The best restaurants in Carlisle North West

We had a very friendly welcome and were very well looked after. The menu is fairly varied but fairly straightforward. Food was all good, freshly prepared and well presented. The ploughman’s was especially good. Cakes looked good. Will probably be back.

Gorgeous food, fish and chips are delicious and good prices.

We happened upon this little gem on our way to Glendale Mobile park . Liked the welcoming inside, staff and the menu. So booked a table gor 6:30pm. Arriving promptly we found they had a lovely way of reserving our table (see photo).. I chose Med Chicken Curry from the Nights Specials curries (see photo) it came with every add on listed .. A good job I am a big lad . My companion hsd the Haddock , garden peas and chips with slices of lemon . It was huge and delicious and very tasty . There were several excellent beers on tap (see photo).. the beer i chose at random was well prepared and delicious. (Real Ale drinkers would enjoy here).. £4 a pint for each beer is a good price. One can immediately tell that the Landlords, Becki and Tom, take great delight in caring about their customers , their food and their beers. One could ask no more of this charming couple - a great Mein Hosts pair. After so many reviews I have written on Trip Advisor this Drovers Rest has come in the Top 3 visited around the world. I highly recommend it to my 6,500+ followers on here . Do NOT miss visiting and eating here if in the area . You will be delighted . As usual, I know no member of staff , and have received no benefits at all for my fair based review. Tom.

Excellent full English breakfast. Nothing negative to say except more toast please. Friendly staff. Good coffee. Nice location.

Definitely back again to eat all from menu and drink some more cocktails

This was a memorable meal to celebrate a reunion. Those that hadn't been before were impressed by the grounds and the friendly atmosphere in the restaurant. All eleven of us agreed that the food and service were excellent. The two vegetarians in our group were also delighted. Couldn't ask for better.

Usually really enjoy our lunches at Great Corby. Waited over an hour - husbands meal arrived first - Luke warm and chips looked greasy and tired. Told Chef never made soufflé b4 and it had failed - raw soufflé arrjved 10 mins later. No bread which I had ordered and salad arrived opposite to what I had ordered. Ended up not paying. Could see waitresses embarrassed and felt sorry for them. Apparently working with agency chefs - have to say pub ruining reputation. Lunch was appalling and won’t be back until staff secured. Hugely disappointing!!

The best coffee in Brampton! We love coming here for coffee and breakfast. Very friendly owner, Emma and her lovely baristas work hard to get your order just right. There are a great range of coffee, tea and home made cakes as well as savoury hot food. The place is often bustling with cosy chat, interesting art work on the walls (Emma has artist’s displays each month) and it’s also dog friendly too. Just a great place.

Atmospheric bar and restaurant. Wooden beams, felt like nothing had changed from a bygone age. Very comfortable and cosy. Staff very friendly and chatty. Plenty of choice on the menu and a specials board. Food was really good. Haggis as a starter was delicious. Good mix of locals and hotel guests with good vibes.

Need to go over to the North East to understand the meaning of the real fish and chips! Batter too thin and tasteless, skin normally left on for better taste - but cod skinless and tasteless. Mush instead of mushy peas. Chips cold.

Attended a reunion with friends here, private dining on the terrace, the service was appalling, they had 3 large parties and obviously insufficient staff. The starter arrived some 25 minutes late, tepid soup, not very appetising, then a 55 minute wait for the mains, overcooked beef and lukewarm veg, no gravy, the a wait for sweet, sticky toffee pudding, can't go wrong with that, oh yes they could, pudding had sort of crust on it and was served with a miniscule portion of ice cream. All in all a huge disappointment and not what we expected, they really need to up their game.

Great food from this chinese. Probably the best in Carlisle. Food is always hot and tasty.

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.

One of the best Indian takeaway in Cumbria banging food as always . Great staff and delivery drivers spot on lads

Set in a beautiful historic building in the centre of the town this is a great Hub for a breakfast/lunch/drinks . We just had a quick breakfast snack with a great authentic cappuccino. Friendly staff . Outside seating is available if the weather permits.
