Arnside's Old Bakehouse in South Lakeland

Tempted by window display. No prices displayed, shocked at prices. Asked if I wanted vegan sausage roll warmed. Outside was warm, middle stone cold. Stodgy, salty filling. Would have preferred a Greggs. Over priced and disappointing 😞

VERY EXPENSIVE. They do not display the prices in the window of the Pies, Sauage Rolls etc-which they should and no wonder because if they did most potential customers would not go in. I ordered a vegan sauage roll to take away and was charged £4.25 !!!!!! OUTRAGEOUS !!!!

Visiting from south. Love this part of the world snd normally quality of produce and service good in the area. Sadly there are always exceptions to the rule and mistakingly forgot to read the reviews first. The beef and ale pie didnt have any beef or ale. I'd have needed a black and decker to cut the pastry! Sausage roll dry and heavy. Food presented nice in the window but what gets served doesnt live up to the picture. Strangely expected to clear your own table into the bin. Greggs cheap and cheerful but offers better fare than here. Will not be returning.

Used to love coming here. As others have said. Staff a strange mix and constantly busy making a racket and appearing to achieve little. This is our third visit in a row with quality deterioration. Used to be exceptional. Cheese, onion, leek pie. Severe lack of taste. Very little cheese, no taste of leek. Stuffed with potato and a bit of seasoning. So powdery dry. Only ate half. Chicken, leek and onion pie. Plenty of chicken. Reasonable seasoning. No taste of leeks. Potato again. If you're listing main ingredients. Potato should be listed first on the cheese mix. Certainly second on the chicken. Predominant taste is potato, it's also likely the heaviest and by volume. Not sure we're ready to give this place another chance. Price is pitched at quality pie for low cost ingredients. Appearance is fabulous

Avoid! Service was appalling! Scotch egg was black inside (yellow yolk) and rock solid meat and bread crumbs, pork pie slimy and tasteless. Flapjacks (when they finally arrived) extremely dry! Soft Drinks overpriced and warm! Waste of money and ended up having to go elsewhere as we couldn't eat any of it!

Called in early afternoon, the potato and meat pies were very well cooked ie rock hard , extremely salty and tasted more like a pasty with lots of turnip in them. The millionaire shortcakes We're ok though. It was expensive visit near £20 with a can of drink. Also the woman serving an east European was disinterested and not pleasant.

We visited Arnside today and saw what looked like delicious pies in the window so, with it being a sunny day thought rather than sit in a pub, a sandwich, pie, bottle of water on a bench will do! Well, what an absolute rip off! £19.40 for a ham salad sandwich, tuna and onion sandwich, 1 meat and potato pie and 2 bottles of water! The sandwiches were nearly £6 each and nothing special, quite tasteless in fact, the pastry on the pie was nice, but the filling was EXTREMELY salty and just luke warm. If I visit again the sandwiches in Londis look tastier with more filling. £19.40! Rip off merchants! The young man in the shop also has the personality of a brick wall, didn't have a clue what he was doing, didn't know if they had forks, which they did and it general just couldn't be bothered. This place could be a little goldmine with good staff and reasonable prices. Such a shame. Go to Londis for better value and tastier sandwiches.

A below average pie and a quiche, luke warm, not hot. 2 coffees, hot but watery, all this for over £18. Definitely will never return.

Pulled up outside to go the chemist next door and saw some good looking sausage rolls in the window..came back and thought I’d have a sausage roll and soup for lunch and take in a view of the bay….. soup was ok/average..sausage roll looked better than it was and only just tepid warm so average all over…then the stinger.. £8.20!!! Take out! £8.20 yes you read it right £8.20!! I didn’t realise straight away then staggered out clinging on to reality.. I don’t think my bank will allow me back in a hurry!!

