3 Best Steak Restaurants in Carlisle, UK

We went to The Old Bank for a Sunday Roast, and it was epic! The portions were huge, the meat cooked to perfection and came with all the trimmings. The staff and service were just incredible - all were super friendly, attentive, and really lovely. They allow dogs too, and made a proper fuss of our 2 Frenchies, so we all felt very well looked after. We also had the madras kiev and lasagne bites starters, which were amazing, and also very generous portions. Highly recommend this great restaurant to anyone in the area. We will definitely be back the next time we're in Carlisle.

Really enjoyed my visit here with Harris, my 3-year old Cocker Spaniel. Couldn’t quite believe it was dog-friendly when I popped my head in, but boy was it! Great, friendly and engaging staff. Service was top-notch and food was good too. I had a flatbread with chicken and mango chutney and it was delicious! I could easily have eaten just this, but had ordered a portion of fries too. Luckily, Harris helped me pit with a few fries! Eclectic decor which makes you smile! Would definitely return.

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.

We had such a fantastic experience here. The atmosphere was great and the décor was lovely. Service was prompt – our drinks arrived very quickly (my cocktail was amazing!). The filet steak was cooked to perfection, and I’ve genuinely been dreaming about the mashed potatoes ever since. There’s an excellent selection of cocktails, and the wine we had was delicious. The staff couldn’t do enough for us – even though it was busy, they were always nearby to take drinks orders. Highly recommend!

We dined midweek and early so atmosphere was a flat but everything else was very good. Two small plates, scallops and the pork cheeks and a lovely chicken main dish. Service was good and a decent wine list.

The best Sunday dinner I’ve ever had. If you get the chance I definitely recommend it. I don’t live locally just found it while travelling home. What a nice surprise.
