A STAMP OF HISTORY
Why Penny Blue? Our bar & restaurant is within Carlisle’s historic old post office building with many original features, so what better name than after the rare stamp. Exclusive to Carlisle, we also serve Penny Blue Rum.
PLANNING AN EVENT?
Our private event area is available for all occasions. Call 01228 210241 for more details.
AFTERNOON TEA
Afternoon tea, a great British tradition that we think shouldn’t just be saved for special occasions. Served in Penny Blue on Thursday, Friday & Saturday served at 12pm until 3pm. For just £28 per guest our Classic or vegetarian afternoon tea offers a selection of homemade sweets and savouries and served with Farrer’s tea or pressed coffee. Upgrade to add a glass of Prosecco for £35 per guest, or for that extra sparkle, a glass of Taittinger Brut Reserve for £43 per guest.
