Restaurants in St Bees

We ate here on the first evening of our Coast to Coast walk. The meal and service were so good that we booked in for a second night. However, the second experience was very different. Firstly, my order was wrong - mushroom tagliatelle turned up as carbonara. Not a problem initially as the waitress apologised (she was very pleasant) and said that the correct order would only take a couple of minutes. This should have rung alarm bells. Indeed, within 5 minutes my mushroom tagliatelle arrived but was literally mushrooms in cream with pasta with a load of dried herbs on the top. I ate what I could (and having walked 15 miles that day I was hungry!) but it was so bland that I gave up. My husband's pork belly bites had been microwaved and were so hard that he couldn't eat them and his pea and ham soup was like pureed mushy peas with no ham! We did what we could, but expressed our dissatisfaction when our plates were collected. We were offered a replacement meal and a free dessert but by this time had lost the will and left.