I recommend you just walk by and find a better spot to eat. This place seems to be staffed by unsupervised school boys who haven’t been coached in any customer service skills whatsoever. Big disappointment and a seriously poor experience

Went today and ordered a scone with butter???? (neither looked or tasted like butter) the scone just disintegrated when I cut into it, it was so dry. I returned it and an older lady commented “it can’t be stale I only baked them today” while poking her finger into the scone. She was not addressing me when she made this comment but was addressing one of the other staff on duty…..the lovely assistant on the till refunded me even though I did leave the counter resigned to the fact I would have to forfeit my payment….needless to say I won’t return!

My husband and I visited Arnside last Friday (Jan 12th). We had a flask of coffee with us but needed pasties/sausage rolls or something similar to eat with it. We purchased a cheese and onion pasty and a Cornish pasty from the Old Bakehouse to take out. The price for these two pasties amounted to over £8 which in our opinion is very expensive 😕 HOWEVER, they were outstanding! Absolutely delicious with crisp, flakey pastry and ample fillings. My cheese and onion pasty was the best I've ever tasted from a bakery. So - the moral of this review is "you get what you pay for!" 👍👍👍

Me and my partner came here today to have a few snacks and some coffees, which at a decent price where lovely and the older lady serving (im sure she was ukrainian) was lovely and gave amazing service. To the other staff i cant say the same. There were 2 young teenage boys working id say beetween age 14-15 who where quite rude and acted very immature to be working in a coffee shop. They were both wearing nike and north face tracksuits, one with his hood up which i find extremely innapropriate.i undersand its winter and its cold but the lady also working there was dressed appropriately with a apron and suitiable clothing, so i dont see an exuse for the sloppy JD tracksuits. They were also play fighting in front of customers and just acting silly in general. I noticed that when serving customers, there was no chatting or kindness just take the money and give the coffees type of thing. One of the boys even put a takeout coffee in a ladys face and didnt say anthing to her, not even "have a nice day" or "here you go" in conclution just very young saff that need better training. (Ps i work in hospitality so i know how easy it is to act profesional in a job.

Stayed in Arnside so we had coffee here a few times, just a young lad making the coffee but he really knows how to make an excellent flat white! We has breakfast baps which were excellent and huge. Took home meat and potato pies which were proper pies - lovely pastry and lots of filling.

Waited 15 minutes for a BLT and a bacon and egg sandwich, for the privelage of this costing £10, I left the shop and as I’d set off on my journey, realised it was sausage and egg, and there may aswell not have even been an egg due to the yolk being completely solid. Also when I asked for the BLT, which was noted on the menu, she said she would “try” make one. Sorry but if you can’t cook an egg right in a cafe, you shouldn’t be cooking. Disappointed and waste of my hard earned money.

Called in for coffee and a bacon sandwich for 2.Waited 10-15 mins and the bacon sandwich arrived, but no coffee for another 10-15 mins(already eaten the sandwich).Decided to take out 4 sausage rolls and 2 pies for our tea i wish i hadn't £23.40(I nearly had a fit)Dick turpin springs to mind .If I every visit Arnside again I won't be going in there and anyone goes in please check the prices

Delightful little place this. The coffee is outstanding and they have a great selection of lovely food - we’ve been back a couple of times as it was so delicious

I don’t know where to start with this review, easily the worst cafe experience I’ve had for a very long time. Had 5 young and hungry children to feed at lunchtime today so popped in for what I thought would be a quick takeaway to eat on the beach: 3 sausage rolls, a soup, some crisps and two ham sandwiches. I was kept there waiting for 45 mins! The sandwiches arrived in 5 mins. After another 20mins and realising that my hot food hadn’t arrived yet other customers who came after me were leaving with theirs, I decided to say something… turns out the sausage rolls were not even put in the warming oven so then were put in for 10 mins…. but then the soup hadn’t emerged despite my complaints about the time it was all taking… waited another 10 mins for the soup which had been seemingly abandoned to serve other customers…. no apology given just very flustered and dismissive staff. I don’t normally complain but I found this whole experience completely bonkers …. I’d really like to say it was good value, worth the long wait and delicious … it cost me £27 and the soup was so salty you could have walked on it!!! Sandwich’s two slices of cheap bread and thin ham, sausage rolls were ok but not worth £3.50 each. What can I say? I’ve worked in hospitality, I know it’s stressful but this was beyond acceptable. Not blaming the young lad out front, appalled by the poor management . Wont be going back!!

