Getting a takeaway in Cockermouth
Main Street, the long street past Wordsworth House, has three of the six. The Alternative Takeaway at number 20 does pizzas, burgers, kebabs and wraps, The Spice Club at number 26 is an Indian restaurant that does takeaway with a discount on takeaway meals, and Lee’s at number 47 fries fish and chips and cooks a Chinese menu under the same roof. Fiza Spice is round the corner on South Street, Diamond Take-Away is on Lorton Street, and Little Basil, which does Thai and Chinese, is on the Market Place.
Every one of these takeaways takes orders by phone. Fiza Spice opens from 4pm daily and says on its website to call to order, and Little Basil opens evenings from Thursday to Sunday. We couldn’t confirm delivery for any of them, so ask when you ring. Two pizza places on Station Street are left off this page: one is Domino’s, and the other also trades in Maryport.
Deliveroo doesn’t list any restaurants in Cockermouth; its nearest coverage is Workington, about 13 km away. When we checked on 1 November 2026, Uber Eats showed six places for the town, all of them chains, a supermarket, a café or a waffle bar, with no independent takeaway among them. The town fills up for the Taste Cumbria food festival and the December Christmas market, and the Sunday market at Mitchell’s on the edge of town brings people in at the weekend.
Good to know: Little Basil only opens Thursday to Sunday evenings. Fiza Spice opens from 4pm every day, so it is the safe bet for an early or midweek curry.

How we choose
We list independent takeaways in Cockermouth that you can order from direct, either on their own website or by phone. National chains, cafés and delivery-app-only listings are left out, and so is anywhere with a food hygiene rating below 2. Nobody pays to appear, and being listed does not mean a takeaway uses tastie. We checked every listing against its Food Standards Agency record and the takeaway’s own listings (its website, social media page or directory entries) on 1 November 2026. Menus, prices, opening hours and delivery areas can change, so check with the takeaway before you order.
Hygiene ratings come from the Food Standards Agency. Contains public sector information licensed under the Open Government Licence v3.0. Spotted a mistake, or want your takeaway added or removed? Contact us.
