Station Restaurant in South Lakeland

Great food, super atmosphere , idiosyncratic in a wonderful way. Would visit again and again. Steam Train is an added bonus

Really lovely breakfast and coffees and the staff were delightful. Would definitely go again. Ideal before/or after a train ride.

On arriving at this wonderful station after a magnificent journey from lakeside we were amazed to see such a beautiful cafe. What a fabulous array of foods even vegan options for me. You certainly won't leave hungry 😋 all the staff were extremely polite and helpful they certainly run this cafe like clockwork so well done to you all. I enjoyed the vegan sausages with mushrooms in a bun and chips, the cakes were so inviting but I really couldn't of managed one. This is must to visit and enjoy great hospitality and awesome food. Thank you it really made our day even more special.

Getting off the well loaded train went into the Tea room, the staff were friendly and took our order. We found a seat and our food was brought over to us, not long to wait either. The food was good, and the tea room very clean, with tables cleaned just minutes after customers vacated. I recommend this tea room with no reservations.

If you like a coffee surrounded by railway memorabilia worth calling here. I did just that en route home from a week in the Lakes taking photos

What on earth has happened to this once bustling popular cafe! Went an hour before our train to have lunch as previously it had been heaving but worth the wait. Previously had an amazing menu of home cooked food. Was so looking forward to the Steak pie. Well didnt have to wait for a table this time! We were one of the few diners there. The menu was like a poor man's Gregg's! The coffee was weak and food was served on paper plates. I don't like Gregg's but it would have been preferable to this. We only ate anything as we were hungry. The prices were ridiculous. How on earth can they justify €5.50 for a hot chocolate with marshmallows (only bought as promised to grandchild) . I asked what happened to the previous menu and was told oh they only do that when trains AREN'T running! Really! Their business model is upside down! It must cost them more to run with the poor menu they now have. Absolutely disgusting will definitely not come back. Nearly €30 for a child's lunch, a burger (tasteless) chips and a cheese pasty. No wonder you were almost empty. Do a smaller menu of 5 or 6 previously popular items and you might actually get back to the bustling cafe you once were. Until then we won't be back.

Warm, cosy atmosphere from both the venue and the staff who were extremely friendly and welcoming. It was busy when we came in but the staff were helpful and approachable, even when rushed off their feet! Food was absolutely delicious and tasted like home - again, adding to the warm atmosphere! If we come back to the Lakes again, we’ll definitely be back!

I was looking forward to a spot of lunch here after the train journey but I felt the options were limited and in the end opted for a coffee and a snack. Coffee was average, overall disappointed.

Despite being served as a takeaway for our sit down lunch, the food was very nice. Sandwiches freshly made and delicious crispy chips. Soup was a bit thin but full of vegetables and the roll was lovely and fresh.

Popped here in the afternoon for tea and scones. Hadn't been here before but it had been recommended. Was sorry there was only take away packaging. No tea pots etc. Staff were obliging and friendly and the scones were the very best. There was a pay and display car park which was surprising for tea room visitors.

We caught the steam train from lakeside to haverthwaite,with the intention of trying this cafe. My wife is coeliac so knowing they had a gluten free menu we were keen to sample what they had to offer. On arrival the cafe was quiet, on the counter was a menu listing all gluten free options, when we started to order from it the lady quickly took it off my wife and said , that's finished now it's just what's on the board. The time was approximately 11.30am. We ordered from the board, a gluten free jacket potato and a bacon and egg roll. The bacon was over done and the egg was like rubber. Poor. All served in a paper bag, despite paying to eat in. The only advantage was , this allowed us to leave with the paper bag of poor food and board the next train back to lakeside.

We were lucky enough to stop in for lunch on Friday and they had a 2/3 course Christmas menu for a very reasonably priced £12/15 I think. Had the garlic creme mushrooms 👍 followed by a big plateful of Turkey dinner. Nice chunky slices of turkey, stuffing, roasters, mash, pigs in blankets, turnip/carrot, gravy, cranberry etc. Loved it. Coffee was good as well. Try catch the Christmas menu and phone to book to avoid disappointment. Will be back next time we are in the area. Thanks 😁

Well organised busy cafe doing sit in and takeaway food which was excellent and very efficient especially if you have a steam train to catch at the station. Definitely recommend this excellent tea room.

