We were here for Sunday lunch it was one of the best meals we have ever had the service was excellant showing us straight to our table giving us a... read more couple of minutes to choose our drink then back a little later for us to order our main meal we opted for Sunday roast wow it was superb after a little rest the waitress returned with desert menu which was gorgeous . We would recommend it to anyone we will be back

  We selected the Apple Inn on the strength of the menu. I was looking for a good range of vegetarian dishes and my wife needed a menu which had a... read more good selection of dishes other than fish and beef which she cannot eat and the Apple Inn filled the bill. We both agreed the meal was very good quality, well cooked, and very tasty in fact excellent. If you are visiting Cumberland then we highly recommend the Apple Inn.

  First time having a meal here in many years, I’ve eaten a number of times at The Apple Core.
Firstly, the food. Outstanding would be the best description. A... read more mark of a good restaurant is on how fresh their fish is. And I can honestly say that it is freshly delivered every day. I had scallops, pork belly and black pudding for starters and everything was perfectly cooked. I do tend to caramelise scallops when cooking at home, but having had them cooked properly, I’m converted. It’s a nice sized portion as a starter as well. For main, again sticking with seafood, I had the fish and chips. Considering that Seahouses is only a few miles away (and famous for their fish and chips) The Apple Inn, by far makes the best fish and chips. The batter is crispy and delicious, the fish is flaky and juicy, the chips are fried in beef dripping so they’re really tasty, home made mushy peas and tartare sauce. I am a big eater and I honestly struggled to finish so the portions are excellent size and value. Service was friendly and despite my booking not been logged correctly, the staff were brilliant in getting us a table. Definitely will be back to enjoy more great food in this brilliant restaurant.

  Maybe it was we were at table 13 but some of the service was dreadful.. we were seated and had to wait 15 minutes for someone to ask if we... read more wanted any drinks which was not acceptable as two tables who came in after us were already enjoying their drinks. I did point this out and the waitress shrugged and said she thought somebody else had taken it but as she had shown us our table I would have thought she she should have taken it.When the drinks did come they were thumped onto the table!

The food we ordered did come out not long after we ordered and was very good and the waitress who brought it was very nice and pleasant.

The third waitress however who took our plates away muttered something which I didn’t catch so she repeated “ did we want puddings” yes we would like to see the dessert menu was the reply. We gave up waiting after 10 minutes so went to the bar to pay. The nice waitress was doing our bill when a gentleman behind the bar asked how we was everything. We told him the issues and again a shrug and they were busy. I would like to disagree it wasn’t that busy and he didn’t seem bothered that they had lost a sale of 3 £50 meal vouchers. Customer service definitely needs reviewing
