My son and I visited on our trip up to Scotland on Monday 25th March and also on our way home on Good Friday. We had roast beef on first visit and roast turkey on on second. Food was amazing and large portion sizes. Meat carved thickly and 3 different veg, plus both roast and mash potatoes. Would defo recommend for a roast lunch.

Great Sunday Dinner. We took the grandkid. I had Roast Beef my partner had Lamb and the Grandkids had Chicken. The beef was superb it melted in your mouth and the veg was cooked to perfection too. The Grandkids ate everything that was on their plates, the only downside was it could have done with more Gravy, alyhough they did bring more out eventually. Would defo recommend for a good Sunday Dinner.

The food was fresh and plenty of it. It was a busy Saturday night and they managed to squeeze 7 of us in for 1.5hrs. I personally had scampi chips and salad and it was delicious and loads of scampi. My husband had chicken tikka and he enjoyed his also and he also managed to squeeze a chocolate cheesecake in and he said it was lovely. Great friendly service and would definitely return when back in the area. Highly recommended 😊

Visited on a Thursday afternoon for lunch with family I had booked in advance. It's proper old school the way I like it no guessing how to order how or when to pay it's all clear. On arrival asked if we wanted drinks which we ordered asked if we wanted to pad you go 9r run a tab I opted to pay. We were shown to our table lass explained as printed on the menu order food at the counter we all made our selections I went to the counter and ordered and paid ,food all arrived together after around 15 minutes or so . All good fresh everyday grub all homemade not out a bidfood lorry. We all loved the food and left clean plates. Bill with drinks and tip just under £100.00 for five ,can't argue with that.

Very nice meal, drinks where lovely, service was spot on and I was a great atmosphere. The only problem was the smack head outside, clearly high on cociane and claimed he could "take me in a fight " I believe this rather odd individual lives there and should be removed from the premises immediately.

Had a beautiful meal here, all freshly cooked. Had to wait approx 45 minutes for our meals, but didn't mind as it was so worth the wait, plus they did warn us at the point of ordering. One small mistake made, which was serving a beef dinner instead of lamb. However, this didn't bother us as it was lovely anyway, so got eaten. Staff were lovely, prices ok. Would highly recommend & definitely visit again. Thank you for a good quality, beautiful meal!

I think anyone who is visiting Harrison and Hetherington's auction mart and the car showrooms on the Rosehill Industrial Estate should visit The Auctioneer and have a roast dinner. I ordered a roast beef dinner and while the Yorkshire Pudding wasn't anything great, the silverside of beef was beautiful and the portions very generous, and the beef gravy tasted delicious. Also the portion of peas, carrots and cabbage was nice and the roast potatoes were cooked well. Service was good and the woman on the till was friendly and helpful. For my £14, I could say I was a satisfied customer and will return.

Visited numerous times and the food is alway lovely and the same when we have had takeaway, however I have rang four times recently to order a take away to be told they weren’t doing them. On the third occasion was told they needed to check with the chef who said they weren’t doing them then on the fourth occasion I asked if they had stop and was today it just depended on what sort of day they gave had as to whether they could do takeaway. I would suggest they need to stop advertising on there website that they do takeaway if that is the case.

Very unorganized place . Told to go to part of bar to order food ! I asked for a roast dinner told someone would come to our table to ask what we wanted then turned up with roast beef which we never asked for ! They were pretty awkward ! Food was average when it arrived I was told we would get Yorkshire puddings with pork but didn’t ! So someone did bring us them and were pretty disappointing . Would not eat here again .

We have used the Auctioneer occasionally for many years, generally a pleasant experience with traditional food and good service. When visiting recently it didn't quite measure up. The restaurant wasn't very busy as it was quite early and there were plenty of staff visible. The silverside beef with Yorkshire pudding and veg were good although the potatoes could of been a bit better but it was the Barron of beef in brandy and peppercorn sauce was very disappointing. The beef was dry, tasteless grey and probably cooked the week before. The deserts were the usual good standard. When asked by the staff while paying, we did mention this to them and she apologised and gave us a desert token for a return visit.

We hosted a “leaving do” as we are moving to the USA. I love that we were able to reserve a room for a small party of 30. The Auctioneer was also able to accommodate dietary restrictions (gluten free, dairy free and vegetarian). 10/10 would recommend this as a venue for parties and gatherings locally. The Auctioneer offered us the atmosphere and venue we needed, which other local pubs could not, without costing a fortune. The service was exceptional as well.

The Auctioneer never disappoints but their Friday carvery is simply outstanding. My wife and I made an unplanned visit on our way home and only then learned of the carvery. We were served by Ian who expertly carved the roast beef, pork, gammon and turkey. The meats were cooked to perfection as was the best stuffing ball I've ever tasted. Ellie then added delicious vegetables and gravy. The selection of desserts were an impressive sight, served in enormous portions and tasted as good as they looked. This was quite simply the best meal one could wish for. John, the manager, sets the highest of standards and has a team to be proud of. The level of service and courtesy could not be bettered and deserve the highest praise.

What can I say.....the food speaks for itself. Locally produced, fresh food, the auctioneer never fails to deliver. We were there on a busy Saturday night and there was alot of big tables booked in. And yes we probably waited a bit longer than usual but surely this is to be expected in such a popular venue. The manager was on hand to make sure that things were running as well as possible which was quite refreshing to see. We were a table of 12 that came away happy with the food and the service we received . We'll definitely be returning as always 😊

Completely fantastic food. I had the beef Sunday lunch, the rest of the group had lamb. The dinner was full of fresh veg, the served up extra gravy which was lovely. Only comment is that it was our first time here, so we could have done with some direction, being given a menu rather than having to grab one off another table. 😉

Visited The Auctioneer a few times over the past few years and pleased to say we will be returning more frequently. The atmosphere is quite old fashioned although comfortable and cozy, a nice environment for a chilled out family meal without as much stress as some ‘more intense’ restaurants. The service from all the waiting staff was good, and the food came very quickly. All members of our party chose the beef dinner, of which all agreed it was one of the best dinners we’ve had in a long time. Meat was cooked perfectly, so was all the other trimmings and portion sizes were very generous. The English Lakes ice cream was to die for, full of flavour and not badly priced for the portion size either. Very easily accessible with plenty of parking outside. Much prefer to Toby Carvery and will be visiting more frequently now. Quite a hidden gem within Carlisle!
