About Aspava Restaurant

Aspava brings Turkish cooking to the centre of Cockermouth from its Main Street restaurant. The menu is built around freshly prepared dishes including grilled meats, mezze, vegetable dishes and Turkish specialities, with breakfast, coffee and sweets also part of the offer at different times.

The restaurant draws on the food traditions of Gaziantep and is a strong option for groups because sharing plates and mixed grills make it easy to explore several flavours. Vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free requirements can be discussed with the team, but anyone with allergies should always confirm current ingredients directly when ordering.

Aspava is right in the town centre, so it works well after Wordsworth House, shopping or a walk around Market Place. It is one of Cockermouth's busiest independent restaurants, making advance booking sensible for popular evening slots and weekends.

The Cumbria Guru verdict

Our local note

One of Cockermouth's standout independent restaurants, especially good when you want generous Turkish flavours and a meal that feels different from standard pub food.
