Singing Kettle in Craven

Really great family feel to this little gem of a cafe, staff were very friendly and welcoming (even though they were exceptionally busy) food was excellent I had the chicken burger and my partner had a tuna pannini both of which were excellent. Prices are very reasonable and this place is well worth a visit and we look forward to our next time

Both my son and I had the all day breakfast which was really well done. This is a small but well run cafe very popular with the locals as well as tourists (like me). Jamie and the team always make you feel welcome and there’s a relaxed vibe about the place.

First of all can I say what a warm welcome we got when we entered this absolutely amazing cafe the cafe is absolutely amazing and the customer service is absolutely fantastic too clean tidy amazing and the food is absolutely gorgeous I cannot say a negative about this cafe at all I got the shepherd's pie and veg with no gravy and it was gorgeous I will definitely recommend this cafe thank you so much we sat at table four well done guys the food is absolutely gorgeous

The best sandwiches I’ve tasted. Thank you. Bacon and sausage on toast plentiful and totally perfect. Very welcoming and cheerful staff. Clean and freshly made food. 1st class.

Today's visit disappointing. The food was excellent as usual but the interaction between the young man and lady serving was too personal to get overheard by the customers. We didn't need to hear about weight issues body piercings and girlfriends. Also the young lady spent a lot of time with a customers dog then lifted and served a scone without washing her hands. We reluctantly refused a dessert .

Stopped off to eat while on settle to Carlisle railway (amazing must travel on it) found this amazing cafe if you are there don’t miss out Great value Friendly staff

We return here whenever we’re in settle. It was a lovely autumn sunny Saturday but cold so we opted for the creamy vegetable soup and a roll. It is out of this world, the young lad behind the counter talking and serving the orders was doing a terrific job as well as cleaning tables when people had finished and left. I believe it was his mother upstairs sending all the delicious looking food down made to order. I’m not sure I should be writing such a good review as I’d rather keep this place to myself. It’s a gem of a find and later before crimbo they are bringing back the crimbo dinner. I had one last year and it did not disappoint, everything you have at home was there. Long may they keep going 👏👏👏👏

We had actually gone into a different cafe and after waiting half an hour with no service, left. We then happened on The Singing Kettle. We opted for the Yorkshire Ploughman’s and a ham sandwich. There was a bit of a wait for the food to be prepared but it was worth it. The sandwich was delicious and filling and my husband struggled to finish his Ploughman’s but ploughed on and thoroughly enjoyed it. The price for both was £13.50!! Terrific value. Staff were chatty and friendly. We were downstairs and that looked clean enough. I would definitely recommend and would certainly go again.

Came for lunch nice down stairs went to toilet Dog poo on the floor upstairs filthy ,Dog cage in the corner outside the kitchen with a dog in.

Amazing food. We sat outside-a bit busy with the passing traffic. Never mind it was well worth it. My omelette was one of the best I have ever had. Service was good too. Can't recommend too highly. Thank for lovely food and great service. You deserve success.

Best lunch I ever had costumer service quite good bathroom not the best but other great egg mayo sandwich and iron bru would happily come back by bringing my parents there

Lovely quirky little cafe in Settle, food made fresh to order. The choice of cakes etc was plentiful. Staff friendly and tentative. Definitely worth a visit, it wasn’t expensive so win win.

Easily found in the middle of Settle. Dog friendly and welcoming staff. Good choices on the menu from teacake to full meals. Only reason it's not a five is because the coffee was a bit bitter and the toilets are 2 flights up narrow stairs. However, would go back as the food was great and served with a smile.

With memories of my late brother-in-law who went to school in Settle, and needing a break on our wet journey to our holiday in the Lakes, we happened on this delightful place soon after parking the car. Unfortunately for us (and another couple who arrived just after us), we were just too late for anything savoury. However, we were made very welcome by the friendly staff, and there was a good selection of home-made cakes, as well as great coffee. Dog-friendly indeed, and there were some lovely doggies there, including the owners' dachsund puppy. Some of the staff obviously even shared our love of railways and trains, with some lovely pics on the walls.

