Great coffee, homemade scone and tasty chocolate cake. Lovely staff but can see why some reviews a little negative. No-one with experience and authority to take ownership of the customer experience. Still, we look forward to returning.

Gone very expensive. Changed our order of a brioche bacon roll to bacon in toast. We were then charged full price for the brioche bun bacon sandwich then £2.95 for 2 slices of toast on top. So that was nearly £6 for 4 slices of bread. No wonder the place was empty. Have to say the sandwich was very nice, but beware of messing around with the menu.

I am a regular. I do feel staff feel like they do you a favour by serving you. I sometimes go in 90 minutes before closing time. Often being told I can’t sit on the comfy chairs upstairs. Therefore having to sit on hard cafe chairs downstairs. Today I went in 16:25. Hoping for a coffee. Being told they stop serving at 16:30. Obviously they were in a rush as all cakes, scones etc were cleared away. Customer service is awful. Food is nice though

Stopped in for lunch, £17.95 for a burger & fries, no garnish, no salad just a plain old burger is ridiculous for a cafe! It wasn't even very good, the chips were awful, burnt & greasy. A can of coke £3.50, nearly sent it back, though I was getting a draught pint.

The food here would be ok at a certain price point however £17.95 for a mediocre burger with overdone frozen fries is ridiculous, not even a garnish to soften the blow. Then to charge £3.50 for a can of diet coke left me feeling like I'd been mugged. To put this into context, this place is more expensive than many of the nicer restaurants and bars in the local area for food which is well down the pecking order. With all of our meals, the fries served with two and the chips served with another were overdone to the point of being inedible, the burger was ok however shaped like a cricket ball, too thick and at the same time of a small diameter making it difficult to eat and most of the experience had me chewing at an empty bread roll. The service was good though and the only reason I've been generous enough to give two stars.

My husband & I were traveling from Scotland to the Lake District and thought we'd pop in for some lunch. We both ordered sandwich with salad, coleslaw and crisps( no cutlery) tea and a piece of cake each, which was average. When I went to pay the bill I was utterly flabbergasted at the total cost of £37 for sandwiches!! I know we're all going through a so called cost of living crisis but this was just a rip off You are going to lose an awful lot of customers going by other feed back which I previously read. Think your prices need a serious revamp!! Won't be back!

Called at 2.30 this afternoon. A guy showed us to our table, sat us down and we never saw him again. My mam went to the counter to ask for a menu and was told they were really busy due to a large group, but to sit down they wouldn’t be long. Fair enough. Sat for 15 minutes, no one came to take our order. Showed 2 other tables in & sat them down. The ladies on the table next to us got their second coffees they asked for, still never even looked at us. Then proceeded to take orders from the tables that had just come in. We sat patiently waiting for 30 minutes then got up and walked out. Was a regular visitor here but unfortunately we won’t be coming back. It obviously depends on who you are as to weather you can be served or not. Very disappointed

Popped on route to Carlisle this morning. We asked for 2 sausage baps and 2 cans of pop and was told it would be £24.00. I asked how much the sausage baps were and was told £8.50 each (fair enough) but surely it wasn’t £7.00 for two cans of pop? I pondered if I was being a tight so and so, but no! These are ridiculous prices. I walked out not knowing if I was embarrassed or angry!

The food is ok. The service is slow. We have visited a number of times. What lets the place down badly is the cleanliness of the toilets. On visiting one week apart, once for lunch and once for breakfast the toilets were in need of a thorough clean. I suggest, like most places nowadays, hourly inspections and a good wipe round. This aspect lets the place down.

Wow we were shocked at the extortionate prices!! My wife and I have been here many times before over the last few years but on this occasion we were totally taken back by the incredibly high price for two fairly basic “snacks” - £28.90 for two farmhouse sandwiches and two tins of Fanta! I fully appreciate that everyone has to make a living but this is nothing short of daylight robbery!! Staff were nice and food quality was decent but I’m sorry at these inflated prices we won’t be back.

