Shills of Cockermouth Restaurant & Delicatessen - Cockermouth

My favourite restaurant in Cockermouth at the moment, we went when there was live music and the atmosphere was lovely. All the staff are so friendly and helpful, and the food is amazing! We shared the vegetarian platter and had a small dish each and there was so much variety! Great cocktails too, would definitely recommend:)

Just love this gorgeous café restaurant shop it’s so warm and inviting the staff are so friendly …particularly Jane. 🥰 The food is both beautifully presented and tasty. Girls coffee morning with a little heart biscuits for Valentines. Attention to detail is lovely.! ❤️😊

The tapas tastes very good. The service was a mixed bag. The atmosphere was lively enough. The price was a little steep. We didn’t try desserts. It was a reasonable experience overall but in spite of the good food, there was something ineffable about the place that wouldn’t draw me back.

Very tasty food. Loved it. Slight issue with the order, on the whole really good. Would recommend.

We visit Shills regularly and love the place.

Normally we sit downstairs as it's dog friendly and we take our dog who always gets a bowl of water and a few treats off the wonderful staff in there.

We normally have lunch, coffees and cakes while in Shills but also pop into the shop and pick up bits and bobs you simply can't get elsewhere.

Recently we've bought ginger bread tablets, loaf of miller bread, Turkish delight, various chocolates and a couple of cigars.

Reasonable prices, well stocked with things out of the ordinary, comfortable seating and brilliant, friendly staff.

Highly recommend.

Lovely breakfast and friendly staff. We stayed for two nights in Cockermouth and returned here for breakfast twice. Nicely fitted out restaurant upstairs with choice of seating and with a small downstairs area too, alongside the speciality food counter. Proper food and Lake District vibe. Parking available in the car park outside Sainsbury's (small charge, cards accepted including contactless). Highly recommended.

The service is lovely and the food is generally interesting and good. The interior is nice too. But the management should decide whether they're running a restaurant or a café if they want to improve their turnover and staff rewards. We visited for lunch and once the food was delivered, that felt like the end of the deal. Staff continued to greet and serve other customers but no one asked how our food was, cleared our plates or asked if we'd like anything else. (We would have ordered coffee and dessert.) No one brought a bill and in the end we deduced that it's pay at the till, which means you can't review the bill or consider a tip, to the detriment of the staff.
It's a nice place that could easily be better, so I hope these comments are helpful.
