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.

Was my first time here and will certainly be back. Service and food was excellent. Beautiful country pub in a lovely location offering total value for money.

Visited today as we were in longtown. Seated quickly we both chose Sunday lunch. Food arrived and was tasty and plentiful. It was that good we ordered a pudding. Sensibly priced we shall return

Great food just don’t accept card anymore which is an inconvenience

Very beautiful mixture of the old and the new . Restaurant top notch.

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. 👍

Absolutely delicious 😋 food and amazing service

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 😋

Omg the woman who makes the desserts should open a bakery

Sunday Lunch was really good. Booked a table, but was placed on a table just in the extension so the thoroughfare between the main part and the extension which isn't a great table and the whole place felt cold. Went with elderly parents and the younger generation but we were all cold, which is something I have experienced before here, as I have frequented this location on various occasions. It would be a more enjoyable experience if it was a bit more warm and cosy. Next time when I book I will request a table in the main part.
