Spider & Fly

October 2022: This place is on Scotland Road on the way north from Central Carlisle just over Eden Bridge, if you know your way around Stanwix then you can find your way into the car park directly opposite, then you cross the busy road, other than that I wouldn't know where to park, I called in here on the way home to avoid a late cooking session. The place has a certain style, contemporary?, Chic? I'm not sure what you would call it, I took some pictures so see for yourself. Anyway the cleanliness and the service was good, the food really good but I'm not sold on the atmosphere, it just didn't have a cosy feel. I believe after saying all that I would go there again, it was certainly much better than my experience in the pub a few doors down, don't go there whatever you do.

Heavenly Chicken Burger (+blue cheese n chorico)! Thank you very much. This was my first ever chicken burger and it was out of this planet! Very delicious! My partner had a flat iron steak, which I though it was going to be a flat cheap fillet steak but it was perfectly cooked (rare) and he thouroughly enjoyed it! The staff was pleasant. The only improvements I'd like to see is more exciting soft drink menu (I was only offered lemonade/coke - which was not even on the menu) I would hope to have a glass of nice independent lemonades, fresh juice cocktails or at least smth like saintpelegrino... Also, the fries... I think you could do better. Do your own skin on fries or smth like that. The smokey buffalo fries werew literally mc fries with tobasco drizzle... Overall, lovely experience. Definitely will be back to try out your nachos and chicken wings! Thanks!

Visited here last Saturday for a late lunch and drinks with a couple of friends. We were in the dining room/area at the back which was lovely with a relaxed atmosphere. Service was fantastic, so friendly and helpful. The food was delicious and the prosseco went down a bit too easy 🥂😂 Thank you, hopefully we'll be back very soon! 😊

We booked online but unfortunately our booking didn't go through on their end but they still accommodated us, myself, my husband and 1yo daughter. They gave us a table near the bar with room to store the pram and gave us a booster seat for my child. The atmosphere was nice, it was 3pm so it wasn't too busy. They made sure we felt welcome and got our drinks poured in good time. The food was fantastic. It's a limited menu but with great choice. I had a flat iron steak with dirty fries and it was bloody good! Even my daughter ate some of the starters we ordered and the food was quality! I would highly recommend this place and we will definitely go again.
