The Boardroom, Carlisle

Very dated pub by the cathedral, though fairly friendly and cosy with the wood panelling and stained glass. Flashing Christmas lights throughout the pub and the constant noise from the fruit machines mean it isn’t the best for a peaceful pint, even on a quiet weekday. Two ales, Wainwrights and surprisingly a Fullers Jack Frost (in okay-to-mediocre condition). I wouldn’t say no to another pint here but there must be better in Carlisle.
