Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Came across Greens by chance and from the moment we walked in the staff were welcoming nothing was too much trouble. We had cheese toasties with salad and crisps, it was that good I asked what cheese they used unfortunately I couldn’t buy any. We...will definitely return and try the delicious cakes on offerMore

Brilliant range of gluten free food alongside their other options. Was so nice to be able to have something other than a jacket potato when eating out! The waiter even made sure he provided GF hot chocolate as I'd forgotten to say when ordering. They...clearly take those of us that need to avoid gluten for health reasons very seriously, it was very reassuring, and really took a lot of the worry out of eating out. Currently sat eating a piece of their delicious Bakewell tart I took home with me! Can't recommend more highly!More

Excellent in every way! We sat outside on a beautiful day, well situated for watching ‘life’ passing by! It was busy but staff were very attentive and we didn’t have to wait long for our food, which was delicious. I had the Herdwick lamb curry...with warm flatbread, raita, mango chutney and salad followed by scone with raspberry jam and clotted cream. The curry was the best I have eaten, the lamb so tender, and the scone fresh and light, with intense raspberry conserve. My husband had soup and a sandwich both of which he thoroughly enjoyed, followed by a substantial portion of Bakewell tart and custard, his favourite! We will certainly remember to eat there again when we next visit Grasmere! We fully recommend it.More

Great food - loved the curry. Lovely coffee. Very well catered for anyone with specific dietary requirements or a food allergy. Service impeccable. A great local business - the team should be proud of what they do.

We had lunch at Greens as a family with 2 children and a dog. The staff were so helpful with regards to our daughter's allergies, they were able to adapt the menu and advise which options were dairy egg and soy free. The food was...lovely and there is an extensive drinks menu too! We will definitely return on our next visit to Grasmere.More

You would be better asking the cafe directly. A quick phone call would answer your question I’m sure.