Lovely tasty food.. organised fast service.. great surroundings like genuinely in an old fashioned tea room ... you must try the scones 😄

Had an iced coffee whilst waiting for the train. They have some tasty homemade food on offer. The cafe is nicely decorated and I particularly like the mural on the back wall. The railway style seats look good but it is a very tight squeeze to get in and out.

A family group of 8 had a lovely lunch here yesterday. They were very helpful especially when checking foods for my allergy’s and they even made me something that wasn’t on the menu that day so that I could eat something. Nothing was too much trouble. The food arrived quickly and everyone found it delicious. There is also a very good children’s playgroup next to it.

Great staff, great service, quality ingredients and a fantastic breakfast experience. It’s our regular haunt when staying in the region. My only observation is that the tables are an awful design. They are all simply too big for the booths they are meant to fit and the legs are too close to the ends of the table top. Top Grub and staff though.

We were on our way somewhere else but looking for a cafe for breakfast, stopped here and thank the lord we did. What a great cafe, we all loved it. From the breakfast pizza - should that really exist?! through to the full breakfasts and toasties our party thoroughly enjoyed their food. We'd go back just for the cafe though have to say the trains looked amazing too. Staff & service were great and plenty of spaces to park.

It is not very often I write a review where you get the portion size you pay for. The service is nice and quick. The meals are typical cafe style and we never left hungry. Reasonable prices but definitely not over priced. Would happily go again if passing. However, it was a nice day outside so the que could have been asked to be outside rather than through the seating area.

Went here yesterday for lunch and found the menu surprisingly varied. We both had the railwayman's breakfast which was the best breakfast i have had in a long time. It also included a cup of tea or coffee. The children both had two scoops of icecream, as two scoops was only marginally more expensive than one scoop, which were also very good. Despite being busy the food came quite quickly too. My only complaint would be that myself and others asked for salt and pepper when the food arrived and were told that it was on the counter. This meant having to leave my hot food to go and find it! Why not put some on each table? All in all though a delicious meal.

We stopped today for a coffee and some food after getting of the steam train. We were in a large group of 6 adults and 2 children. The service was superb and the staff so friendly highly recommend visiting here.

My husband & I had our 5 year old train mad grandson stay longer with us when his younger sisters and mom went back home after a few day’s staying with us at our new Lodge. His utter delight when the train was able to...

Attached to the steam railway. Many dishes were sold out. Food was good but the place is relatively small.

came here on the basis of good reviews, really disappointed though. Absolutely over priced and the sausage roll in particular was very poor quality.

Always been a fan of this cafe for breakfast and afternoon tea. Took my partner for his birthday breakfast today and I am sorry to say we won’t be back. Really poor quality and for £22 it would have been nice for the staff to...

I organised our visit for the train plus savoury afternoon tea for 20 friends....was exceptional service and delicious food. The choice was brilliant and as much Tea as we wanted. The staff had a smile on their faces!

We visited the tea room last Sunday and the food and service was superb. One of us had the cold afternoon tea & one the hot version. The food was amazing and you definitely got a lot for your money! 10/10

Been here a couple of times recently. Would recommend the breakfast shared stack for 2. All the food is excellent quality.

Whilst waiting for our train ride we got some tea and coffee to takeaway to the outside seating area in the station. If you want to eat inside you have to pre book.

Desayunamos aquí mientras esperábamos el tren de vapor. Mis hijos comieron y disfrutaron las salchichas frescas. Comí un bap de desayuno, cada artículo sabía bien, sin embargo, el fondo del bap estaba empapado, por lo que no se podía comer como un bap. Fue una buena relación calidad-precio. El entorno en sí era encantador, muy pintoresco y pintoresco. Mientras esperaba, vi a alguien sirviendo un precioso puesto de tartas con bollos, etc. . Se veía muy especial. Lo recomendaría como un buen lugar para comer.

Had a lovely ride on the steam train from Lakeside to Haverthwaite and pre-booked the Sunday Lunch Afternoon Tea. A really quirky idea but was delicious! Staff very friendly and attentive. Highly recommended!

