Beatfords Country Kitchen

Ate here at lunchtime today. My ham sandwich was delicious. My wife's vegetable soup was hearty and filling. The tea was hot and plentiful, and the trifle for afters was outstanding.

Charming tearoom with excellent home baking and friendly service. Wide range of cakes and tray bakes, fresh sandwiches toasties. Very reasonably priced oh and they are dog friendly too. Their scones are IMMENSELY good!!

A lot of obviously regular diners were lunching,the friendly waitresses knew their personal favourites. The choice for food was excellent,and the display of cakes amazing. I can recommend the sticky toffee pudding with custard! View menu

Nipped in for a quick bite to eat. Clean and tidy traditional cafe. Staff very pleasant and attentive. Value for money toastie with a lovely fresh side salad and coleslaw. Very popular across lunchtime. Would definitely revisit

There’s a particular middle aged, blonde haired waitress I’d like to give a mention to.She is the most unpleasant and rude one I’ve came across in a while.If she was there when I left I was going to have a word and see what the problem was.Anyway, the younger 2 are lovely.Dry scones, bland soup and an average toastie.I’d give this place a miss.We will not return.

Lashing down with rain we popped in here for a quick drink before heading home, found a seat, and our order was taken quickly. Then we sat and waited it was a good 15 to 20 mins for our americano and hot chocolate to arrive, which i thought was rather exsessive for 2 simple drinks, it would have been understandable if the cafe was full but there lots of empty tables, there was also a mix up and a milky coffee came aswel, which we hadnt ordered. The drinks were nice and the staff were pleasant, but we had to gulp them down and still leave some as the car ticket was up. View menu

Visited on successive days. Lovely old fashioned English tea rooms. 1st visit we just had a pot of tea for two served almost immediately. 2nd visits we had the same but my wife a chocolate chip cookie and I had a chocolate éclair. Both were home made and both were delicious and then some! The éclair especially as it was chock full of fresh cream not that rubbish squirty stuff from a can! The éclair was about the size of my hand as well! The total bill for tea for two and the two treats ? £5.80!!! Incredible value. Spotlessly clean venue and very attentive and friendly staff.

Lovely selection on the menu from breakfasts and light lunches to afternoon tea. Everything is freshly prepared and served very quickly which was great as we had limited parking on the street . We took cakes and scones out for later as we were too full after our delicious fresh ham salads. All the meals can be eaten in or take out and also tables can be booked. Lovely staff and dog friendly too, with a relaxing patio for outdoor dining in summer,there 's a lovely atmosphere in this quaint and bright little gem of a place ....definitely our 'go to 'place when were in Cockermouth.

I used to frequent this place without incident by myself. the younger staff are great but the older staff look down their noses at me and my daughter Saskia. Saskia has extra needs her food needs to be cut up small to prevent choking and she has mayo with everything. They have small sachets and they begrudgingly give more than 2 sachets. The staff were overheard slagging me off in the kitchen regarding said mayo sachets on our last visit. They rolled their eyes when I asked for crusts to be removed. I didn’t dare ask for food to be cut up small too!. In short I said I wouldn’t be back and one lady said that it was a good idea that I didn’t! Disgusting! View menu
