The best restaurants serving British food in Carlisle North West

Visited half a dozen times in the last year. The owners know how to run a village pub/restaurant. Tastefully quirky interior design. Excellent but down to earth wine menu. Top quality cask ales. Dog friendly. Very convivial atmosphere and a range of seasonal events. But top of the shop s the quality of the food. Last night we had the best cheese soufflé ever. Then the tastiest lamb, perfectly cooked. It melted with tenderness and a happy organic rearing. The steak was sublime. We’ve covered many signature dishes in recent months and always come away delighted. Prices are reasonable for the quality delivered. Well done to the whole team. A must visit.

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

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.

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

We had a table of 10 for a 90th birthday party. The staff welcomed us and waited on us hand and foot throughout the whole experience and were friendly and helpful. The chef cooked beautiful food and we were all very happy with our meals. 10/10!

We were looking for somewhere in Brampton where we’d never been before and decided to try Pippa’s. I had the quiche with salad, coleslaw and crisps which was lovely and my daughter had the all day breakfast which she described as epic! It did look wonderful. Pretty tearoom with friendly staff and quick service. We will definitely come again 😊

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.

Another outstanding dinner at The Lounge On The Green. Delicious food and service is second to none. Highly recommended

What a fabulous find. Too good to share really want to keep it to ourselves. Delicious. Staff go the extra mile

Lovely stopping off point after a long walk. First class food- both the evening meal and the breakfast. Lots of little extra touches that made the stay perfect including a place to leave soggy boots to dry off so they were nice and toastie the next morning. Welcoming host who made this solo female walker feel safe and welcome. Highly recommended.

This is the best sandwich shop in Carlisle. Highly recommend it to anyone wanting a tasting baguette.

The service really marred the whole experience. My husband and I were gifted an afternoon tea for our anniversary. When we arrived, we were greeted at the front door by a lady who I can only describe as a 'bouncer' of sorts - she stood in front of us, making it clear we were not to venture any further into the building until we had proven we had a booking... I was also rather strangely escorted to the lavatory, rather then simply given directions ("to your left at the end of the corridor" seems rather easy to remember...). Perhaps I look like the type to get easily lost? I got a glass of fizz as a treat (we were celebrating after all!) but I never did get my pot of tea. I'd have brought it up, but we never saw the staff again. No one checked if everything was OK or if we needed anything else. We had to go looking for someone in order to pay the bill (for the glass of fizz). No one offered to take my coat, although I know other people in the room were awarded that level of service. I shared my husband's pot of tea - my tea cup was cracked and leaked - again, I'd have brought it up if a single member of staff had approached us. And there were plenty of staff about - we could hear them laughing and joking and chatting, outside of the dining room in the corridor. The scones and homemade jam were delicious. There was a bit too much chocolate in the fruit tarts for my liking, making them a little sickly. The pistachio cake was slightly dry. The cheese and pickle sandwiches were a tad disappointing, but the egg ones were very tasty. The dining room itself lacked any atmosphere. Beautiful surrounding area. Close enough to major roads. We love to dine out frequently - anywhere and everywhere! However, we won't be returning here. Nor will we be recommending to anyone else.

Amazing sandwiches, cakes and afternoon tea boxes! Highly recommended!

We parked to the rear to go on a local walk with the hope of a pint afterwards. When we got back the landlord opened early for us (a group of 9) to have a well earned pint, pet the pub dog (Sonny) and play some darts! Really friendly, lovely welcoming atmosphere. Thank you!

Food was lovely, cosy pub with gorgeous big fire. And a lovely pub doggo 🧡
