The Coach And Horses in Carlisle

I just wanted to say thank you for accommodating us all on Saturday evening. Coming in a very large group with a lot of children having nothing booked they made us have a lovely experience and the food was beautiful! Lovely staff lovely place. I wish I lived here as I would love to come all the time! If I’m ever in the area again I would definitely call back for some very good food

First visit to Carlisle and found this cracking little pub, good food and beer topped off by very attentive and friendly staff, will definitely return when back in the area.

The bartender is very friendly, Very Clean and Tidy, the Guinness is some of the best I've had in Carlisle, recommend!

I have never been looked after so well! Had a big group booking for Sunday lunch and every single member of staff was an absolute delight (and we were a pain!). Food was great too (including the desserts)! Great price, great place, amazing service, highly highly highly recommended.

Another great meal at Coach and Horses Kingstown while charging the car at Carlisle Ionity, which is about 5 minutes walk away. Food at C& H was top quality and portions are fab. Come prepared lol! Service is always friendly and welcoming. Excellent value for money and a great range of drinks, including driver friendly options. Reservations for dining are recommended as it's very popular.

The Sunday roast beef dinner was absolutely outstanding! The beef melted in your mouth, the vegetables cooked to perfection and the Yorkshire pudding the size of a hand! The chef's special chocolate brownie was to die for! It is one of those deserts where you take your first bite and it is pure pleasure The staff are so friendly and welcoming, can't wait to go again! Well done guys!

We ate here on sunday ,bit apprehensive after reading old reviews, and having gone to several places in country pubs around and had rubbish food overpriced .it was a beautiful meal the vegetable selection was great and the meats(all three of us chose a different meat) was so tender and nice gravy.everyone had a good meal and clean nice atmosphere.staff really nice.we had intended eating in the evening there prior to an event we were attending at the venue .unfortunatley service finishes for food at 5 pm .both visits on sunday were enjoyable .can bring friends for food with confidence .thankyou all staff seen and unseen.

Lovely atmosphere, service and food. Can't say enough good things! Needs 6 stars. Amazing vegan burger!

Stopped off here on a long drive from Glasgow back home to Lancashire after googling ‘dog friendly pubs off the M6’. The Coach and Horses was extremely dog friendly! The lovely landlady greeted us warmly and said we could take our dog in either room. We had some delicious pea and ham soup with an enormous portion of nachos! A lovely pub and definitely to be recommended.

We were passing and stopped for a great lunch. Great friendly welcome and the food surpassed your usual pub grub! The chef seemed to take great pride in his cooking. Thank you! We’ll be back!

Home made food, very good. If you like chocolate do order the brownie.

Fabulous food, we really enjoyed the Belly of pork and cod loin 👍👍

Really great food, plenty of parking with disabled access, and lovely friendly staff .

Very nice pie and chips in clean surroundings will definitely go again

This is a great place for some real food, good food, service, and beer, we booked at short notice and were accommodated. This was one of the best pub meals I have had in a long time. It was really great meals all cooked fresh, and I had to wait a bit longer, but it was well worth the wait, and I highly recommend you check it out if you're in the area .

Good choice of classic pub dishes. Fresh and tasty and staff were friendly.

Really welcoming to kids and our dog who is new to going into pubs.

Me and my mate called into this pup by chance, we had steak pie and chips each, absolutely great it was full of meat with proper chunks, the lady who served us who also was serving the bar was polite and cheerful, she brought our food with a great smile, highly recommend,

Franky and the team are great happy smily lovely friendly and the music right up our street, food superb we ate here twice during our stay big portions great value we had the coach chicken curry Nan popadoms chutney , pie & mash with veg , and a ham salad absolutely lovely and big portions will definitely visit again when up visiting, well done all

Great food and lovely cold pints, can't say much better than that!

Our table ordered four drinks and four mains, scampi, curry, cumberland sausage and lasagne. The portion sizes were generous and everyone enjoyed their meal. Friendly staff. Good service. Would certainly recommend and return.

