Reviews in Workington

oilys workington i have eaten here a few times now and i think the place is not consistent as every time has been different sometimes the meal is excellent and other times it is just average. the place it self is very nice although confusing as you are eating pub grub in restaurant style surroundings the staff and service:service is good most of the waiting staff are pleasant but there is a few unpleasent waiting staff this place will do well if it sorts its consistency and staff 8/10 good grub recommended

I recommend this place if you want nice food - and a manager who is just RUDE! Who will shout and embarrass you! 8/10 for food -10/10 for customer service!!

Looking for somewhere to dine-out in WestCumbria, then I can recommend “Oily’s” for your lunch time meal or evening dinner. On the A595 just out of Workington at Winscales Moor, this recently refurbished ‘pub offers a fine choice of good quality meals, freshly prepared under the direction of mine host and chef Warwick Muir. Not to be missed are his home made steak pie for main course and for sweet his special recipe sticky toffee pudding and for a starter try the spicy tomato soup. For Sunday lunch there is a set menu offering a choice of 3 starters, 3 main courses and 3 sweet, giving a 3 course Sunday lunch for under £ 10.00 of outstanding value for money.

Oilys, as it is now known, has gone through a massive change. its had a major face lift and total change of atmosphere. the restaurant is now very light and airy, with the old conservatory being ripped down and a new room being built. there is also now some decking outside the main entrance for the few days of summer a year we get. the menu is mixed, with all meats sourced locally. from normal "pub grub" like gammon, sausage etc and also fajitas, pastas and a few specials like duck on a potato rosti with mango and orange sauce which my girlfriend had. i had a rib eye steak which was fantastic. done to perfection and a very good cut. service was prompt and excellent, with the staff seeming to be enjoying themselves. we had a starter each, a main meal, girlfriend had a dessert while i had a coffee and the bill was £40 which i thought was decent. all in all, a completely different animal to the old oily johnny's, and i will definitely be going again.

Visited the Briery last Sunday for lunch - was really impressed with the amount of staff that were 'buzzing' around - everyone seemed to be working extremely hard to give a quality service and absolutely excellent meal to our group of 4. I shall be re-visiting on Wednesday 19th March with a large group from Nepgill Park -I am travelling all the way from Manchester for this meal - but I know it shall be first class. Well done to you all. Extremely well organised and like I mentioned above - excellent food. Now, that should warrant a pay rise to you all!!!!!!!!!!! Cheers!

Very friendly with quality food.

Excellent staff and food. Can't recommend this hotel enough ! If you haven't been it's well worth a visit.

I have eaten here on numerous occasions over the last 2 years. Consistently good food and plenty of it. Would continue to go back time and again. Very good value for money. Well laid out with restaurant separated from the main bar. Relaxing atmosphere.

A good curry house in modest surroundings. I have eaten here a number of times and have found the food to be great, The chicken Pili Pili is a must try for those who like their curries a bit hotter. The place would be even better if the waiters smiled a bit more, however!

Very nice and quick service, and always busy! Recommend to anyone. Always specials on aside a great tasty menu. Bar staff are great and the weekend waitresses are easy on the eye, two in particular! Just go and experience it, you won't be disappointed!

The food was more and more sumptuous with every mouthful.

always a welcoming smile and greeting, nice choice of menu and a pleasant atmosphere!!!!
