| We go in here occasionally when there is something on at the theatre next door. We have probably been in about a dozen times in the last 3 years. Whenever we have been in for just a drink we have never had a problem. We have only eaten here once and it was not a pleasent experience. We had gone in with a couple of elderly relatives and had paid for our meal and a round of drinks when we ordered. As someone else mentioned we had to shout our order to the bar maid who would not come any closer to us than the till. My girlfriend was pregnant at the time and wanted a very weak shandy with lots of ice. The barmaid insisted that she could not pour less than a half of either lemonade or beer. This was despite the fact that I had had a lemonade splash in my lager. Then she would only give us a maximum of 4 ice cubes - no explanation was given for either of these. Eventually I ordered the drinks seperately and made the drink myself!!! As we were leaving we were shouted at in front of the whole pub demanding our bill be paid by both the landlady and the bar maid. It wasn't even our bill they wanted us to pay but the table next to us. No apology or anything. This seems to happen a lot. I wonder how many people actually pay twice? Overall service was awful but the beer and the food are good - its a shame really as this pub could be excellent. thewrongtrousers - 24 Jul 2008 13:33 |
| Another fantastic pub run excellently by the staff and owners alike - the real ale is always on form and top class and the food and helpings is usually very large and of good quality. I like the place - it's outside of being Cockermouth's best pub, its in a different league. I like a lot of the town's pubs, it's just with location and type of business that the Bitter End operates within then it's more a landmark pub and not just the usual locals and tourists thing. Always try to get back when I can. Mcloj - 1 Apr 2008 14:34 |
| Miserable landlady spoils the experience of what could be a 10/10 pub. snecklifter - 20 Dec 2007 18:35 |
| This is a Fantastic pub! Good Beer, Good Food and Friendly Staff! but it gets very busy at times, we had to wait about 15 mins for a table and landlady made sure we got the next available one, very efficient and well worth the wait. My wife had the ‘Salmon en Croute’ off the specials board and I had the ‘Steak & Ale Pie’, we can honestly say it was the best pub meal we have ever eaten! There’s a good selection of wines and real ales including two from a micro-brewery which is actually in the pub! Well worth the visit and we will be back. Gordon_Phillips - 2 Dec 2007 13:47 |
| What a Nightmare ! first off i was abused by the Landlady for asking for extra salad that i was prepared to pay for. Then when the food was slapped down on the table and it was the worst meal i have ever had all deep fried and tasteless. This is one place i do not recomend as the staff and Landlady are the worst example of Catering staff i have ever come across anonymous - 1 Aug 2007 13:43 |
