Derwent - Carta

Excellent, well presented food. Very generous portions! Piping hot, staff very accommodating and will get something not on the menu if requested

Beautiful elegant dining room,suitable for wedding and afterwards in the gardens,the food is always just perfect and we are so looking forward to our stay when the Trout reopens after the flood damage

Had Breakfast here which was really nice and consisted of a Continental style buffet breakfast reinforced with a full English if you wanted it. Both excellent and the service, environment and 'homely ' feel to this Hotel went down a treat! Ver carta

Really good sized portions, if you like meat try the Steak, Meat feast or the Beef Strogonoff. Alternatively, the fish was just as good. Loved the fact that we were able to eat in the restaurant from the bar menu which ensured plenty of choice over the Xmas period.

We stayed at the Trout Hotel and made a reservation for dinner at their Derwent Restaurant. It was fantastic! The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the service was wonderful. My husband had a steak and I had the sea bream, both of which were gorgeous. We were so full that we had no room for dessert, but they sounded amazing! Overall, it was great value for the experience.

I made a reservation at this restaurant and received lovely service. The meal was excellent, although it was a bit pricey. The staff were very helpful and friendly. It was definitely worth visiting for a special treat. They also have special offers that make it more affordable, but we chose to indulge in their steak and were not disappointed. The restaurant has a cozy decor and background music playing, creating a nice atmosphere. Ver carta

We enjoyed a relaxed dinner in the Derwent restaurant the other evening. We have been there several times before and always have had good food and service. It's not the cheapest in Cockermouth but the quality of the cooking is always excellent. The three of us chose from the short menu so felt we had good value, quality local ingredients which were beautifully cooked. We look forward to our next visit to Cockermouth and the Derwent Restaurant.

My wife and I had dinner at the Derwent Restaurant for Valentine's Day. I found it strange that they had us sit in the pub like area first to order our food. I'm sure our table was ready and I would have preferred to sit in the formal dining room and order instead of a noisy area. But the selection of food was nice and everything I had was delicious. Service was good with one exception, when I purchase an expensive bottle of champagne I shouldn't have to pour my own glass. But all in all, an enjoyable dinner.

We went mid- week to take advantage of the £10 for 2 courses meal offer. For a country town hotel the restaurant was gorgeous. The service was impeccably welcoming and the menu nicely varied. The wine at £12 per bottle was surprisingly good. I had the terrine and pheasant, unfortunately both were lacking in much flavour and this reduces the whole marking to only average. The pheasant plate was however nicely presented. The coffee was hot, plentiful and tasty. The bill totalled at £37.50 for two. All in all we had a good evening and will definitely return. Ver carta
