Staff were so friendly, welcoming, bubbly and warm, they really made our experience when they were having a laugh and bantering with customers. The food was delicious, really good portion sizes and reasonably priced. Didn't have to wait long at all for service, drinks or food. We are so glad we decided to try this place before we left Cockermouth to return home. We even asked to take some scones with us for when we got home.

Squirrels Pantry is a nice little cafe about 200 yards from the A66 with free parking and adjacent to a garden centre. Having an atrium roof and being situated in a wood adds to the appeal. I enjoyed my visit to Squirrels Pantry, the waitress was very friendly and the price of the meals were highly competitive, with many under £10. I had an omelette, chips and salad, which came to £ 8.95, and a generous sized capuccino to wash it down. My meal was good value and enjoyable and it seems the staff know many of the customers by name, which suggests a loyal clientele. I would recommend Squirrels Pantry to anyone visiting Cockermouth as it is cheaper than many of the town centre eateries. Note- the cafe only takes cash payments.

Located adjacent to Oakhurst Garden Centre, this small cafe snugly nestled amongst the greenery / forest. Good parking spaces & the cafe is a large glazed atrium giving max natural daylight. Service was good, very friendly. We arrived at 11.20 & had the benefit of the breakfast menu (finishes 11.30) & brunch. I had a bacon sandwich & my wife had chicken tikka sandwich, both were better than your average snack / sandwiches. There is also a large selection of cake which we took away. A lovely little cafe.

My first visit, unfortunately I was served by a lady who was grumpy, unwelcoming, and simply not friendly, first impressions etc. No idea how to make a flat white, had the appearance of a latte, tasted average. The cake was nice, generous portion. As I was about to leave I went to pay, cash only, I was told, luckily I did have some cash with me which is unusual for me, not their fault the machine wasn't working, but why not mention to customers as they walk in that it's cash only to avoid potential problems.

We called in, in the hope of seeing red squirrels, which, unfortunately, are no longer around, but were very happy to discover this hidden gem. A warm welcome, attentive and speedy service and lovely food compensated for our initial disappointment.

We visited after seeing the sign outside advertising their scones. However once we went inside, we realised the whole place looked run down. I couldn't use the gents toilet outside as the stench from within was unbearable. We only ordered a cup of tea, but to be honest that was very average. At over £2 a person it should be quality tea. The teapot had an old stain running down the front of it, one of the cups was grubby and there were crumbs over two of the chairs. We will not be returning.

He querido visitar aquí durante años, pero nunca lo hice. Me alegro de que finalmente lo hice. Fuimos en un día cálido y soleado y nos sentamos en la zona de estar del patio. Observé a los pájaros mientras esperaban a que llegara el almuerzo. El servicio fue rápido y amable y cuando llegó el almuerzo estaba delicioso. Tuve la sopa y el bocadillo (pavo con todo el recorte en julio - felicidad) y mi esposo tenía el queso de cabra y la tarta de cebolla pegajosa que venía con una ensalada encantadora. Esto con 2 bebidas llegó a poco menos de 20, así que no es particularmente barato para un almuerzo, pero muy sabroso.

Nos alojamos en el cercano Premier Inn y decidimos desayunar aquí una mañana. El clima era fantástico y lo suficientemente cálido para sentarse afuera. Fue encantador poder sentarse afuera y disfrutar de la vida silvestre, ya que hay comederos de aves colgando alrededor de la zona de asientos que atrae a muchas aves y, en ocasiones, ardillas rojas (aunque no vimos ninguna de ellas en esta ocasión). Teníamos el desayuno completo que estaba cocinado a la perfección. El personal era amable y también nos pusimos a hablar con algunos de los lugareños que eran muy amables. Nuestro hijo de tres años también disfrutó de su desayuno y fue una novedad para él poder comer afuera. Esperamos volver a visitar pronto. Gracias de nuevo.

Visitamos regularmente cuando estamos en la zona y tenemos tiempo. Llamado ayer, viernes santo, y hoy de nuevo, y tengo que reforzar la opinión de los demás de que los bollos en Squirrels 'Pantry son absolutamente excelentes y ¡realmente están "frescos hoy" como se dijo! Me he vuelto cada vez más desencantado al ver esto reclamado en lugares, ordenar un bollo y ser muy consciente al probar que definitivamente no fue "recién horneado". Me considero un "conocedor" del bollo y puedo hornearlo bastante bien yo mismo, pero en Squirrels 'Pantry realmente vale la pena hacer un viaje especial. . . . Si se encuentra cerca de Cockermouth, llame: puede que tenga suerte y vea ardillas rojas también, y el centro de jardinería también es fantástico. . . a que esperas, no te demores

We both enjoyed them very much as well as the nice pot of tea for two. Left with a couple of the cheese scones to take home after having a nice chat with the two ladies there this morning.