Haven't been for a few years but it's friendly and serves good ,honest, pub food. Great 70/80s soundtrack as well 👌

Great place, food is great and service is excellent. Highly recommend.

Stumbled upon the Coach and Horses by chance during an overnight stop at the Premier Inn nearby. Lovely pub and good quality food at a great price. Would definitely return if in the area

Amazing, such tentative staff and well priced floor for the quality.. a must visit you won't be disappointed 10/10 thanks

Great food in a very nice atmosphere. Price of food very reasonable for quality & portions.

Booked last minute for a table of 5. Food was delicious and all came out at the same time piping hot! staff were very friendly and accommodating, highly recommend 😃

Stopped on spec for Sunday lunch. No problem that we hadn't booked. The food was excellent, massive portions and absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit.

Ate here twice now and will only use it for drinking in future. Paid £22 for the steak. Bearing in mind that this was a rump steak, and you have to pay extra for onion rings and a sauce, it’s a bit over-priced. I’ve added 2 photos. One is a photo of the £22 steak that I ordered at the coach, and the other is the same price steak that I ordered at a different establishment. Bearing in mind the second steak was also a serloin (better quality), and also included the onion rings and sauce as part of the price. I’m sure you can see that there is a huge difference in the quality of the 2 dishes and really supports my argument that they either need to lower the prices or improve the food drastically. Second time I tried the burger and my partner tried the carbonara. The burger was soggy. The carbonara was salty and lacked any distinct flavour. Really disappointing as was really looking forward to having a new favourite local again to eat at.

Had the soup of the day which was to salty when it came to the table

Great food & great service service

Me and my partner had driven past a few times since the place had reopened and finally decided to go for some food there this weekend and what a great decision that was , the staff were very polite and conscientious, the food was way better than we expected (expected standard pub grub) the garlic chilli wings were amazing and the portions were generous , we will definitely be back!

family meal out, great service, food was divine. just a little expensive for our budget, but it was a rare treat.

I've been here twice now, and both times, the food and service were excellent. It's a nice, comfy pub with good decor and a cosy ambience. Well recommended for lunch or dinner, or just having a drink and watching the footy.

Everyone said their food was amazing, but sadly, the chips I have with the amazing steak pie were tasteless and needed to be cooked a lot longer!

Really lovely. Decor is great, well worth a visit after work. Pleasantly surprised😊

This is our favourite place to eat we go all the time. The waiter Cameron is a credit to the place he is always cheerful and friendly makes you feel really welcome. Thanks Cameron. Food is excellent.

Quite expensive, for 1x large wine and a pint was £13.20. It's not got a massive bar area, and became a bit cramped as there were a 2 groups who came in after us. Until that point though, nice pint & nice staff. Can't comment on the food as we only went in for drinks into the bar area.

Amazing Sunday lunch, even got cauliflower cheese, yum yum . Definitely recommend and will definitely be back. Eton mess, struggled but had to

I was staying in the Premier inn Carlisle. I was going to eat there but decided to come to the Coach & Horses instead. I'm very pleased I did! Friendly and helpful staff and the food was excellent!

At Carlisle for the weekend , this place was a 5 mins walk from our hotel, amazing food , great staff , nice pint of Guinness, great find and will use again when back in Carlisle.

Been twice in a week. Chicken burgers and beef burgers very good as was the Lasagne. The vegetarian curry was rather too spicy for the person that asked for it but if that's what you like fine. Would not stop us going again.

Went on the off chance....so pleased we did. Friendly staff & food was lovely. Went just after lunchtime so it was quiet. Nice place.

Best roast I have had in a very long time!

Amazing food, friendly staff and the atmosphere is nice. Recently opened and it’s lovely inside and well managed. Would definitely recommended.

Popped in here for a bite to eat, the food was great and large portions too. However the star of this place is the barman/ server Cameron Cam for short who is one of the best I’ve ever seen. He’s got charm and chat is efficient and effective and while listening to him he was upselling too. A very impressive member of staff. Well done Cam. P.s. we are in the hotel industry and he was great.

