vallum house in Carlisle

Very welcoming and kind. Fresh food is served daily. Rooms are very clean, warm, and comfortable. Wifi is very strong and easy accessible Highly recommended

Saw the menu on Face book about their light lunch, very good choices of mains and puddings plus a cup of tea or coffee all for £9.50! We were served by 2 friendly members of staff Jen and Elaine. Just the right amount of food leaving room for sherry trifle, very tasty! We will be back, thank you

Food was well cooked and well presented. Service was very good and staff very friendly. Meals are very good value for money.

We stayed in the hotel and after a tiring day of walking, decided to stay for dinner. We were not sorry. The food is simple but great and we are just amazed by the low prices. Staff is extremely helpful and nice.

We were there on curry night which is a normal option on the extensive home cooked menu. We had chicken tikka which was served with rice & 2 small naan breads, also a large dish of vegetables including creamed leeks and a bowl of chips. In addition we were offered a free drink with the curry! As we had spent the day walking Hadrian’s Wall we actually did eat most of it to our surprise! The man next to me had steak pie which he said was the best steak pie he had ever eaten, it did look amazing! All a bit 1970’s in style but in a good way. Friendly service and excellent value.

Gorgeous Sunday lunch today.. roast lamb accompanied by roast & mashed potatoes, leeks in a white sauce topped with cheese, cabbage, mashed carrot & swede and a delicious gravy.... lots of meat and along with the vegetables all were cooked to perfection.. Sherry trifle to follow.. which was tasty but I think they forgot to add the sherry 🤣 Can thoroughly recommend but would advise booking a table as can get busy.

Would highly recommend this place. Booked at the last minute & they managed to fit us in. Had Sunday lunch, food was excellent- couldn’t fault it. Service was again excellent. A lovely lady called Jen looked after us & provided an extremely friendly & professional service. Thank you. We will definitely be going back.

Roast turkey with stuffing....plenty of tasty turkey....but they forgot the stuffing! Priced at less than £10. reasonable with roast and boiled potatoes carrots cabbage and leek/ cheese speciality. Nice meal. Surroundings are dated but it appeals to locals who know what to expect and get a decent meal.

We had a meal here for my parents 25th wedding anniversary! Food was gorgeous and there was plenty of it and pudding was lovely as well. I had roast beef and then chocolate fudge cake! Love it here, friendly staff, good atmosphere and brilliant food!

Lovely quiet and welcoming atmosphere, we had to book for a Saturday evening, meals start at 6pm. Great choice, well cooked and very generous portions. The staff were friendly and helpful and the prices were more than reasonable. We could highly recommend this Hotel, we will certainly be eating here on our next visit to Carlisle.

There was seven of use and we all enjoyed our meal the lasagna was taste the roast beef was melt in the mouth a good selection of vegetables and everything was nice and hot we also had pudding which where all very good the only thing I found expensive was the drinks but apart from that no complaints

Another fab night at Vallum house, we had a party of 18 and there so accommodating food was excellent and good value though people say it's dated we as a family love it. The food and service are fantastic.

Very quiet family run restaurant is really good and you get plenty. Staff are friendly but you do need yo book as sometimes very busy especially at weekends.

Went for a family meal. Can't complain, was perfect. Staff wee friendly and helpful and food was good. Would recommend.

The food here is the some of the best served in Carlisle all food is delicious with generous portions aswell the only thing that lets this restaurant down is the decor which needs modernising apart from that worth a visit

You always get a good meal at Vallum house. The hotel is very pleasant, there is parking, and disabled access. The food is always well cooked, and very reasonable. Atmosphere is very relaxing. I would recommend.

Turned up without a booking but they managed to squeeze us in and boy are we glad they did. Lovely freshly cooked food, huge portions, tasty desserts. The 2 courses for 11.50 is a bargain. Would definitely go back but I'll book next time.

We dined here on Sunday lunchtime 17 January 2016, and we weren't disappointed. Lovely staff, lovely food, piping hot, and a decent pint, what is there not to like. Recommend it to anyone wanting a a really class meal, lovely.

