"I visited this cafe today. Ordered a latte and cake. The coffee tasted like cheap instant or something that had sat in a jug for too long. I was prepared to let that pass. I took a fork full of the Victoria sandwich cake I ordered. It was clearly dry bordering on stale. A person, I presume may have been the owner walked past my table, so I discretely mentioned that the cake was dry. Whereupon, with a glare and without a word she grabbed it off my table and slung it towards the waitress, who looked acutely embarrassed. And with her back to me marched into the kitchen. The waitress came up to my table not knowing quite what to do or say, and said that I didn't have to pay for the cake. I decided to leave, and leave the coffee too. I asked her to let her manager know how rudely I had been treated. She was very sympathetic and said she wasn't going to charge me for the coffee either. We live locally and we will never use this cafe again, and will ensure that I pass on my disgust to everyone I know. I cannot think of any time that I have been subjected to worse customer care. I suggest if you want to experience a rude, ignorant manner and poor food, you try this place."

Went for lunch and we were disappointed with our sandwiches. Quite overpriced for what you get quality wise.

We had lunch here before our walk to Hardraw Force. Louise had a Wensleydale Cheese Sandwich. The cheese is made at the creamery in Gayle the adjacent village.

I’m not in the habit of posting bad reviews on here as I think everyone deserves a chance, however I feel our treatment at this establishment yesterday deserves a mention.

This restaurant is the perfect spot for chilly weather. The soup is absolutely delicious and velvety smooth. They offer a great set deal that includes soup and a toasted sandwich. View menu

We were a party of 8 enjoying a New Year break near Hawes and visited the café for lunch. It is very small but offers a wide range of delicious home made soups and sandwiches that were just perfect for a light snack.

A small compact cafe whose staff can be a bit brusque. On the other hand the soups were sensational and the homemade lemon scones with cream and homemade lemon curd rates as one of the nicest things I've ever put in my mouth. View menu

We’ve visited this establishment before enjoyed our most recent visit too. Looking for a light snack as the pubs in Hawes generally don’t serve food between 2:30/3 5:30/6 we sat outside with our pooch. We ordered a hot beef, onion gravy sandwich a croc monsieur both came with crisps which were delicious. The sandwiches were great too, reasonable prices good service. The ham in my sandwich was really tasty. Another good experience thank you.

We visited here as we were visiting Hawed on the way home from the lake District,It was well worth not having any breakfast,We visited here before,because the food is very nice and reasonably priced too,My husband ordered a breakfast and omg it had everything on it,Everything was all freshly cooked and really great products,I had an open prawn cocktail sandwich,Everything was home made,Even the seafood sauce was just perfection,It was 2pieces of bread laid on a plate,with prawn cocktail on one side and salad on the other,Even the salad was different,It had grapes,peppers,sweet tomatoes etcetc,I'm fussy about a cup of tea,but even that was nice,Proper Yorkshire teabags,For all of that it was...

"We arrived frazzled because we drove around the grounds in the dark not knowing where to go. The signage inside the grounds is no help at all. Allow time for this if you haven't been before. Fortunately we had because we wanted a pre dinner drink in the bar before we ate. Even when we did arrive we weren't sure if we had arrived at the back entrance because we stood for ages with no welcome or acknowledgement. A very disappointing start to our evening. When someone did come they didn't take our coats. We went through to the snug for a drink. They gave us menus and went away. Later came back for our order. We got our drinks and ordered our food. Then very quickly afterwards we were asked to go through to the restaurant. We had only had a couple of sips of our drinks and it was still prior to the time we had actually booked our table for (7.30pm). We felt rushed. The food came and was fabulous. I had the beetroot starter which had beautifully cooked beetroots and some pickles. It also had a grain through it. I couldn't remember what the grain was so asked a member of staff. She didn't know so went away to ask and came back saying it was probably buckwheat....probably! My main was pork belly with parsnip and an apple reduction. The pork could have been cooked a little longer. I think belly needs to be very well cooked until really soft. The top skin was impossible to cut through as it was not crisp, I couldn't eat it. A steak knife would have helped. Having said that it was still a good dish which could have been excellent. We had sides of mashed potato and greens with pickles both superb. The presentation of both dishes was innovative and inviting. Portion size was good too not tiny portions of fiddled with food which I much prefer. The service was not as polished as the food. There was no obvious manager and we had different servers which is never quite as good as one for the entire meal. The servers were scruffy not appropriate for such a lovely building. Overall it was OK but could have been superb with more attention to some details. Service: 2 Location: 3"
