About This Pub

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.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and make you feel right at home with their warm welcomes and helpful service.
  • The food is spot on – think hearty pub classics like fish and chips or steak and ale pie, all served hot and at reasonable prices.
  • It's super family-friendly and dog-friendly, making it a great spot for a relaxed meal with the kids or your furry friend in tow.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of drinks, from beers and wines to cocktails and even low or no-alcohol options, plus plenty of screens for watching the footy.
  • The atmosphere is just right for a casual catch-up, with things like pool tables, darts, and occasional live music to keep things lively.
Cons
  • The toilets are a tad small, which might feel a bit cramped if it's busy.
  • It can get quite traditional in vibe, so if you're after something more modern or fancy, it might not quite hit the mark.

Went in tonight to celebrate my sons 30th birthday. I'd phoned and booked it the other night. When we arrived, they had put banners and balloons up for him as well. We shared 3 plates between the 4 of us for starters followed by fish and chips for me (2 pieces of fish) 1/2 chicken for my partner, chicken donner burger for the birthday boy and macaroni cheese for his g/f. 2 deserts were ordered and then they came out with the birthday cake I'd brought in. Plenty to eat, plenty to drink, food and atmosphere great but the staff were excellent. Great banter and nothing was too much trouble. Really good value for money. Will return. Thank you Sarah and all the staff tonight, we had a great night.

Lovely first visit for a evening meal for a family of four. We were warmly greeted when we entered the bar and staff were friendly and helpful. Our drinks were served quickly and our food was delicious. Atmosphere was relaxed and pleasant. Desserts were also very tasty and well presented. Would certainly return. A lovely meal.

Really friendly and helpful staff and good service, and I had a great meal. I had the steak & ale pie tonight, and it was great, and the gravy was really good too - and I'm a bit fussy about gravy, so that is high praise from me. I've stopped here for a meal and a rest on my way to Scotland. I will definitely be back if I'm in the area again. 👍🏻
