The Stone Inn in Carlisle

Crowded bar area, immediate impression was it was a local pub, for local people. However, the main seating area was upstairs, away from the bar. A pleasant area. The food was good, the steak pie, excellent. Could have suffered a few more vegetables though.

We've just had a meal at The Stone Inn and I wanted to drop a review. From the very warm welcome we received upon entering the very busy pub, to the fabulous service and excellent food - all outstanding. We hadn't booked but were made to feel comfortable and welcome. We were told there would be a table if we were willing to wait a short while. I'm pleased we did as the food was delicious; home made and hearty. I can recommend the steak pie (sourced from the local butchers). The pub is a traditional country pub, with an old range and spiral staircase upstairs. It was very comfortable. A very friendly place off the beaten track and very much worth a visit.

Lovely food good value lovely staff would definitely recommend, the steak pie and the roast dinner were excellent

Superb! If you want a quiet, friendly pub with good food, this is it! None of your poncy I want to be a posh restaurant malarkey. Good honest food, good honest prices, great staff and atmosphere. Excellent. If only I lived closer!

Unfortunately we didn't eat,but had drinks. It was a good night. The atmosphere was brilliant as they had a group on ,in the bar was a little commotion with a customer who said words that weren't nice and the landlady put a stop to it very quickly, so we'll done

Food was so fresh ,hot and a fantastic service, we couldn't fault anything, a lovely friendly atmosphere with a wonderful family environment,,please try the fish and chips. Been many times and can't wait to return

We stayed in a holiday cottage about 50m from The Stone Inn and we ate here on 2 nights. Although it’s a relatively small place, we were seated upstairs which was fine as we had our dog with us.The service was prompt and friendly. The food was better than expected tbh. We had the roast dinner on Sun and it was excellent.

Great little pub with a lovely atmosphere, nice roaring fire, good locals, nice staff and cracking food, would definitely go back if I get the chance

We stayed the very friendly village of Hayton for a long weekend. This local pub was a delight and seemingly completely untouched unlike most pubs nowadays. A roaring fire, chatty locals and local beers was a winning combination. We had booked a Sunday evening meal for four adults and two children which was delicious. Food-envy was in full force. Highly recommend popping in if you're in the area.

Always tidy and staff are a loverly.

Good little pub with great food and cold beer on the Hadrian's cycling route (72), staff were very friendly, and assisting me with my swollen lip, as I had just been stung an hour before.

Wonderful. My sort of genuine village pub where its whole purpose is to serve and be part of the community. Good beer, basic pub grub, friendly locals. Good luck with your leeks!

Nice little pub. Shame about the kinder garden going here.Kids left unsupervised, screaming and running in and out of the toilets. Unless you want kids around screaming all afternoon late into the night, I'd give this place a wide birth!

Fabulous little pub! Very friendly

Excellent meal, the steak pie in particular was exceptional. The fish & chips was more like whale and chips. Lovely dessert selection Dining room is small (6 or so tables) in a cute way. It's up narrow stairs so not suitable for wheelchairs, but there are tables downstairs, perhaps they might be able to accommodate if given advance notice. Limited parking, but definitely worth the effort. We will be back

Lovely little pub in a gorgeous village with friendly landlord and a strong community focus.

Just called in for a pint and a toasted sandwiches, lunchtime while walking with my wife, great local pub, friendly locals and a great landlord,

Visited for drinks and evening meal. Nice traditional pub with excellent home cooked food at reasonable price. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful and the locals also very friendly and good fun. The downstairs bar and eating area are dog friendly. Will definitely be returning.

We always try to go to The Stone Inn when up in the area. Its only open for food on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. Food is really good,freshly cooked and with a nice menu. Wine is excellent as is the beer. Staff are friendly and very good. We will be back.

Great traditional country pub Real ales and good food

What a great pub, very friendly and helpful landlady and bar staff, nothing is too much effort. Ordered a batch of Haggis Bon Bon’s to take away Great service and people Surprised how good and in expensive the drink and food is. BT television and all you need in a great village pub GIVE IT A TRY. EXCELLENT!!

We were lucky enough to have The Stone Inn literally on the doorstep of our holiday accommodation, and were delighted to have such a welcoming pub serving excellent home-cooked food at weekends. I had booked ahead of our stay for a meal for one night, but ended up eating two consecutive nights we enjoyed it so much. Dogs are welcome in the bar area, and booking is recommended as this lovely village pub is extremely popular. We were spoilt for choice from the menu, but particularly enjoyed the Chilli Beef Enchiladas, Chicken Enchilada Suiza and Steak Pie. If only we had been there another evening as I would have loved to try the Fish and Chips which seemed very popular with the locals. The service was excellent on two very busy evenings, not only were the staff attentive and accommodating to those dining in the pub, but also managed takeaways in what appeared to be a very swift and streamlined service.

