Celebrations Cafe Bar Royale in Carlisle

Their food was delicious along with the first class service that we received. We will definitely go back again in the future.

On our visits to Carlisle this is generally our “go to” cafe. However, on this occasion the food was very poor quality. My wife had “sticky sausage” & the sausages were like rubber & tasteless. I had steak sandwich which was overcooked & too much grizzle in. In addition the steak sandwich was a lot smaller than previous times. The whole meal was also expensive compared to other places.

Fantastic staff, friendly and efficient. Lovely menu and generous portions. I loved the dressing on the salad ... I would definately eat there again

Visited with my family. Found it to be good but rather expensive for what we ordered. Small tables and it was on the chilly side too. Don’t want to feel like I need to leave my coat on. The service was very good though.

I often pass and have never decided to have lunch here. I was pleasantly surprised. The portions were absolutely massive and tasted pretty good. I would happily return for a lunch time.

Visited whilst staying with friends. Met by a lovely young lady who was very friendly and despite waiting much longer than the supposed five minutes for one of our party to arrive she remained patient and friendly. When it came to ordering some items unavailable to be fair it was late on. Our order came no problem other than I got French fries not chips others had chips so don't know why and unfairness I didn't ask. Overall a enjoyable meal. Bit overpriced for what we had but acceptable.

This cafe is centrality located . Parking is okay if you have a disabled disc and their is a space.. I was very disappointed to find no cakes available for vegans or people with dairy intolerance like myself..

Visited for lunch with my daughter, despite walking past at least 2 staff members we were not greeted at all, we found a table ourselves and sat and waited, and waited we were early for lunch and the only table waiting to be served, eventually a waitress came but took an order from another table first!! We had by this time waited for around 10 minutes. Eventually a waitress came to our table and asked ‘have you ordered yet?’ Surely this is something you should know as you are taking the orders?? We ordered our food and drinks, I had to go and ask for a clean glass as there was lipstick left on my glass!! And our food arrived shortly afterwards, it was ok nothing other than ok, expensive for what it was not much filling in my wrap and not a lot of flavour except that of the mountains of lettuce, not much halloumi and far too much onion in the ‘salad’ coleslaw was very nice, chips were overcooked and dry. All in all I won’t say I would at all rush back I was rather disappointed this time. No one came to ask if everything was ok with food and was not asked when I went to pay just told how much it was not even a please or thank you!

This little gem does one of the nicest cappuccinos in Carlisle. The staff are polite, knowledgeable & always acknowledge my children as well as the adults. The food is divine & fresh & the place is spotless. It has some of the cleanest facilities in Carlisle. Perfect for brunch!

Went for breakfast with teenage granddaughter. She ordered full English I ordered bacon sandwich. Good service, but food poor to awful. I returned my bacon sandwich as very pale and some fat not cooked. I had cut one half in 2 . The staff took it away and brought it back 5 mins later totally unchanged. They hadn’t even bothered to cover this up as nothing had moved on the plate. Granddaughter ate most of her full English to be fair. Paid in full but no tip ,

Had the best afternoon tea with ever had would highly recommend trying it .Will definitely be getting it again .

Excellent service, friendly and welcoming staff. Food was amazing and excellent value for money. Will definitely be back for another visit soon.

Credit where credit is due- the food wasn’t bad! Bread was soft, chips nicely cooked and side salad dressing was tasty. Staff were helpful and covid procedures were clear and being upheld. BUT... £1.95 for some black currant cordial and tap water is a bit of p-take. Value for money wasn’t good at all. Generally I would expect to be charged around 50p for cordial for the kids but I wouldn’t even be bothered had it been a pound but this was ridiculous. Sort it out!

I was looking for somewhere that offered a takeaway afternoon tea for Mother’s Day. I came across Celebrations on Facebook and the pictures showed a fantastic spread and I liked the choice of either standard afternoon tea, Prosecco afternoon tea or G & Afternoon T! Ordering was quick and easy and Sonya was very accommodating in what surely was an incredibly busy period. The boxes looked lovely and were decorated with a rose which was a lovely touch. The food though, that was the star of the show! It all tasted so fresh and homemade and there was more than plenty and the price point was ideal!

Lovely bright, clean, slick cafe where we had a lovely brunch. Good menu, would recommend. Good attention to social distancing for Covid.

