| mmmmmmm- where to start - this place has the potential to be a cracking pub but is thwarted from being so.... why who knows? - a pub that markets itself on real ales shud be comfortable to drink in right? very much a eat or f**k off kinda place? staff highly strung as noted in previous reveiws..... other properties just down the road offer everything this place does and more with a much better atmosphere and overall attitude from staff/management ....... mcfly - 21 Dec 2010 17:27 |
| Reading previous reviews, maybe I was lucky not to meet the landlady, nor purchase food ! I visited this for a quick pint during the afternoon. The barman couldn't have been friendlier in a pub which is very attractive and welcoming. The on-site brewery is no longer here, having moved to new premises nearby, but their 'Bitter End' beers are still stocked on the bar and about five were available, as well as a guest from the Ulverston Brewery and a couple from Jennings. Nice pub with a very good range of real ales. Well worth a visit if you find yourself in Cockermouth. SouthYorkshireman - 17 Apr 2010 20:40 |
| IMHO this pub deserves much more than the 5.8 out of 10 (23rd Nov 09). I'd rate it 8+. Busy yes, it is popular!, and in my experience the staff have been very friendly. Beer always excellent, and plenty of choice. Food very good value and just the ticket after a hard day on the fells. JohnWilkinson - 23 Nov 2009 18:10 |
| 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 |
