Me and my husband visit Oilys regularly. I think this place has very good staff, very good food and the area of the place is very relaxing. Overall I think this place is excellent standard and I give it top marks for the West Cumbrian Area. Well done Oilys

We visited on 24/10/09 at 6pm. Bar was just staring to fill up. Nobody was attending the restaurant desk. After a short wait - we were seated. Food was quick to come out. Food was nothing special -however the prices were. Service was impersonal. Prices too high. Seems to be a popular spot. Car park is always full. Good selection of lagers / beers and wines.

Popped in for tea and cake at 2.30pm on 25/10/09. We got lots of cake! We ordered a carrot cake and chocolate sponge. Huge portions! Made fresh on site. Moist and delicious! Well worth a visit. They also have a dining menu if you require a meal.

Visited Jintana as a party of four (9 Oct 2009), we had not booked but was assured there would be a table in 5 mins. True to her word and as busy as they were 5 mins later we were warmly greeted and shown to the table. The food was absolutely first class and two of us who quite regularly eat Thai food agreed this was the best tasting Thai food we had ever tasted. The service and friendliness matched the high standard of the food. I would not hesitate going back for a second - unlike the Indian restaurant further down .... but that is a different story lol

I loved this Chinese and went back for a meal a few weeks ago and I was very disappointed :( the meal was really bad, very expensive and they were serving me tesco value lemonade. I will never be back I could have cooked a better Chinese myself.

My husband and I enjoyed a fantastic meal at the Kingfisher recently. We both had starters, the best seafood mornay we had ever tasted for the main course, my husband had a sweet. With two drinks each, the bill came to less than £55. Excellent value for some of the best food we have eaten in a restaurant in a while. The restaurant is modern, the staff were excellent, the setting is superb. We felt as though we had top class food at reasonable prices, not the usual rip off for good food cleverly presented. We will be back soon for another visit even though we live an hour away.

My husband and I have eaten takeaway's from The Spice Club for nearly a year. We have always been extremely happy with the food, prices and service we have had. We would highly recommend this restaurant to everyone that enjoys good honest food.

Me and my family ate at this Indian restaurant this evening after hearing good things about the Spice Club. Although the decor of the restaurant is neat and having a nice atmosphere, there is nothing distinctly Indian about the interior or the vibe. The starters were well presented and the meat/fish was well cooked. However despite being called the 'Spice' Club, there was no palatable spice or exciting flavours in the appetisers and we had to request some chillis to invigorate some sort of flavour. However the starters were still at a decent standard. One of the waiters proceeded to spill a glass of water over one of the members of our party. However, this was completely dismissed as an honest mistake on his part, it might have had something to do with the tables being such a small size. The main course was brought out quickly (questioning the freshness of the sauces the food was cooked in). We ordered a chicken tikka masala, which was so rich and contained so much coconut (which I have never experience in this dice) that I felt like I was already eating dessert. The lamb biriyani and prawn bhuna tried to make up for this, but again they had no spice and flavour. We had also asked for some spices after having our starters but the mains were presented with just chopped green chillis over the top. Perhaps the reason as to why you can choose the meat accompanying the sauce is because the sauces are pre-made, which means they cannot alter the flavours. When the host asked us if our meal was ok, I politely let him know that the chicken tikka masala was a bit sweet. Instead of apologising or telling me that is how they prepare it, he ranted on about how he was from Birmingham (which in his view is the major culinary centre of the finest indian cuisine) and that all chicken tikka masala dishes are meant to be prepared as sweet as possible with ridiculous amounts of coconut and that I was wrong. I was a bit confused on why he asked me if the meal was ok, when he couldn't take my opinion on it and wonder if anyone has ever explained to him that the customer is always right. Personally, I won't be going back to the Spice Club anytime soon. I presume the reason they enjoy reasonable success in the Cockermouth area is because they are the only presentable Indian/Bangladeshi cuisine in the locality. However, this restaurant would certainly be very average in comparison to the top Indian restaurants in the country.

Worried Debiter

I ate here for my anniversary meal in Sept 09. I paid the bill on my debit card and 1 week later had extra money debited out of my account by this restaurant. When I contacted them to discuss what had happened they advised me that unfortunatly they had under charged me and they had debited the extra amount that I owed them out of my account, without my permission. I was unaware I had been undercharged and paid my bill in good faith, but to discover that someone from the Postillion Restaurant had taken it upon themselves not only to keep hold of my debit card details but to enter them again into their card machine and draw extra money out of my account without my permission I find worrying.