We have called in here a few times over the years when using it as an overnighter staying both of the local premier inns. The new owners have done a wonderful job reopening and doing the pub up, our food was wonderful Cumberland sausage and veg chilli, great job will be back again next time. Thank you

We walked down from the premier inn 13 minutes walk. Well worth the walk the food is fantastic. I had sausage and mash I wife had vegetarian chill great to see this pub. Open again.

Great food they can look after the drink two perfect pint. Had amazing food never been since the new owners took it over what a difference 💎

Fantastic food and lovely staff. The ingredients were fresh and cooked to perfection. Good menu variety too. Think this will become a radiant regularly spot for us.

Dog friendly! Excellent service very welcoming. Great food but large portions. Very clean and smart with a good atmosphere. Outside seating front and back of pub.

Very disappointed, Some backstory last time i was there having a hoot ordering drinks, at one time i paid with a 20 and they didn't have enough float so being ok with it and trying to help i said that's ok, just leave me one in the wood, we agreed and it's no big deal one pint right. Fast forward to today i go in, probably gonna have a few drinks as i would i cash in my one pint in the wood and I I'm awkwardly rejected! I was embarrassed and did not want to make a fuss at the time but i thought about it, i paid for that. Anyway very sad the trust is gone sorry

Great for a quick pint after work

Had a lovely meal, just phoned on the off chance they were serving meals, and so thankful we did. Very warm welcome and my salmon was beautiful and my husband enjoyed his burger and rice pudding. Will definitely be back soon.

Lovely place and staff. Beef roast for Sunday lunch was beautiful. Great experience and moderate prices

Recently re-opened under new management, food is good and well priced. Lacking in the beer department though which is a shame.

It was amazing the food was excellent. I had a braised pork which was tender and melt in your mouth. My son had sausages and mash which were juicy and smooth. definitely recommend

Food was well presented and quick service, although it was quiet

Very nice, first visit and we will go back 👍 😀

We popped in for a late lunch. We both had the delicious steak pie and chips. The onion rings are something quite special. Everything was home cooked, superb. Great, friendly service and a lovely place to spend some time.

Lovely pub been done up recently. Stopped on our way up to Scotland was very friendly pub and they were welcoming to our dog.

Went for family meal Christmas eve very nice

Visited as a table of 4 and not one of us had anything bad to say. The whole place was spotless, lovely decor, friendly staff and absolutely beautiful food. Salmon, curry and lasagna all hit the spot and left 4 clear plates.

Arrived Weds evening for a meal, our group consisted of 3 adults and 2 dogs. Greeted warmly by staff, good atmosphere in the pub. Food was great with waiting staff attentive & friendly. If passing by again we will return.

Sorry but we ordered as a group asked if we could all be deserved together. But 3 of us ate there meals for the rest arrived, cool plates so couldn't wait for the rest of meal, ask for not carrots arrived with carrot mash. Only ate 1/7th.of meal. Not sure if understaffed or chef over stretched. But arrived its it, order of instead of desert, NO coffee, table was squeezed in ever thought we booked when 1st opened. Sorry will not return

Had a very good meal and the service was excellent. Will be arranging our Company Xmas meal for next week.

I was the only one in the bar and I asked for a pint of Guinness and was charged £5.50 far too much

What a brilliant, warm and welcoming place to visit. Lovely food and friendly staff. Wether you go for food or just for drinks you will be welcomed with open arms and a smile

Poor service and standard food unfortunately we wouldn’t ever return to the coach and horses ……………..

Food was lovely, people working there were wonderful, will look forward to next visit!

Absolutely shocking, the pub has undergone a £300k refit and opened two weeks ago, the two back doors are awash with dried leaves and one door is the designated smoking area!!! Fire hazard or what. It’s been like that since the placed reopened obviously the pubs management have no conception of customer appreciation. Small dogs are apparently most acceptable on the bar top - how hygienic is that.

