Mill Yard Cafe in Eden

It’s been a few years since I have visited Morland but work brought myself and a colleague through the village yesterday. Whilst completing our paperwork we decided on a brew and a snack. We popped into the cafe and were made to feel very welcome by the owner Sarah and lovely staff member and even greeted with kindness by the patrons. We only had a take away coffee and a breakfast sandwich each, which was lovely. It’s so nice here I’m going to visit again and bring my Mum for lunch. Thanks.

A hidden gem .set in a picture postcard village.excellent staff,lovely food.we were passing through.on way home to Scotland

Lovely! Called by chance when meandering. Friendly service, good food - I had huge salad with chicken, avocado and roasted broccoli. Hubby tested the burger- both meals good, fresh and plentiful. Closed Monday/Tuesdays. Dog friendly too!

The food was absolutely amazing and the staff were so friendly and helpful would recommend it to anyone

Lovely spot. Just a shame I went too late to try out any lunch options ( 2.45 pm ). But the Tyrril's Blonde and freshly baked homemade cheese scone were cracking. Beer at £4 a pint? Now that's a bargain. Lovely staff too.

This is a fantastic cafe, great service, lovely location and excellent food. All food is amazing, snacks, pizza, tapas and lunch meals. Also have a very good selection for coeliacs.

Great food & lots of choice. Lots of gluten-free options, I had proper gluten-free fish & chips. I've also had tapas here with plenty of gluten-free options. (The chef is a Coeliac) Delicious 😋

After being recommend by a friend we visited while on holiday and we were not disappointed. Lovely village, fantastic food and delightful service.

Consistently good food and very friendly staff Have been here a number of times over the years and have enjoyed every meal. A very nice selection on the menu

Lovely relaxed atmosphere and the food was excellent

Fantastic little gem of a place. Perfect for a visit any time of day.

Incredible tapas .. it was evident the food was made with love and care. My partner and I are from Australia and we enjoyed exploring the village and its beautiful surroundings. Thanks again for fitting us in at short notice.

What a fantastic find! Lovely pot of leaf tea, beautiful tasty scone and lemmon cake.... Perfect!

Wow, what a find. All round 5*. We stopped here in the way to Scotland, a bit off the motorway but well worth it.

We got there just before closing on a Sunday, staff were very friendly and served hot/cold drinks and cake - nice stop after a nice walk - thank you.

Lovely little village. Very welcoming and friendly staff. Food delicious, pizza night on Friday. Mediterranean feel. Highly recommend.

Excellent lunch thank you. There were 4 of us after 2pm on Sunday. One had lasagne, one an omelette and 2 of us had scampi and chips. Superb 😋

We recently stayed at Morland House and the Mill Yard Cafe was recommended to us by the owners. We were a group of 17 and pre-ordered wood-fired pizzas for our first evening, quite simply to save anyone having to cook! The pizzas were absolutely delicious, ready on time and the order was fulfilled perfectly, we can’t recommend enough! Thank you so much!

Paninis delicious here. Good choice of snacks and meals with some lovely specials. Also have fabulous cake & ice cream

Lovely cafe with friendly staff, right next to a picturesque river

A very busy cafe, for good reason. Excellent food and service. A nice menu to choose from. It also has a nice outdoor seating area. Definitely worth a visit

No vegan options. Didn't even bother going after looking at the menu. Shameful.

Can’t recommend this place enough x Invited friends from out of town to share Christmas lunch x they loved location x food x atmosphere x Thankyou so much Sarah & Robert x Fabulous as ever xx if you are in the area x make Mill Yard a must on your to do list xx

Favourite place for both a meal or a cup of tea, cake and a walk.

I love to make this the go to place, following a lengthy woodland walk....for their delicious cakes. Usually go with my Border Terrier, who is always made to feel welcome too n the outside patio area. The Carrot cake is divine....we love it there..

Fabulous breakfast!! What a great start to the day! Thanks 👍

Been here a few times when sraying with friends in Morland. What a gem of a place. Owners Rob and Sarah are lovely and friendly and produce the best food...it is no greasy caf thats for sure. The pizzas on Friday evening are amazing, don't be fooled by the size..9inch or 12inch.. they are plenty big enough. If you are in the area definitely go and visit.

Tapas for extended family of 14 ages 2-91. Excellent all round , we had upstairs to ourselves Extremely helpful staff going above and beyond to make the evening a success, even temporarily disabling the speaker for in-house music so that the hard of hearing amongst us could chat. 😊😊😊Thanks again.

Decided to follow a road sign on the off-chance yesterday. So glad we did. Lovely little cafe in an idyllic position. Having found a seat the owner polity asked if we would mind sitting upstairs as she had just taken a booking from a person with limited mobility. Glad they look after such customers. Absolutely no problem. Service was great, staff friendly and food was excelant. Lots of choice for my wife who is celiac.