Lovely, clean little restaurant within a crafty shop in the centre of Carlisle. The menu is varied and reasonably priced and there are specials every day. Staff were friendly and helpful and place was spacious. Food was hot and very tasty and the coffee was great. Only slight criticism was that it was quite cold in the place. However - would still recommend.

Always had lovely soup and scones. Homemade chips are fab and the coffee is great. I visit her every time I am in Carlisle.

Lovely food which would have been better if it was hotter when served and the room temperature was higher 🙁

Lovely clean little cafe/restaurant. Homemade soup was lovely. Staff nice and friendly. Reasonable prices. Enough room for all of us to feel relaxed. It has a nice gift shop card shop attached, so you can a wonder around their shop as well. Nice to pop...

Stopped here for tea and cake! Worth a visit and especially the carrot cake. Staff were really friendly.

Just wanted to say 'Thank you' for the really lovely welcome and attention to detail. Very helpful staff who were polite and patient. The food was really nice too but the staff serving us were out of this world. Thank you for making our day.

In a rather oddly shaped restaurant and amongst slightly flustered service, there was a pretty decent lunch to be found. We had pie, chips and peas. The pie appeared to be home-made, although not recently - it had been zapped before reaching the table -...

First visit to eat and I was surprised by the extensive menu available. I had grilled halloumi and red pepper wrap which was delicious served with sweet potato fries. Staff were very friendly and will definitely return.

Went into celebrations for breakfast as it looked promising ...drinks arrived and it was all fine .... breakfast arrived and at face value was fine.....but unfortunately underneath it was greasy, sausage was hard and overcooked (think it had been cooked a kept somewhere to keep...

I have had quite a few meals here without any complaints. Today i ordered a flamenco beef burger which i also had a few weeks ago. Today the burger was burnt. Spoke to the manager and she was not helpful at all stating its chargrilled...

Make the best scones ever date and walnut are my favourite friendly staff easy access and a lovely well stocked gift shop next to the cafe

Called for lunch yesterday and we weren't dissapointed, the food was fantastic along with the service that we received. I was so looking forward to having a cake after my main meal but I was too full, I will try again in the future.

Back again for lunch yesterday and we weren't dissapointed, the food was fantastic along with the service that we received. I was so looking forward to having a cake after my main meal with a coffee, but I was too full, I will try again...

Service very friendly and welcoming. The breakfasts were magnificent and remarkably good value. Everything nicely presented. Generous quantities.

Called for a late lunch on the day that the Christmas lights were being switched on in the city centre, but due to a refurbishment they were only serving cakes etc, however we went for two coffee's and two piece's of Lemon Cake and believe...

My favourite coffee, lunch and tea stop, reasonable prices, great menu. Wheelchair access and loo, gluten-free options, and friendly staff, especially kind is. Andrea. And an adjoining gifts and cards shop: balloons and everything you need for a celebration. Perfect.

High quality, tasty food and the staff are so friendly. Loved everything, would definietly recommend going.

Central coffee shop with a great menu choice or just a coffee, l ususally have their hot chocolate, gorgeous home made certain items, childrens high chairs available, staff lovely and friendly and helpful. Next door to a gorgeous card shop with gifts, paper, cards, too easy to visit shop and spend. (part of same shop) Ideal in the middle of summer if you want to visit whats happening in the centre of town.

I have been a regular customer here for 3 years buying 2 Coffees a day. Which amounts to £1500 a year. Today i bought a coffee in the morning, like always it was perfect. Later that day i got another coffee and it tasted like chemicals, I returned this coffee only to be given another that also tasted like chemicals, As i was at work alone I couldn't get back in for Two hours until my husband popped in to exchange the full cup of coffee for me only to be told that as i had left it too long and they would not give me another coffee. Disgusting!

great home cooked food in a lovely cafe. the cafe is much bigger than i thought and has lots of space to bring in push chairs. Service was friendly too and value was good.

Yesterday I experienced the worst customer service off a cafe worker in here. Heavily pregnant and clearly bursting for toilet I was refused the use of it as the woman said she would have sanitise it again?! I then asked if there was a staff toilet I could use instead to which she gave a snotty reply “oh just use it, just use it”. Absolutely disgusted with the fact some one would refuse a heavily pregnant woman the toilet! I was also at work supporting a disabled man the reason we had gone in for toilet is because we were parked right outside on disabled parking and it was closest one. I then had to rush out and make sure the individual I was supporting was in car safe so I could run to another shop up the road, luckily I made it but this woman should be ashamed of herself putting a pregnant woman under stress like that!

