"This is my absolute favourite place. I have to say I’ve been turned away more times than I’ve got in but that just makes me want it more! It’s very small but charming, warm cosy. Of course I should ring ahead to book but...my phone never has a signal so I just turn up. They do a particular raspberry cake whose name I can’t remember but it is gorgeous, moist flavoursome but not too sweet. Even my husband was impressed cute little cafes are his cup of tea really cos he’s a big guy. I sincerely hope they can ride out the current awful situation look forward to tip toeing up your stairs to see if you’ve got a small table just for me."

Great stop once you've visited the fairy tale steps. Friendly service and lovely home made cakes. Nice to sit outside and hear the church bells. Banana bread and brownies were delicious View menu

This was an excellent place. Cheesecakes with a life of cheese and chutney with coffee were served by the lovely host who made us feel very welcome and valued. We sat outside across from the church and watched the world go by. Highly recommended.

Family run and marvellous home cooked food. Menu differs daily and the cakes can be taken home. Only small place so booking is best, but not necessary. Ideal for walkers and bikers. Car parking a bit problematic, but the food makes it all worth the...effort of park and a little walk.

great little cafe, **** away in Beetham. Although it wouldn't have the same cozy feel, its a shame they couldn't get a bigger space as the area desires something where you can take all your family instead of just a few at...a time. But if you can get in, enjoy and if not worth the wait! View menu

Last time we were here it was for a tasty takeaway soup to warm a chilly day's work in the church opposite. This time was more leisurely, with a delicious and prettily presented pea/mint soup and houmous/beetroot sandwich combination. The vegan options were produced with...no fuss and much charm. We were rather full after all that but it was all so relaxing that we followed it with one of those cakes that you know you ought to cut in half to save for later but somehow you just keep eating until it's gone. Returning soon. Thank you for the warm welcome and delightful food.

Yes I do eat out a lot especially cafés. I only give honest reviews sometimes too honest . Called in on the off chance the weather would stay clement . It's a café we have visited before with excellent food. Now offering takeaway. As usual...we must support them. This time roast beef sandwich and turkey and cranberry sandwich. Presented in takeaway box . Good fresh bread , very fresh salad with cous cous. Followed by( I know I shouldn't have delicious fruit strudel . Coffee and tea were very good. Luckily it stayed fine so we had a very pleasant lunch in the church yard watching the swallows . Highly recommended this café

"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"