Great selection of pies, a colossal scotch egg of which when we arrived was all gone. Looking forward to pie and a sausage roll. Because you can when you are on holiday.

Popped into this place with kids for breakfast. First impression, *lots* of staff but very slow service and none of those staff making eye contact or saying hello or "we'll be with you" or anything as we stood waiting. Second impression, over eight pounds for a sausage roll and a small quiche which took forever to heat up in the oven seemed pretty pricey to me? Third impression, small quiche was really a standout, great filling and pastry, so, on reflection, happy to pay over four pounds for that (even though teenager demolished in three bites). Sausage roll not so much.

Called in and bought veggie potato and leek and steak and ale pies. Both were the best!!! Really impressed! Thankyou.

Called in on good Fri morning, welcoming staff, 3 of us + 1 cocker spaniel, 3 coffees & 2 breakfast sandwiches were ordered, all arrived quickly, coffees were excellent as were the b'fast T-cakes, plenty of sausage & bacon both very tasty, all for less than £20.00, would definitely return & highly recommend ☆☆☆☆☆

This is a place that I always liked, but this visit found prices so expensive compared to others. Eg £1.20 for a bag of crisps but even my the cost of my bacon bun was pretty dear. Good quality but still….. Service was pretty slow to. A bit of a disappointment this time around.

Arrived at lunchtime - first three things we requested were not available - 2 pasties tea for two and two flapjacks £20

Called in on the off-chance with my son & his wife for breakfast. First time we'd been but hope it won't be the last. Service & food quality were excellent. When we'd finished our meal we bought take-out pastries for the next part of the...

The pastry of the pie and pasty was very good. The reason I've given a poor review to the shop is that things seem to have changed for the worst since my last visit. I found both the pie and the pasty extremely poor. If...

I paid £8.60 for a small meat pie and regular meat & potato to takeout, I couldn’t eat one of them not cooked properly. There wasn’t any prices on anything or I wouldn’t have bought them. My 2 friends from Canada bought the same but...

We ordered a vegetarian roll pastry and a breakfast roll plus 2 teas. Tea in paper cups, food on paper plates, cost £16. The breakfast roll was a plated breakfast with toast, not what was ordered, also they had no eggs. Husband cut his lip...

Looks like a nice local bakery but it’s actually just for tourists with deep pockets. Eye watering prices for a pie or cake, definitely not worth the money. Will not be returning.

Brilliant cafe and bakery Dog friendly and really pleasant staff . Food and drinks are excellent quality and very reasonable a must visit if in the area . Also takeaway pies and pastries are delicious.

We’ve thought about getting lunch from here several times and today we did. Ordered pie peas and gravy inside then asked to wait outside to collect. We waited quite a long time before our food was passed to us through the takeaway hatch. We walked...

Visited twice during week commencing Mon 21 Feb 22 whilst walking in the local area. This is a small cafe but which does excellent drinks and cakes and (not that we tried them) pies. Quite a good view over the bay, too. Will probably return...

Went into the bake house today after a blustery walk and sampled their tomato, Basil and red pepper soup it was fantastic and to my mind a good price I will also say that the young lady who served us was extremely pleasant and helpful...

My friend and I ordered a takeaway soup , and it was probably the best tomato and basil soup I've tasted. Very thick and yummy. Very pleasant lady served us. Reasonable price. Would recommend

Visited February 2022. One coffee, one tea, one pie with gravy and one pie with gravy and peas came to £16.60. As there are no prices listed, thought this might help any potential customers! Quite tasty but pies not hot enough. Coffee was good -...

Good great as always but over the last few months we have found the staff really rude. On the first occasion they were really busy and we had ordered a lot of drinks so took it on the chin when we heard the staff complaining...

Used to be a lovely little cafe but now seems to be more of a bakery with take away products. Place your order then wait outside for it. Pity but that's life. Will have to find somewhere else.

