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.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Was recommended this cafe by the barman in the old fleece inn. The food was spectacular and large portions, proper leaf tea with a strainer and very friendly staff. A fabulous selection of dishes and drinks with lots of seasonal specials. I highly recommend this...cafe, we will be back.More

Went for breakfast. I was looking forward to have the pancakes, but unfortunately they weren't freshly made, and were a bit cold when they arrived. Overpriced for 3 small pancakes. Maybe I choose the wrong thing or they just run out of batter. For that...price, you would expect they made their own batter! Coffee was nice though, and that's why I give 3 stars. Really busy and slow service. So sorry!More

Popped in with my dogs at the weekend whilst in Kendal. Place was very busy but not crowded. Seems to be very popular and I can understand why. Coffee and food were great. The Eggs Benedict were really good. Staff were friendly and efficient. Would...really recommend.More

Visited for breakfast and was seated quickly with menus. Upon ordering at the till was told it would be 30 minute wait for food. Why not tell us that upon entering. We decided to stay because the place looked nice enough. A while later a...couple were seated on the next table with their dog. There are no signs outside that said it was a dog friendly cafe and to me this is not a problem but what about people who are allergic or scared of dogs? Shortly after a friend of one of the staff arrived at the door carrying her dog and the staff member was petting the dog...hopefully washing her hands afterwards. Our breakfasts arrived after about 35 minutes. My partner had opted for a veggie sausage barm an d she said it was fine and I had the full English. The black pudding slice was very thin and so overcooked that a circular saw would have struggled to cut through it and the bacon had been cooked so long that you could snap it in half. The beans were in a separate pot from the rest of the breakfast and we're lukewarm and watery. Toast slices were very small. For just short of £25 with one tea and one coffee I was very disappointed. I'm not one for complaining but didn't get the chance to as no-one came over to clear the table. If they had I would have mentioned this to them. All in all very expensive for a below par breakfastMore

Looking for a really good brunch while holidaying in the UK. The Farmhouse kitchen did not disappoint. In fact I would rate it as the best meal we have enjoyed on our holiday so far. I had the eggy bread with smashed avo topped with...halloumi and crispy bacon. All cooked to perfection and super tasty. Staff were helpful and friendly. Great experience all round, would highly recommend!More

Dropped in for brunch, overall disappointed. Well presented cafe with ice interior and friendly staff. I had breakfast bagel swimming in cooking oil - black pudding, sausage and bacon all seemed good quality ingredients, tasty once the excess oil removed. Hash browns inedible, soggy with...cooking oil and the bottom half of the bagel equally inedible as had absorbed the oil from other ingredients. My wife had veggie breakfast, similar. Halloumi, tomatoes & poached egg nice, other ingredients unpleasant due to the amount of oil used cooking. Could be a lovely place if they ditch the fryer and use the grill instead!More

Friendly service from the moment we appeared in the door. Really family friendly, catered for all diets. There was a bit of a wait for food but they warned us and it was totally worth it. Great coffee; lovely ambiance & simply a relaxed meal...with young kids~ thank you!More

I came alone for breakfast before I started work, I was already not having the best day and it really hit the spot! My food was delicious and all cooked fresh, my coffee was made with a lot of love, even heart-shaped coffee art which...I'll be honest, did cheer me up! A lot of places aren't totally sure when it comes to a flat white but these guys nailed it: the drink wasn't boiling hot so I was able to enjoy it straight away whilst I waited for my food! They were very busy when I went and there seemed to be only one lad serving who was genuinely doing a great job considering and all the other people there seemed happy! Admittedly I didn't receive a lot of his attention, although, I did choose to sit quietly in a corner! He was whizzing about clearing tables, taking orders and running the food out, I think I even saw him helping out the guys in the kitchen at one point too - what a Superman! All-in-all a great little café, I got exactly what I wanted and left happy! I don't often find time to have breakfast but whenever I do I'll come here!More
