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.

Really good cafe, part of the delivery. They do a good range of food and the pie with veg and chips or mash was really tasty. Excellent value too. Note that the hot food stops at 1.30 but they open until 3.30. Staff are really friendly too.

Didn't manage to get a table as fully booked however had a pint and service was fantastic! Hope to come back another time but with a booking for food.

Very reasonable, a little like Scottish prices. Very friendly Scottish waitress.

Travelling back home to east coast of Scotland after flying into Manchester airport. Stopped at Gretna for an overnight stay. Chase hotel was recommended for an evening meal. We are glad it was. Great, friendly atmosphere. I had the special curry and it was fantastic. The staff member that looked after us was Preet, she was friendly, professional and just added to our evening. Can’t recommend the Chase enough. Fantastic meal venue and a true added value to the many visitors to the outlet stores.

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.

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

Best fish and chips in the UK, cooked the old fashion way, pity they can't be rapid in newspaper, like years ago, fantastic food.

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 😋

Stayed 2 nights in late December. Comfy room and exceptionally polite and helpful staff. My wife left her treasured pillow behind and they posted it back next day also refusing payment we offered. Would definitely stay again.

If you want a raw Pizza this is the place to go. We ordered 3x 10” pizzas and all were burnt slightly on the bottom but in a twist of fate they were also raw, chewy and generally tasteless. The 1 star was for the chips but hey how hard are they to cook? Avoid at all costs.

What a lovely place. The cafe is beautiful. The food was fresh, tasty and well presented. The cakes looked absolutely stunning but I was too full to manage one. The lady who served us was polite and professional. We enjoyed a little look in the garden centre and the staff were extremely helpful there too. Looking forward to returning.
