The best restaurants in Castle Carlisle North West

Wow!!! Alan and Mai make a fabulous Thai meal. This cannot be beaten in taste and value. If you want a reasonable priced very tasty Thai meal you must go. I haven't been for a year as I have been following a diet plan but now I remember what I've been missing!! Last night I ordered 2 x Beef Penang Thai Currys, 2 x sticky rice (if you haven't tried this - please do - so authentic), 1 x Prawn Spring Roll and gave my collection time. I reheated in oven and microwave for tea tonight and it was all delicious!! I believe all of this was very generous portions and cost just over £20. Alan and Mai also do a loyalty card and after a number of visits you are rewarded with money off your next order. They work in a very small van together but it works for them. Mai keeps Alan in check too! Please note they need a request for sticky rice the day before as it takes longer to prepare.

Beautiful tasty well presented delicious food , excellent service Aboslutely loved everything , fresh & very very tasty Will definetley be back again Missing out if youve not been , great place

The food here is bloody amazing. I always get the schnitzel and it's beyond being amazing it's so good. They always cater to every need at no extra cost it's sad to see them go.

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

This Northerner drifted across this gem by accident and my word it did not disappoint him folks. Upon arrival I was made more than welcome by the lovely ladies who work there. They then ambushed me with the amazing food selection, I made a joke about asking them to read it out again (lol). I went for their new toasted tortilla parcel; a divine mixture of spiced Bombay potatoes, yoghurt mint, pineapple and relish. Fabulous. Coffee brilliant too. Would recommend to a friend and I'll be going back that's for sure.

Lovely food for a good price, made even better by amazing staff! Quick service and top quality food

Great choice of records at a good price ,picked myself a nice single up and had tasty some ice-cream from the cafe as well . Cool vibes and the owners were lovely as well 😀

Love Adeline’s cafe. The cakes are the best I have had anywhere ever and that’s saying a lot cos I eat a lot of cakes 😂. The host always has a bit of crack with you. The decor is lovely as well. Highly recommend for coffee and a cake or a lunch.

Lots of choice, including lots of vegan donuts. Very friendly staff members. We come here quite regularly and normally buy a box of four. Also, some of the best jam filled donuts we've ever had.

Food good. Service great. Good value. As yet no Card Payment option. May be available soon. Worth a visit.

Staff are very friendly nothing is too much trouble and the ice cream is absolutely gorgeous would highly recommend the palma violet ice cream!

Had the best hot chocolate we've had in a long time. Even treats for the dogs. Great service, lovely man.

First time trying this place and it most definitely won't be the last, the food tastes absolutely brilliant and would recommend it to anyone

Best cheesecakes I have ever had - great texture, and taste and they offer great combinations of flavors.

Reaching Pennies by foot from the center of town you would approach by Botchergate then turn left , approaching pennies there is a bin just outside the cafe , for off loading your unneeded litter , The cafe is rather on the small side but cozy , the max of space would hold fourteen people , Pennies closes early in the day , @ 3 pm , the decor is straight forward basic the cafe notice board shows a homely working but to me is fine , You get the regular roll call of locals attending there and it shows the social tick over of life with Carlisle people , The food is of a wholesome menu and selection of home cooked meals , snacks , etc and is a normal cost across the board for Carlisle for tummy filling dishes , if asked for you could possibly have made a dish / plate of yum yums that is not even upon the menu board , so for " they who dare ask -- will find " ,One of the back bone dishes upon the menu is the all day Breakfast a typical British signature dish , small ( £ 4.00 )or large ( £ 5.00 ) which holds a comprehensible selection + a small side plate of toast and you can tune up on your likes and dislikes as to what you get put upon your plate , A few choices of type of coffees there but also cold drinks too, From a cup to a mug size and up to a tea pot of tea served , A true down to earth CAFE jaunt for the budget traveler , The sourced food supplies Pennies are from a good local stockist who are Carlisle grown producers , Pennies also caters for the special diet need for food stuff allergies and medication needs too so ask and please say to receive :-) , Their is also a sign post out side the front of the shop for chaining up the bicycles , they have no baby high chairs for use , Upon the Tait street one way traffic flow system is road side parking but please check for sign post regulations and rules of parking at that road side just before to Pennies Cafe of Carlisle Cumbria UK .
