Dining at this acclaimed restaurant, praised for its AA Rosette, offers a mixed experience. While the décor exudes traditional charm and the atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food can be inconsistent. Some dishes shine with creativity and flavor, particularly the salmon and scallops, while others, such as the halibut risotto, have disappointed. Service varies; some patrons enjoyed attentive staff, while others found it lacking at times. However, the generous two-course meal offers and the use of fresh, local ingredients add value. Overall, it’s a restaurant that, despite some hiccups, many express a desire to revisit.

Was josephh424 at Derwent a mag?
Had dinner here as part of our hotel deal and I personally loved the food here. Had seared scallops as a starter followed by pan fried salmon and then a milk and white chocolate mousse. The dishes were creative, packed with flavour and not too filling. My vegetarian partner was not as impressed due to others with her main.

What maxwell b dislikes about Derwent:
We ate here on two evenings, having seen that it had been awarded an AA Rosette. Sadly the food disappointed. Whilst our starters were acceptable, the main courses were poor. In particular the Halibut and mussel risotto at £24 was a disaster. Hot plates were not used which didn't help and dishes. Maybe the chef was on holiday but that is no excuse. View all feedback.

We stayed at the Trout Hotel and made a reservation for dinner at their Derwent Restaurant. It was fantastic! The atmosphere was lovely, the food was delicious and plentiful, and the service was wonderful. My husband had a steak and I had the sea bream, both of which were gorgeous. We were so full that we had no room for dessert, but they sounded amazing! Overall, it was great value for the experience.

We enjoyed a relaxed dinner in the Derwent restaurant the other evening. We have been there several times before and always have had good food and service. It's not the cheapest in Cockermouth but the quality of the cooking is always excellent. The three of us chose from the short menu so felt we had good value, quality local ingredients which were beautifully cooked. We look forward to our next visit to Cockermouth and the Derwent Restaurant.

This Restaraunt within the Trout Hotel is a great place to eat, not the cheapest of places but wonderful local meat, seafood and vegetables

Had Breakfast here which was really nice and consisted of a Continental style buffet breakfast reinforced with a full English if you wanted it. Both excellent and the service, environment and 'homely ' feel to this Hotel went down a treat!