Late lunch stop. Very reasonable prices lovely staff. Lovely one qwerty inside. We had two sandwiches with salad and crisps with a good pot of Yorkshire Tea. Just what the doctor ordered. The town is also very lovely

Great value for money with lovely staff! Can highly recommend the Yorkshire Ploughman's 👌 will definitely be coming again, it's well worth the journey just to taste the amazing ham!!

We pre booked the walkers pack lunch, in which we collected the morning of our walk and what an amazing pack up it was. Quality sandwiches of our choice, scone with jam/ cream both served in little pots. We also had a piece of homemade quiche, sausage roll and two beautiful pieces of home made cake with a packet of crisps and a hot drink. Cutlery was also provided.Plenty of delicious food to keep us going on our 10 mile walk and we were still finishing off some items the next day 😋. All too good to waste. Such lovely customer service, my sister is gluten free and usually has limited items offered when we are out. However not at the singing kettle, everything we were provided the lovely lady baked my sister a gluten free option for everything. She was so overwhelmed about this, so thank you to the amazing staff there. Would definitely recommend this cafe to everyone. 🥰

It was the best coffee we have in England. The owner Jamie knows how to make a good coffee and provide good service. The cafe has a nice ambiance and good food options.

A lovely little tea room in a nice location, the service was brilliant , even moving a table to make room for our pushchair. The two people running it on the day we visited were both friendly and made a real fuss of our sons....

After years of trying (no exaggeration), my son and I finally managed to visit the last team room in Settle we’ve not made it to before. It’s small (although there may be more room upstairs), but being off season, there were tables available. We both...

The food was lovely and was great value for money. Great service from the lady running the tearoom, very friendly even though she was busy.

Honestly one of the nicest places we have visited. We were visiting on a birthday weekend and it certainly did not disappoint. We had two hot drinks and hash browns. The owners little boy we presume was there called Reuben who was 7 we believe....

5 of us meeting for a pre Christmas lunch and passed by and there was a table free ! Cosy interior - unfussy but comfortable. Was very busy so took a little time to order but that gave us plenty of time to chat. A...

Great food great service also has extra seating upstairs reasonably priced centrally located will be calling again soon 👍

Visited this cafe numerous times,can be busy at times.... but,plenty of seating upstairs! Staff,always,very attentive & friendly! The food,for us,is very nicely cooked & delicious! Would certainly recommend,to people.

Visited today as was passing through Settle looking for a quick bite to eat. I had a breakfast and my partner had burger and chips. I can honestly say it’s one of the best breakfasts I’ve had! The price was more than half less than...

The food is delicious and plentiful and much less fussier than the nearby Naked Man. We were served by a very petite lady, who I'm certain was a scouser, and I don't think I've ever experienced customer service that good in my life. The lass...

After waking up aching from completing the Yorks 3 peaks. We decided a hearty breakfast was much needed and we were definitely not disappointed. The food was delicious and great quality. The staff friendly and extremely helpful. Highly recommend!!!

on a bus tour of the Dales we stopped off in Settle for couple hours... being a Sunday most places were closed so my wife and I opted for a lunch in the Singing Kettle... we werent disappointed... service and food was first class and...

Maybe it is because the young girl seemed to be on her own, but it took an age to get served, and then longer to get a coffee.

We had an awesome brunch here - vegetarian breakfast, omlette panini and bacon butter all went down a treat. Very reasonably priced and all delivered with a smile. Would male a point of coming again if we were close. Definitely recommend

The Singing Kettle is a very welcoming little cafe with caring and personable staff who simply could not do enough to please. They did and the food was superb! We will return.

we had a lovely snack at the cafe..staff was lovely ...food was good .. cheese to die for..cant fault it.. many thanx xx

fast service, very nice staff and welcoming. space upstairs. filling food. trad cafe food. privately run.

A great little Tardis like place in so much that it looks small from the out side, but over two floors so plenty of space inside, great food great service been a few time and will definitely come back.

Called in late afternoon after walking in hills above Settle. There was still a good selection of cakes and the service was very friendly. The coffee, hot chocolate and slice of chocolate cake were all very good.