Just had afternoon tea here with my wife, and it was just fantastic. Worth coming here just for the tea and watching the steam train pulling in and out the station. The sandwich’s and scones were wonderful, fresh and so tasty. And all served by happy friendly staff who clearly enjoy what they do and it really shows and made the whole experience a pure delight.

Had the most amazing afternoon teas here! Pre booked the day before and it was honestly one of the best we’ve had! Staff were so lovely and felt super safe due to all the COVID measures they had in place!! Would definitely recommend!!

Nos topamos con este lugar mientras buscamos té y un aperitivo. A pesar de que estaba "fuera de temporada" y el ferrocarril de la herencia no estaba funcionando, el restaurante estaba abierto y muy ocupado y animado. Tomamos té y bollos y tendría que decir que fueron los mejores bollos que hemos probado. Muy bien cocinada y muy fresca. Los bollos a menudo pueden ser una decepción, todos desmenuzados y llenos de refrescos, pero estos fueron absolutamente perfectos

Mi esposa y yo no usamos el ferrocarril patrimonial adyacente (¡los niños crecieron hace mucho tiempo!) Pero tropezamos con el café por accidente. ¡Qué lugar! Con mucho carácter, excelente comida y, si quieres empujar un poco el bote, preparan tés elegantes por la tarde, aunque parece que tienes que reservar con un día de anticipación para esto. Llegamos al café unos 15 minutos antes de que saliera el tren de vapor, y estaba lleno de familias. Sin embargo, si no tiene intención de utilizar el ferrocarril, pero quiere comer en la cafetería, busque el horario y llegue a la hora de salida. ¡Tendrás una excelente cafetería pequeña prácticamente para ti! Definitivamente los visitaremos otra vez.

Fui a tomar el té de la tarde y estaba absolutamente delicioso. Fuimos por la opción caliente que era gambas, patatas fritas, carne de res Yorkshire pud y salsa. Esto fue seguido por pasteles y un poco de crema y mermelada. No pudimos comerlo todo, así que llevé los bollos a casa. El servicio fue excelente y las mujeres que trabajan allí realmente agradable.

Visitamos recientemente, planeando usar nuestra nueva tarjeta de 'descuento local' y tener un 'lujo'. Como una cena de pavo estaba en el menú, elegimos esta opción. Llegó tibio, el 'pavo' sabía a carne procesada, había 3 tipos de papa: croqueta, puré y hervida en su piel (sin asado). Las pocas verduras llegaron en un plato lateral para compartir entre nosotros y obviamente habían estado sentadas un rato. Para mí, la decepción adicional fue que toda la comida estaba inundada de salsa. No me gusta mucho la salsa y esperaba obtener una jarra pequeña, como suele ser la costumbre hoy en día, para que uno pueda elegir cuánto y dónde ponerla. Cuando fui al mostrador para pagar y ofrecí mi tarjeta de descuento, me dijeron que el descuento solo se aplicaba a las bebidas, no a la comida, aunque no había nada que indicara eso en el menú.También hacía bastante frío donde nos sentamos, a pesar de que había un fuego de carbón en un extremo de la habitación.Toda la experiencia fue muy decepcionante.

Aparecí aquí en el ferrocarril de Steam y qué delicia fue. Nos quedamos gratamente sorprendidos. El servicio fue muy amable y acogedor. Y la comida era súper sabrosa y las opciones vegetarianas eran fantásticas. 3 cursos para 9. 99 resultó ser de gran valor también.

We'd been on the train so decided to stop for lunch at the station. It was quite busy but the service was quick and we had a very good burger and chips. The meal was huge but tasty.My only real complaint - the tables are packed in to the room and it is very difficult to manoeuvre around - especially with hot drinks.

Had lunch here one day and was surprised at the good quality and portion size. Prices a little high as you would expect for a tourist attraction but not over the top. Would certainly go back

We had a good coffee and scone with clotted cream in the station restaurant. It was a little like going back to the 1950's.

Had a sausage bap and a coffee recently.The sausage was overcooked and coffee lacked flavour. I won't be dashing back.

