Post Box Pantry in Eden

Before making the hike up to High Cup Nick (must do!), we stopped in at the Pantry and Janice made up sandwiches to take with us. Lovely. Then when we came back down, a little weary, perfect coffee and home made sponge cake was waiting for us. Thanks for looking after us Janice.

A bustling little café in the heart of the village. Both my partner and I had the All Day Breakfast while waiting for the rain to pass. The best bacon I've had in years. Friendly service and free wifi.

AMAZING ALL DAY BREAKFAST! Called in with my dog today after walking Dufton Pike. The place seems popular with locals (which is always a good sign). Food was lovely and piping hot. The sausages and bacon were obviously locally sourced and NOT from the supermarket ! Very tasty thank you.

Great cafe with homemade food. Delicious food and great service. Nice view of the fells, eat inside or out. Very reasonable. ☕️

Cute little character cafe run by local lady with family popping in and out. A really lovely experience and delicious fresh and expertly home made food. Eat outside or in, gorgeous views of the fells.

Great little spot for lunch! Really friendly staff. They are dog friendly inside or out and even had some treats and a water bowl. We order paninis which were great. They also had nice coffees and was really reasonably priced

On a long drive up to Scotland with parents decided to forego the delights of service station food and headed off the A66 to Dufton and the Post Box Pantry. What a little gem it is too. Parents had the breakfast roll which was stuffed full of yummy bacon, sausage, egg and tomatoes and kept them going for the rest of the day. Lovely views from the cafe as well. Very good value. Looking forward to our next visit when we’re up that way again

Good portions of food at reasonable prices. Made sandwiches to take away and they put a biscuit in there which was a nice surprise.

Wasn't sure what supplies this shop would have - intended to buy bread and milk but it is a cafe. Owner happy to make us up sandwiches to order, with a flapjack and fruit scone. She also let us have some of her milk (we were camping in the nearby site and had run out). The cafe was busy at 1030 and all day breakfasts were a popular choice. Excellent service and helped us out with emergency milk rations. Think the cafe is open 1000-1600 and closed Thursdays.

A lovely, cosy, friendly place to stop for refreshments. We all enjoyed the coffees, teas and cakes. Thank you.

When you visit Dufton, do make time for refreshments at the Postbox Pantry (seating outdoors as well as indoors to enjoy the view)   The small friendly cafe's nestled by the village green at the base of the Pennine Hills and near to/on at least three national cycle routes not far from Appleby.  It's also on the Pennine Way.   Dufton means "the farmstead where the doves were kept". It is mentioned in documents as far back as 1176 and 1291.  Dufton has an artists weekend in July followed by the Fellside Agricultural Show & Sheepdog trials in August. The Eden Valley has many interesting walks and villages, including Morland - famed for its annual choristers camp which meets during the first week of August (7 miles from Dufton, half way to Penrith) 

We popped in after a walk (two adults and two teens) - great find, friendly service, nice scones with proper clotted cream, and good cakes with a delicious pot of tea. Clean and well kept. Latte coffees better than one normally finds in little local tea shops. Worth a visit if passing by.

What an amazing find. Will definitely be back . Dog friendly was such a bonus . The cream scone was served with delicious cream and jam ⭐️

What a lovely and cozy cafe! We were on the way to the famous High Cup Nick, therefore needed a boost right before the trip. Amazing home made cakes and very good value. Would suggest anybody who plan for the hiking trip! 7min walk to the High Cup Nick starting point.

A very useful little stopping point - either on a long walk or a long bike ride. We were a group of 6 which slowed things down a bit... Lots of choice for people that eat bread & cake .... but not so for anyone needing to avoid gluten.

Lovely tea and home made cake and flapjack. All served by friendly staff. Definitely recommended after a day on the Pennine Way. Currently only open 4 days a week.

Really friendly service, good coffee and excellent cake! Stopped after riding up Great Dun fell - really lovely little place

Our walking group found shelter plus first class tea & cakes at this friendly and reasonably priced cafe.

