Really nice food and excellent value, would definately go again
Had the most beautiful meal and the service was exceptional.
Good food, accommodating for my partner’s nut allergy, good service. Would highly recommend!
Do not like like loud music playing in eating establishments. Spoils the ambience when enjoying a meal as good as that served in the Bank. Sat eating whilst wearing ear plugs, which took the edge off our visit
Music too loud to have a comfortable conversation across the table so we asked to be moved which was not a problem.
Had been wanting to go back since the Aug/Sept menu became available so I could try the chicken skin Crisps so was very disappointed to find that they'd ran out. However, I shared his Crackling (which we got free of charge because the chef thought it were overcooked) and it were amazing. Starters were also fantastic. He had pork cheeks, I had risotto, both were very good sized portions and tasted out of this world. He had chicken Kiev for main which he said was also fantastic, I had gnocchi which was nice but had quite a dry consistency overall making it quite heavy. His pudding was again fantastic (crumble) but he couldn't eat it all after everything else. My biscoff cheesecake wasn't so good - made him try it to check it wasn't just me but he didn't like it either....I ate the base. They also gave us 2 free drinks because somehow (no idea how) they knew that we'd just got married. We'll definitely be back....I need to try those chicken skin crisps.
The Old Bank is an excellent place with a great atmosphere and stunning food
Some of the food had been overcooked or left under the heating lights and was very dry. Staff were told and they said they would "pass it on". Nothing else was said.
Excellent food, great service. You won’t get a better Sunday Lunch!!
Disappointed our first choice of starter was not available and the lamb for the main was slightly over cooked.
Ok.i had looked at menu on line during week and really fancied the ham, not available when we got there. Disappointed.
Lovely staff and atmosphere. Maybe had expectations a little higher after reviews and photos but was still lovely and great price in the early bird window.
Really brilliant value, super delicious food and very friendly staff!
Excellent food and service although it was very warm in the restaurant as there was no air conditioning
Good vibe great service and food well recommended good value
Food was well presented and delicious, the items on the menu really stand out from other restaurants in the town. Great visit!
Very good food, quick service and a lovely atmosphere, perfect for brunch
Excellent food and service.Harry looked after us all evening.A totally charming and efficient host.A very pleasant visit start to finish.
Early evening menu was fantastic value. Food was amazing and the service was excellent
Sunday lunch - stunning roast beef with a range of veg cooked to perfection. Will definitely be back
Lovely food piping hot. Very attentive staff and comfy surroundings
Enjoyed our lunch visit could have done with air conditioning
Great food on the early piggy menu. Can’t beat it in town. Hope Harry’s living it up in Kos!
We had a lovely 3 course meal, the food was fantastic and great service. 🙂
Great food, good ambience, fantastic service & real value for money. Harry our waiter was very attentive & had great knowledge about the food on offer, answering any questions we had with no hesitation. 2 course fathers day set menu, bottle of wine & beers just over a £100 for four people 😀👍🏻
Enjoyed the whole experience. Will definitely visit again and recommend to others.
Disappointed we had to have Fathers Day menu. Cocktail was definitely not the best. Staff was very friendly.
Fabulous food, our party of four enjoyed every course. Service was excellent too, smiling, helpful staff. Highly recommend a visit
Tasty food & great service. Faultless. Would definitely go back.
Fabulous food and service. Harry was so attentive. Great value for money.
Will not be returning. Arrived at 1pm to find no brunch was being served despite website offering brunch until 3pm. Very disappointing
lovely food great service great price we will be back
Food was lovely will go again, service was good too
Lovely surroundings main course nice desert could have been better but will return
My husband and I had an beautiful meal , I’m Coeliac and Vegetarian so it’s hard to get somewhere to eat, but they accommodated for me perfectly, the portions were huge , staff very friendly and we were made to feel very welcome, highly recommend and will be back
First visit, loved the decor etc. Food really good. One tiny dislike..husband found too much gravy over his dish, pie was swimming in it. Better to serve gravy separately in jug. Pleasant, friendly waiter.
Lovely food, bit of a mix up over the menus that were on offer but soon sorted and great service.
Great food and service could no fault anything defo the best Sunday lunch in Carlisle to date
Food was fantastic as usual. Would be a good idea if they told you about things that aren't available when they give you the menus rather than waiting until you're ordering.
Had a lovely meal with great service. This was our 4th visit and each time we’ve had great food.