Chose here for husbands birthday as we have been a lot before.There were 12 in our party and cannot fault any of the food we had.Starters were beautifully presented.Mains were piping hot,meat melted in your mouth.Loads of veg and potatoes.Deserts were all beautiful.All in all a wonderful experience for all my family.The staff are amazing and are an asset to the place.Good value for money.We will be back.

Lovely main meal, desserts disappointing. Background music a strange mix and played very loud. No options of decaffeinated Tea or coffee for after meal. Disabled access blocked by a car on arrival and when leaving so couldnt access wider door or ramp. Staff just said how annoying! They didn't have to get wheelchair up half a dozen steps! And no disabled loo!!

Turned up with out booking but very lucky they could fit use in the place is like a throwback to the 80s but the food was lovely beef to melt in the mouth and lemon pudding the portion are really good we had the early bird menu so £11 for 2 course very good value drinks are expensive but the meal make up for it

Lovely, friendly staff wonderful meal and reasonably priced, would recommend vallum house to everybody.

My wife & I called here this week again after not visiting for a few weeks, it was very quiet, only two couples when we were there, BUT i must say even though it was so quiet the food was served piping hot plenty of vegetables & a portion of really tasty chips as well as new potatoes.My wife & I both had the lunchtime special which is the main meal & sweet for £10.75 a bargain!!

The food at Vallum House is excellent & good value, the food is consistently good & has been for many years, we have never been disappointed any time I have eaten there.

Visited here for a wedding buffet. The food was great, with a good selection of foods to suit all. The Desserts were splendid. Especially the Profiteroles.Lovely touch for the children, with the homemade chicken nuggets. It is, however; the staff that make this place a very good experience. They're all really friendly and helpful and attentive to the guests needs.

great little place, great food, reasonable price, good staff!! Give it a go!, we both loved it and will be bac

nice food but pricey very bussy place recommend booking a table especially weekends gammon and the Cumberland sausage our fav;s

This used to be very good but unfortunately it has gone down hill, the food is not as nice and it could do with updated as the decor is old and tired.

This place is great. It looks very old-fashioned when you go in, as if the clock had stopped somewhere around 1976, and the food is of that era too - but there's nothing wrong with keeping it old-school! The quality is excellent, the portions generous and the service efficient and friendly. Overall it was an excellent meal that made up for the rather drab neighbourhood. This isn't a gourmet restaurant but it does what it does extremely well.

Had a lovely meal, it was the 2 course offer if you go early evening. Portions were big, staff are nice & friendly, will go back as I really enjoyed it.

Warm plates, lovely food, plenty of choice, good music. The room was decorated tastefully, and party poppers and balloons for the younger children.

Great Sunday roast with all the trimmings. Scrummy puds all served by lovely friendly staff. Nice atmosphere and reasonably priced. We'll be back.

Well, what can I say? Friendly staff, inviting atmosphere, with a nice homely feel. We've eaten here loads of times over the years, and the menu doesn't disappoint! I try different meals and I must say they have ALL been great. Piping hot meals, and you always get a plateful. Thoroughly enjoyed it last Saturday (07/12/13) which was my Birthday by the way! Even though the place was pretty full, we didn't have to wait long for the food. We will definitely return!

Been going to Vallum house for a number of years and never been disappointed.The menu has a good choice of meals and from Monday to Friday they offer a main course and dessert for £10.75 between 6pm and 7pm, it is always excellent.If you are in the area its worth a visit, you will not be disappointed.

They had a birthday party on next door to where we were eating, however the service was faultless.The food was to a very high standard, it was expensive but it was worth every penny.Would consider going again in the very near future.

Just been to 70th birthday here, carvery menu. No superlatives, fantastic food, no razor carving here! Spring roll starter, beef main and banoffee dessert, stuffed!!!! Would seriously recommend a visit, just keep it to youself

came here for my partners dads 60th birthday staff were friendly the food you couldnt fault nice size portions and very tasty. I had the portobello mushrooms to start which were 4 decent sized mushrooms covered in chilli con carni with melted chesse over it served with salad very tasty indeed. I had for my main chicken stuffed wid mushrooms and leeks with a mushroom sauce came with side dishes of new potaoes, green beans and cheesy leeks and chips so you had a nice choice of what to have with main meal. My dessert was sticky toffee pudding very big but tasty.Would come back here again for sure.