We called here as we were staying locally. The breakfast two of our party had were really good and the apple crumble portions were massive! The owners can also advise on where the walks start from so you don't get lost!

Beautiful views here so sitting outside is recommended on a nice day. Service wasn’t lightning fast but was friendly and helpful.

Eat here during a recent visit to Dufton and had a very good dining experience at breakfast time. The full English Breakfast is highly recommended and the service is superb and always with a smile. Wide range of options and highly recommended.

Viajaba por la zona a fines de mayo, tenía que detenerme en Dufton y no dudaba que este era el lugar para detenerse. Es lindo que, después de un año, te recuerden.Así que una pequeña cafetería, con asientos dentro y fuera de la puerta, en el Green at Dufton. Tés, cafés, un surtido de bebidas frías. Torta, hamburguesas (?), Desayunos todo el día, tartas, bocadillos y tartas.Buen servicio enérgico, un ambiente hogareño, precios justos. Regresaré - por los pasteles. (¿Mencioné los pasteles?)

Visitamos el salón de té hace un par de años y tuvimos una buena experiencia, así que volvimos durante un paseo cercano.Disfrutamos de un sándwich, huevos revueltos en tostadas y algunos bollos de frutas. Servicio muy amable y con mucho espacio para aparcar.Hay algunas mesas en el exterior, así como un número en el interior.Una buena parada para los numerosos paseos cercanos, incluidos los circuitos de Dufton Pike y Knock Pike.

Dufton es un pueblo encantador y tranquilo, en la ruta de Pennine Way, y rodeado por un hermoso país para caminar, que incluye campanillas y bosques alfombrados. Dirijo un grupo de U 3 A y caminamos cerca de Dufton regularmente. Post Office Pantry es una pequeña y acogedora sala de té cerca del aparcamiento del pueblo. Siempre disfrutamos nuestros refrescos después del paseo, usualmente sentados afuera a la luz del sol, con hermosas vistas de los bosques. Es una empresa familiar y muy acogedora, con deliciosos pasteles y bollos, que incluyen opciones sin gluten. Estamos ansiosos por nuestra próxima visita.

Great little place to sample a really nice full English breakfast or some very tasty home baked cakes. Recommended

Lovely little place for coffee and cake, with terrific views in a quiet village. Seems to be a popular stop for walkers passing through the village. The lady in charge is always very friendly and helpful.

I called in whilst walking in the area a few days ago. A nice, cosy little place, but with extra seating outside. A simple cafe but still offering a good choice - the cakes are homemade. The 'all-day breakfast' looks attractive.

Perfect stop for cake and coffee before we attempted Great Dunfell on our road bikes. Easy to pull up with the bikes, lovely view of the radar station from the cafe. The Victoria sponge was sublime, a real baked with love cake! PS we made it to the top - fuelled by your cake!

Was working in the area. The cafe was open,the lady in charge made a lovely bacon sandwich for me. What a treat. Will call again

We were unable to eat at the Stag so we managed to get some food here. The best sandwiches and chocolate cake (we were unfortunate to arrive just after they closed the grill before closing time) so could not get a burger which i am sure would have been fantastic. Thank god for this place otherwise we would not have had dinner!

Visited for a drink why had a walk round, was absolutely beautiful place. Very friendly and fantastic prices, will definatley return for food next time! Thank you 😍

Paré aquí en mayo para té y pastel mientras una larga distancia. Un café muy amable - anteriormente, creo, la oficina de correos del pueblo, enclavado en el pueblo verde en Dufton. Bueno, rápido y servicio amable. Una taza de té y un buen bonito Piece of Cake. Habiendo sido desde tempranas horas era una tentación para tener el desayuno durante todo el día", que suena bien. Es un lugar ideal para conocer gente después de un paseo.

