The Black Lion - Carlisle

Cosy atmosphere, very kind and friendly staff, very nice meal. My colleague arrived later than expected due to unforeseen commitments at work and the chef made his meal even if the kitchen was supposed to close by that time. Thanks

Our family had a wonderful meal here last week and it was so good we have just booked to go again. I had the steak and ale pie which was fabulous and am looking forward to trying the fish pie, which looked yummy. Nice cosy...atmosphere and great service too. It's just reopened post lockdown under new management and definitely worth a try.

We had the Sunday roast beef which was chewy and we left most of it. No mashed potatoes, a very small dish of vegetables between three of us, a drizzle of gravy and a solid Yorkshire pudding. It wasn’t cheap either. Very disappointed we will...not be back.

Omg well impressed, but sadly soooo quiet for a Friday lunchtime, I visited with my daughter just passing on way into Carlisle train station, and there was only another couple in, the fire is amazing and cozy, exceptionally clean, very attentive staff, thinking a new...waitress, getting put through her paces! ?! We ordered a glass of wine each, didnt think had time for starters so only had mains, which were ample/ generous portions. We ordered steak ale pie this came with chips veg (shredded cabbage, baby carrots& Brussels, lightly tossed in butter) and a gravy boat of delish gravy, I ordered fish pie OMG delish and the veg that came with it was amazing, definitely my cup of tea, baby carrots baby Brussels and Samphire, coated very lightly in butter, I’d really recommend to come try. Just to add daughter loved veg too! fresh an delish… just a last comment other Couple demolished steak meal and steak ale pie

Popped in for lunch. Had steak pie. Perfectly cooked veg and crisp pie top. Well presented in modern surroundings. Excellent
