The best restaurants serving British food in Castle Carlisle North West

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

We managed to return after quite a few months, was not disappointed, David is outstanding, genuinely caring and professional with a huge amount of experience and knowledge. We’ve tried the other usual suspects around the area but nothing hits the spot like David’s Restaurant. They all seem to have a bizarre attempt at modern fusion cuisine which is just getting to confused to enjoy to be honest, David’s is simply proper cooking at its best! I am a chef so appreciate real homemade food, and this is absolutely what it is. High end restaurant food made from scratch in house. Can’t believe we’ve left it so long since going, clearly our favourite by far, and this is from a well travelled chef with his own food business, 100% my favourite spot in the city, should easily have a rosette or two! Looking forward to our next visit, alone leave it as long for sure!!!

Staff are friendly and kind. We always get served with smile. Food is excellent it gives a home made favour and it's very tasty

Our favourite place to go for a delicious meal, we both had sweet chilli beef with rice chips and side of onion rings absolutely delicious, I had to take the rest home and we ordered 2 desserts for back at home . Anyone looking for somewhere that’s family friendly dog friendly,looking for some good food I highly recommend here

We’re regulars in the pub, we thought that we would check out the new menu! We didn’t wait long for food, was delicious. We overheard that the pub was going through some chef changes this didn’t affect our food it was the best soufflé I’ve had in a while!! Would highly recommend, lovely staff members!

Nice to find this place open at 9.00 on a cold Monday morning before a visit to the cathedral opposite. Sat in the window it’s a fine view. Very friendly service in traditional cafe style and an excellent small English breakfast

We’ve just returned from an incredible evening at the March Bank hotel. I booked a table for a family of five - including 2 fussy teenagers! Every plate went back clean. The service, the food and the whole experience were amazing. Seriously cannot fault it. Located in a beautifully decorated house, with great original art works it was a truly great meal hosted by a lovely family. Can’t wait to come back.

Great choice especially for special dietary requirements. Well-cooked, tasty food served with a smile. We will be back!

Closing down soon. Unfortunately another country pub will close down on 30th June 2024. Staff were good and doing their best in the circumstances.

Just fancied a roast lunch and as Toby was closed for refurbishment we ended up in here. A great choice. The food was excellent , hot, ample and tasty. Couldn’t fault the service either. We will return especially for the roast beef and the steak pie. Recommended for a traditional meal .

The place is lovely and the staff nice The food was underwhelming. My chicken breast main - was a dry tough unseasoned chicken breast with a handful of watercress (no parmesan or béarnaise sauce as on the menu) and one mushroom, chips ok - really poor

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.

Do not recommend. Me and my partner got a crab and prawn baguette and safe to say it was disgusting. The woman told us it was “fresh crab and fresh prawns” it was not it was seafood sticks blended with prawns. Asked for salad and got a tiny amount. Soft bendy baguette. Asked aswell if it was margarine or actual butter (we’re both chefs we can tell!!) and got told “no it’s butter” but it was, in fact, margarine. We scraped out the entire filling and ate just bread on the way home not even finishing it. £4.00 is ridiculous for a baguette that is just purely vile. Shame it’s been taken over by people who lie and clearly don’t care about their customers or food. Oh and all the staff were stood about on their phones🙄!!

Food was good and would of been a 5star but let down with missing things from order gravy was missing asked for it separate but didn't come and left of the stuffing I asked for extra ordered Sunday 7th

Stayed overnight with a motorhome, flat parking. Nice to have a meal and a couple of drinks, nice meal well priced, ladies who served us were lovely. Nice stopover, you can hear the M6 but we would return.
