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.

Visited today for the Festive Menu. The food was beautifully presented and delicious. The staff were kept busy, but were able to provide an excellent service to all diners. They were very efficient, pleasant and friendly.

Absolutely love the cafe and even more now it's on our doorstep. Always get a warm welcome and the menu is great So nice to find good British home cooked food. Always an extra choice or two on the sp ecials and the Sunday lunch is delicious and can be had to takeaway if they are busy. The sweets are to die for and the scones. So nice to see a local business that is well supported by locals and visitors

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 😋