Excellent takeaway meals on Saturday 20/3/2021, much enjoyed by 5 hungry customers.

We have had takeaways from here a few times in lockdown and the food is exceptional. Really delicious homemade food, done well. Unlike some other restaurant takeaways we’ve had, the food was piping hot, good portion sizes and not overpriced! Excellent service and excellent food- i hope they will continue with takeaways long after this lockdown is over!

We have just had a Sunday takeaway lunch delicious 😋 Certainly be back again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 🌹well done for doing excellent takeaway meals during this pandemic.

Thank you for a lovely welcome, excellent food, great atmosphere, great service and reasonable price.

Visited twice as they allow dogs, first evening found the food excellent and service attentive, so impressed we returned the next day for a Sunday roast which was simply delicious Would certainly return and recommend to anyone visiting the area

Called in to meet friends, decided to have a meal, the restaurant was fully booked, but we were served a beautiful roast beef downstairs as soon as they could. Great pub to have in an amazing village. Staff and owners Charlotte and Jane are always pleasant and accommodating

We rang on the Sunday and got a table for 6 that evening. The pub is a small intimate building with lots of character. The meals were all of excellent hone cooked values and my roast beef dinner was great value at £10. All our plates were empty which is always a good sign. The puddings were the star of the show - the pina Colada cheesecake and the sticky toffee pudding were fantastic. Highly recommended!

Picked the pub due to its reviews and to the fact it was fairly local to us, we arrived and as we waited in the bar area there was a group of men who had had a bit too much alcohol and where using some choice language, mainly every other word began with F, the landlady didn't seem bothered in the least by this but in a bar with children and couples in it not a great thing. Anyway we went up to the seating area up stairs and we where basically left to seat ourselves as the 2 girls who where waiting on seemed pre occupied with something else I know not what, when they took our order we had to wait an hour for some basic food(pie chips and peas) this place has the potential to be a great eatery but it is in a state of limbo, not sure whether it wants to be a pub for locals or an eatery, with a bit of thought and maybe a revamp it could probably do both but as it stands now we wont be going back as there are plenty of other pubs doing better food and service with a much better ambiance

Delightful landlord, let me buy a drink and use the ladies even though he had just closed!

First visit, for a pre Xmas meal, lovely food In a lovely location, excellent venue for our family get together 👍😀

We had the early evening Sunday Roast, it was value for money and just the right amount. Friendly staff in small country pub

Wonderful village pub, warm welcome

We often stay at the Old Chapel cottage and book with Air BB it is just behind the pub .. Dogs welcome. The food is always fresh and we'll cooked. Sunday late lunch is a must when we stay. Friday Night is full of locals and we have a great evenings banter with locals and visitors alike. It makes my weekend walks around Talkin Tarn and Gelt Woods worthwhile. We cannot recommend both venues in Hayton enough. Great Real Ale and English wines also

a great little pub who fit us in for a meal without a booking. the food was pretty average pub fair but the service and welcome made up for this. good value too

Speedy service & good food. We particularly liked the plentiful supply if potatoes/chips & mixed vegetables - a great assortment. I'd personally recommend the salmon, and the pavlova was divine - lots of fresh fruit on top.

A cozy place with a very hospitable host.

Had dinner here on Saturday evening with my family that have been visiting. We had a lovely time the food was great and the waitress we had was lovely could not do enough to please. We Sat upstairs and the surroundings are lovely. My sister had the raspberry and white chocolate cheesecake and loved it she was still talking about it the next day. So thanks for a great night we will definitely be back soon.

Fab pub great banter. Popped in when we arrived in village on Wednesday night - great chat, friendly bar maid and good local craic. Back again on Friday for footie, busier and good friendly chat and company. Recommend, good beer and good prices

Nos alojamos en Casita cerca de cerezo durante unos días. Llamado antes para comprobar nuestro perro wee es bienvenido y era él. El domingo se puede ver claramente lleno de gente muy amable. Había bebida y comida deliciosa. Lugar es muy amable con ganas de volver.

We recently stayed in the village and used the stone inn as our local. We were made very welcome as was our dog Willow. We ate in the lounge on Sunday evening, a delicious roast beef dinner. The young waitresses were very attentive and helpful.

Small out of the way free house full of friendly local people. Bar snacks all week and meals Friday, Saturday and Sunday.

Booked a table for two very easily over the phone, arrived at the pub and was warmly welcomed by the female host,

Visitamos el sábado 19 th 2016 Marzo con mi hijo, mi hija y mi hijo -en la ley. Había una carrera noche en en el bar y fue muy ocupados, pero habíamos reservado para una comida en el restaurante de arriba después de ver el menú un par de semanas antes. El menú no es amplio pero todos encontramos algo que me gustaron los kadies optando por el Wellington vegetariana y papada un bistec. La comida era muy buena. nos hemos reservado para volver el sábado.