Went in to order some fresh sandwiches asked to two to be made ,,, [ it was quiet ] there was a flat glum NO ,,,,had choose from the very limited chilled section ,,, more about that later ,,, ordered two soups stated as '...

The Cornish pasties used to be the best from this shop, the last time we bought them they were rubbish, they were filled with mush! We decided to try again today but bought 2 sandwiches and 2 coffees costing £13.20! There were no prices visible...

We stopped off especially for the Cornish pasties which we’d been told about, I walked into the shop and I’d opened the door a crack and a harridan behind the counter screamed get out we’re up to our limit, no sorry or anything I did peer inside through the steam and there was a few in there miserably sipping coffee. I said let’s not bother, her colleague (dark haired very polite and customer friendly) tapped on window and pointed to a side window where she served us, the pasties were good but that woman needs the sack, an old guy who she’d been serving came up and told us he was local and she’s always that rude and not liked locally!

This is the place to go for coffee. Very friendly staff - all safety conscious with the Covid too. There was a fantastic choice of pies - both savoury and sweet - and many sandwiches to choose from too. We only had the coffee because we had eaten but we sat on the pier overlooking the bay and it was perfect. Thank you.

First visit I had a delicious meat and potato pie. Next time we had the pigs in blankets, very tasty. I also bought a cheese and leek to bring home. Which I also enjoyed. I certainly don't think the prices are too high. I'm sorry I don't live nearer!!!

I’m sorry to say that the 3 pies we bought all ended up in the bin. The meat pies were very hot on the outside but stone cold in the middle. The cheese and onion was full of white flavourless stodge. Disappointing.

We've been on holiday in the area and saw how lovely the baked goods looked in the window. We tried the sausage rolls first, which are amazing (and are served hot or cold) then came back the following day for breakfast rolls and coffee and bought a cheese, onion and leek pie and a mushroom and spinach quiche to take home. We shared both and they were fabulous. Can't believe you've got such negative reviews! Some of us are willing to pay a reasonable price for good food, I guess those who can't tell the difference are better off sticking to the supermarket. Sadly we live too far away to be regular customers but hope to return on another holiday soon

Had a night away and we discovered this little gem. We had the best cherry bakewell I've eaten in years, the slice was huge and so fresh!! lovely friendly staff, highly recommend.

I wanted to get a quick lunch. There are no prices readily displayed- though I did see an A4 list after I had paid as it is right by the till. I ordered a pre-packed sandwich (same as you would get in a supermarket meal deal) and I was astonished when it cost £4.90. It tasted ok, nothing special- but the price point is way, way off and I would never return because of it.

Very expensive for what you get. £3.60 for a Veggie Cheese and Leek pie which tasted quite salty and was not finished. The prices are not on display either in the window or inside on the products so you don't know the price until you ask or actually pay and I feel a lot of people would not buy if the prices were known before purchasing as its expensive.

I bought a Black Pudding Sausage Roll from here and it was one of the best sausage rolls I've had. They also do a selection of pies, cakes and drinks.

Overpriced and food average at best. £9 for 1 baguette and 1 soup. Will not be returning. Rather drive up the road to Milnthorpe where there is much better choice at reasonable prices.

Ive never had such good pies, simply the best!Friendly staff, good service and great food makes for a worth while trip!The views from this place are amazing looking over the bay, great spot to have a bite and a brew.Covid friendly: 3 max inside, order inside then collect through window! 10/10

This place has gone down hill ! Worst scone ever. Overpriced and poor quality. Ended up binning scone it was so dry.

We called in here to pick up a picnic lunch.The pies were mediocre, and the cake quite frankly horrid.My husband had flapjack ( when did flapjack contain nuts?) and I, the Victoria sponge which was hard, and either stale or made with margarine or both. The staff hasn’t a clue and seemed not to car either.We own and operate a hotel and so do know what we’re talking about.It’s such a shame, this place could clean up - right on the prom.Last time we were there we visited the posh sardine. Super food, delicious cake and lovely people.

