Khan's at the Waterloo
A69, Aglionby, CarlisleWe have been here before years ago and back then, Waterloo made both the best Vindaloo and also the best naan bread I have ever had (we are big curry lovers).
Years later (as I write this now), we just got back home and I must leave this review just to say that you are still just as amazing as before! Everything from food to service was flawless and we greatly look forward to being back again as soon as we can!
Keep up the amazing work and we wish you continues success!

Abbey Court Guesthouse
22-26 London Rd, CarlisleI’ve stayed here twice now and cannot fault a thing! I’ve stayed in the twin room and also one of the singles and next time I’m booking room 14 now I’ve had a nose around! I think the first thing you notice are how friendly the staff are, every single one of them. Then you realise how clean everywhere is, not a speck of dust on the skirting boards or panelling. The rooms are quite compact, if you are over 6ft, room 4 is not for you, but I’m 5’9”and fitted perfectly. A lot of the rooms face the main road, which is noisy, but then you close the windows and it is perfectly quiet. I slept like a log! There is so much choice for breakfast, which is included in the price. There is also a little courtyard garden you can sit in.
I can’t praise this Guest House enough and I can’t wait until my next visit!

Fontanas
95 London Rd, CarlisleWhenever I’m passing through Carlisle station, I always take the time to visit. Food is always excellent and the service was great on this visit. I was advised there would be a wait while they cooked me a cod, which was fine as it’s definitely better cooked fresh and it wasn’t a long wait anyway. The food did not disappoint, it was all fresh and tasty and for £7.80 for a ‘small’ (it was still a healthy portion) including a side of gravy it’s a very reasonable price. For similar quality and portions down in Yorkshire where I live you’d be talking easily over £10.

McDonald's
56/58 Scotch St, CarlisleIt's McDonald's. It's never going to be perfect. But it's not cheap these days.My biggest complaint is why the burgers never look like the pristine example displayed on the menu boards, instead resembling some sorrowful reject, where most of the lettuce is in the box rather than the burger, the burgers themselves are half in, half out the bun, and most of the other fillings are dumped all on top of each other, on one side, rather then evenly spread out.I mean, it's not that hard is it? Just take a fraction more time, a lot more care and make something to be proud of, rather than churning stuff out as quick as humanly possible.

I waited to be seated, was given a menu, and time to ask questions before deciding on my treat. I have to say with so many sweet and savoury treats on offer it took some deciding.
The cheese scone and skin on fries with Earl Grey tea were the order of the day. Delicious. I will have to return to sample the sweet treats.
The atmosphere and decor were fantastic, and the staff were helpful, friendly, and super efficient. You can pay cash or card, and there's a loyalty card for scones and cakes!!!
This cafe is accessible and I observed a customer in a wheelchair navigating the premises with ease.

David's Restaurant
62 Warwick Rd, CarlisleWe were given a gift voucher for 60th birthday present, so decided to opt for lunch. Food was very nice but we felt that both the pea & sorrel soup (starter) and lamb (main) was over seasoned with salt. Paid extra for fillet steak as it was my birthday treat. The steak was nicely cooked and good, but not exceptional. I thought it disappointing that the carrot & coriander puree was merged into gravy, so was barely even visible. No vegetables are given as an extra, it's literally just what is mentioned on the menu that is served. Anything extra is a side dish and is an extra charge. We enjoyed our lunch, but for us, it's a special occasion venue that we'd probably only visit occasionally. The food was all good, but not great value for money, it's more of a place to indulge yourself for a special treat. We needed to spend an extra £20 on top of the £60 voucher, to cover one glass of house wine each , starter and main (no dessert)....oh and the £7 extra for fillet steak.

Khan's at the Waterloo
A69, Aglionby, CarlisleWe have been here before years ago and back then, Waterloo made both the best Vindaloo and also the best naan bread I have ever had (we are big curry lovers).
Years later (as I write this now), we just got back home and I must leave this review just to say that you are still just as amazing as before! Everything from food to service was flawless and we greatly look forward to being back again as soon as we can!
Keep up the amazing work and we wish you continues success!

I Love Cafe
20-21 St Cuthbert's Ln, CarlisleMy first visit, I've been meaning to go for ages. Located in St Cuthbert's Lane furthest from the city centre, it's inviting from outside and cosy and warm inside. You're welcomed with a very appropriate Northern theme.
I waited to be seated, was given a menu, and time to ask questions before deciding on my treat. I have to say with so many sweet and savoury treats on offer it took some deciding.
The cheese scone and skin on fries with Earl Grey tea were the order of the day. Delicious. I will have to return to sample the sweet treats.
The atmosphere and decor were fantastic, and the staff were helpful, friendly, and super efficient. You can pay cash or card, and there's a loyalty card for scones and cakes!!!
This cafe is accessible and I observed a customer in a wheelchair navigating the premises with ease.
A very busy little cafés so you might need to be prepared to wait at peak times.

Abbey Court Guesthouse
22-26 London Rd, CarlisleI’ve stayed here twice now and cannot fault a thing! I’ve stayed in the twin room and also one of the singles and next time I’m booking room 14 now I’ve had a nose around! I think the first thing you notice are how friendly the staff are, every single one of them. Then you realise how clean everywhere is, not a speck of dust on the skirting boards or panelling. The rooms are quite compact, if you are over 6ft, room 4 is not for you, but I’m 5’9”and fitted perfectly. A lot of the rooms face the main road, which is noisy, but then you close the windows and it is perfectly quiet. I slept like a log! There is so much choice for breakfast, which is included in the price. There is also a little courtyard garden you can sit in.
I can’t praise this Guest House enough and I can’t wait until my next visit!

Two courses and a large gin under 35 pounds great value

Pentonbridge Inn
B6318, Penton, CarlisleOur dinner was close to perfection - all the staff were kind, professional and knowledgable (made us laugh too, at times) and the cooking was absolutely outstanding. After a few disappointing 'top-end' dining experiences lately, our visit restored our belief in the joy that cooking and food at this level can bring. Just brilliant.