Called ahead and booked breakfast for 6 lads on a camping trip. We had a very warm welcome and were immediately recognised. Balance that with an unusual environment, a bit of humour and a fantastic breakfast makes this a real gem. This is a go-to place on all our trips now.

Coupled with the steam trains linking up to the steamers on Windermere this is a very busy place usually full of visitors during the season .Good selection of beverages and foods.can cater for parties if booked in advance

Three hungry men left well fed!! A real treat to have so much great food to end the afternoon trip of the railway and visit to the aquarium. Would definitely come back again, though biggest difficulty would be whether to have the 'cold afternoon tea' or the 'hot afternoon tea'!!

Family lunch including cream tea.Informal setting in the historic railway station of the steam railway.Pleasant and helpful service,good food and reasonable price.

While away the time between trains by having lunch or a snack here : my scones and jam were delicious - there were four varieties of scone that day, Nina's tomato and basil soup fine, although there must be a glut of it locally (or maybe a special offer), as every place we went to in the Lakes had it as "soup of the day"

We popped in just for a Bacon Roll and quick cuppa.. It was Lush.. A simple short review, but really excellent food, and a spotless cafe.

We drove past the station and decided to call in for lunch, so glad we did!

Visited the station restaurant at Haverthwaite while waiting for our return train to Lakeside. After reading several reviews of amazing scones we just had try them and we were not disappointed. There is plenty of tables inside and out on the platform and we sat outside as it was nice day. Lovely decor inside in keeping with the style of the station. We had one sultana scone and one clotted cream scone both with cream and jam and both were delicious. Definitely recommended if visiting the steam railway.

Enjoyed a great lunch and the vegan falafel sandwich was a surprising highlight! Good coffee too, and really child friendly

We went for a short walk in the woods, followed by a super hot afternoon tea with amazing service from the staff. Great value for money.

Cuatro de nosotros nos detuvimos en el Salón de Té para desayunar y decidimos no quedarnos a desayunar en Hawkshead, donde pasamos la noche. Así que en nuestros viajes de regreso a Midlands encontramos este lugar muy rápidamente. . No habían estado abiertos por muchos minutos, los trenes se estaban poniendo en marcha y nos dirigimos directamente al salón de té. . solo había otros dos "madrugadores" allí, la habitación era de buen tamaño y estaba decorada con asientos para unas 30 personas, diría. . Los asientos tipo cabina no dejaban mucho espacio para que los hombres pudieran colocar los pies alrededor del marco de metal y las patas de la mesa, pero nos las arreglamos, había mesas abiertas disponibles. Un bonito gran mural ferroviario en la pared final era ligero y aireado en una mañana brillante. El desayuno del ferroviario era bastante caro a las 9. 50 y fue 2. 50 por un café con leche. . Tres de nosotros optamos por el desayuno y uno tenía una salchicha y tocino Bap que creo que era alrededor de 6. . Desafortunadamente, el café no era muy bueno, pero el desayuno era en realidad muy bien preparado con dos huevos fritos (revueltos, etc., también disponibles), tocino, salchicha cumberland encantadora, 2 papas fritas, muchos cuartos fritos y tomates de vid y un ramekin de al horno Frijoles en el centro y una tostada al costado. . y fue de calidad llena de sabor hecho mi mañana de hecho. Definitivamente volvería a visitar aquí otra vez si estuviera en la zona e incluso podría mirar los trenes la próxima vez. . El personal es amable, pero como la mayoría de la gente local que nos encontramos durante el fin de semana en atracciones, pubs, etc. todos son un poco serios, muy raros.

We called in here while waiting for the train. I had cappuccino and a cherry scone with cream and jam hubby had hot chocolate with a chesse scone. Food and drinks very good next time going to try hot food. Quick efficient service. Would recommend.

I would recommend this Restaurant for a nice good value meal made with top class ingredients. The cream teas are recommended, nice Scone, Jam and Cream, with a pot of tea. All served up with a nice smile 😊

Vivo localmente en esta estación de tren y mi esposo voy a almorzar generalmente una vez a la semana. ¡Lo amamos! Limpio y cómodo, personal encantador y la comida es genial. Es simplemente una buena cocina y en abundancia a un precio muy razonable. Lo recomiendo altamente si estás en la zona.

