The Conservatory at the Melbreak logo in blackThe Conservatory is our popular restaurant at The Melbreak Hotel. We serve a selective menu for lunch, dinner, and afternoon tea, as well as delicious Sunday Lunches with all the trimmings. And all of this just outside Workington and within easy reach of Cockermouth and Whitehaven.

Look out for our special dining events, including tapas nights and bottomless brunches.

Due to the popularity of our restaurant, reservations are essential to avoid disappointment.

We recommend you arrive at least 15 minutes prior to your reservation, especially if you wish to have drinks before your meal; late arrivals may be subject to a lengthy delay should we need to attend to other diners who have arrived on time for their table reservation.

For all bookings please call the hotel on 01900 61443, use the widget above or email us at info@melbreakhotel.co.uk.

Due to the layout of the restaurant, large parties are at the discretion of management and subject to availability.