I called here after a long driving day and had a wholesome plate of pub food which hit the spot. A very handy place just off M6 junction 44, there's not much else around the very top end of Carlisle. Check with them before you land as they don't cook every day.

The state of the high chair we had to put our daughter in was DISGUSTING! Hadn’t even been given a cursory wipe. Dried sauce all over the tray, the seat and straps were absolutely filthy and, worst of all, the sides were filled with mouldy old food. Absolutely no excuse as the place was dead. We had to clean it ourselves as best we could. Ordinarily, we would have left but the food had already been brought out and our daughter was hungry. Food was poor too. The cheese slice on my husband’s burger had gone hard, it was so old. He went to get some ketchup but, when he opened it, there was white furry mould growing inside the lid! It’s a shame because the food here used to be lovely!

Diabolical food.. shambles of a pub

Food was disgusting.. frozen vegetables, ready mash and chip pan roast potatoes and parsnips.. no apple sauce for the roast pork either.. The building needs a total refurbishment as its filthy.. staff were very hospitable though, the only good part of our visit

Good food and plenty of it, at a good price. Staff were very friendly and helpful, well worth stopping-off if you need something to eat and / or drink.

Wow, just wow!!! The owner Graeme is a legend so he is and what a brilliant, nice, friendly pub it is!! We were just visiting for the day from Glasgow and he went out of his way to drive us back to the city center........WHAT A LEGEND!!!

Quite good, pleasant staff, food was nice but menu a bit limited.

Excellent food. Hospitality excellent

Been today 20/02/22. Food absolutely lush.So much better than last time my partner & I went last year. Well done team.definitely be back!

Lovely, dog friendly pub, excellent service. The only thing to let it down was the food 😔 all home cooked but was very well done, might have been better earlier in the day though.

The food is excellent, the staff are pleasant the pub has a very relaxing atmosphere, we went during lunchtime on a weekdays which not to busy

Stopped there for food, did not do any on Monday or Tuesday

Dated in need of a refurbishment

Portion size was ok but the rice was hard clearly microwaved and the lasagna had no taste whatsoever, disappointed and won’t be back

Good food good staff good experience 👍

Had the 3 course Christmas Dinner was beautiful there was 10 of us and all food came out hot and was massive portions not one of us had any complaints 5 stars. Staff were very friendly

We (5) arranged to spend the evening having a few drinks, mine host cleared a table for us in the front room and we had a very pleasant time together.

Booked here a couple of times at the last minute as it was close to a Very Well Known Hotel Brand. (10 minutes walk). Very friendly and accommodating staff, good service and very good, reasonably priced food.

My wife and I stopped in for a meal there on the 5th of November and we were surprised with hospitality and the quality of the food, really lovely meal and a nice pint of beer !...we will certainly call there again on our way through ..

Great pub, super service with excellent value good food, much better and preferred to McD or Sub just up the road.

Rang up to ask if we could stay in the car park after a meal and a few drinks with our campers. The staff , food and cosy atmosphere was fantastic, nice place

Great little pub with nice restaurant area .friendly locals and great staff.one of the best Sunday lunches I've had.

What a lovely find in Carlisle, a real pub with a superb Sunday lunch & bar staff went out of their way to help you. Def be calling back at this place when we return.

We had a lovely meal there,lovely staff and especially dog friendly

Just had a sunday dinner from here and was disappointed with the portion of the meal , the beef was ripped into little pieces to try and make it look like more but it didn't even make up to one slice , when i questioned a member of staff about it they couldnt tell me if that was the correct portion although they did apologise, i still had to pay the full price for the meals.

Really good food and friendly staff. Will definitely come again. Best burger ever had

Excellent meals at very affordable prices. Great service by friendly staff. Grahame is a superb host. We've been here many times and always thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I can recommend the Coach and Horses.

Food was good with friendly staff

After calling around a few places on a Saturday evening at late notice, this pub graciously made room for the four of us.The food is great value and delicious (especially the desserts!), and everyone was very friendly - including the other patrons :)The owner, I think, also came around to check on everyone. Just a really great atmosphere that really made our evening.
