The Posting Pot - Carlisle

I absolutely adore this cozy café! Whether you're meeting friends for breakfast or grabbing lunch with your mom, you can't go wrong here. The breakfasts are delectable, made with high-quality ingredients, and the main menu offers plenty of options to choose from. The specials are always delicious too. Liz and her fantastic team take great care of you, and the atmosphere is always warm and inviting. It's a truly marvelous dining experience!

My wife and I are on vacation at the Lake District, staying at the Crown Hotel in Wetheral. Shortly after we arrived, we received a lunch recommendation for the nearby Posting Pot, which is a combination cafe, restaurant, general store, and Post Office. We were warmly greeted by a friendly lady (Elaine or Liz?) who provided us with directions for a walk along the River Eden. We enjoyed the Soup of the Day (Broccoli) served with croutons and delicious granary bread. It was so tasty that we returned to the Posting Pot after our walk for Tea for Two and a generous slice of homemade local fruit cake. I have a feeling we will be returning to the Posting Pot again soon!

Fantastic cafe. I visit often with my cocker spaniel Skye. The staff is extremely friendly, and the coffee and food are excellent. I highly recommend it.

Excellent dog friendly cafe. Liz and staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My cocker spaniel loves this cafe as she gets treats. Highly recommend.

Perfect breckie, lovely wee place, great service. Excellent Post Office and shop too. Avoid those M6 service stations and support local businesses like this. 10 mins off junction.