After having an enjoyable ride on the steam train me and my partner had the hot afternoon tea which consist off pots of tea or coffee and soup , mini burger, chips , scampi , garlic bread with chicken and melted cheese and a selection of cake and scones. This was really nice there is a wide selection of meals available. The restaurant is located right on the station platform excellent for all ages . Staff were very friendly and helpful would recommend calling in even if for a drink

The service was friendly. There stops the positive. £6.50 for toast and scrambled egg - made with powdered egg. Thoroughly disgusting and inedible. Burnt sausage on the £9.50 breakfast, along with more powdered egg. Never pa8d so much for poor food. Wouldn't return.

Went here with a group, a nice welcome, the place is in a great location and it's very clean and tidy. Free carparking for locals if you get a pass. The staff were very pleasant and efficient and the service was spot on even though it was busy. Well organised and great value for money, the food was excellent quality, was hot and well presented. Really enjoyed it!

We like railways thought we would give it a try. Busy little place but with enough staff to keep it all smooth. We ordered ham and eggs and that is what you got ham and eggs chips peas /beans.It was tasty hot and brought with a smile. Staff very attentive. I had the chocolate orange for pudd, Christine coulnt manage so we took ascone awat with us. Well done ladies.

Came here whilst on a walk from a nearby campsite.

Excellent food,great value for money. Staff very friendly. The "winter warmers " are great good food well cooked for an excellent price.

This is a great little spot – you can watch the steam trains come in and out as well as pay a visit to the “sheds” they sometimes have other attractions visiting the station. The café is an added bonus, although small it can get very crowded at times, but the food is very good, portion sizes are large and the prices are very reasonable

After a brisk walk from the Hotel we stopped for a light lunch of soup and home made bread. Lovely tomato and lentil which certainly hit the spot. The restaurant was pretty full which we assume meant that they serve up good simple freshly cooked food.

Una cálida bienvenida de parte de la señora Maher y su encantadora tripulación, en nuestra visita a esta pequeña y agradable cafetería de la estación con un ambiente acogedor e informal. Muy sabroso queso y huevos con pan sin gluten y semillas, además de un par de deliciosos bollos caseros, servidos con una tetera de té caliente de buen tamaño. Muy agradable viaje de regreso después de visitar muchos años antes. Brillante para la gente local también, ya que hay un descuento sustancial para los residentes locales, ¡lo que nos encantaría ser!

Lovely staff, very busy when we were there but pleasant and helpful. The scones were delicious as was the coffee.

Realmente disfrutamos haciendo compras aquí para el almuerzo, siempre es bueno y nos encanta la decoración también. Especialmente bueno para las personas que viven cerca, ya que hay una tarjeta de descuento disponible para clientes habituales. Definitivamente vamos a estar de vuelta. es realmente agradable justo después de que el tren sale, ya que el café es bastante tranquilo, puede estar muy ocupado mientras la gente espera el tren

Stopped in for tea and scones and a beer that is only brewed and sold in Haverthwaite. Great service and a lovely little spot.

We got off the train and decided to have lunch here. I had to have the hot dog and it was huge! I shared it with my 3 year old. Staff were friendly and food was tasty and served quickly.

Order two bacon sandwiched and teas. Bacon came nicely cooked, but bread roll was cold and served on a cold plate. We were not the only people that made a comment , others on the next table said the same thing .

An average cafe meal at a converted rail station. Well priced and tasty. Nothing special but a good meal as you wait for the train.

Did the full length journey of Windermere got the train to Haverthwaite in anticipation of homemade scones. What a let down. I could count the number of currants on one hand. My partner's scone, once she dug deep had three. Come on Haverthwaite, whoever makes your scones please tell them to be a little more liberal with the currents.

Met family here for afternoon tea on a damp Afternoon. It’s certainly worth it with great service from very welcoming staff. The food was fantastic and the staff couldn’t do enough. A room to ourselves was a real bonus too. We will return

After doing research in the area for an afternoon tea, we stumbled across this £7.95 afternoon tea at Haverthwaite Railway Station and what a find for the price. Everything was so fresh and delicious, we didn’t leave a crumb. We forgot to take a photo before, but took one afterwards. The ladies who served us were lovely and couldn’t do enough for us.

