Really good Meals and Warm Welcome
generous portions beautiful presentation prompt seating
I dined at the restaurant. I booked a table in advance and arrived early after a day in Carlisle. I needed a good meal, especially not having to prepare it myself. I found the restaurant busy and lively. I was welcomed and promptly seated at my reserved table. The drinks and food orders were taken quickly. The food was fabulous, the portions generous, and the presentation beautiful.
The barman was rude. I booked for Sunday lunch and the place was very busy. A young girl showed us to the table and took our order. Half our drinks order arrived and the starter came without cutlery.
