Sunday Lunch in Cockermouth at Shill’s
If you’re after a proper Sunday roast in Cockermouth, Shill’s is open for lunch every Sunday from 12 until 3, and it’s fast becoming a favourite spot for locals, families and visitors exploring this corner of the Lake District.
A roast dinner, your way
Our Sunday menu is built around choice. Pick your meat as a main, then build your own plate from a generous selection of sides:
- Roast topside of beef, roast chicken supreme or roast leg of lamb (all gluten free available)
- A sharer board with all three, for the indecisive or the hungry
- House nut roast for vegetarian guests
Every roast comes with Yorkshire pudding and gravy, and the sharing sides are designed for the table: roast potatoes, garlic mash, pigs in blankets, honey glazed chantenay carrots and parsnips, cauliflower cheese, spring cabbage and more. It’s the kind of spread that suits a big Sunday get-together as well as a quieter table for two.
Perfect for families and groups
Sunday lunch at Shill’s works whether you’re bringing the whole family, meeting friends, or looking for a regular weekend spot. The sharing format means everyone can build their own plate without arguments over who gets the last Yorkshire pudding, and there’s plenty on the menu for different tastes and dietary needs, making it one of the more relaxed options for family dining in Cockermouth.
More than just a roast
Shill’s isn’t a typical carvery. Downstairs, we’re a working deli, so if you fancy taking something home for the week ahead, artisanal cheese, a bottle of wine, or one of our chutneys, it’s all right there before or after your meal. Upstairs, the café and wine bar side of things means you can happily linger over a glass of something good rather than being moved on the moment plates are cleared. For anyone genuinely asking where to eat Sunday lunch in Cockermouth, that combination, a traditional Sunday roast in Cumbria alongside a proper deli and wine bar, is what sets a Sunday visit here apart from a standard pub roast.
A local favourite, and a Lake District stop-off
Cockermouth sits right on the edge of the Lake District, so if you’re visiting the area for the day, Sunday lunch at Shill’s is a good way to refuel between walks or sightseeing. Locals know us as a reliable Sunday spot; visitors tend to come back once they’ve found us.
Set across two floors of a lovely sandstone building on South Street, Shill’s brings together a deli, café and wine bar under one roof, so there’s a relaxed, unhurried feel to a Sunday visit, quite different from a typical pub carvery.
A Sunday for every season
Sunday lunch here works all year round, whether that’s a hearty roast to warm up after an autumn or winter walk, a leisurely table in spring or summer once the Lake District crowds are out, or one of the last Sundays before the Christmas rush, when a relaxed roast and a browse of the deli’s gift hampers make a nice pairing.
Booking your table
Sunday lunch is popular, so booking ahead is recommended, particularly if you’re a larger group. You can reserve your table online through our booking system.