We had been to the station restaurant on two previous occasions in 2004 and 2008 so we were looking forward to a nice dinner. We looked at the menu and there was nothing really to interest us. We were expecting something like meat and potato pie but reluctantly had to settle for a bowl of chips. The chips were nice enough but we would have preferred to had a 'proper' meal. A real disappointment.

Stopped here today with my husband and 7 year old son wish we hadn't bothered though. Not a great menu and overpriced. Once ordered food took over half an hour to arrive and it was absolutely dreadful poor quality. Chicken bites were overlooked nuggets, over cooked burnt chips and the poached eggs again over cooked served on burnt toast. I've felt sick since leaving here. I wanted to complain but my husband didn't want to make a fuss. I won't be visiting again and definitely wouldn't recommend.

At the nd of our visit five hungary adults, Iplus toddler and dog decided to eat. Well not disappointed. Good fresh food served. Two had poached eggs, two bacon on toast and with spinach and bacon on lovely thick bread. Very friendly staff and decent menu . Dog friendly too

Was there with a group of 25+, the scones were amazing and the staff could not have been nicer or more accommodating. They handled all of us with great service and a smile!

Reserved a table for 10-00am for a full cooked breakfast, which was appalling. The bacon & sausage were burnt and so hard I couldn't eat them .The hash browns were also overdone.The only good thing was the coffee ,made by a machine! The bill for two of us amounted to £23 + which made us think we had been ripped off and we certainly won't be going again.

I reviewed this restaurant just over two years ago, and it just gets better and better.

Lovely place to take in the steam train atmosphere. Friendly staff and delicious home-made scones. Good breakfast also. Ignore the negative reviews — there's no pleasing some folk who seem to expect "five star service" wherever they go.

Stopped here for lunch after riding the train, which is a great journey! I opted for a bacon sandwich which was nice but was quite fatty, so if I was to visit again I'd probably opt for something else on the menu

Great cafe to get a cooked breakfast. In winter the winter warmer menu is legendary. Such good value.

Home made scones and jam very nice with mug of coffee well worth a visit station cafe serves good food nice decor

Food is fine but only me waiting and took over 15 minutes for a sandwich so nearly missed train. As ordered as takeaway was surprised

Sólo hay comida en el menú limitado. Tenía los dedos pescado y patatas fritas con bebidas. El restaurante es muy antiguo. El servicio estaba bien.

3 llamado a almorzar, disponibles desde el menú de invierno más caliente que tiene una opción especial de 5 entradas, 5 platos principales y 5 dulces disponibles en £7 por 2 campos o £9 por 3 campos. Servicio de camareros y camareras era bueno y...

Puedo utilizar mi tarjeta de viaje aquí residentes descuento para añadida. La media de los precios, el personal amable y delicioso pastel de limón ¡squidgy

Having not enjoyed the breakfast at a local 4 star Hotel that we were staying at we decided to try the station before our rail trip both breakfasts were cooked to perfection the portions were good and the ingredients were good quality. We would 100%recommend.

Called at Haverthwaite Steam Railway on a day trip on a coach traveling on to Coniston Lake, a ride on the Steam Yacht Gondola & then on to Ambleside. All very good but for the visit to the cafe at Haverthwaite, lovely scones & drinks, But Please people be aware to check your change. I was short changed by £11 ! The girl distracted me by asking for the small change of 35p, I give her the 55p, I had already given her a £20 note for the bill of £9.35p, she came back & placed 20p on the counter & moved away. Unfortunately I had a momentary lapse & didn't realize till too late that she hadn't given me the rest of the change, I spoke to the Manageress in the morning, she kindly checked to see if there was a deficiency in the till, unfortunately she was monies down rather than up

If you haven't timed your trip to perfection with the train times you're likely to have about an hours wait for the next one so this is a good place to grab a bite / drink whilst waiting. From the look of the oldey worldy station I expected the café to be a bit more nostaligic looking inside. There was a few things to choose from off the menu but I opted for the chips and cheese - I expected the cheese to be completely melted across the top however there was just a little drop of grated cheese on top, although you do get plenty of chips so might be worth sharing between two.
