfortable that we did leave shortly after 10pm. The saving grace was the waitress who looked after us really well. I wouldn't plan to go back because I expect to be made to feel welcome when I go to dinner. This was a school reunion It just felt like it was all too much effort for her.

Popped in for some dinner after my hike as was staying nearby in Gosforth. Great food and drinks selection with big portions. Staff were friendly. Nice atmosphere

Lovely high quality food and friendly service. Also dog friendly. Steak sandwich was amazing and the bacon was so thick and tasty

It was horrific i went undercover to see if anyone could realise what i was doing the food was not pleasant , actually pleasant is and understatement it was cold and grimy an a all out crap fest and dog s**t meal!

Shockingly bad.£5 something for pie peas and gravy to go and the dogs wouldn’t even eat it. The pie was tasteless and had a thick layer of undercooked pastry, the peas were like bullets and the gravy was just coloured water. They must have worked really hard to get that as bad as it is. I dread to think what the other food is like if they can’t even make this.

Want to be able to give it more stars :/ Nice to have a chip shop in such a small village. Easy to find, nice young woman behind the counter. As she was cooking the fish, I thought - hmm- should be now.... or now... or now. Well, so probably was, so a bit overcooked. Chips were good (glad I saw her salt/vinegar an order or 2 before mine so I could say 'no, thank you' to waaaay too much salt. Got an order of cold slaw. Ok - was a serving of mayo with some cabbage in it. Hope they consider some adjustments! Then would recommend.

Lovely apartment. Great food and friendly staff.
