The best restaurants in Longtown & Rockcliffe Carlisle North West

Can’t wait to repeat Sunday’s fabulous afternoon tea at Bessiestown. Everything was home made, so tasty and melt in the mouth. Too much for us to manage but what we couldn’t eat was plated and given to us to take home. Couldn’t fault the experience.

Every time we are in Scotland we go here. We are in love with this restaurant! There is especially a great vegan selection. They make everything possible and we love it. The atmosphere is so nice too! Monthly, rustic and yet modern. Definitely reserve in advance! But it is clear that you have to come! Beer lovers will also get their money's worth here 🥰 we love you!

We did not use the hotel services, but we used cafe. The presentation is really nice, we paid £8.25 for the Jake’s potato with prawns and Marie Rose sauce. The potato is perfectly cooked, literally melted in mouth, the sauce is good too, appreciate the amount of prawns that was put in, really good. The cappuccino was not as good unfortunately it was too watery(?). Over all nice experience

We had our wedding at anvil Hall and stayed here for 2 nights. Staff were friendly and helpful the Adam and eve bridal suite was lovely. The food was amazing 5 star. The only complaint we had was the water wasn't hot we spoke to the reception who assured us it would be working before our wedding unfortunately it wasn't ready we came back after our wedding and the water was hardly warm enoigh for a shower but can't fault the hotel apart from that

Meat was very dry curry sauces were incredibly bland and about as spicy as a carrot . The young lad behind the counter did a good job but the food was rubbish

Well kept secret! Although this hotel is in centre of town the restaurant is surprisingly quiet. Not frequented by many locals. The food here is excellent. Great menu, every course we had was delicious. Our party had beautiful cheese soufflés, seafood pappardelle, cod, and chicken mains, all well presented and tasty. Lovely desserts too. A couple of bottles of wine reasonably priced. Everyone enjoyed the dinner and would definitely make a return visit.

Called in today and had a lovely lunch of chicken and leek pie. Very good chips without skins (crispy but soft inside) and perfectly cooked veg, no rock hard broccoli stems and some tasty cauliflower.

Passing thro from down south bought scotch mince pies and steak pies and bridies they were delicious pity it's so far away. 👍

2 battered sausages 1 fish 1chips a carton of curry sauce £22.00 bloody rip off

OK, a service station Costa, but really enjoy visiting this Costa Cafe. Staff always friendly, and as you would expect coffee excellent, and so are the blueberry muffins 😋