Just had a bacon and egg barmcake bacon had been in microwave and so much fat on it could not even eat would have taken back but we had picked up and moved on

Called here for takeaway as because of Covid they are not serving inside. We’ve been before it’s been very nice but on this occasion it was awful. Three sausage rolls absolutely full of grease. The bags were soaked in it. One pork pie same again full of grease and two coffees which we gave back as they were cold. At just over £15.00 it was expensive and poor. Hopefully when they are able to open properly again things will improve

Taking into account the adjustments all businesses have had to make during covid, this was a pretty rubbish experience. The food was nice enough, although nothing outstanding. The Balti Sausage roll was essentially sweet potato wrapped in pastry... not sure where the balti bit comes in. Service... while waiting I was not once acknowledged by staff. It's the simple words of "I will be with you in a minute" that go a long way. The lady who served me could not take more than one item at a time and asked me to wait a minute before I could order beyond a pie. And while she called me 'darling' a few times, the overall body language and service did not match the robotic words. There wasnt an ounce of authenticity or customer service. Just another person to be processed.It's a shame. Individual experience is important. Having watched the people in front also have to remind the staff member of their drinks order, I again had to do the same. Maybe it was a bad day... maybe on a quiet Tuesday they were having an off moment? Shame really because it looked like it would be a gem of a spot. I'd give it one more go while we are here for the week to see if it is any better.

Found this after a walk with the kids in the rain. Lovely staff, warm pies & pasties, good coffee and tasty (vegan) flapjack.

£5.00 for a cheese roll, and hardly anything on it, don't bother with this place, far better and cheaper options in arnside, thier just ripping people off,

We 'popped' here for a quick bacon barm one morning, and after a 15 minute wait to get served, we were told they only had bacon for one...so I plumped for a sausage barm instead to be told "5 minutes". 15 minutes later waiting round the corner at the serving hatch, we finally got our barms. Were they worth the wait? Darn right they were, the bacon barm was loaded with thick cut slices...and my sausage barm had three Cumberland type sausages on them. Packed to the brim and delicious and filling...just a shame about the wait, but hey 'Good things come to he who waits'

Overlooking the eastern end of Morecambe Bay this place was just what we needed on a cold day after a long walk.A great menu of pies, cakes, sarnies etc. Service was good and staff very friendly with a nice greeting on arrival. Very clean to.Food is fresh and coffee and tea spot on, just what we needed, toilet facilities were very clean to, but if your really infirm or in a W/C you would have difficulty as its small and up a step. In a nice area to. Prices were very reasonable. to.

The food here is excellent, very tasty!Great selection of pies and baps.The view from the window is delightful.The staff are really friendly.Gratitude was expressed. I recommend!

We booked a surprise birthday lunch for a party of 5 plus being dog friendly made it 6.We had pre booked the day before with San who had reserved our table the food was lovely with a great choice of gluteon free and vegan friendly menu also was a lovely warm atmosphere and Sandy and her colleagues couldn't do enough to make you feel welcome my sister was overwhelmed when Sandy arrived with cake's as an unplanned surprise a lovely place to enjoy a lunch with great views of the sea and hills really recommend San and her colleagues at the old bakery thank you so much ♥️Barry, Clare, Paula, Anita, Neil and of course our Pud

This was an excellent place to finish our run. We had just done roughly 9k of mixed terrain running from Silverdale to Arnside. The views were gorgeous and the run was relatively challenging. So this place as recommended by my friend was just the ticket to finish everything on. We came in, rather muddy and sweaty. but thankfully the staff appeared to be used to that. The had the option called 'Proper Job' which includes Pie, Potato, Peas and Pickled Veg. He ordered Cheese, Leek and Onion with chips, mushy peas and red cabbage. I had the Steak Pie with mash, mushy peas and Red Cabbage. And...Wow, my tastebuds were dancing. I am not much of a pie man, seeing as it is not something I grew up with. But every bit of that filled plate was an explosion of taste sensations. I ordered Carrot cake, and like the main meal it was generously proportioned. Both of us had to waddle the way to the train station. As for shortcomings. We were very luck that there was a table free. Not sure what we would have done if there hadn't been one. As for the prices... Given that this is a bakeshop in a small town and the portions are, uhm, well proportioned I am not going to complain about that. Maybe a free refill on the coffee that would have been good. But whatever. It was utterly satisfying, and I'll happily go again.

