I visited your sister bar at number 12 last night. After walking in the manager told us that we had insulted the 15 year old that works there. We asked what we had said but the manager couldn’t confirm how we had insulted the 15 year old. Needless to say we left confused and insulted ourselves. I would suggest not putting a 15 year old into a situation whereby they have to deal with adults drinking. I will not be returning to either of your bars. Terrible service and insulting staff.

The takeaway service that they introduced during Lockdown was brilliant! I home they keep some aspect of it going when open fully again.

I had a great evening with my family at Number 11. The food was tasty and the restaurant was cosy. I would like more to choose from on the menu but maybe I am picky. I would go back.

We’d been dying to try Number 11 Market Place, a new restaurant in Whitehaven, since it opened last month. It’s easy to book using Open Table, or by contacting the restaurant directly. The first thing that I noticed was the on trend decor. It feels homely, and the use of original features (the floating door and fireplace were my favourites) is impressive. The menu is quite unique for West Cumbria, which was refreshing! Our party ordered a range of starters: mac and cheese, chilli nachos, salt and pepper prawns and a blooming onion. The food was brought out quickly; it tasted fresh and added to the homely feel. For mains, we had a good sample from the menu. We tried the Smoked Brisket Burnt Ends from the Smokehouse, the Number 11 Burger, the Halloumi Burger and the Bistro Rump Steak. Again, the service was speedy but the quality was still fresh and delicious. The four of us were very pleased with the meals. Mr Guru upgraded his fries to Peperoni Pizza Fries… a wise decision as they were epic. Being new to Number 11 Market Place, we felt that it would be rude not to end the evening with a pudding! Sticky Toffee Pudding, Chocolate Fudge Cake… the options were fabulous. One thing that I really loved about the place, is that Tom and his team insist on using Cumbrian produce as much as possible. Everything was of a high quality and, for what you got, very well priced. We’ll definitely be back and highly recommend that you visit. When you do go, tell Tom that Cumbria Guru sent you!
