The Greyhound Inn in Carlisle

Food was delicious - thoroughly enjoyable meal - would highly recommend. Staff lovely - everything great - enjoyed by all

We visited last weekend and the food was amazing as always, never eaten steak as good anywhere ever. Tony who owns the pub also has an amazing butchers in cockermouth. When we visited there we asked him if he had any tables for Saturday night, however they were fully booked that night, however he managed to arrange an early table for us as a massive favour. The food is freshly cooked, not mass produced food like many places, and the staff are all very attentive and welcoming. The pub is only open a few days a week so if you can you need to book well in advance and you will not be disappointed at all. They are very reasonably priced and the quality is off the scale and no other establishment in the area will come close, so thank you very much for amazing food and fabulous service, look forward to coming back soon

Had an absolutely amazing meal here on the last night of our holiday. If we had found it earlier in the week we would have been in more than once. The staff were very pleasant and attentive without being in your face. The food was first class. It was plentyfull and served piping hot. The chips were to die for. This little gem is off the beaten track but well worth the journey, reasonably priced. Highly recommended.

Excellent early meal on NYE. We were up from near Ox and had booked in advance. Service, ambience and food quality spot on. The steak was a cracker. Would thoroughly recommend.

We booked to have a meal here for our anniversary after reading the reviews and we had high hopes for a fantastic evening. The problems started straight away, we were seated near to a large screen TV that was blaring out Channel 4 programs! Maybe people in Cumbria do things differently, but I'm guessing most people prefer music to create an ambiance. Living here we have never seen a TV showing TV programs during a lunch or evening service. No sooner had our bottoms touched the seats than we where asked what we wanted to drink, no time to sit and relax and peruse the beers at the bar, it was make your order and make it now attitude. The menus and the specials board came next, it all seemed a season to early, this is August in the grips of a heatwave and one of the specials was Game Pie! This was followed by 2 very small slices of bread and a large amount of butter. No side plates were forthcoming and no butter knives either. The bread and butter was nothing special. The starters were good. The trio of fish was lovely, Hot Salmon, Tout and a small Prawn Cocktail were superb. The deep fried prawns, done 3 ways were also rated wonderful. After no real break the mains arrived. The lamb fillet was served with mashed potato, black pudding, onion rings and a jug of "redcurrent jus" It was confused already before the bowl of chips and winter vegetables arrived with new potatoes! I really would like to say that the main was lovely, but it wasn't. The Lamb fillet was very overcooked, the black pudding should never have been there as it did nothing to enhance the dish, but overwhelmed the lamb. Not sure why there where onion rings on the plate, but these were cold and left uneaten. The jus was just redcurrent jelly warmed up and was so sickly sweet it made the dish virtually inedible. The shared veg was carrots and red cabbage, not something you want on a hot August evening and the chips were OK but didn't really go with the dish. I would have pointed put the overcooked lamb to the young ladies serving, but they never came near, preferring to chat with the locals. When we did tell them it was an eye roll and we will tell the chef. The half roasted duck was nice,but again came with onion rings, mashed potato and a very sickly morello cherry sauce. The winter veg and the chips did nothing to enhance it. Altogether the meal wasn't worth the money paid and we felt rushed through from entering to leaving. There are much better eateries in the area that care about their guests, be they visitors or locals, and care about the food they serve. This is one establishment we won't be returning to.

Perfect little gem in lovely rural location. Staff welcoming and attentive. Food absolutely delicious, steak cooked to perfection. Definitely will be returning.

Best food and service you will experience anywhere in the area, the road there is terrible but worth it for the food, consistently spot on

Myself and my husband both had a starter,main meal and dessert last Saturday and I can honestly say hand on heart it’s one of the best meals we have had and we have had some nice meal in some nice places,I can also say the the atmosphere was great the staff were fantastic and when my son comes home from the navy we will definitely be taking him there to fill his stomach, the quality of food was outstanding I just can’t believe how fantastic such a lovely little find,we will be back xx

In a quiet, out of the way, out of the way place is an absolute little gem of a place to get great food, and at a reasonable price. The staff were really friendly and engaging, the food was stunning and cooked beautifully……will definitely be going back on our next visit

Brilliant place, me and my wife phoned in advance 10 mins before arriving and they had a table ready for us even tho it was very busy.The food was lovely and very local and the portion sizes massive I can not recommend the place more thank you for a great meal.

