This was a nice pub to visit with my family on a day out in Carlisle, positioned closely to the station so we did not have to leave too long before our scheduled journey. I ordered 3 family drinks at the bar, though one of us had to change their choice because the drink was out of stock sadly. My double absolute vodka with a Pepsi mixer was brilliant however, like the seating afront a curtain and the marvellous cylinder lights overhead! I went on to have a Chicken Jalfrezi curry deal for tea that is truly the full package, featuring two poppadoms, rice, naan bread and a sauce! A great Pepsi Max Cherry drink accompanied my meal and the service was quite good, delivered to my table where cleanliness was proper like the rest of the pub and the floor has an interesting pattern.

3rd time I have tried this place, and 2nd time terrible! I asked for advice on getting a simple steak and vegetables. The steak came with chips and egg!!!! (No veg as promised!) I replied it was not mine (the waitress had made a mistake). I was told I would have to pay an extra £1.25. I was then charged an extra £1.35 (from original price of £9.25 to finally £10.60). Next, it came back to me with chips and egg and a "little" veg. I then had to explain again that I just wanted steak and veg, now having to give an extra section of info that I am egg-allergic. So, it had to go back again!!!! Now: I was told it would have mushrooms ( I got ONE) I was told tomatoes (I got half of one). I was told it included carrots. I got zero. I told them I wanted veg instead of chips. I got a little veg and a lot of chips! Sorry, guys, I am NOT a satsified customer at all.

A perfect location for a catch-up with friends and for football fans to enjoy the match on the big screen. We had a simple and reasonably priced meal, which included unlimited hot drink refills. We also indulged with a small amount of reasonably priced alcohol too. There was a good choice of background music, which was not overpowering. The staff were all friendly and helpful, and the premises were clean with the toilets kept in a reasonable condition. I would definitely use the William Rufus as a location for a catchup or get-together again. As a word of caution, this location is definitely part of the popular weekend night-time economy, so do be mindful if you're thinking of a quiet Friday or Saturday evening/night.

This is a well set out and warm place. It's a very pleasant atmosphere in here and staff are very helpful and polite. I ordered my food and drink on the app,which was the 6oz Burger & Chips and an extra burger on it for an extra £1.25 with a pint of Fosters...only £7.00 It was well tasty😋😋 and I was well chuffed at the time from i ordered it til it came .👌 Food was tasty and very warm,just what you need on a winter's day and waiting for my train in here the time flew by. Definitely be using this place again. 🍽🍔🍺 #gr8valueformoney

We had the misfortune of calling in for lunch at this branch of Wetherspoons and waited over an hour for our food to arrive. I asked a member of staff who brought our drinks to the table if there were any cleaners available to clean food up off the floor as he nearly stepped into it and said no they’ve gone home. It was finally cleaned up when our second round of drinks were served by another staff member. Tables were even being cleared by customers wanting to sit down at tables to order food - total shambles
