Market Hall Carlisle – Indoor Market
The Market Hall Carlisle is one of the few Victorian covered markets still in use today. We’re sure you’ll love the signage as well as the aroma from the flower stall when entering from the pedestrianised market.
Food Quarter at Market Hall Carlisle
What I love about the indoor market is that there is a choice of food providers, each offering a limited choice, but what each does best. As a family group, everyone can have their first choice and then sit and eat together. The range of food options has increased and is still growing – so you never know what you’ll find next time you come. I’d always been drawn to Sylvia’s Coffee Shop, the fresh fruit stall and the Coconut Tree Thai Cafe. On recent visits (three Saturdays in a row) I have been prompted to try the greek offering at Gryoplois and Eastern Mediterranean food at Paprika and the Fat Cow milkshake.The full list of food offering at the Market Hall

Coconut Tree
My favourite is the Thai Cafe. Coconut Tree – an unimposing unit, don’t be put off. It is amazing how the one cook takes simple fresh ingredients and transforms them into superb complex flavours, whilst you wait. No matter how many youtube videos I watch, I cannot recreate the freshly cooked dishes at this cafe. Nick was blown away, he’d not had Thai food this good since he lived among the North Thai many years ago, and he loves not paying more than a fiver.
I used always have to prawn noodles, now my favourites include prawn pa nang, vegetarian jungle curry and prawn pad Thai. If you do go to the cafe on Saturday, make sure you are ahead of the Chinese Students from the local school, who order two dishes each, resulting in an up to an hour’s wait for your lunch.
