The Golden Fleece Inn - Carlisle

After a day walking Hadrians Wall we were recommended the Golden Fleece. We stayed at Orchard House and the proprietor took us there and dropped us off after our meal too. Food brilliant and the staff were so smart in their tweed waistcoats. Lovely quiet meal and thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Would certainly return in the future.

Only criticism i have, we waited a while for starts. But the food was very good and the service was also very good. The restaurant it self is very well maintained . I will be back and will recommend this to all my friends.

The meal service was excellent, we were a party of 4 which included one child, everything was very good. Made to feel welcome and relaxed atmosphere. Staff very friendly and helpful.

Excellent service but some of the tables are a bit dark. Sunday sprouts were like bullets! Jus with the bland turkey was sweet why not gravy? Not great for vegetarians, not enough veg options and most mains come with sweet potato mash or fries. Canapes and starters were excellent but we were too full for deserts. They don't do espresso coffee. Been before and it was better. Maybe a Christmas blip as they were busy.

Never been before and next time I'm in the area I will visit this place again. Had the most amazing steak ever. And was informed it was cooked by a 23 year old chief. If he could cook a steak like that then what's the rest of the menu like. Having good food like that finished our holiday a treat. Loved the starters was also amazing. Can't wait till next time.