When you pay, make sure you are given a receipt so that when they chase you down the street, accusing you of not paying, you can prove that you have.

they do hamburgers, chips, tea cakes etc. new ownership this year. pop in for a tea to warm yourself up

We arrived soaking wet after a walk that was rainy.Our welcome was sympathetic and friendly.Typical menu and standard furnishings. Even though we didn't have them, the cakes looked great.Soup and pannini both excellent. Tea, strong and a big pot. Just what we needed.

Friendly tea-shop with a good menu. You need to be able to climb two flights of steep stairs to get to the toilets but if you are cycling the Way of the Roses, that should be ok! Try the fruitcake with Wensleydale cheese! Water bottles filled up very willingly, even when they are camelbacks!Don't eat too much here if you are heading up *that* hill afterwards.

As a regular visitor to Settle sometimes on my motorbike or sometimes in my car. I would recommend the Singing Kettle whether it be just a takeaway coffee or sit-down meal you will always receive friendly service.

My friend and I met up in Settle and we were both pleased to see The Singing Kettle open under new management. We both had a small breakfast which included a tea or coffee which was perfect. They cater for vegetarian and gluten free. The manager could not do enough to help make his customers feel comfortable and nothing was too much trouble. We will definitely be visiting again.

Lovely family run business, great food at a good price with lots to choose from, we ordered a full english breakfast and a ham salad sandwich, they wete both excellent. Plenty of seating on two floors and friendly efficient staff, we will be back.

After a long, rainy walk we were desperate for hot drinks and a bite to eat. Good coffee and hot chocolate; tasty sausage sandwich, chips and cake!

Me and my husband visited here Saturday we loved going here before lock down visited regular. The menu is a shambles very limited choice £4.20 for cheese and ham toastie no side salad just a toastie on a plate. Staff said had changed owners clearly new owners aren’t local. This cafe was such a lovely place to get a homely cooked meal no breakfasts, no meals. I saw a sandwich been served £3.70 for a sandwich same again no crisps no side salad very expensive. Tables not been cleaned properly no wipe down of chairs, went to the loo looked in the kitchen where food was been prepared raw meat been left out, food unwrapped, flys flying round food. Cutlery was dirty. Very young staff working one young girl had a very bad attitude. Elderly man was wondering round asking if everything was ok never saw him wash his hands once presume he was the new owner didn’t look very professional. When going to the loo the kitchen is on the top floor there was food left out on work area not covered up, bought in Heinz soup, very untidy. This cafe has been ruined and it’s so sad, no previous staff working there that used to make the place a worthy place to visit it’s gone down hill. Cafe very quiet this is unusual for the singing kettle now we no why. Such a shame but avoid if possible nothing worth visiting for anymore this was the place to be.

Lovely little cafe after a nice walk around settle. Staff were polite and my other half was a huge fan of the cheese and ham toastie “best toastie I’ve ever tasted”

Went for breakfast but they are just getting back up and running. They did not have much going but the bacon sandwich and tea was nice. They are not doing Eat Out to Help Out so be aware, it caught us out.

I had lunch at this cafe today....noticed that only table tops were cleaned as customers left....not table edges and chairs etc. Also menus handed out and collected in without any wipe down in between..most were laminated, but not all. On the positive side i've been in this lovely cafe before and staff are always friendly and helpful....

On a trip to Scarborough. Stopped for breakfast. Seated straight away, not waiting too long for the food. Lovely fresh and local produce full English breakfast. Also great idea you do not see in a lot of cafes extra items can be added at a reasonable cost. Staff very friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Car park behind only £1.10 for an hour.

Friendly staff. Good prices. Used by the locals - always good for a laugh with some real characters.

Great traditional little cafe. Not pretentious, just a good down to earth cafe selling homemade foods and traditional meals. Great vale for money with lovely chatty staff who always make you feel at home and cater for your needs.My 9 year old daughter loves the homemade scones and hot chocolate.

I have visited this local business several times now. Reliable, friendly, affable staff. Just the place for a tea/coffee and a cake or a breakfast. Clean tables and nice selection of food and snacks at sensible prices. The downside is that it is small and only around 8 tables, but it is cosy which I like and therefore not too crowded or noisy if trying to read a newspaper. Toilets are a mountain climb up 2 flights of steep stairs to the very top and staircase is narrow with large steps, so not ideal for everyone. But the place has character and is worth a good review.l

Yorkshire hospitality at its best. A warm welcome for disabled customers especially. Home cooked food and tasty take aways. Good for a cuppa and a natter too.