Encontré este pequeño café está ubicado en los pueblos a los pies de la pennines por accidente. No estoy seguro de que recibir muchos ciclistas llamando, ya que principalmente se agrupan alrededor de hartside. Esta es una joya de lugar y mientras yo sólo tenía una merienda volveré a probar el desayuno durante todo el día.

friendly and welcoming staff have had breakfast in the past which was very good just drinks on this occasion - you must try a 'Dufton Pike Delight' a great place to sit outside with a pot of tea after a long walk in the area

There were lots of cyclists here when we dropped in for brunch before walking round Dufton Pyke - I asked for the sausage roll, the waitress then checked whether I expected it to be sausage in pastry or a bun, I said I didn't mind which, she said they hadn't had the pastry ones in yet, but she could do one in a bun which I was very happy to have and it was delicious, meaty, herby sausage and plenty of it, set us up for our walk very well!

Excellent value cooked breakfast, tea , coffee and selection of cakes and desserts . Friendly atmosphere

Es un lugar genial ... nos estaban empapados y aún así nos dieron una cálida bienvenida del personal y los clientes, la comida era excelente y recomiendo encarecidamente

Lo que un lugar pintoresco encantador para visitar. Teníamos a nuestro perro con nosotros y la señora que nos brindó restos de tocino. Teníamos chocolate caliente y café y bollos de tarta. Todo estaba delicioso.

Idealmente situado para aquellos lento por el Pennine Way o similar en la zona, ofrece la correos despensa casa tradicional comida casera en un ambiente agradable. Hay una junta de especialidades diarias que pedí la hamburguesa servido con ensalada. Generalmente, el menú ofrece sándwiches tostados, patatas de la chaqueta y tales y hay una buena variedad de bebidas a su disposición. En un día agradable, hay asientos al aire libre para relajarse mirando hacia las montañas y el resto del bonito pueblo de Dufton. Los precios son muy razonables y el servicio es bueno. Lo recomiendo.

Called in here for breakfast at the end of a visit to The Lakes. Wish I'd discovered it sooner! Had a full English breakfast and it was excellent! Especially the bacon! It's always good to know that local, fresh produce is used and this was evident by the quality of the food. Would definitely call here again if I'm around the Dufton area.

We have stayed in Dufton a few times now and always make sure we visit here for breakfast! Janice is so welcoming and makes all the food from scratch, the bacon is amazing. She also makes the most delicious baileys cheesecake I have ever tasted,in fact we had some one day and bought more for the next day! It's a lovely place to sit for a while and chat to the locals who pop in here too. A handy little shop that sells souvenirs and bits and bobs of shopping. Thanks Janice, you really made us welcome and we can't wait to come back.

Called in for a late lunch and had a full english with toast, everything you needed and an excellent price and obviously uses local produce not wholesale sausage I am glad to say.

Having dropped in a couple of times now I highly recommend this place, the location is most relaxing and even more so on a nice day, where you can sit outside and enjoy the view across to Dufton Pike and beyond to the Pennines. The hot chocolate was more than welcome on my first visit with ample cream and marshmallows thrown in for good measure! The full English breakfast is fresh and clean with plenty of toast, far removed from your average 'greasy spoon' breakfast this one is complemented by locally sourced meat, I believe the burgers are also of a very high standard, I'm saving that for my next visit! Overall this is a reasonably priced pleasant little spot for any passer by or walker to drop in for a spot of refreshment and a warm welcome.

Stopped in one Sunday morning with a friend for a full english breakfast. Made to feel welcome and the food arrived quickly - two eggs, bacon, sausages, mushrooms, tomatoes and beans along with a plate of toast. The food was clearly cooked fresh to order and the bacon and sausages were of high quality. Outclasses any hotel breakfast buffet and at half the price. Highly recommended.

Cheesecake is to die for - the pantry is a great place for a treat after a long walk. Highly recommend!

A fantastic menu full of locally sourced food. Delightfully tasty and would definitely go back. Everyone is very pleasant and friendly. Highly recommend!

Just called in for an all day full english, local suppliers used and great value. Highly recommended.
