The Queen Inn in Carlisle

Closing down soon. Unfortunately another country pub will close down on 30th June 2024. Staff were good and doing their best in the circumstances.

Food very good and plenty of it, well cooked.. Service a bit slow but staff very willing and helpful. Lovely atmosphere with live singing by locals.

Very good food and service nice jolly atmosphere and village discount loved it so much I tried to get a job there

Had a really friendly smiley waiter called sam, great service and a nice time

Great little pub. Outdoor seating overlooking a small green. Beer from local brewery (just across the road).

Lovely pub, friendly, kind and helpful staff. The comfy area was great to get a bit of work done while having a coffee. The lunch was really good, I'm still full! I'll be back!

Lovely food. Friendly staff. Service a little slow but in no way detracted from the meal.

Lovely little pub we booked for husbands birthday. Menu read good however some options weren't available as the menu was changing. Staff were pleasant and attentive. Food quality was good. Bit of a different swing on a sundae from the dessert menu but we went with it.

Last visited February 2024. I was driving from Manchester to Edinburgh, so I thought I'd stop for a quick lunch. Service was quick and so was the food. Would have loved to try a pint but had a drive ahead of me. Nice meal. Place was a little off track but guess that was what I was looking for.

Nice cosy pub with friendly staff food was mediocre

Very disappointing Sunday Lunch. Poor selection of veg with what seemed like a day old reheated Yorkshire pudding. Worst of all it was served cold! Little wonder the place was quiet. Certainly very poor value at £22 for main course

Real wood fire, beautiful seasonal food and a gorgeous setting. The gnocchi was delicious!

For our anniversary we wanted to go somewhere a bit special so we chose the Queens. We had a lovely meal and the service was very good. Will definitely recommend and thank you so much

Good country pub spacious Service was good only 1 real ale out of 3 pumps the afternoon I was in.

2 corby ales on ,smashing country pub ,well worth a visit if you are in the area

What a superb find. Great pub, with super friendly staff and really good food.

Very nice lunch today, I had roast beef & hubby had pie of the day

A bit of a wait but well worth it, the food was outstanding

I really need to do This review this evening I do live in our beautiful village and took my friends this evening for dinner chef it was absolutely beautiful the cod with mussels was so beautiful and my friends said there so enjoyed there food tow thank you so very much and the service was amazing see u again soon Jeanette 😊

A great pint of Guinness Well worth the 10 minutes walk from Wetheral train station

The Inn took our 20 person booking and we were allocated the room upstairs which was perfect for our needs. Staff were courteous, helpful and efficient and the food was excellent. Feedback from pur party was excellent and would certainly book again.

Excellent food and extremely good value

We didn't eat but enjoyed a nice pint with the dog

Lovely place great atmosphere and friendly staff the burgers are to die for one of the best burgers I've had

The food here is gorgeous and the manager is so friendly. The young female staff who served us wasn't sure on vegan menu or not much enthusiasm either towards serving. I imagine this is their first job. The food was absolutely gorgeous though.

WOW! And not too far for the lovely beer to travel 😊

The restaurant was darling and the staff was all very friendly. Great food, sticky toffee pudding, fried chicken, and fish n chips were especially good would come here again!

Love this place, food is good and interior of the pub takes you back in the future.

Lovely, genuine English pub in an idyllic setting. We ate outside beside a beautiful weeping willow and a quaint village green. The food was traditional in style but definitely superior in quality. Just what we needed on our journey home.

Excellent food and tables outside

Nothing special, standard food with high prices.

Superb find. The atmosphere is great, especially on a lovely sunny day. The food was brilliant, along with the service. I'll definitely return!

Lovely olde worlde pub excellent atmosphere good food and drinks

Lovely meal and very friendly staff

I had the fish and chips yesterday and in my opinion it was the worst fish & chips I had for a very long time and I am 70 years old!

Cosy old pub and staff were friendly. Unfortunately the food was terrible. Both the risotto and pie were like a cheap packet microwave meals, especially dissapoiting given the price of these dishes.

Nice little country pub/restaurant near Carlisle. Friendly welcome and an excellent lunch beside an a nice open fire. Locally brewed ales on tap and more available in bottles.

Love this place! I visit whenever in the area and it always delivers great, friendly service and tasty food! Very much recommend the vegetarian homity pie and Corby ale. Beautiful old building, with atmospheric fireplaces and settings. The toilets are clean and there's customer free parking. Gem of a country inn. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely restaurant and excellent food. The Queen Inn is a great place for Sunday lunch. Great food great service

Visiting friends who decided to treat me for a meal out

Lovely character pub. Dog friendly. Great food. Just used as a lunch stop but would definitely recommend for a longer stay.

This was the first time I was here. Sunday lunch was very good and staff excellent. Will definately be back.

Only minor gripe was no stuffing with chicken

Brilliant Christmas morning with free nibbles and a great welcome.

Great atmosphere on Christmas morning, lots of locals in enjoying drinks and nibbles. Comfortable lounge area with sofas and log burning stove.

The food at this village pub is wonderful. I had the evening special, venison tenderloin with a pheasant hot pot (pic included). As you can probably guess, this is more of a "high end" establishment. Needless to say, it was absolutely delicious. Sticky Toffee Pudding was the dessert and it also did not disappoint. One word of caution, if you wish to take advantage of the dining facilities, it would be a good idea to reserve in advance.

Super friendly staff. Great atmosphere. Try the Great Corby Ale.

Food was great. Lovley country pub.

The meal was very nice when it arrived but service was very slow. We waited ages before our desert arrived

Fantastic food, friendly staff all very happy to help. Always felt well looked after but not overly bothered. food was excellent, good size portions and great value for money.