Visited with some ‘biker’ friends and had lunch. I ordered the pork pie and peas and a friend had steak pie and chips. The chips were oven chips! The pie had been microwaved - pastry should be crisp and crumbly not like a soggy sponge!This is Lazy catering and shows very little respect for the customer.I think this cafe has changed hands recently - it used to be my ‘go to’ cafe in Settle, as the previous owners took pride in serving home cooked food; not ‘ding’ food!I will be trying another cafe next time. Very disappointed.

Whilst visiting settle we came in here for lunch what a find lovely food and pleasant staff my husband had the scampi and I had the large Yorkshire pudding with beef and vegetables the gravy was delicious a coffee for my husband and a pot of tea for me less than fifteen pounds very good value

Popped in here with over an hour to spare before our coach left. It was very busy and the two young girls serving downstairs were completely rushed off their feet. It took quite a while for our order to be taken of 2 coffees and 2 small breakfasts but we could see they were both very busy so that was fine. What wasn't fine is that several people were served before us and when we enquired it seemed our order hadn't been processed. We waited another age for our food, our coffees had gone cold by then. The breakfast left a lot to be desired. The beans and sausage and egg were tasty but the rest was a bit grim. My fried bread, pictured, was like a house brick. What annoyed me even more was that one of the waitresses was visited by some woman who was nattering on and on despite the poor waitress being clearly rushed off her feet. She even stood behind the counter with her bag leaning on the coffee machine. Not a great time to pop in for a chat!

I am really hoping that this was one off, we have been to this cafe many times before and have had lovely food but on this occasion I have to say the food was not the best, I had the steak pie with veg, the pie had been reheated in a microwave as the pastry was soggy, I must add the steak was beautifully cooked but the pastry spoiled it for me, the veg also tasted liked it was reheated in a microwave, the service was good and I have given only 2 stars as the cafe on this occasion did not live up to our previous visits

This a great local cafe, offering great value and freshly prepared food, we ordered poached egg on toast, and 3 perfectly poached eggs arrived for each of us, the staff are friendly, food is prepared to order, we'll definitely be back, outdoor seating available.

Lovely cafe, extremely friendly young ladies serving. Breakfast was amazing, ambiance typical of a Yorkshire town, with the locals packing the place out. Great Service, Great Prices..

Fantastic tea and lemon meringue. Super cafe and excellent staff. Value for money is amazing, in fact I think they really need to put their prices up! Far better than Costa, and less than half the price?!

We popped in to The singing Kettle for lunch before our train trip on the Settle to Carlisle railway and I’m so glad we did.

while in Settle I was looking for a light lunch and saw the Singing Kettle the prices looked cheap so I thought this would ben a light lunch, Jacket Potato and Baked Beans with a Pot of Tea for just over a fiver, when it arrived it was a large one and a plate full of salad, very good value, no wonder the place was busy.

Went on Sunday. Constantly busy. Great service with a smile. Could have had everything on the menu but settele for soup and crumble and my wife had a toastie. Great great and great. Incredibly cheap, it's not the ritz but its settle.

I visited the singing kettle today and was very disappointed with the food we waited 40 minutes for our meal and it was just warm the place was packed out but with only 2 staff a young girl and an older lady who I have to say were amazing apologising to all the customers for the service but it seem there had been a problem in the kitchen I eat here regularly so I no the food is better but feel there should of been more staff on at a weekday than there was unless I see more staff the next time I go I will be going elsewhere and lastly all praise to the to lovely lady’s that kept it open

Very welcoming and great for breakfast , light lunches and snacks. Two floors and often most tables taken. Great little cafe

Stopped off at the singing kettle over the weekend driving toward Lake District with my husband. The staff were polite efficient and extremely friendly. The food was delicious and as I looked around every table had empty plates!! We ordered steak pie, chips and mushy peas and couldn't fault it. We had tea for two and shared a delicious warm home made scone which was wonderful. The price was 'as cheap as chips!. Very happy and would love to stop off again anytime soon.It was lovely.

