Thin White Duke in Carlisle

Ah, Thin White Duke in Carlisle is one of those places that just hits the spot for a proper pub experience – I've heard from mates and seen in the reviews that it's a gem for anyone wanting a mix of great grub and drinks without breaking the bank. The food really stands out; they're serving up fresh, handmade dishes with local ingredients, and from what folks are saying, their burgers and gluten-free options are winners that leave you wanting more. The staff are an absolute delight, always on hand to make sure you're looked after, whether you're there with the family or just for a cheeky cocktail. It's got that cosy, romantic feel that makes it ideal for a date night or catching up with friends, and with drinks flowing from midday till late, it's easy to settle in for the evening. On the flip side, it can get a tad overwhelming when it's packed, with the noise making it hard to hear yourself think if you're just in for a quiet bite. Still, overall, it's a fantastic little haunt that I'd recommend giving a go – just pick a quieter time if you fancy a more relaxed vibe, and you'll likely have a brilliant time.