This is a really friendly cafe with lovely home cooked food. I would highly recommend it we go every Saturday for our lunch and it’s always been very good. The staff are lovely and very helpful.

We stopped by here for tea and a scone. It is centrally located and we managed to get a window seat. They cater for gluten free and the cakes are home made and reasonable prices. The menu is also very good and fairly priced. The tea was very good and the scone came with butter and jam for no extra and the scone was large and perfect. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and attentive.

Had lunch here today. Toasted sandwich, home made chips, home made coleslaw and Salad with a cappuccino. It was delicious. Service was excellent, could not fault it.

I went in here as I liked a few things in the shop window, and noticed there was a cafe attached. I had a hot drink and some food. This is a nice cafe, with nice team, but the food and drinks need a bit of work.

This café is situated within a shopping area which is lovely to browse and shop. Lovely ambience and a good choice of menu. Staff very helpful and friendly.

Very bad, first time i went he good was dreadful... the second time i went there was a caterpillar in my salad! do not go!

En una reciente visita a la cafetería con mi amigo me di cuenta de publicidad carteles alrededor del café o té helado melocotón piña parecían muy refrescante, con piezas de fruta demasiado! ! ! Cuando pedí la camarera me dijo "Ah, sí, son realmente buenos". Por desgracia, cuando llegó mi té de piña helado fue té con cubos de hielo y un sabor débil de piña! Cuando pagué la cuenta y mencioné a la camarera me dijo, "no vender que muchos no tienen la fruta". Seguramente si algo tiene que tener la forma de publicidad la promoción!

Been here a couple of times now, food ok nothing special. Always seems busy but I am yet to be impressed. It's not somewhere I'd recommend there are much nicer places to eat in Carlisle.

This little cafe took a bit of finding ..but it was the only place open early in the morning. Its nice to see the independent coffee shops which are not part of a chain. There was good service and coffee tasted good too.

When we visit Carlisle we always look to eat in this establishment as the food is excellent along with the service. If we are too early for lunch we have their home made scones and they are always fabulous. Keep up the good work.

Popped in to Cafe Barry Royale for coffee with my Mum to day on way back from Hexham staff seemed very rushed at doing things service could be improved, we ordered two milky coffees and ham Sandridge, coffee we asked for Milky coffee and we got americano and the sandwich asked with no dressing and we got the salad dressing before I had time to say to the watrise things are not Wright she disappeared of. When went to pay said things had not been right got apologies about the salad dressing but not the wrong coffee.

Me decidí a entrar este café ya me apetecía cambiar un poco de mi habitual y tengo que decir que no me decepcionó! Pedí la carne caliente con papas fritas en espiral y baguette era absolutamente precioso. El servicio era estupendo, las chicas que me sirvió tan amable y educado. Realmente no puedo esperar a volver y probar algunos más del menú :)

La primera vez que fui a celebraciones fue con un amigo para almorzar, tuve el pollo cajún, nunca me volveré baguette olvidó! La comida era increíble y así estamos el personal. Muy acogedor y amable. Voy a este café regularmente ahora, los estándares no tienen comparación! La perfección.

Me and my partner went in for lunch We both had the pulled pork was amazing, best lunch I've had in ages. Reasonably priced, great service. We will be back again :)

Visité este delicioso café hoy con mi madre y su pareja. Tuve la hamburguesa de pollo canadiense que era absolutamente delicioso. Llegó con patatas fritas de camote. (he leído una crítica anterior que decía que la pelea estaba pasada - sólo está pasada por el de Brie y mayonesa - y me encantó). Mi madre había pollo y patatas fritas - goujons rizado de nuevo delicioso y compañero de mi madre tenía la tarta de carne y patatas fritas de Cumbria normal - que él declaró estaban deliciosos! Mi madre y su pareja son ambos en sus ochenta y preguntó después si hubieran podido tener porciones más pequeñas (la respuesta era sí). Las dos camareras jóvenes eran absolutamente encantadora también, nada era demasiado problema. Era la primera vez que mi madre y su compañero habían visitado y les encantó! Muy variado y extenso menú y nada era demasiado problema. Bien hecho y gracias por un delicioso almuerzo!

I had to take the time to write a review on this lovely little cafe bar as I am always made to feel welcome and its lovely to have a chat with the staff.They are always very efficient and make my visit very enjoyable.I am quite fussy when it comes to coffee but I always enjoy my latte when I go there and the food is always amazing! I would highly recommend this little cafe/card and gift shop.A credit to carlisle.

