About
The Old Bank is a historic gastropub situated in the heart of Carlisle’s historic quarter, housed in a Grade 2-listed building at 34 Fisher Street. The menu marries classic British pub staples with innovative twists – from the beloved Sunday roast served daily to autumn specials such as cheese burgers, chicken tikka mac‑and‑cheese, and a hot cookie‑dough dessert, all prepared with local ingredients. Friday evenings feature a grill night with premium meats from Kirkups Butchers, while the festive season showcases special Christmas and New Year’s Eve menus. The venue’s warm, rustic interior and friendly service make it a popular spot for locals and visitors alike.
