"We were very disappointed with our visit to the Honest Lawyer. We could have complained but didn't want to spoil our evening. It was felt the staff were very inexperienced, the food was tasteless and bland; definitely not the usual food we have eaten here before. The ambiance of the place felt different than before and we really didn't feel welcome. We were a party of 6. 4 of us had the duck and 2 the cod. The duck was very tough and not cooked quite enough, oozing with blood. The cod dish was tasteless and bland. The picture on Facebook of the duck dish was nothing like the dish we were served; we were short of vegetables. It didn't taste like duck but of blood. We would advise using a little more seasoning and ensure the food tastes good before being served. The crushed potatoes were horrible and definitely no seasoning added. All we can say is; the issues are probably caused through badly trained staff and shortages of skilled and experienced hospitality staff probably due to Covid and Brexit. We appreciate that the hospitality industry has been badly affected but it was poor vale for money and not a good experience. Very sad to say we wont be back."

Second visit to restaurant, 1st visit food and service were excellent, so we rebooked, and took family who were visiting us. Service was not good such a shame as the food was excellent

Good food and service. Disappointed with the lack of ventilation in the restaurant considering the very high covid infection rate in Cumbria. Staff wore face masks which was pleasing to see, where other places were not.

We had burgers which were really tasty but one was meant to be gluten free. Unfortunately they mixed up the top and bottom of the buns meaning neither was presented properly. Staff did apologise but no discount on bill was offered. View menu

I was extremely dissatisfied with the food at this restaurant. I ordered the cod and requested a salad instead of vegetables on the side. However, when my meal arrived, the fish was barely warm and the salad only included a few lettuce leaves and three pieces of sun-dried tomato. Despite the subpar meal, I was still charged the full price. My friend ordered a burger, which was also lukewarm and lacked flavor. The only positive note was that her chips were still hot.

My partner and I have travelled from Liverpool for a weekend in the Lakes. We stopped here in Cockermouth on our way through having booked a table with yourselves through OpenTable. I even confirmed yesterday when contacted by OpenTable. We arrived this evening, closed…..? My contact details were provided, I’ve not been contacted, and there was no explanation offered. After traipsing round Cockermouth I’ve finally found somewhere to eat, and told that you are now closed by another restaurant manager. To not have the decency to contact a customer to say you are closed is appalling. It would take 30seconds of your time and cost literally nothing. If a customer just chose not to turn up you wou...