Food was incredible, fast service, delightful service, could not have had a better experience, very clean, perfect price for what we ordered, highly recommend this hidden gem

Amazing food, fantastic service , atmosphere was perfect. Our first experience of tapas night. We loved it. Will definitely be back. Thankyou Sarah and Robert. Love everything about Mill Yard .

Yet again Rob, Sarah & team have knocked it out the park, my new second fave pizza is tuna, prawn & extra chilli - absolutely amazing! Thnk you so much 💖💖

Lovely breakfast and coffee. Staff really lovely

Great English breakfast with vegan and vegetarian options. Friendly personnel and great ambiance in a small yard. Very cosy. Scones were not that good though.

The problem, with the Mill Yard Cafe, is that there isn't one and a lot of people know that. I suggest you book a table, or you will end up looking in on the customers, enjoying the fare. The menu is varied and the specials board is changed regularly. I usually manage to get one of my 5-a-day there ( chips) and the staff put up with my rubbish jokes . Give it a try.

We (18 of us) were staying in the adjacent Morland House for a week and I was delighted to find that I could get a really good coffee just around the corner. The café is very popular and bookings are usually required for meals, but two of us were able to get seated for coffee and (amazing) chocolate cake. We found the staff very pleasant and efficient. The outdoor area has a great ambience and cool background music; indoors looked modern and comfortable too. Highly recommended.

A great start to the day with a visit to the Millyard Cafe for breakfast before heading for a walk in the Eden Valley, I have been here several times before and would recommend a visit

Called in for a breakfast treat, after strong recommendations from friends locally. We were there first thing Sunday as they opened, and we weren’t alone in waiting. A really lovely meal, in a fabulous location. Great service and food. Can’t wait to come back at other times.

Love this place. Food, service and ambience excellent. set in a lovely village, perfect for lazy summer days.

This cafe never disappoints - a local village cafe owned and run by local people. Service is friendly and food delicious and beautifully cooked. .

A wonderful cafe, always superb time and again!

A lovely place and the food was excellent and well served. Everybody was very polite and helpful especially when I tried to remember the name of a company from Morland I used to deal with over 30 years ago. The company was Survival Aids and my company AtlasAir used to import goods from the Far East for them.

A cute cafe located in the heart of a quaint little village! Ordered some hot drinks and it was so comforting on a cold winter day. The cups had really cute designs featuring the surrounding landscapes as well.

Lovely place! Very warm and cosy, the perfect spot for coffee and cake! Definitely recommend.

Really nice and friendly service with good coffee and excellent cakes.

Great value and friendly service Well done.

Wow! This was a fantastic dining experience and if you’ve never eaten here, then you are missing out. We booked for the Christmas menu meal and it’s difficult, if not impossible, to suggest any improvement. Our table was beautifully decorated for a Christmas meal with crackers and table decorations. It was a set menu with a choice for the three courses ( you could choose two courses). The soup was perfect and a great start to the meal. The smoked salmon and prawns starter was much appreciated. The main course of turkey with all the trimmings was chosen by all of us and four empty plates a short time later spoke for themselves. It couldn’t have been better. The Christmas pudding was cooked to perfection and disappeared very quickly! The service was first class and there was no rush with the staff working incredibly hard. The meal was extremely good value for money at £25 per head plus drinks. Car parking is close by. One cautionary note…if you have any mobility issues, request a table on the ground floor…the steps to the first floor are quite steep. This restaurant is highly recommended. Thanks to all the staff for making this visit a memorable one.

My wife and I tried to visit each week up to the end of November 2022. We are always treated by a friendly response. The meals , coffee and cake are always top quality at reasonable prices. We cannot wait until February 23 when we will return to Lowther holiday park for a new season and certainly return to Millyard Cafe. Brian & Janet

Lovely food. Very helpful staff

Always excellent service. Lovely food

The place itself was quite nice and luckily we’d visited when the weather was warm. Sadly the lady who greeted us when we arrived lacked warmth. We were seated outside which was okay. I was quite surprised as it was only mid morning and there was only one scone left?? The biggest let down though was the attitude of the lady who served us - sadly it turned out to be the owner. Maybe we caught her on a bad day who knows. She never once made us feel welcome or even managed to raise a smile! They call themselves “dog friendly” but sadly I didn’t get that impression as it was not stated on their website. In hospitality the least you can do is make the customer feel welcome and valued, sadly we felt neither.

Asked for small portion but it was miniscule. Tables and yard needs makeover. Tea undrinkable (tea leaves) prefer PG. Small coffee cup only filled half way with Americano. Won't go back.

Popped in this morning for breakfast on our travels. Really lovely place and comfortable seating next to the fire. Beautiful view over the river too. Food was really good (full English and a breakfast sandwich), tasty, a good portion size and the wait wasnt too long. The lady making the drinks and working the till was really lovely and friendly. Looking forward to visiting again for lunch.

Sat outside this great cafe enjoying some great relaxing music and ordered some wild mushrooms on a toasted English muffin with bacon and a cheeky fried egg to bring it together. Delightful. Autumn at its best. Couldn't be happier. Proper place, proper people, proper food. Well done.