Disappointing service today. A simple order for a couple of lattes and a scone seemed to be an issue. TBH a place like this should never run out of scones - at any time of the day, but it was today - and not for the first time. The young lass took the order - and in robotic fashion and with eyes rolling up to the ceiling - instructed us that there were none left. Not that there would be some ready in 10 minutes or so, but none left. End of! As we basically came up from Carlisle for a coffee and a scone, that seemed to be out the window. I passed on the scone and ordered a latte on its own, my wife also opted fir the latte with a cake. The order appeared minus a latte, which appeared over 10 minutes later (just as we were picking up our jackets to walk out). The quality of the coffee was simply awful, which is unusual, although this isn't the point here. The staff on duty were (as far as I could see) entirely young lasses of school age working part time. The last thing I would want to do is criticise them for doing their best and trying to earn some pocket money while they can. Fair play to any of these kids that are keen to get a foot on the ladder of their working life. So I won't criticise them at all. Those who seem to think it is acceptable to let these youngsters deal with customers at the front of the business ARE to be criticised. If we wanted a basic snack, with a coffee you know will be of a certain standard, we would have jumped into Greggs! It would be half the price, and you know what you're going to get. The standard at Orton Grange is clearly dropping. The owners should take responsibility, not the youngsters that are out thete trying their best. One star awarded. Poor service. Poor quality.

Having been several times in the past, this turned out to be a disappointing visit. Such a shame because it’s a countrified cafe above a delightful shop, with a superb Cranstons deli serving fresh farm produce right next door. Two of us required gluten free food; unfortunately little gf available, unless you wanted a slice of gf cake. Generally, we felt the food was overpriced and ended up having coffee and two snacks between us. Surprised to see an Afternoon Tea for Two, with Prosecco, at £68. This is high considering Afternoon Tea for Two at the Ivy (minus Prosecco) is £60 and Bottomless Prosecco Afternoon Tea for Two at The Mayfair Lounge (The Cavendish) in London is £67.50. A closer to home valuation at Armathwaite Hall offers a traditional afternoon tea, no Prosecco, for £63. The latter venues are stylish and white table cloth affairs; silver service, so to speak. So, I fail to understand the price of a similar offering at Orton Grange. The waitrons were friendly and efficient, no complaints there.

What a disappointment! The menu is not as good as it used to be and the prices are just stupid for what you get. On principal, we could not bring ourselves to spend such money for basic food, so in the end we ordered three coffees, a scone and a teacake. That came to just over £18 and there wasn’t anything special about any of it. Virtually no gluten free options either . Apart from carrot cake and the usual boring offering of a brownie and a flapjack. A burger I think was £17, quiche or a baked potato was £13.50, Breakfast was £14.50, afternoon tea for two was £65. We had just come from Dobies where it was getting busy in the cafe and Orton Grange was virtually empty, at lunch time. Hmmm…. Sorry, but for the same quality food we’d rather go to M&S or Pioneer cafe and pay less, or pay the same prices and head to a nice pub or restaurant. This place is trying to be something it isn’t. It’s not Mainsgill farm shop cafe or Burford Garden centre cafe. One star goes to the friendly staff. Such a shame because we did enjoy having lunch here a number of times.

My main course today was probably the worst I have bought in a long time. I ordered the festive roast turkey slices etc in Yorkshire pudding. The Yorkshire pudding was not freshly made and I can only assume it was bought it. I expected the turkey slices to be carved off a turkey but instead they were what I might call processed sandwich turkey. The sausages in bacon were too tough to eat. The whole lot was topped with a massive amount of undercooked chips. The whole dish was most unappealing to look at. I picked at it as I was hungry. The stuffing was ok as was the small amount of cranberry sauce. I begrudged paying for it as it was a very poor meal. The passion fruit cake and the pot of tea were fine. Pat Sweeten 231123

We are local and have eaten here often. Today’s experience wasn’t as good as previous visits. Order was taken promptly. The food was ok despite being given a toastie rather than a sandwich, which I didn’t return as my companion would have been eating on their own. Following our meal we planned to order two cakes and two coffees, however our lunch plates weren’t cleared away for well over an hour by which time we decided against having coffee and cake. We could have asked for the plates to be cleared but we wanted to see how long it would be before they were cleared! When the plates were eventually cleared away we weren’t asked if we would like anything else. The cost for a jacket potato, a sandwich and 2 drinks was £28.00. However we saved ourselves £10 plus by not taking the coffee and cake.

We're local and called in for breakfast. Ordered 2 breakfast baps and 2 brews. Food was OK. Bacon a bit flabby and served in sweet brioche which seemed odd. When I got to the till, I was asked for just shy of £32. After establishing that the lass was actually charging me for the correct meal, she itemised it for me. £10 per butty!!!! And an extra £2.50 for an egg. That's a fiver for an egg each!!!!!!! I should have scrutinised the menu more thoroughly before ordering. Had I done so, I'd have left and gone elsewhere - Dobbies accross the road do an excellent 7 item breakfast for about a quarter of the price.... we'll stick to that. Just as a footnote, normally on a Saturday at 10.30, it's very difficult to get a seat at Orton Grange however, it was sparsely populated on arrival and we had a choice of tables. People are clearly voting with their feet.

