Classic British cooking in a Grade II-listed Georgian building in the centre of Carlisle.

About The Old Bank

The Old Bank City Pub and Chop House is housed in a Georgian Grade II-listed building in Carlisle city centre. The décor adds a modern twist to this fine old bank building which is open all day Wednesday to Sunday for coffee, brunch and lunch and in the evenings Thursday to Saturday for a dinner menu aimed squarely at meat lovers, although there are vegetarian options. Award-winning Chef patron Matt Rayson’s menus focus on modern British pub classics featuring signature starters like Black Pudding Scotch Egg with Sneck Lifter Ale & Apple Chutney, Bramley Apple Puree, Pickled Apple and a HP Dressing and mains such as Slow Cooked Beef Brisket with Carrots, Onion Puree, Crispy Onions, Sage and Onion Dumpling and a Treacle and Beef Gravy. There’s plenty of choice and dishes change monthly. The Old Bank has a separate raised area that can seat small parties of up to 17 people and runs regular events such as gin tastings and live music nights.

Nice vibe to the place. Absolutely loved the food. Didn’t have any pie but the burger was fab. The coq au vin also looked good. Great puddings too. Sponge and custard on another level. Service is exceptional. Hopefully back soon.

Lovey food, great Sausage and Mash. Only downside was that the whole place was not warm and could have done with the heating being on.

Excellent Sunday lunch, Between our group we enjoyed a variety of different dishes from the Sunday lunch menu and kids had enjoyed what was on offer for them. Very Tasty food plenty of it and the additional vegetable dishes tasted fab. We were full after our mains but decided to squeeze in a desert. We all thoroughly enjoyed the deserts, great place, Tasty food and good choice of drink, that's not too pricey looking forward to going on a different day to sample some of the other offerings
