Quince & Medlar

Another lovely meal at the Quince & Medlar, brilliant food as ever, warm and friendly service, a real treat in these difficult times.

Lovely meal at Quince & Medlar last night, can't wait for the next taster session 👌

If you are a foodie searching for a top quality dining experience, this is the place for you! The atmosphere is warm and intimate, the service friendly and unobtrusive, and the ingredients are picked to compliment each other perfectly, all being cooked to the highest standard. I live 286 miles away from this restaurant, but I can guarantee I will be returning.

A beautiful, cozy and welcoming restaurant with an innovative and delicious menu. We had the taster menu and it was perfect. I opted for the local cheese selection which was incredible! COVID precautions excellently adhered too. We will be back!

Just had a beautiful meal from the quince and medlar in Cockermouth. The food was from the taster menu. 3 starters, 3 main, and 3 puddings. I did not think vegetarian food could taste so good. Lovely hospitality. Definitely recommend.

We visited Quince and Medlar for the first time yesterday and it didn't disappoint. The food was interesting and delicious, the portion sizes were adequate. The surroundings were quirky and cosy with an open fire which was welcome at this time of year. We will certainly visit again when in the area.

Great menu, never thought vegan and vegetarian food could be so tasty. Owners and staff very friendly and welcoming. Was a great place to celebrate our wedding anniversary

This is a smallish, family-owned and run restaurant, and it shows. Everything is carefully orchestrated and exquisitely planned, and yet it has a homey, casual feel. Reservations are a must, and my understanding is that they book up quite quickly, and that late arrivals are frowned upon. However, it's absolutely worth the trouble. There's no dress code, jeans aren't frowned upon, though people tend to dress a bit more nicely than they might for just a walk down to the pub. The food is absolutely lovely, well-thought and absolutely delicious, and even dedicated meat-eaters will find themselves quite satisfied at the end of the meal. The menu changes seasonally. Do linger a bit and have a cup of coffee or tea after your meal, if for no other reason than to try the homemade chocolates, they're divine.