Called in for a couple of pints on a ramble around the area while staying at the nearby Edmund Castle Estate, after starting at the Lane End Inn we walked the back lane into Hayton to arrive just after the pubs 5:30 opening time, we were the first in but were given a warm welcome and enjoyed a couple of pints sat sat by a roaring fire - we were impressed out quickly the pub filled up with locals obviously a hidden gem the Stone Inn and would love to have this as out local.

Went out for dinner with friends last night. Excellent service, fantastic food at a reasonable price, lovely warm and friendly atmosphere. Will definitely be returning.

Que necesiten una cena decente pero no antes excepcionales de un evento de ciclo de bicicleta la piedra Inn estaba situado y disponibles para la reserva. muy concurrido y animado con gente del salón bar era un poco de una avalancha pero el restaurante en la planta de arriba era más tranquilo y nos sentamos inmediatamente y ordenados. opciones estaban muy bien y bien de precio, estaba muy contento con mi pollo y chorizo, que era muy bueno y muy bien preparada, vegetales y todos ' al dente ' y muy bueno. torta de carne de amigos parecía un poco pesado. Cerveza excelente (Tyneside Oro). Se trata de un buen servicio strsightforward y relación calidad-precio muy buena. Recomendado.

We stayed at a delightful holiday cottage "Cherry Tree Cottage" in the village for 6 weeks . Booked 4 consecutive Saturday's in the upstairs restaurant for ourselves and family/friends. The service was superb, the food excellent, they changed the menu slightly each week so there was always a good selection and it was not silly money either. Highly recommended, a little gem tucked away in a delightful village, well worth a visit.

Had very enjoyable meal recently . Great atmosphere with welcoming staff . Excellent meal . Epwill definately return .

Spending a week in Cumbria for half term, and have visited this lovely pub twice. Excellent food at a fair price. The landlady is welcoming to anybody who walks through the door even to the point of witnessing our signatures for our house move, so that we could get them back down to Manchester ASAP. Would definitely recommend a visit

Fantastic local food, fantastic service, excellent value for money, lovely atmosphere. The chef made a point of coming out of the kitchen and spent time with her diners. A well kept secret!

Wonderful place for a party up to 30 people as you can book the restaurant for sole use.The food has been outstanding every time we have visited with an excellent range on the menu.The decor in the restaurant adds to the charming atmosphere.The bar downstairs has cosy winter fires and very friendly ambiance.

Have eaten at The Stone a few times now and every time we have always found the food to be excellent. I have also been as part of a larger party where we were able to have the whole dining area to ourselves, so can definitely recommend it for a celebration as well. Food is served at the weekends.The traditional cosy bar downstairs is also very welcoming and we have also enjoyed the quiz nights.

we went here on two occasions whilst staying in the area they had the footie on a big screen and were very friendly we joined in with the locals and were made to feel very welcome indeed we only had a bar snack but was told by the locals that the restaurant is very good would defo go back if in the area again

On a whim I bypassed the Lane End Inn sitting directly on the busy A69 and turned off on a short detour to visit the Stone Inn. It was an excellent decision as it transpired. My main course (fish) was far removed from the bland fare served up in some establishments as an option to red meat. It was moist, appetising and very tasty. My compliments to the chef. My coffee was served up somewhat tepid but that is by the bye, it was immediately replaced by a cheerful member of staff. The buildings, on the outside, are quaintly reminiscent of an old coaching inn which, at one time, I suppose it was. Within, the décor is tastefully 'period' without appearing contrived, harking back to the old fashioned inns of a bygone age.

Had a fabulous meal at The Stone Inn. Good choice on the menu, excellent value for money and brilliant service! The staff are very welcoming and will go out of their way to help you. Also, a warm cosy friendly atmosphere next to the roaring open fire. Will definitely be returning!!!

The Stone Inn, Hayton, Brampton, is a long established pub. The restaurant is up stairs and only operates Friday to Sunday. Excellent food at reasonable prices and decent portions. Wonderful pub with friendly locals. If you are around Brampton go to the Stone Inn. Simply follow the road from Hayton Lane End into the village of Hayton itself.

A friendly pub atmosphere with traditional real ale and cosy restaurant with good wholesome food, great value for money.A superb stop off on your journey between England and Scotland - a couple miles off the M6

Tucked away in the village of Hayton, on the outskirts of Carlisle, is The Stone Inn, a very traditional pub with a huge atmosphere,Food is served Friday and Saturday nights and Sunday early evening.Try to book to avoid disappointment. the food is cooked fresh on the premises and is gorgeous we go almost every week and look forward to trying new dishes, the owners of the pub are friendly and go out of their way to make everyone welcome.fantastic little gem.