My wife and I called in to the Singing Kettle a number of times whilst on a week's holiday.

Called into the Singing Kettle for Sunday breakfast.

I visited mid January. The café was freezing, even the staff had woolly hats on! The tables are too close together. The toilets were up two flights of steep stairs next to the kitchen. The whole place needed a good clean including the pots our condiments were in. The hot bacon/sausage sandwiches were very nice. The soup how ever was not. It was hot, but, tasteless. It was salty water with carrots, peas and herbs in. The brown sliced bread was fresh and tasty. The presentation of the cakes was not inspiring. They need to check the spelling on the blackboard too!!

Called here over Christmas period whilst out on a family walk and found the food delicious and good value

We often pop in here whilst visiting family. The staff are always pleasant. The locals are very warming too. It is great for snacks and drinks etc...reasonably priced too

Popped in today 29 Dec as it looked like a traditional tea room and it certainly was - but also served generous portions of typical English food. I had a wonderful bacon roll which actually had a lot of bacon in and was cooked fresh -not like the usual chain shops with their portion control. Prices very reasonable and waiting staff friendly to strangers as well as the locals in there so don’t listen to the ‘odd’ miserable review.

Went today and ordered scampi and a breakfast. Waited for 35 minutes for our food while our drinks went cold. When we asked we were told our food was on its way. Three other tables had been served, one had eaten paid and left. After waiting some more we decided to leave. When we said we were going and we didn't think we should be paying for our cold drinks the waitress said "don't pay, just go, I didn't even know you had ordered, I don't know where your order went". I thought this was very rude, no apology at all. We won't be returning.

This vibrant cafe is situated right in the centre of Settle. There are 2 floors and the place has a fantastic atmosphere. The staff are very friendly and welcoming. There is a well varied menu catering for all, with home made cakes, along with traditional breakfast etc, but also home made specials.

We only popped in to the traditional cafe, Singing Kettle, for coffee as we were passing through Settle and needed a travel break. In honesty I'd have liked a stronger coffee. But it was a friendly and welcoming place and they let in dogs too, which is a bonus. Food going to other tables looked good so we'd definitely give it another go if in the area.

Excellent cafe. Quaint little place on the High street. Fantastic food. Very reasonably priced. Cafe situated on 2 floors. Very friendly staff. Dog friendly too. Would definitely recommend a visit.

Lovely little cafe, with a classic cafe/tearoom selection of food and drinks. The girls working here are very friendly and helpful especially the New Zealand lady 👍 Reasonably priced too.

This is quaint cafe in Settle bit run down but if you want great cheap food then this is the place for you for sure

When doing my MBA we studied world class companies that showed by delivering excellent customer services your business thrives. This cafe fits into this category. I phoned the day before to say one of our party could not have a cooked breakfast and could he have some porridge. It wasn't on the menu but the owner said he would go and get some for us. On the day service was friendly and prices reasonable. As for the food the cooked breakfast was freshly cooked and hearty portions whilst I believe the porridge was georgous. Even the pot of tea was very good. When in Settle again we will certainly eat here again

6 hungry lads suitably full after one of the best value fry ups ever. Lovely warm welcome. Will go there again; that’s for sure.

Friendly staff, the furnishings look a bit dated but the food is very good and plentiful. There is seating upstairs but the stairs are narrow, shallow and steep but don't let that put you off.

I loved this little cafe in the middle of Settle because it delivered on all counts. We visited on grey rainy day and just stopped for a toasted teacake and a drink.

Having walked out of the Golden Lion across the road in disgust at their treatment of my wife and I it was like a breath of fresh air to be warmly greeted and served straight away by smiling, helpful staff.

Went in search of a much needed breakfast to star tour day, and we went here based on reviews we saw online.

After a long morning's walk, one Saturday (1st Sept) we drove to Settle for a wonder. We we're looking for somewhere to stop for a cuppa and cake. Came across the Singing Kettle. Decided on a cream tea, with peppermint tea, at a little extra cost. Our experience was great. I agree with some reviewer's, staff aren't the most friendly/smiley around.

