About The Honest Lawyer
On Main St in Cockermouth, The Honest Lawyer is a restaurant with seating overlooking the river. The menu runs from fish cakes and chips, cut and cooked on site, to seafood pasta and a choice of curries. It operates on a walk-in basis rather than taking reservations, so diners are seated as tables become free. The riverside tables offer a spot to sit with the water in view while working through the menu's mix of classic and heartier dishes. Between the homecut chips and the curry options, the kitchen covers both straightforward and more involved plates, giving visitors a range to choose from whether they stop by for something quick or a fuller meal by the river.

“Outstanding experience! Excellent quality food, warm and friendly service from the staff. Already looking forward to our next visit! My friend had the fish cakes & chips, packed with fish and really tasty, and he's from South Shields! I had the double cheeseburger. Quite simply, THEE best quality meat in the burgers I've ever had. Homecut chips were very tasty as well. The prices were very reasonable considering the quality and portions. Cannot recommend this establishment any higher. Visit, you must.”
