The Old Bank

Food was excellent as was the atmosphere in the restaurant. Although it was busy service was relatively quick and our food came within 20 mins. The only issue was when we ordered our food, our waitress seemed uninterested and gave one word answers when we asked about certain dishes on the menu. Apart from that I would have given 5 stars..

Excellent food as always. Friendly staff , great atmosphere. Cajun crusted chicken breast, stuffed with pepperoni red pesto, cheddar cheese sauce. Coated in cajun breadcrumbs, veg and arrabiata sauce . Double cooked chips.

I spent some time trying to find a cute little restaurant in Carlisle ... and what a little gem did I stumble upon. This place is stunning. The interior design is a dream ... I could spend hours upon hours happily admiring everything. The cocktails were beautiful and delicious. The food .... Lord help me! My taste buds were in heaven. We had the cod with bubble and squeak and pea veloute and the venison. Honestly, who's the chef ? I need to marry him or her. I'm in a food coma now. Someone needs to relocate this little gem of a restaurant to Newcastle so I can just pop in every day. Also, the staff ❤️❤️❤️❤️ so friendly and welcoming. This visit has been the highlight of my week.

Amazing food....amazing. The flavours and presentation is fantastic. The service was good but a bit more personality wouldn't have gone a miss. The decor was beautiful with a relaxing atmosphere. We had virgin cocktails and the lilted tilted was gorgeous. We will definitely be back.

I love this place! The food was absolutely spectacular. We went for Sunday dinner which is 2 courses of 3 choices. You can do starter and main or main and dessert. We were traveling through but for any who are visiting in the future, if you go for Sunday dinner (which I highly recommend) and are traveling with another person I suggest one of you get the starter and the other dessert and then split those between you. The starter portion would have been considered a main meal portion in other restaurants. Plus the dinner was massive with two veggies on the side. My husband commented “I am finally served a meal with enough gravy” and good god the gravy was delicious. He got the beef, I the chicken, and our daughter the fish and chips. The decor was fun and quirky. Every time I thought I had seen every detail then I noticed something new. This is a must stop restaurant.
