Walkabout Carlisle is a central matchday base on Botchergate with huge HD screens and listings specifically for live football. The venue carries Sky Sports and TNT Sports, so it shows Premier League, EFL and European fixtures, and it promotes dedicated football pages for checking fixtures. Food is served from lunchtime through the evening, which helps for pre-match meetups or post-match refuelling, and it opens late at weekends, making it a useful spot after the game. Carlisle United’s own away-fan guide states that, in general, travelling supporters can use any pub in the city except two named home-only venues—so Walkabout typically caters to both home and away fans on matchdays.

This was a fantastic pub for lunch, with a very jubilant interior! This is contributed to from the surfboards and other designs, lighting adds to the scene and the counter is well-presented too. I had a yummy beef burger with amazing fries and a refreshing pint of Strongbow, sitting comfortable at large seating for a clean table!

Went for a pint today and got served a warm lifeless Fosters! When I asked them they said coolers were not working! So why serve someone a pint in the 1st place! After asking for a refund a manager appeared and without even acknowledging me or apologising gave me my money back without even muttering a word. Absolutely shocking! Why would anyone go there? horrible place.

I went out with my friends for her Birthday party and booked the bottomless brunch offer( worth it’s value) Really enjoyed the food and service provided from Millie and James. Both of them went above and beyond to look after us. Really enjoyed the DJ and general welcoming atmosphere, I would definitely recommend.

Fantastic spot for the football, staff are all lovely and attentive even when it’s busy (which it often is on the weekends) food is great my personal fave was the Kickin Chicken wrap, great for a light lunch. Would defo recommend, and pints are only £2.50 on the weekdays?!