Called in for late lunch/snack. Had some very tasty soup and a large BLT. Staff friendly food excellent. Coffee was good as well. Nice place to eat . Politeness always works for me . Sometime will try a floorboard cake possibly be a little naughty and have it with custard

Called in today to buy a sausage roll and an almond slice - cost £4.50. When I questioned the price I was told £2.10 for the sausage roll and £2.40 for the almond slice. Nearly changed my mind about the cake - wish I had as it was very dry and tasteless. I threw most of it away. Will give the place a miss next time we’re in Arnside.

This place has always been great. Nice place for breakfast or lunch. The pies are especially recommended!

I went here as I was freezing and desperate for something to eat, staff were lovely and welcomed as I walked in, especially one of the young girls. The meat and potato pie was very tasty however the price on the other hand was quite expensive but overall I recommend to go here!

The staff were friendly and our food was brought to us quickly. The cafe has a good amount of seating and nice views onto the bay. A great place to have lunch with the locals.

Shocking service received by the three young women working this afternoon. I work in hospitality and am studying a BA In International Hospitality Management and this is my first critical review of an eating establishment. The cafe was empty apart from one gentleman drinking a coffee at a table. There was no welcome when we stepped inside, no smile, no friendliness, one of the staff members who was cleaning an oven was making noises of disgust and at one point said ‘Urgh that’s disgusting’ as we were being served, attempting to show her colleague the mess as she was serving us. There was more but the above demonstrates the lack of customer care. Not professional, not how I like to spend my hard earned income, won’t be returning in a rush.

Comfort food living the dream - Balti Pie, Mash, Gravy and mushy peas. Cast aside the the quinoa, free range carrots and tofu, here's some top class comfort food (including pies for veggies)

Had pastries for here for lunch which were very tasty so decided to go for breakfast which was also very tasty, staff were very nice but disappointed having spent over a hundred pounds we had to buy packets of sauces for the breakfast shame.

Best ever pies and cakes for eating in or taking away space is limited in the cafe at peak times, what a quaint little cafe in the heart of Arnside

The best breakfast barm in a long time. Good coffee and a great selection of pastries and home made pies and quiches. Staff are friendly and helpful.

The Old Bakehouse is well named! The range of pies is extensive, and as delicious as they look. Well, well worth a visit!

Popped in here for a couple of small cakes to take away. I was shocked to pay almost £4. I can only assume they have the same prices for eating in or out. I would not return for take away items.

Most amazing selection of pies. Any size, any filling, hot or cold. Smell when you enter is wowser. Wish did mail order hahaha

my grandson bought a meat and potato after getting awfull food in the pub next to it,because he was hungry we drove of and my grandson started to eat his microwaved pie but it was just pastry ??? where was the filling it just wasnt visible a tiny bit between the pastry £4 for pastry wont be going back

A good cafe with a range of baked on the premises food. Not very big so a bit so a squash especially if the weather is damp!

Called at The Old Bakehouse on Saturday lunchtime.

Pies looked lovely and decided to have a quick snack for lunch, so decided to try the bakery.

We stopped by here for lunch and found it lovely. Quality hand made pie and chips. Service very good. Very busy but you can see why, it didn’t affect the service/food though.

I ordered a cappuccino and an Earl Grey tea. Unfortunately, it was one of the worst cappuccinos I have ever had! It was just watery coffee with a tiny bit of froth. It was so bad I actually went back to the counter and told them so. The staff were lovely and I asked if I could have a cup of tea instead.

Called in for lunch,food and staff lovely,however the surprise came when ordering a americano coffee and charged 15 pence for a extremely small jug of hot milk ! I asked the staff who informed me that hot or cold milk is charged.

