Carlisle Cathedral Cafe 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.

Visited twice in one day as it was so good . Very busy but very efficiently run , with great staff and plenty of space down in the undercroft. Also dog friendly downstairs! Food and drinks first class.

I have been here many times since it opened. The food is always good,fresh and very nicely presented. The staff are friendly and it is a lovely building great toilets and their prices are reasonable . It is in the grounds of the cathedral and there are tables outside when weather permits ,so lovely and peaceful

This is a wonderful oasis of calm.There is an indoor and outdoor area.We sat outside on a lovely warm day.The food was delicious and a great place to sit peacefully for a while.

Lovely cafe in the grounds of Carlisle Cathedral. Great coffee. We also ate Cajun flat bread, soup and frittata which were all very tasty. You can sit outside, in the main cafe or down stairs in the vaulted area which also had an art exhibition. A special mention to the supervisor James who kindly came to my rescue and fixed my bike puncture. What a kind thing to do. Thanks James !!😃

Lovely cafe nice food. Reasonably priced. Airy welcoming environment. Bright with large windows. Outside or inside in the grounds of the cathedral. Disabled access outstanding. Staff lovely and very helpful.

This cafe is epic. Really close to the cathedral so the setting is beautiful for a start. Clean and bright inside and the staff were warm and welcoming. Plenty of choice of light meals and snacks, cakes and coffees. They cater for vegans, gluten free diet and vegetarians with lots of choice on offer to meet needs. Tasty fresh sandwiches made to order with large choice of fillings and the cakes looked great. Coffee was great too and reasonably priced. We loved it and wished we were local so we could go back!

Nice airy, clean cafe with great accessibility, nice toilets and good menu. Very pleasant staff who work hard, serving hot drinks, snacks and light meals in a friendly professional manner. Can be busy at certain times and service can be a wee bit slow then. The experience is even better on warm sunny days as there is ample outdoor seat, right beside the ancient cathedral.

Located next to the cathedral, the cafe is clean, pleasant, airy & full of daylight through the large gothic windows. Has a very nice ambiance. Decent menu & the service was exceptionally quick. Great choice of sandwiches, quiche, soup etc. Staff all very pleasant, would recommend.