We are lucky to be able to visit this unique little country café on a regular basis. The food is excellent - all home made. A real bonus is that all year round, whilst you eat, you can watch birds attracted to the feeders outside and in winter the real treat is watching the red squirrels also visiting the feeders. Just before Christmas we watched several squirrels come and go for the whole time we were there. The owners keep a 'squirrel board' updated with the times that they've visited during the day. A delightful break away from the hectic pace of today's life. For plantaholics the nursery next door is also well worth a visit.

Was recommended this place as a chance to see red squirrels in the wild. There is a small outside space with 4 tables plus plenty of feeders. Many birds came by as we had tea and scones but no squirrels. Compensation came in the form of delicious scones with cream and jam. Service was very good too.Afterwards we went to the cemetery in Cockermouth after a tipoff from a local and saw 3 red squirrels so everything worked out in the end.

The Squirrels pantry is inside the grounds of a small garden centre. It is very small with just a few tables and there are large greenhouse style windows on each side with views of the grounds. There is a squirrel feeding station on one side so it is possible to see the red squirrels now and again when you are having your refreshments. The staff keep a blackboard in view with notes of the latest squirrel sightings which is a nice touch.We had afternoon tea which was reasonably priced, extremely tasty and very filling.

It has been quite a whlie since our last visit, and the food is still as good. Serves a decent selection of light bites, soups, jacket potatoes, etc,and cakes as well a a few specials. The service is very good, and food home made and tasty. . You sit in a lovely extension, not too large, which can get a little warm with the sun beating in, while you keep a lookout for the red squirrels which can often be seen on the feeders outside..

With glass windows on three sides and a glass roof, the Squirrels Pantry looks from outside like it should be chilly inside, but on a windy February morning it was warm and cosy. When I enquired if they had anything similar to flapjack to go with my morning coffee the charming waitress suggesed the oaty apricot slice which turned out to be delicious. This was my first visit; I'm sure it wont be my last.

Called in as we were passing after a visit to Penrith, my friend and I often call in when we're in the area as the food is so good and plentiful, this time as we had already had lunch in Penrith but we were ready for another pot of tea and a scone with jam and cream and so enjoyed it.Please when you are in the area do call in as the scones are to die for! you can also buy jam's and chutney's which are equally good too, the garden centre isn't too shabby either as we often after a good lunch have a quick look around it, and as yet never left with out a plant or two if you get my drift that also goes for a pot of jam too!

We called in for lunch whilst on holiday. Food was freshly cooked and delicious. Home made cake for pudding was yummy. Staff friendly. Added bonus of a red squirrel sitting outside the window eating nuts! We would definitely eat here again if we visit the area again.

Have been visiting Squirrels now for quite a few years under different owners. The current owner is doing a fab job, all fresh food, brilliantly done. I am quite particular where I go but Squirrels is a great place to go for breakfast, lunch, or an afternoon tea. I can't speak highly enough of it so get yourself along and try it.

Popped in on the way past with my grandparents for a drink. We also had a cream scone, Grasmere Gingerbread and Caramel Shortbread, all were delicious. Staff were friendly and lovely setting.

Looking for somewhere for lunch and saw the Pantry situated in the grounds of a garden center. Very tucked away but nice little place with friendly efficient service and a nice range of lunch time food, all freshly prepared.

I went for lunch with a friend yesterday. I hadn't been there for several years and was not impressed on my last visit. However, the new owners have made a massive improvement. It is in a conservatory with a very pleasant atmosphere and the outlook is very private, trees all around. I had home made quiche which was absolutely delicious and the salad which accompanied it was very fresh and interesting and unlike the standard salad which is served in other places. The coffee was also good and the staff friendly and helpful. Altogether a lovely experience.

We had visited here two years ago and this time the minor issues we had last time were absent.We had one afternoon tea (sandwich, scone/jam/butter/cream, cake, tea) and a cheese omelette with salad garnish and tea.The afternoon tea was excellent - beautifully soft bread and tasty cheese, a nice scone with fresh cream, and a rather unusual lemon slice which was delicious - and good value at £9. The omelette was also good.We were slightly overcharged but it was quickly rectified. We'll be back.

Perfect stop for a coffee break - the view over the lake with bird feeders in front was great. The chairs in the lounge were very comfortable - best decaf coffee I have had. Looked at the menu and it was a shame that only a coffee stop. Did have a taste of the local beers!!

Walked from Keswick centre to Nichol End Marina. A lovely walk but was glad when I arrived at the marina cafe. Roger (jolly Roger) welcomed me in and was so helpful and friendly. It was quiet as the season is coming to an end. I had an oat milk coffee and a raisin sticky toffee scone. It was so big! Put half in a bag to take home. Plenty of choice of scones all fresh and looking delicious. Prices were so reasonable. Roger then gave me a ride in his boat across Derwent Water. He’s such a nice man. It made my day to find a gem of a place. Would def recommend if in the area. Will return and try out the boating/canoeing etc next year.

The best dog friendly cafe in the lakes. Gorgeous food and the warmest welcome. This is our go to place when walking in the north lakes. All of the food always hits the spot but the cakes are just gorgeous!