What a fantastic pub for food and drinks, as soon as you walk in the sound and smell of the fire and a wonderful warm welcome from Robert and his staff make for a truly relaxing experience. The quality of food and service at The Queen are as good as you could find in the area and we arrived with two children under five and a dog, but none of this was any issue. Hard to beat I’d say 👍

Never been disappointed here. A well run establishment with attentive staff and excellent fare.

Visited for a meal while we were staying locally and couldn't fault a thing. The food was absolutely amazing, perfectly sized portions, stunning flavour combinations and reasonably priced. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Magic pub with all the character of what a pub should be. Staff are delightful and can’t do enough to help.

Friendly service, good ales, welcoming atmosphere.

A Sunday lunch that hit the mark. A selection of meals were available which provided ample choise on the day. All proved to be tasty dishes served in a leisurely manner allowing for a relaxing family meal.

A great find on a flying visit to meet relatives after our usual venues in nearby Wetheral couldn't accommodate us for lunch. Good food, service and ambiance. Will definitely return.

Portions very small. Menu needed to be clearer what was served with a vegan burger. Sadly we ate inside and there were lots of flies. It really impacted on eating as had to swipe a fly every few seconds. Serving staff really polite and helpful

This is a pub that has lost its character of being a pub. The clientele is from out of town and there is no local feel at all. It is a boutique place serving overpriced meals.

Lovely food and super drinks selection.

What a wonderful place! The really kind service with bread and a small plate as complimentary was amazing. There are some vegetarian options which are highly recommended. Unfortunately we do not live nearby, otherwise we would come back very often.

Beautiful country pub, lovely food and great service

Had a meal with the family and the dog outside on a beautiful evening. Food was excellent and the service was on point.

Excellent food and service. Warm cosy feel inside with plenty of space. Still an amazing restaurant, 4 years on.

Great pub with a lovely country vibe great seating area at front on village green. Staff very friendly plus a great restaurant and lovely food.

Lovely food, great service. The Corby ale was really nice too.

Me and wife was passing through and decided to stop and have something to eat, what a marvelous decision we made, our meals were absolutely beautiful and was the appertizers, it was a beautiful pleasure from stepping inside 10 out of 10

Staff excellent, food excellent. Twice-bakef souffle top-notch.

Food very good, staff very good and friendly.

Fantastic meal. From starters to desert. Must pay a visit

Reay enjoyed my dinner there, lovely rural location, delicious homemade food and lovely service.

A really lovely pub dining experience, with tables outside and in. Dog friendly for those with pets. The staff are friendly and polite, and the food and local beers are excellent. Toilet facilities clean and well maintained. An attractive mix of a traditional pub setting with a touch of modern luxury. Simply really pleasant. I'll be returning when I next visit the area.

Four of us ate here yesterday and it was Lovely. Nice Traditional Pub set in a Stunning Village, Great Food which was fresh and prepared well, all with Excellent Friendly Service. Really good range of Beers to , some of which come from the Brewery next door, which in itself is worth a visit. All in all we had a lovely lunch and will certainly return, thank you to all involved 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Not great, Ran out of diet coke Lemon in drink even though asked for none to be added Ages to take order My pie felt like it had microwaved as crust was rock hard Not asked if everything was OK Onions rings nearly raw inside Not asked if wanted anymore drinks Had to asked twice for the bill Had to take bill to the til as no-one came to take money Waitresses keep dropping cutlery so not very relaxing evening. In the end had to take bill to the ill to pay as noone came back

A lovely place to be first time there the buffette was amazing we will be back

Excellent food, friendly staff, perfect evening...

What a place . Amazing food, service on another level . 10 Stars from me

Great food, friendly staff and really nice surroundings.

Good food and fantastic pints very nice experience

Lovely village pub, serving great food and excellent beer, brewed next door

Nice pub, good food at reasonable prices, good service

Great food in lovely cozy surroundings. Went for Sunday lunch and it tasted lovely and they also cater very well for children. Highly recommended.

Have been twice now and both times the food and service were excellent. Highly reccommended

Eaten here a few times lately, and it is now established amongst my firm favourites. Corby ales, brewed across the road, are always spot on wherever I've tried them, and no exception here. Can't fault the food. People in our parties have probably tried everything on the menu by now, and I haven't heard a bad word. The current proprietors are getting it right. I hope they stick around.

We enjoyed a lovely family Sunday lunch yesterday. Gillian and all the staff were charming and professional as always. Excellent food and cant recommend enough.

Excellent food, friendly staff and a lovely setting !

went here for Christmas meal would highly recommend it was lovely

Superb food, very professional and charming staff in a comfortable environment. Would recommend very highly to anyone. The rib eye cooked to perfection.

Lovely staff and a delicious Sunday roast. Thankyou.

Great qtmosphere, lovely staff, great food,felt well looked after.

Lovely place great food friendly staff

Perfect surroundings, amazing food and lovely staff! Not to mention a cosy open fire !

Nice place, although we sat outside. Friendly bar staff.

Such a lovely pub! Food was superb (especially the steak pie) and the staff very friendly. Would love to go back.

Sorry, but disappointed had fish & chips was very oily , chips tasted the same, my partners gammon meal was the same which was a shame as the pub was recommended to us ....

Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and good food. Definitely recommend

Excellent food. Friendly staff. Definitely recommend.

Absolutely DELICIOUS food and great ambience. Thoroughly enjoyed our early evening meal and my cheese souffle starter was soooo good. We're back again on Thursday evening for more delicious offerings and the staff (especially our host Michael) were all super friendly and attentive even though the place was really busy (always a good sign). Of all the places we've dined (in our 7 day trip), this is our favourite. Try the cheese souffle starter, you won't be disappointed.

excellent food, brilliant staff!

Lovely pub very friendly staff. We are going back for Dinner 👍
