I can remember coming here with some of my Luton Town mates - perhaps in the early 2010s - when this was clearly the best pub in Carlisle. The beautiful tiled front and the well-preserved interior are much as I remember, but in those days it was hard to see the interior features for all the drinkers crowding into it. These days, it's all features and no crowds. When I came in I saw a hand-written pump clip on the bar in the right hand side, but no one serving. So I went into the left hand side, where there was no beer on, just Theakstons Best Bitter and Wainwright turned around. Eventually someone turned up and I had a half of hand-written Robinsons Dizzy Blonde, in reasonable condition but not to my taste, which I drank in the back room while looking around at not just the originally features but some of the interesting or quirky displays on the walls and shelves. A few customers had sat in the small yard at the back, but otherwise it remained pretty quiet while I was here. I hope it's busier at the weekend - to be fair, this was a Monday afternoon.

An old state managed pub with a lovely exterior, and the multi roomed layout inside is nice too. Certainly has been modernised but it still feels like a traditional pub in style and the piano in the bar is a nice touch. Shame about the ale selection, standard nationals only (Theakstons, Wainwrights etc…), but I suppose we can blame the pubco for that.
