The best restaurants in Carlisle North West

Lovely local pub with delicious food and friendly atmosphere. We had a 'low key' birthday celebration. Perfect balance of friendly chat and delicious food.

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.

A wonderful time yesterday celebrating our mums 80th birthday. Excellent food and staff and the party of 14 very well catered for, would definitely recommend. Favourites from our food choices were the pea risotto, pulled pork wrap and fish and chips (excellent chips!). Thank you for a memorable afternoon.

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

Being here earlier in the year, loved it x hubby surprised me with a little sneaky night away & we got a pod😛 img always wanted to stay in a pod ! Was super clean the shower was amazing & at first thought it would be could but boost the heating up was red hot!! The bedding linen etc were exceptionally clean honestly I can’t wait to go back!!! The staff, the locals are really lovely people ….. my only concern is I’m writing this & Steve & team get so booked up I won’t be able to get a room xxx we’ll find guys x bagel of a place x ❤️

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

Nice staff very helpful, had a bacon baguette, bacon was very fatty, spoiled was was otherwise a decent sausage and bacon baguette.

Ordered afternoon tea to take away, to celebrate a special birthday. The ladies were so helpful and added an extra tea to the order when we needed to add an extra guest. All the food was made fresh on the day, and was absolutely delicious we had a fantastic afternoon.

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

Fantastic Birthday cake made for us, was the best cake I've ever bought by far, thanks a lot..

Very busy but found a seat in a short while. Pricing plan for sandwiches a bit confusing but maybe that was just me. We had the nicest cheese scones we’ve had for a long time and a tasty coffee and tea. Clean, tidy with friendly staff , I will defend barely go back there again.

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.

Lovely little log cabin coffee shop beautifully clean and the coffee and cakes are good . we went in when we was looking for plants for our garden. The staff are brilliant and professional. So if you would like a coffee or a light lunch while looking for plants for your garden come here its a little gem