Soy nuevo volver a Carlisle y mucho ha cambiado en mi ausencia.

El sol brilla y donde es mejor hacer un servicio cálido y acogedor, pero esos chicas encantadoras en el café bar, una acogedora Royale agradable café. Esperamos a sólo 10 minutos o así para la comida, no me puedo quejar de mi queso brie y Panini cranberry y como para el lado de patatas fritas de camote, si sólo hubieran hecho ellos para llevar! Mi amigo tenía el Canadian Burger (cocinado a la perfección) con patatas fritas caseras y aros de cebolla enormas', no hace falta decir que ya estamos pensando en la próxima visita. No puedo evitar comentar sobre la atención de las camareras que eran preciosos y abierto a mi bromas :) La

Fui allí por primera vez, excelente café dentro de las celebraciones poco tienda de tarjeta.

After going in to celebrations for many years I was shocked to see the lack of hygiene being used,we were sitting on the sofa by the fire and one of the waitresses took a cloth off the top of the counter,she proceeded to go into the men's and disabled toilet and wash something came out didn't wash her hands and put the cloth back on the top,then all the other waitresses proceeded to wash the tables with something in a squirts bottle ,the cloth was never washed or changed, we won't be back ,I must spend about 30£ a week in there

Llamamos hoy para el almuerzo. El menú tenía buena pinta y nos sirvieron bebidas y tomaron el pedido. Esperamos 30 minutos para comer con otras personas que llegaron después que nosotros sirviendo. Le pregunté a la camarera y la comida llegó. La comida no era muy buena. Las patatas fritas de camote era muy caliente. La base del bollo de pan estaba pasada. Nadie vino a preguntar cómo estaba. Comimos la primera parte de la pelea con el pollo y el tocino. Nos dijeron que el gerente cuando fuimos a pagar y ella dijo que lo derriba las bebidas. Por lo tanto pedimos £17.90para dos pollo hamburguesas. Ella dijo que comimos la hamburguesa; le dije que sí, pero el resto estaba frío. Entonces ella lo bajaron de nuevo y pagué 10 libras. El servicio es malo y realmente no buena comida. No volveremos.

Fui paseando por mi desayuno, determinada a buscar por la carretera de lado: y me alegro de haberlo hecho.

Fui con un amigo para el desayuno. demasiado frío para tener la puerta entornada justo al lado de donde la gente es intención de comer, ya que es muy cómoda para sentarse a comer con su abrigo. Ya que estábamos esperando a nuestra comida (que tomó un tiempo), tuvimos que soportar el grito de jefe de la cima de nosotros a otro jefe.

Fuimos en el sábado con mi marido para el almuerzo. Yo pedí un bacon, queso brie y Koskenkorva pannini. Cuando yo estaba a medio camino a través de la primera mitad, pensé que no he probado cualquier tocino y cuando miré en no había tocino, entonces lo busqué en la otra mitad y no había tocino en que tampoco, que luego se llama una camarera y dije a ella, y dijo que era la segunda ese día. Entonces ella hablaba al director de la cafetería y vino y dijo que sacaría fuera de la ley, y no quiero otra o simplemente quieres comer. Le dije que volvería a comer que ya que mi esposo había concluido su almuerzo y luego ya habíamos esperado bastante tiempo para nuestro almuerzo. Cuando fui a pagar el director me dijo que se lo golpeó en el pequeño café, cosa que no era feliz y me dijo que iba a llamar a la pannni que ella entonces nos dijo que no había acordado que la camarera y que no tenía derecho a decir que para mí, todo estaba dispuesta a golpear en el café. Le dije que si lo hubiera sabido que tienen o en otra o no ha comido que ya no tenía sabor sin tocino. No estaba contento con esta situación y tampoco lo fue mi marido cuando salí y me dijeron que él - no muy buen servicio al cliente de un gerente

Solía regularmente visita esta cafetería pero no han sido durante varios meses. ¡Qué decepcionante el almuerzo. Pedí baguettes de salchicha de Cumberland con Apple rojo frito y cebolla. Esto debería denominarse Apple y baguettes de cebolla roja porque me costó encontrar la salchicha de Cumberland, que era muy finas rebanadas y el tamaño de un centavo. Me di cuenta de que la mesa junto a nuestra izquierda la ensalada de col - mina de hecho estaba bien pero col de mi marido estaba servido probaban acabarían en una pequeña cafetera
