Beefeater Border Gate

We stopped for lunch about 2.30pm, had 2 two course meals and two drinks for less than £30.00 which considering my main was a rump steak, I thought was excellent value for money. That and the fact the steak was cooked exactly how I like it, medium rare, means next time we're back in the area we'll definitely be paying a visit.

I had the pleasure of utilising Border Gate in Carlisle for training purposes, and I must say their service was exceptional. The staff were incredibly friendly, accommodating, and attentive to every detail, making the overall experience smooth and enjoyable. The function room was spacious and well-equipped, providing an excellent environment for training sessions. I highly recommend Border Gate for their welcoming atmosphere and top-notch service.

Good food albeit a little inconsistent for a franchise. I had the same meal for 3 nights in a row which came out either with or without one or two things each time. That aside the food is still tasty and a somewhat fair price within the meal deal though a majority of my favourites carry an additional charge on top of the £26 deal. Breakfast is unlimited and arguably the best part of the deal. Often busy at peak times with somewhat long wait times. The staff are friendly and helpful. The furnishings however, seem either dated or out of place in some parts.

We visited here on a very long journey back, we was glad of the stop. Food was nice and cooked well, compliments to the chef. To the gent who asked how was our meal, we appreciated that and to aimee our waitress thank you for a great service. Overall we had a great visit. If we are ever back in Carlisle we will be sure to visit again

Popped in to try the Unlimited Breakfast for a nice treat. We were not disappointed. Self service full English and Continental...what more could you want? Food was hot and fresh. A great choice of teas and coffee, with juice too. Plenty of room in the restaurant. Well worth the £9.99 each for a great start to the day. Staff were great and kept everything stocked up.

Beefeater is always a firm favourite, so after travelling all the way up from London on our way home, I thought to stop past for some dinner since they are located just off the motorway. After booking online we arrived about ten minutes early but the manager didn't mind and showed us to our table, one thing is the staff at this Beefeater are really friendly and willing to help out with anything. We ordered the garlic flatbread to start and then two house stack burgers and two sirloin steaks. The flatbread came out within 15minutes and was soon demolished after driving up an appetite. It took around half an hour for our mains to come out and when they did the french fries were warm and the burgers/steaks tasted dry as if they were lying around for a while. Luckily after telling the waitress, she took us out fresh chips but since we had more driving to do, we just ate our mains despite them being a little warm. Other than that our visit to the Border Gate Beefeater was great, really clean restaurant, staff lovely and the food is normally really good. Don't let this put you off though as they are a really good restaurant chain.
