My fav cafe in Grasmere. They do the BEST chilli jacket potato. Has a bit of a heat which I love and expect with a chilli. My husband had his fav, the tuna & mayo sandwich. Whenever we have visited the staff have always been friendly & welcoming and the cafe itself is nice and bright and there is outside seating overlooking the river and the churchyard of St Oswald's, which is where William Wordsworth and his family are buried. Would definetely recommend you visit but just one thing you may need to know, no dogs allowed in the cafe.

Have been going here for years. Totally disappointed with our visit today. It’s all change and not for the better. It’s gone boutique style! Food was not as advertised on the menu!!! Won’t be returning. So sad!!!!

The hot apple cinnamon is delightful with a slice of lemon cake. The views of the gardens and water is something out of a Woolworth poem. Oh wait, he happens to be buried right around the corner.

Love the fact that it is dog free. It is so hard to find anywhere, especially in the Lake District, which isn't full of dogs, the problem seems to get worse every time we visit. Lovely tea and cake, beautiful situation, spotlessly clean toilets too.

When your granddaughters say “ Grandad, can we go to that place opposite the Church, we like the food”… you know you’re on to a good place. “No trip to Grasmere is complete without a pop into the Tea Gardens. The view from the terrace of the river and Church is second to none. Brilliant food - this time we had a 67, 30, and 8 year old and the compact menu appealed to all different age groups. Sensibly priced, really great staff “ do you want the outside heater turned on …?” great quality and decent portions of food, fully recommend… I recommend the drinks the sandwiches the soup the cakes the chilli the ice cream the whole place.

Great food and service as always. Staff always feel like they are happy to serve you and nothing is too much trouble. The chilli is amazing as always and the jacket potatoes are large with plenty of filling. Great place by the river opposite the church, just mind the Jackdaws if you're sitting outside. Great place to eat no matter the weather.

Been many times before but was really disappointed that dogs are no longer allowed so will no longer visit. Not sure why they ban all dogs when dogs are the responsibility of the owners. Wouldn't be surprised if this is heavily effecting business as its the only place in the many times we have been to the lakes to ban dogs.

Came here with my partner's family for a quick bite for lunch. I had the jacket potato with the homemade chilli and some cheese. It was lovely, jacket potato was cooked well and the chilli was delicious with a nice kick. It also came with homemade coleslaw which was nice. My partner and her family had different panini's and all said that they were lovely. Staff were friendly, would come here again.

Lovely setting and very efficient service. Unfortunately the food was a bit pricey and didn't live up to the otherwise high standards! I had a scone which tasted burnt and the jam provided was really bland and a tiny portion!! My husband's sandwich was similar. Would have expected tastier in such an established place!

A tea garden located in one of the busiest parts of the village with an outside terrace by the river overlooking the Oswald Church. That's why they seemed to always be very busy and full. It would be a perfect place to take a break or quick bite to eat if they could improve their food. The sandwiches and drinks we had here, imho, were at best of supermarket quality though the service was very quick. Our drinks arrived while I was still at the counter settling the bill. All in all, a four star rating because of the environment. Don't expect too much for the food.

The cafe was cute, the two guys were lovely and friendly, unfortunately the waitress just dumped our scone and coffee on a try without a word to us which I found quite rude! The scone was simply dry and I needed a hacksaw to cut it, it’s a good job I had butter and jam! The coffee was nice though. Wouldn’t rush to go back.

We stopped here for coffee after a circular walk from Grasmere to Rydal and back. It was a nice spot to sit outside in the sunshine. The patio area is nicely done with a clear roof so it the weather is not great you could still enjoy the nice spot by the river and bridge. A very nice location and feel to this cafe. I'd be happy to return for a meal on a future trip.

Very nice lunch. My wife had a jacket potato with chilly which was substantial and tasty. I had a sandwich and a cup of soup both of which were very nice. An additional plus is that because of earlier problems they do not allow dogs in. We do find that in most cases dogs are kept under control but increasingly people are now taking 2 (or even more) dogs into cafes and have experienced a number of occasions where control has been lacking.
