Cafe Nero in Carlisle

Loved the venue but the food was not stunning. The 'special' open prawn sandwich was over priced and needed a bit of finesse in the presentation as it was a load of frozen prawns dumped on two huge slices of bread that 99% of the population could have produced. The cheese & cranberry quiche although ordered as 'warm' was cold and pretty solid with a thin filling not worthy of the price tag. Maybe the staff need to visit other cafes to see their expertise and presentation skills.

Staff were lovely, particularly the canteen staff. Canteen prices were exorbitant - 8.50 for a very standard tuna mayo baguette isn't sustainable. However the coffee was excellent. In the garden centre there were plants strewn around on the floor but perhaps they were just having a bad day (and no it wasn't particularly windy).

Fantastic place, bar staff very friendly. Very cheap drink and always get a good beer, never taken one back yet. Karaoke usually on a Friday and Sunday evening. Usually very busy. Don't sell food unless you want crisps etc. Toilet for disabled.

A lovely warm welcome as me & Benji-Dog walked in from a crisp, winter walk in the park. Dog friendly, humans welcome too! 😆 Delicious food & drinks. I had a cappuccino & bacon barm to warm my cockles 👍 😋 wheelchair ♿️ friendly & carparks on both sides of the park. Lots of squirrels & wildlife too!

I have order quite a few things, and I always find the food to be nice and hot and very tasty.. The delivery person is always very polite ( one young lady even brought my recycling bags to the front door for me, which I found to be so kind as I have very poor vision ). I'd like to say a great big thank you for the food is excellent..