Ye Olde Greyhound Inn in Bromfield, Wigton is a hidden gem! Delicious, high quality food in a very friendly atmosphere. Everything was superb from starters to desserts. Definitely worth the drive to find it.

Only open weekends ! We went with friends and our 9 year old lovely food great service .would recommend

Just back from having a fabulous meal at Ye Olde Greyhound Inn in Bromfield, Wigton. What a find that was. Everything was superb with great choice of starters, mains and puddings. The staff were very friendly and efficient and looked after us very well. The only disappointment is it was our only opportunity to go during this visit to Cumbria. At such reasonable prices we'll definitely book again next time we're in the area. Future customers need to be aware that they only open on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Absolutely loved it, Eric & Larraine.

Honestly the BEST fillet steak I’ve EVER had. Really tremendous food, all five of us loved it although only two of the five of us also managed desert!! Highly recommend.

There's nothing in a 20mile radius better than here! Small, only open weekend evenings but the food is to die for! Nothing is to much for the staff who are extremely welcoming, friendly and eager to please. Changes to your order, when reasonable; are absolutely no problem. Booking in advance is a good idea as the locals know how good this place is and you'd be lucky to get a table as a "walk in".

After visiting this restaurant last year whilst visiting the area we decided to book again. We were not disappointed! A lovely welcome and a lovely warm fire. The food was excellent. My friend had the brie starter which she said was excellent and I had...

We were well received and didn't have to book. The food was excellent and delivered timely. Steak pie, Cumberland sausage and gammon plus rack of lamb. All very good and the portions size was just right but you need to be hungry. Will go again...

Just been out with friends for a meal and had a lovely meal. Food very tasty, and portion sizes very generous. Service was good. Only positive things to say, would definately visit again if I was in the area.

Went for an early dinner with my wife and one of our grandchildren. Absolutely excellent food and service. The steak pie is superb! Be aware that they are only open Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Best to book in advance too.

Came for a meal with friends which Tony had opened up especially for. What can I say the meal was amazing and the staff where very helpful can’t believe that being local we didn’t no about this little gem will definitely be back

As one of a contingent of 17 we were well looked after and every one of us enjoyed our meal. Would definitely recommend.

We've had amazing food and wonderful service.Would definitely recommend to family and friends. Will return soon.

We really enjoyed this place. The food was delicious, good steaks, specials board, fish dishes. All very simple, service was delightful. Modern decor and spotlessly clean pub. Still retains its old world charm though. No dedicated parking, so that can be a problem, but don't...

An extraordinary small Village pub,which surprised many of our friends from other parts of the country on many occasions. We've been coming here for years,and couldn't recommend a place more.

Starters great and steaks lovely and cooked to perfection ... homemade chips and veg.. service from Bethan was excellent and with nice humour and helpful directions to our base in Bothel

A gem of a place. Staff are very attentive and always willing to please. Food is well presented, very fresh and very tasty. A regular menu with the addition of local "specials" depending on what is in season. All food is prepared by the family...

The owner of this pub is Tony Harrison who runs Harrison's butchers in Cockermouth, which gives some indication to the quality of the meat! The meal was really beautiful, great quality produce cooked brilliantly- the belly pork was outstanding. Lovely service and very accommodating to...

Amazing meal at the greyhound tonight. Friendly staff. Very reasonably priced and the portions are amazing!

2nd time we have been to Greyhound, food is excellent (although it doesn't matter what you order you get onion rings with it - but they are homemade!). Staff very attentive and friendly, great place for a nice meal.

The food is beautiful and is presented beautifully. our family love it at the Ye Olde Greyhound Inn.

We have been coming here to eat for several years now and it is the best (I'm reluctant to use this word) gastro-pub in the area by a considerable margin. The food is superb; fresh, locally sourced and creatively presented. The service is attentive and...