We was visiting the plant pot festival and needed food we chose here .I opted for the cottage pie with veg and [a pot of real gravy ] the menu said ,my wife chose quiche and salad and daughter chicken sandwich .the upstairs is very dated and shoddy with wallpaper coming away in parts and lots of cobwebs on ceiling.the food came and was very nice no complaints at all I for dessert ordered a portion of apple pie thinking it was home made but it was a mass produced pie and the pastry was nearly raw so that was not nice at all .They only take cash something we didn't know so ended up one of us having to rush off to cash machine

We recently visited Settle when touring the Yorkshire dales and arrived at the Singing Kettle ready for a late breakfast. The 'Big Breakfast' is exactly has described very large and generous but more than that the quality of the cooking was outstanding. A delicious start to the day. The café is modest and unpretentious but has friendly, welcoming staff. Don't miss it.

Myself and 3 friends visited the Singing Kettle this morning and found ourselves incredibly disappointed. The waitress who served us was rude, told us to be quiet whilst discussing the menu (quietly, amongst ourselves) whilst another in our group was ordering. Despite the silence when ordering, our order was mixed up and one of the group received a bacon roll instead of sausage. Furthermore, the flapjack cost £1.70 and was not much bigger than a 50 pence piece- we found we could purchase two matchbox-sized flapjacks for £1 at the co-op down the road. On top of all this, when our food arrived, the waitress demanded, “move girls” and slammed the plates down infront of us. All in all was thoroughly disappointed that a peaceful and enjoyable weekend in Settle came to an end at this unwelcoming cafe. Good sausages though.

If you want a good big full English go here. If you want a good soup and a sandwich go here. Dog friendly with very nice staff. Enjoy!

My family and I all had a large breakfast here today and it was great and very filling.Staff were nice and service was good and quick as Well,very reasonably priced,would definitely recommend.

Had the large breakfast before getting the train. And it was probably the best priced breakfast ever. I would seriously recommend this cafe to anyone who is visiting settle or passing through.

We were on the way to visit friends and as it was a rainy Sunday morning (and hubby's usual thing is browsing car boot sales) and as we couldn't follow hubby's favourite pastime we decided to go for breakfast on the way. I remembered this place but wasn't even sure it would be open but we made the detour into Settle from the main A65 just to check and lo and behold the lights were on (apparently it can be anywhere between about 8.30 and 9am even on a Sunday dependent on the weather). Hubby plumped for the large breakfast (2 of everything) and I went for the small breakfast (1 of everything), both were really nice and the items all very nicely cooked. If I have one "downer" about it - it doesn't include toast, which we realised when we had started eating so asked for a couple of slices each which came very quickly (we were the only ones in there eating though). The mugs of coffee were lovely too, came with hot milk in a jug. And all this for £13.70 which to me seemed a really good price. I would definitely recommend this place, the owner is really nice and helpful.

Popped in before doing the settle to Carlisle run. Big breakfast dpot on and so nice the get something tasty but simple like poached eggs on toast. Good coffee not a strong as I would like but I do drink strong coffee. Great prices. Hallelujah some where that serves a chip butty. Be back later

We wanted breakfast before heading out on the railway for the day and this was the first place we came across.

Such a cute cafe and breakfast was lovely and so cheap deffo be returning when we revisit Settle in August. I fancy the tea and cake 😀

Used the Singing Kettle for lunch on a day trip. Good menu catering for most palates. Proper food! Cottage pie, baked potatoes. Not an extensive menu, but still had variety. Not all home made, rice pudding definitely from a tin, but then it doesn't claim to be. VERY reasonable prices, good service.

Went for lunch, food and service was excellent. What you should get when you eat out but sadly far too often don’t. Would highly recommend

We were in settle today. Picked the kettle for a coffee. Service with a smile. Next time we will have a proper meal. Fruit cake was good and prices are unbelievably low.

We came here as a group of 7, we had a gorgeous breakfast! Even perfect for us two fussy vegetarians. The waitress on shift today (14/07) was fabulous! She always had a smile on her face and was very helpful. We will definitely be coming back during our holiday to settle.

This is quaint cafe in Settle bit run down but if you want great cheap food then this is the place for you for sure