Lovely little cafe hidden away in small village. Well worth a detour. Dog friendly. Good, friendly service. Excellent coffee! Good range of cakes etc.

I arrived at the cafe with my family (inc our 3yr old son) at 2:20pm after a long walk. We were hoping to get some lunch and the sign outside advertised serving food until 3pm. We were told by staff that we could only be served drinks and cake. We accepted we had arrived a little late in the day and so choose some cakes. We noticed that some other customers who appeared to be local to the village were being served lunch. A couple arrived at about 2:50pm as were getting ready to leave and ordered food from the lunch menu. We felt it was a real shame to pick and choose who to serve lunch to, surely all customers should be treated the same. We are also local, we live a few miles from the cafe but unfortunately although the food looked lovely, we won't be visiting again.

Excellent and gluten free selection too

When you visit the saxon church in Morland, do make time for refreshments at the Mill Yard (seating outdoors as well as indoors)   The small friendly cafe's nestled by the village stream on national cycle route 71, not far from Penrith The Eden Valley has...

A great place with the best flapjack in the Eden Valley (and probably the civilized world).

Best cheese scone ever. We came across this little gem two thirds of the way round a very challenging cycle ride, when we were desperate for sustenance. It was fantastic.

A little gem. Best cheese scone ever.

Booked a table for me, my husband, my brother and my 3 year old niece on pizza night. The pizzas are delicious and the service is great! My niece enjoyed her pizza so much she blew a kiss to the lovely lady who was serving us on the way out. We will definitely be back here very soon. Thankyou.

Amazing breakfast and lovely stroll round Morland house

Myself, 2 children and parents stopped off for breakfast before making the journey home from our Easter holiday. It had been an eventful morning to say the least, and we were all tired out. The hostess and her waiting staff were very kind and accommodating...

Lovely place in a nice setting, food is all freshly made and very nice all served by friendly staff, only slight downside it's quite expensive, but it's well worth a visit 👍👌

Friendly and welcoming. Lovely coffee

We visited this lovely place today (myself, my wife, my daughter and grandaughter) and were really impressed! Really friendly staff and atmosphere and lovely, spotlessly clean and homely place. We arrived around 11.30 ish and were greeted by Sarah who let us know they were...

Quality is how i describe the Mill Yard Cafe they use only the best ingredients. I definitely recommend the breakfasts and the pizza nights. The staff are really friendly and helpful to

Lovely atmosphere and great hosts. Pizzas were wonderful. Highly recommended.

The lunch was so good we went back for pizza in the evening. Gluten free fish and chips and Lasagne and chips for lunch that were amazing, followed by gluten free sticky toffee pudding and gluten free cheesecake. The evening meal was pizzas all round and they were so good. Spoke to the chef (maybe owner) who was very friendly and helpful regarding his Gluten free menu. Easy 5 stars.

Very accommodating even when busy. Good food especially the cake.

Amazing food and customer service. Well off the beaten track so there aren't too many people about which is nice. 5/5

Excellent cafe, in quiet location, with good food and staff. Nice place for a relaxed breakfast or light lunch

Great little spot, lovely coffee and cake.

Lovely authentic feel Italian restaurant We sat outside, the seating is comfortable, there is a good amount of cover from sun & a little rain. The garlic bread & pizza are tasty, they have lactose free cheese that was very helpful for a choice. The staff are friendly & attentive It is situated in a pleasant wee spot a few paces away from a small river over a bridge. I would definitely recommend this place and would go back if we were in the area again.

Staying nearby and popped in for breakfast, had the eggs benedict was absolutely amazing, cute little cafe and cakes to die for…would definitely recommend and will be back

Great food, would totally recommend.

One of my favourite places for lunch always excellent food and service

Had brill scones, lovely polite staff

We had a fantastic lunch here yesterday and will certainly be back. The location was lovely, set in a photogenic court yard in a pretty village. The service was excellent with attentive and welcoming staff. The menu was interesting, varied and very tasty. An example...

Local focal point. Rightly so. Excellent specialty coffee and good food.

Good food, small courtyard, nice, relaxed atmosphere.

Great food and very welcoming for cyclists. Very well organised to manage covid restrictions too. Helpful staff. 👍👍👍

Booked with Sarah to take the cycling club there today mid-ride after a climb up Great Dun Fell and before we came home via Kirkstone Pass. What a fabulous experience. Sarah made sure that everything was ready for us and the welcome and service were...

Really pretty village with this little gem of a café /restaurant. Cheerful helpful staff and a good varied menu. Tried four different dishes between us and everyone was happy. Nice selection of local bottled ales. Prices just right. Well worth a visit.

Very cozy please and delicious cakes 🤤

Amazing incredible place, in one of the most perfectly preserved village's in the UK. Cakes and coffee had to be the best we have had in the lakes so far.

Excellent food and service just love going there

Great service from friendly staff. Best lemon cake and good size pot of leaf tea.
