The Scott and Brassey, Lancaster Brewery Inns’ new sister venue to the Tite & Locke at Lancaster Station opened its doors to customers at Carlisle Station on 25 February 2026.

The premises have been subject to a high quality refurbishment by Network Rail and Lancaster Brewery Inns with £350,000 funding from the Department for Transport and £50,000 from the Railway Heritage Trust.

The project is part of Avanti West Coast’s commitment to partner with local SME’s and help their stations to play an active role in the community. The venue will have seven hand pulled cask ales on the bar and a 12-tap craft keg wall showcasing local, regional and national brewers. 

Kathryn O’Brien, Customer Experience Director at Avanti West Coast said: “Lancaster Brewery has established a reputation for high quality venues built within heritage locations and we’re delighted to host this latest venture by them which we know will be valued by our customers and residents in Carlisle alike.”

Julie Minns, MP for Carlisle and North Cumbria said:  The opening of this bar is a further sign of confidence in Carlisle’s future and perfectly complements the significant government investment in the Station Gateway project.”
