The best restaurants in Carlisle North West

We learnt of Big Pizza Pies via facebook, and my partner and I have been fans ever since. Beautiful hand made pizzas cooked in front of you in a wood fire, they are to die for! While I'm a simple margherita fan, my partner loves the different specials they have on every week, especially the cumberland sausage ones.

Pizza van in Local community hall car park, there most Saturdays. More to the point they're very good and keeping you informed via Facebook if they won't be there. Good selection of excellent Pizzas at reasonable prices,

Love Adeline’s cafe. The cakes are the best I have had anywhere ever and that’s saying a lot cos I eat a lot of cakes 😂. The host always has a bit of crack with you. The decor is lovely as well. Highly recommend for coffee and a cake or a lunch.

Food good. Service great. Good value. As yet no Card Payment option. May be available soon. Worth a visit.

It was so good…but I think it closed :<

Staff are very friendly nothing is too much trouble and the ice cream is absolutely gorgeous would highly recommend the palma violet ice cream!

We hired Cumbria Gourmet burgers for an event at our house where we had a large number of guests coming. The food was great and the service was brilliant.

Lovely refurbished restaurant after floods. Most enjoyable crayfish tail and smoked salmon salad. Table overlooked pond with moorhens. Very friendly staff and varied menu including light bites to full lunch. Worth a visit.

Friendly people, nice traditional boozer with outside seating. Good selection of ales that they brew themselves on the premises. Handy if you’ve been for a walk down the river and your heading back to Carlisle from dalston 👍🏼

First time trying this place and it most definitely won't be the last, the food tastes absolutely brilliant and would recommend it to anyone

On a off chance called in for lunch with friends very accommodating food was fresh/hot and plenty of it, staff were attentive and all in all a pleasant afternoon.

Absolutely delicious. Amazing. Perfect cheesecakes. World class

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.

This cafe has just won Best Cafe in England Award..........whilst this is a lovely cafe and adjoining shop the menu is definitely lacking. For people with dairy or egg intolerances or requiring vegan diets there is nothing . We mentioned about dairy/egg allergies and asked if they had anything vegan. Was told nothing on the menu but they could "veganise" anything on the menu. Great we thought...... we opted for a vegetarian sausage bap which we were told was actually vegan..... after about 10 minutes we were told they didn't have any; but they could rustle up a delicious vegan breakfast instead. Excellent we thought....... after about 20 minutes the food arrived with dry toast, (no dairyfree spread), a few undercooked mushrooms and tomato, a small pot of beans and a couple of handmade potato cakes which were nice ..... all topped off with a fried egg!!!! They clearly do not understand that dairy and eggs can be very dangerous for people with allergies. Lovely cafe if you can eat anything otherwise don't bother

Reaching Pennies by foot from the center of town you would approach by Botchergate then turn left , approaching pennies there is a bin just outside the cafe , for off loading your unneeded litter , The cafe is rather on the small side but cozy , the max of space would hold fourteen people , Pennies closes early in the day , @ 3 pm , the decor is straight forward basic the cafe notice board shows a homely working but to me is fine , You get the regular roll call of locals attending there and it shows the social tick over of life with Carlisle people , The food is of a wholesome menu and selection of home cooked meals , snacks , etc and is a normal cost across the board for Carlisle for tummy filling dishes , if asked for you could possibly have made a dish / plate of yum yums that is not even upon the menu board , so for " they who dare ask -- will find " ,One of the back bone dishes upon the menu is the all day Breakfast a typical British signature dish , small ( £ 4.00 )or large ( £ 5.00 ) which holds a comprehensible selection + a small side plate of toast and you can tune up on your likes and dislikes as to what you get put upon your plate , A few choices of type of coffees there but also cold drinks too, From a cup to a mug size and up to a tea pot of tea served , A true down to earth CAFE jaunt for the budget traveler , The sourced food supplies Pennies are from a good local stockist who are Carlisle grown producers , Pennies also caters for the special diet need for food stuff allergies and medication needs too so ask and please say to receive :-) , Their is also a sign post out side the front of the shop for chaining up the bicycles , they have no baby high chairs for use , Upon the Tait street one way traffic flow system is road side parking but please check for sign post regulations and rules of parking at that road side just before to Pennies Cafe of Carlisle Cumbria UK .
