The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Allerdale North West

It's one thing selling sub standard coffee, it's another thing having to consume it in sub zero temperatures, no heating whatsoever, everyone wearing coats and even hats. We the customers get to leave and get a warm outside, the poor staff all wearing fleeces and scalfes have to endure the misery for the rest of the day, come on Starbucks you're a multi billion dollar company put the heating on you tight gits. I won't be visiting again.

Popped in here as this was the first pub I came to when my weakened bladder condition kicked in on a day trip to Cockermouth and I needed a wee. I politely asked for directions to the toilets in a tone that anyone could see meant I needed to find them urgently, only to be told sharply “It’s customers only”, which I’m not sure is even legal. Did she find my discomfort amusing ? maybe, not exactly the warm welcome to Cockermouth that the tourist guides would have you believe. Would she have found it more amusing for me to let go in the public bar on the way back out and her have to mop up ? or would she prefer me being humiliated outside on the high street. If I had agreed to become a ‘customer’ would I have to wait for her to pour a half-pint of guiness or could I use the toilet as soon as my contactless payment had gone through ? Having said that, the place was on the high street and virtually deserted at lunchtime on a Sunny half-term Saturday so that probably tells you more than any review I could post. The fact the place was as quiet as the grave made the dehumanising behaviour stand out even more. Beat a hasty retreat (no time to waste arguing) and found a much nicer pub further down the street, a fantastic patisserie on the other side of the high street and a lovely cafe at the end of the History Wall so I can attest there are some very nice people in Cockermouth, just not working in the Black Bull Pub.
