Called in for breakfast on the way to the Ravenglass railway. We had found it via reviews on Google and both the food and service never disappointed. A really friendly place, superb staff and the breakfast absolutely gorgeous…them sausages are delicious!! If you want a good full English breakfast , then definitely visit and very reasonable prices aswell, the breakfast in my picture was £8 plus £2 for a large pot of tea. You can request from fresh toms or Tinned. Thanks very much, I’m now full !! Haha

Had to go to Whitehaven for a hospital visit and this was pretty much the first cafe we found. How lucky we were - we could easily have gone in to a greasy spoon and regretted it. But instead, we had lunch in what is probably the best cafe in Whitehaven! We both had meat pie, peas and gravy with a side of fresh, homemade chips. Absolutely delicious!! Proper Cumbrian portion (read - big!) - pie packed full of gorgeous mince and potatoes drowned in a lovely gravy. So good, I’m sure we’ll day trip again just for lunch! Staff really friendly and not a rip-off pricing.

We popped in for a drink having read the reviews, we weren’t disappointed at all. Our only regret was that we weren’t hungry as the food looked really nice and reasonably priced. They were very popular with take out meals too, so if the locals like the cafe then that’s a great advert. They also have three tables for dog owners too, well done for that.

Went for lunch with a couple of friends. We booked a table and pre ordered our food. Table was ready when we arrived and food came out within minutes. Really good sized portions and proper chips too! Would definitely go back!