Arrived at the cafe, waitress asked where we wanted to sit. I pointed out a vacant table at the window- nope, it's reserved. We should have left then, but we were seated in the middle of the restaurant. Ordered breakfast and swapped one item for another - that will cost extra, I was told. Fair enough, but £2.50 for an egg? The food is okay, but overpriced for what you get. Having said that, the ciabatta was so hard I could not cut it. Tea is free with breakfast before 10am, we arrived at 10:10 - £3.20 for a cup of tea, so that 10 minutes cost an additional £6.40. Had to ask for my extra egg, had to ask for teaspoons, service was pretty poor in my opinion. Very pretentious for the levels of service vs prices charged. We won't be back (even though I got the feeling that we were regarded as foreign/tourists due to my accent - in truth we live 15 minutes away)

The cafe serves consistently good food, where portions are smaller than in other similar facilities; which is good. The coffee is decent, as is the tea. Parking is excellent, and they now have re-charging points for electric cars, where there is plenty of room for larger vehicles. They staff are polite and they listen, which is more than you find in some similar facilities; the staff are lovely.

The chips were over fried. The food was over priced for mediocre quality. Wasn’t going to say anything about discovering a hair on the breakfast, but the waitress asked if everthing was ok when I went to pay, so I told her. She was stroppy about it, said we should have said and they would have replaced breakfast - given my partner found it in the egg nearing the end of the meal, not sure he could have stomached a second. They did refund the drinks, but waitress had a total attitude that I had said there was an issue when she asked if everything was ok. Bit of an odd customer service strategy. Won’t be going back there. Crofton Hall/Moota Garden Centre/Dobbies Garden Centre much better service and value for money for anybody looking for something nearby.

Outrageous prices never before seen the likes of this in this area. I know things are expensive at the moment but this is beyond a joke. No other local place is this expensive.

Met a friend for coffee and cake. Sat upstairs on one of the comfy sofa's. It's a long time since I've been here. But would definitely go back.

A lovely cafe and set in a great butcher's shop Cranston's one of the best in Cumhria. Hence the food is top notch and the service is excellent plus lots of room between tables.

As a regular that lives close by I will always come back to orton grange as the staff keep the facilities in excellent condition (despite certain customers who are less than respectful) A must visit x

One staff member exceptionally rude. Not child friendly, considering through the door to a baby/kids swim school. Used to come on a weekly basis but food now over-priced and some staff exceptionally rude. Avoid.

Considering the cafe is right next to a baby/kids swim school, not child-friendly. Some exceptionally rude staff and overpriced food. Avoid. Cranstons and gift shop are great.

Oh dear! It’s a little while since I’ve been here and I certainly won’t be rushing back! The homemade quiche had a very soggy bottom, the homemade coleslaw was cut far too fine, it was just mush, the salad was minimal and were the tattie...

We visited on a Sunday at 2.45 pm thinking we had at least an hour for a quiet drink and a chat. We were told we only had 40 min though they closed at 4 as we had checked the website . Service was quick...

We walked in on the Saturday night yo make a reservation for Sunday lunch the following day. We wanted to refuel after day 1 of Hadrian's Wall, we are raising money for our local hospice to purchase a cuddle bed. Staff on Saturday were friendly and it was easy to book. We returned on Sunday after our walk for lunch. We all enjoyed the beef dinner and a few of us had pudding. We had chosen this spot as the football was on, we ended up staying most the afternoon!

Stopped here while travelling back up the road to Scotland. Food is basic but you don’t expect much from a Brewers Fayre. Jam roly poly for dessert was extremely dry with a distinct lack of jam within which was a shame.

Normally come here for dinner thought we would try coming in for the bottomless breakfast and all I can say is I was very dissapointed never again, no bacon, cold sausages, luke warm baked beans, hash browns solid could break a window with one, eggs looked mouldy when asked we were told it was the coating on the pan the "chef" behind the counter had a big attitude problem towards my family when we asked for some white bread for toast and if there would be any more bacon I don't know what the problem was but we certainly will not be back any time soon.
