"Have eaten here a couple of times recently on the last 2 occasions we were lucky to get a table, the cafe is huge with loads of tables but it's obviously very popular hence the difficulty getting a seat. Once seated we loved the menu especially as we are vegetarian so lovely to get some different options. I had the eggs ambio which was gorgeous then today had the goats cheese and onion toast with additional chips. Yes it's a bit expensive and did have a little wait both to order given the size of the queue then to get the food but it's worth it. The cakes look amazing and I really enjoyed the slice of coffee cake I had. The tables outside looking onto the river are great. Loads of free parking and next door to the motor museum, couldn't ask for more."

I had the open beef sandwich which arrived promptly but was so tough I had to give up half way through so my teeth were left intact.

Very busy cafe. You need to find a table first if ordering cooked food. Brodies coffee. Popular with visitors locals. Dogs also allowed

Steer clear of the cheese sandwich. Roasted peppers and tomato chutney. Sloppy with cheese slices. Horrible. I can honestly say it was the worst I have ever tasted

I was surprised by the poor reviews as I found the staff extremely professional and polite; the food delivered promptly and nicely cooked and presented; and the ambiance and views awesome View menu

The food was excellent, the restaurant was very clean, and the staff were friendly. The coronation chicken sandwich was the best I've had in a long time, and the goats cheese on toast was fantastic.

Staff were pleasant and the cafe was lovely and clean. Our meals generally were fine apart from the chips which were overcooked and let the meal down. We would go again but probably won't have the chips again.

Met family at this Cafe for drinks. Think we timed it well as a coach 'load ' were just leaving as we arrived. Weather was good and many were taking advantage by sitting outside on the terrace overlooking the river. Always a good venue to meet up. Friendly service. View menu

The food at this restaurant is wonderful, and they are dog friendly! We stopped by after visiting the motor museum, which is also dog friendly, and grabbed a quick bite to eat. The restaurant offers lovely views of the lake from the window, and there is plenty of outdoor seating for when the weather is nice.

This cafe offers a pleasant atmosphere with plenty of seating both indoors and outdoors. If the weather is nice, guests can enjoy watching the River Leven flow towards Morecambe Bay. It is recommended to carefully review the menu before ordering, as some prices can be considered quite high. For example, a can of diet coke cost £2.50. After looking at other prices on the menu, it felt like the cafe may need a defibrillator on hand for any potential heart attacks from the shock of the prices.

"We were sure to book ahead for a table of 4 for 5.15 as it was a late Sunday roast we were fully aware that not everything would be available so it was no surprise when we were told that there was only gammon left for the roast option however there was still fish and chips homemade steak pie or vegetable lasagne. We happily opted for 3 gammon roast dinners and a homemade steak pie with mash (you get the choice of which potato you'd like) The food arrived piping hot with plenty of everything and it was so so tasty you could really tell everything was lovingly made from scratch for the roast the potatoes came both roasted and mashed with cauliflower, broccoli and carrot and swede mash. A generous helping of gammon and a large Yorkshire pudding with gravy that was clearly made with the juices as it was so flavourful. The steak pie was brilliant too homemade with large chunks of steak and a choice of potato and whether you'd like the same veg as that with the roast or with peas. This also came with gravy. For dessert there was a choice of either chocolate fudge cake, caramel apple pie or sticky toffee pudding and you had the choice of either cream, ice cream or custard. 2 of us got it with custard and 2 of us got it with ice cream and it wasn't overbearingly sweet it was perfect with a delicious caramel top! We all thoroughly enjoyed all the food and the drinks and service and will be back again one day if we find ourselves holidaying here again"
