The newest addition to the JW family.
Situated in the heart of Carlisle’s historic quarter within the walls of a fine Georgian house alongside one of the country’s largest (and arguably most magical!) independent bookshops, Cakes and Ale is the newest addition to the family here at John Watt & Son.
With an idyllic secret garden, homemade cakes, local ales, a delicious menu (with plenty of vegetarian and vegan options!) and of course our classic brews and blends, we’re proud to be involved with such a warm, independent cafe that has grown to be a firm favourite with many in the city!
Mon – Fri
10:00AM – 4:00PM
