Harraby Pub and Kitchen in Carlisle

You know, I had a great time at Harraby Pub and Kitchen the other day, and I reckon it's one of those places that just gets pub life right. The staff are so approachable and quick to sort you out, whether you're booking for a birthday bash or just popping in for a bite. Everyone's raving about the food – it's all those comforting pub favourites done well, like a generous fish and chips or a tasty steak pie with proper gravy, and it's not going to break the bank either. It's brilliant for families or if you've got the dog with you, as they make space for everyone without any fuss. Plus, with the TVs showing the big games and a few games like pool and darts to join in on, it's easy to while away an afternoon. That said, it's not without its little niggles; the toilets are on the snug side, which could be a minor annoyance on a packed evening, and it has that classic pub charm that might feel a bit straightforward if you're in the mood for something more upscale. Overall, though, it's a solid choice for a good night out in Carlisle – honest, affordable, and full of that community spirit that makes you want to come back.
