Cumbria.

In Carlisle.

There are some good quality cheap restaurants.

There's a new Thai restaurant(Ruen Thai) in Mary Street, Carlisle -Very reasonable prices. http://www.tripadvisor.co.uk/Restaurant_Review-g190736-d1380739-Reviews-Ruen_Thai_Restaurant-Carlisle_Cumbria_England.html

Around Cumbria.

Fox and Pheasant Inn and B&B in Armathwaite, Cumbria- Very popular with the locals!
Shepherd's Inn, Melmerby, Cumbria. - Excellent food and beer. At the Cumbria end of the Alston Run.(A686)
Brackenrigg Inn - Ullswater- Great views, good view, good beer. http://www.brackenrigginn.co.uk/

Sounds like a good idea! I'll put it as a subsection inside the Events forum... we'll call it a "Local Area Guide".

If you can recommend places in a certain area then just post up the area name as the thread title and get posting!

Devon. Torquay.
Stayed at the "Belgrave" Premier Inn last week. Very good bar and restaurant on site, good parking, very good rooms. Smack bang on the beach. Good starting point for places such as Paignton, Brixham and Dartmouth. premierinn.com
