The best restaurants serving British food in Wetheral Carlisle North West

Staying at local caravan and motorhome site. Thought we’d support local charity Oak Tree Animals’ Charity. Had delicious generous sized homemade cheese scone, raspberry scone and coffees served by friendly staff in a pleasant clean welcoming environment. Bonus dog walk opposite site with dog activity ares and amazing views.

Just absolutely perfect!! From the lovely welcome, the friendly service, brilliant atmosphere, all homemade cakes which is very rare these days, great tea, and the loveliest Christmas cake served with cheese if you wanted it (yes I did) which I tucked into while reading my slimming magazine!! You have something very special ladies. Also while your visiting the cafe you should tie in an Indian Head Massage with Zoe above The Posting Pot at Enliven Therapies.

❌ Not LGBQTIA+ FRIENDLY I'd like to give The Wheatsheaf the benefit of the doubt and believe I'd caught it on an off day but, being the second time I've been in and had the same experience from staff and punters alike, the conclusion I arrive at is that this is neither an LGBQTIA+ or Disability friendly establishment. A pub, I reckon, is the center of a community, a place of hospitality for the "public" which means anyone and everyone irrespective of class, age, gender, sexuality, ethnicity, and disability. If you're reading this review and thinking "just the opinions of an incomer", I'd just like to underscore that I am Cumbrian, born, bred and raised. And Whilst this may not be the village I grew up in, or the city I lived in for another 8 years, it is where my family and friends live. Whilst it upset me to be treated with hostility and derision in my home county, it upsets me more to think that others visiting and passing through could experience that kind of prejudice and frostiness I did at The Wheatsheaf. Do better Cumbria.

I’m not normally a one to complain but as I rarely get out and it was my birthday I felt I had to say something. My husband and I arranged to go to Fantails to celebrate with great food and atmosphere as we have been previously and have never been disappointed. However on this occasion we felt rushed through. I’ve never in my life been so rushed to have a 3 course meal. We initially thought the service was quick as we were offered drinks immediately and the menu. We were given a few minutes to decide. We ordered both a starter and our main meals and started to enjoy the evening. My husband’s starter arrived very quickly, within a few minutes in fact. Once he had finished his last mouth full. The staff came over taking his plates away, even though he still had bread left to eat! Which he had to eat without his bread plate! We thought maybe the waitress didn’t realise. The main meal came literally a few minutes later. No break at all. The main was lovely and took us a while to get through. It was then like a 100m sprint race …. The waitress was over within seconds to clear our plates as my husband put his cutlery down. It was as though they were watching us on camera! We were asked the question straight away ‘would you like to see the dessert menu?’ We looked at each other thinking goodness we would like our mains to go down 10 minutes at least before we even looked at a dessert menu! Any ways as we felt uncomfortable with the atmosphere at this point. We ordered our desserts and they arrived around 2 minutes after ordering so this was about 5 minutes after our last mouthful of our main meal. At this point we were annoyed. But to top it off. My husband hadn’t even finished his dessert (put his last mouthful in and chewing) the waitress came over and said are you finished? My husband with his mouth still full said ‘well just about’ while the bowls were whisked away. The whole meal was squished into an hour if that. My rare evening out was ruined. If we’d known going at 5:30pm on a Sunday was going to be a rush we’d have gone somewhere else, and quite frankly enjoyed our meal at our own pace. I have had many good meals here in the past. But I doubt very much I’d be back because of this evening.

I enjoyed an excellent business stay here last night. A great welcome with friendly staff, good selection of beers and nice rooms. The place has a nice welcoming vibe.

Was spending the w/e in Cumwhinton at a dog agility competition and needed to refill on vittles. Saw this fantastic pub from the main road so wandered down. Opens (Sat) at 5pm, check website for other opening times. Great menu and specials board, all reasonably priced. My partner chose the fish pie, with root mash, veg and sml crusty baguette and I plumped for the steak and ale pie. Both were beyond delicious. 2 drinks and 2 mains, £35 Would definitely visit again and would not hesitate in recommending. Has a small car park, and beer garden.