Stopped here after a beach stroll and picked up the last 2 " pork" pies. One plain one with black pudding. The black pudding one came with a slice off pudding instead of a pastry top. Black pudding was hard and dry, the meat inside was ok with pieces of pudding dotted about. The plain one had a soggy bottom , undercooked and grey. The meat inside was more like beef and very tasteless. £4.60 for 2 very small below average pies?? Won't bother again !!

Lunch was the most delicious cheese and leek pie each and we shared a bowl of freshly cooked chips and a pot of tea. The place was extremely busy. Only one loo though?? A definite must visit!!

Lovely place to sit in and have lunch. A large range of pies and pasties, freshly made and heated if required. Drinks include Fentimans and fruit Pegergrinos which is great. Didn't have tea, but those that did, enjoyed it. Sit at the window seats and enjoy a view of the viaduct. Dog friendly. Seats about 24 people. Service is quite slow, but so should life be!

Forget the fact that the coffees and drinks were very good and the cakes were fine. The tea cakes were smashing,the tiffin was great as was the almond slice but it is worth walking, riding or driving miles for the meat pies. Huge selection and I could only have one - the steak and kidney, which was fabulous. Great, characterful, little cafe. One drawback - a single toilet which is not very accessible, small and up three or four steps (suggestion - take away the pies!!).

Having walked from Silverdale to Arnside we were in need of refreshments and saw the superb looking pies in the window, as we had the dog with us we were going to buy a pie and eat on the promenade. Whilst dawdling around thedoor trying to make our minds up, we were welcomed in, dog and all and before we knew it were settled down with a big pot of tea and a gorgeous steak and kidney pie with mash, mushy peas and gravy. Super food at a very reasonable price and dog friendly. Wow !

The original plan for the day had been a gentle stroll, this had turned into a 5 mile hike so by the time the dog and I got back into Arnside we were ready for a rest and I was ready for some lunch.

Had a cuppa here and was very nice. Staff friendly, clean, good selection of cakes & dogs are allowed. A lovely cafe in a lovely place.

We visit Arnside a few times a year in Autumn, Winter or Spring, mainly for the walks. Fist port of call is usually the Old Bakehouse for coffee and perhaps a pie. Yes it’s small and sometimes cramped, but so are many places. But the coffee is good, the food is good and it is characterful.

Not only good for tea, cakes and pies but they also supply complete meals with a local flavour. If you are in need of a treat or a hearty meal this is the place for you.

Stopped for a snack and thoroughly enjoyed the sausage rolls. Best cup of tea all week, and good coffee too.

Had a nice Tuna salad for lunch here, staff were quick to serve us and food was nice. Would use again

Stopped off and bought two sausage rolls and ate them across the road on the jetty,very nice,will definitely come back and try a pie or two!

I can only describe the filling in the steak and kidney pies as something that looked and tasted like and to put mildly as pureed mush there was no visible sight of any steak & kidney, we were so looking forward to enjoying them, I'm in my 70s and still have my own teeth some meat would have been enjoyable to test them,

Visited Arnside today , Bank Holiday Monday and arrived mid afternoon feeling rather peckish . This place was extremely busy but after queuing for five minutes we got a table for two in a very tiny and cramped cafe. I went to place our order but all out of pies - just a few pasties and sausage rolls.

We didn't stop in however we did purchase two of the delicious pasties. The butter crust was mouth watering. We can see why it's so busy. We will definately be back when we stay here again, or may just 're route to pick a pasty up.

Whenever I’m in Arnside I will always go and have something to eat/drink at this little cafe. It serves all kinds of tasty pies with peas, mash, gravy and relish. The carrot and butter bean soup is delicious and so is the bacon, Brie and red onion marmalade relish sandwich. The cakes aren’t bad either.

I've been up to Arnside a lot recently as my mother has moved there, so need to find places to eat and take my Mother.

Bill and Sue Ridgway have created a little gem here. Fresh, locally sourced meats and vegetables are the key ingredient in their tantalising range of pies and pastries. The tealoaf is pretty tasty too. Delicious coffee too.
