Copper Fells Brasserie - Allerdale

Pizza night . No reservation needed . 9 of us were going for pizza night. We had already enquired about gluten free pizza and told to let them know on the day which we did to be told should have let them know earlier . Do they not cater for gluten free people all of the time. Unfortunately they have probably lost over £200 of income as we all decided not to leave a family member behind

We stayed at the park for a few nights and decided to eat here on the first evening to see how it was before deciding for the rest of the trip. The food is very 'ok ' nothing particularly special except it is presented very attractively. Prices are quite reasonable, and the drink selection is pretty good. One thing I cannot understand is the overuse of dried parsley which all of our chips were coated in, and I asked if the onion rings were homemade or frozen, I was told homemade and they definitely were not. The staff and the service here though is exceptional, which to me (with over 20 years of hospitality experience) and this can be the difference between a disappointing evening and a good one. Apparently, there is a new chef, and I am looking forward to see what he does with the menu as we will definitely be visiting again

We stayed here for a break and visited here for a drink in the afternoon and later on our tea. The bar area has some nice sofa areas but the other tables feel canteen/haven Park like. The staff are lovely and welcoming. After visiting various places like Maryport and Cockermouth and Keswick..we paid close to £12 for a Pinot and a pint I expected big prices here....but cheapest we had found...being from Manchester we pay over the odds so pleasantly surprised. We ordered beef burger and fish and chips Again all the prices we had seen were round about £17 for a burger and £15 for fish and chips...here was £12 and really good! Fast service. Lovely staff (claire) fab food. We did a big shop before coming here for 4 nights but knowing this now I wished we had tried pizza night on Wednesday night...

Positives great bar selection, ok choice of foods (nothing too adventurous though), delicious food. Average service. Negatives an age to wait for all courses (over an hour for a salad, burger and two spag bols in a below half full restaurant), wrong bill presented at the end. Overall would not recommend.

Very clean restaurant and bar with a nice ambiance and well looked after toilets. We were a party of six and had a window seat with a pleasant view. The staff were friendly and helpful, just one minor issue with service in that one if the waiters kept leaning over one of our party to clear dishes which wasn’t ideal. The food was overall nice enough, though my nut roast was rock hard and either over or undercooked, however we did let them know and they were good enough to take this meal off the bill. I thought the meals were slightly overpriced for the size of the portions, however I guess you pay for the convenience of the restaurant being on the site. Overall a pleasant restaurant with great staff and I would go back here again, however do make sure you book in advance as it is always very busy.
