This is an old pub in the largely pedestrian centre of Carlisle. It's fairly small and open plan with wooden floors and the bar set in the middle. There are areas with seating and tables either side of this. On a Saturday lunchtime it was packed.
It was difficult seeing what was on the five hand pumps but there were two Yates beers, a Theakston's bitter, a cider and Fuller's Firecracker. I had failed to spot the name George Gale on the pump clip so it was only when I returned to London I discovered it had come all the way from Chiswick. I didn't note the price but it was over three quid.
I thought this was a decent enough pub but would probably have enjoyed it more if a seat had been available.

My favourite pub in Carlisle. In a side street off the market square makes it popular with shoppers grabbing a bite to eat on an early afternoon.
The Yates bitter is always in superb condition, and there are 3 other guest beers, yesterdays choice was Dark Star Pale, Dark Star Seville and Merry Monkey (an african seasonal beer).
The staff and the landlord are always friendly and efficient. Just a stride away from William Hills, but no sky tv, just background music.

Just a quick pint, then I'm off left this review about Kings Head
Nice old pub in the city centre, with very traditional furniture and decor. Several small seating areas, with the rear one located up a couple of steps. Three of four handpumps in service, offering the fine local Yates Bitter (£2.65) plus beers from Mordue and Loddon. Justifiably busy on a Saturday night, but with a pleasantly convivial atmosphere unlike many other hostelries around Carlisle.
