The best restaurants serving British food in Carlisle North West

Fantastic food and wonderful staff. Came in today with my family and ordered chicken and chips for 3 of us and cheese and onion patty and I can't believe how much you got and how tasty it was. Staff super friendly and attentive and just a great chippy

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

Excellent evening. Friendly staff. Excellent food.

Chef Jay and chef Craig made the best food ever would 1000% come back would highly recommend to come here for food, the staff were really friendly and welcoming

Such a shame, such an attractive setting, lovely building, nice style and comfortable. We visited on New Years Day, it was very quiet with only a few tables, the food was very average, the Beef Sandwhich was filled with chewy chunks of overcooked beef and we had a very basic Risotto. The service lacked any attentiveness or care - we had to look over to get attention to order drinks or ask to get our plates cleared and get the bill. The staff had absolutely no interest in us, didn’t ask how anything was and just generally made the whole atmosphere flat. Such below average food considering the price and poor service and just generally underwhelming despite such a lovely premises. Considering how quiet it was we expected to have been welcomed a bit more and had a much nicer experience. Perhaps we got there on an off day!

We thoroughly enjoyed a French evening with a French wine flight. It was one of the nicest wine flights we have ever had. The food was delicious. Robert the sommelier was engaging and amusing. We weren't sure what to expect but it was a thoroughly enjoyable evening. All guests were on one long table which was a refreshing change.

Cracking pub. Beer garden is great.

This is an absolute gem. We had drinks on the Saturday , saw the food orders coming out and immediately booked Sunday lunch. It was very good indeed. We also ordered a take out all day hotdog which is the chefs homemade speciality , yes he makes his own sausage! That was fab too. If we’d been staying in the area longer we would definitely come back. The menu was so enticing! Top notch 10/10 Rare to find. Thank you

What a lovely place to go for Sunday lunch. First time I have been as I live in Manchester (friends in Carlisle). A very pleasant welcome from the staff, so nice and friendly. Lunch was perfect. Would recommend to anyone. I will be back there next time I’m here. Thank you.

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!!

I loved the atmosphere of this cosy cafe with jazz music playingin the background and art on the walls to browse. Food hot and appetising and very competitively priced. The medium latte was amply large and again lovely and hot. Would happily visit again to try something else on the menu. Good choice of vegetarian food such as mushroom and emmentaal panini or toastie rather than just the ubiquitous cheese and tomato sandwich. Also offers small soup with a sandwich on the side.

Found this gem on Booking.com whilst looking for a stop over during a work trip. Loved it, really nice! Food was great, room was warm and comfortable, staff friendly and breakfast was brilliant!! Will stay again without a doubt!

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.

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.

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.
