The Bridge Cafe in Copeland

The Bridge cafe in Millom has a sign advising that it has temporarily closed down. To be honest, having looked through the window it doesn’t look as though it’s likely to reopen anytime soon. The Trackside on the station is a fantastic alternative.

Good spot for a good breakfast. Staff were lovely and very accommodating. Ever so slightly more expensive than other cafés we’ve been so, but nothing that broke the bank! 😃

Ordered two cheeseburgers and scampi have to say it was the worst food I have ever eaten, burger was like a flip flop with cheese on thank god we got some chips or my son would of gone hungry

Big breakfast was nice, we ate it but everything was rather deep fried or warmed through. You can pay another £1 and get Cumberland sausage instead of the frozen basic sausage that were tough to eat and didn’t taste anything like Cumberland. The restaurant itself we couldn’t fault! My young boys would have loved to have seen 000the famous motorbikes displayed inside. Everything was clean including the customer toilets. We was a little disappointed their was no black pudding or mushrooms served with the breakfast but other than that it was ok. Cheap and cheerful

Great place, fast service I had the big breakfast which was spot on and the owner was very helpful with info on trips out , will definitely be going back soon

stopped off at this friendly cafe , whilst on a walk around the area . Lovely friendly staff , great food at really reasonable prices , and dog friendly 😊😊

Came here for a late breakfast on Sunday. Served quickly and the breakfast was cooked perfectly and an ideal portion size for me. Cafe was reasonably busy with mainly local people which is always a good sign. Price was reasonable and I would be happy to eat here again - recommended.

We went for breakfast this morning and it was lovely. Very welcoming when we first arrived and food was delicious. Reasonably priced and lovely atmosphere. Would definitely return.

Had a Sunday family breakfast for 4 with our dog, great food, friendly service, we will be back, Thanks

Had a Sunday family breakfast for 4 with our dog, great food, friendly service, we will be back, from Accrington

Absolutely stupendous service and quality food, very welcoming and a nice family place to be and will be returning

Staff very friendly and nothing too much trouble Great value for money... Lovely outside seating area if you get the weather... Would revisit if I ever go back to Millom

Immediately welcomed into the café. Staff were excellent and there was no problem in ordering smaller meals. The breakfast was exceedingly good and even shared between us was ample. Definitely not a "greasy spoon". Plenty of seating both inside and out and clean. Would recommend the café to anyone. Thank you to both staff and regular customers for making us so welcome.

Lovely exceptional people who go the extra mile to welcome guests.The Bridge Café is full of surprises and very good service and wholesome food.We walked into a spacious airy café to be greeted by smiling friendly faces.We left over an hour later feeling like part of the family having been entertained in a most incredible fascinating huge garden by Gina and Russell who have developed a lovely café and worked tirelessly on a garden with ponds log cabins mysterious paths leading to more surprises and to find such people who share everything they have worked so hard to create is something which made our trip to Millom so excellent.It is something not to be missed .Cant wait to go back.Thankyou so much David and Mike

Popped in here to get out of the rain, fabulous hot chocolate menu and lovely ladies who served us. Could do with a bit more choice for cake.

Popped in for a little bit breakfast. Ordered a bacon sausage and egg sandwich on white bread. The sandwich was nice but nothing to shout about, a bit oily which didn’t help as the bread was just falling apart so resulted in it becoming a deconstructed sandwich. I’d visit again but perhaps not order a sandwich.

Went to this cafe as it had good reviews online but I think those reviews must come from the regulars that live close by.

Nice little cafe. Very friendly staff and the food was good value for money. Kids enjoyed it all! Only downside is and this isn’t the cafe’s fault but Millom in general, there’s not many places to park and you are highly likely to get a ticket!

Love Love Love this cafe on our 3 visits to Millom we have always stopped in here for breakfast before the long drive home on each occasion the same characters were there all very friendly Ladies. There are no airs and graces here just a proper northern cafe even sells penny sweets

Lovely clean and friendly cafe. Welcomed the dog and gave treats. Little balcony you can sit out overlooking garden. Brilliant breakfast and reasonable.

Called into the Bridge Cafe with the kids after asking a local for recommendations. Absolutely perfect! Very reasonably priced, freshly cooked food and wonderful staff. Owners where welcoming and showed us their beautiful garden. My husband would of happily moved in. Such a refreshing change to have a place to go that doesn't want to drain every penny from you, provide a poor service and terrible food.

That is exactly what the tin says. It may put you off but don't let it. Just had the jacket potato with cheese and sausage, egg chips beans. Food was hot and well cooked and was certainly filling. I didn't eat both meals, I could hardly finish mine. Portions are generous and the price is excellent-too cheap if anything. Fits the area. Will definitely eat there again if we return -probably more than once. Give it a go except don't expect a red carpet.

A very popular cafe where people congrinate on a regular basis. Food and beverages are good value for money and they have a good hygiene record.

Great little cafe, cheap n cheerful, full of locals just like a decent cafe should be! Can't ask for more really

Just needed a quick bite to eat and a local suggested to try Bridge Cafe and so we did and was happy we did.

Stopped for breakfast and as I'm not a particularly 'breakfast' person I'm pretty fussy. Quite simple food cooked exactly how I asked. Clean, tidy and friendly staff. Highly recommended

Lovely breakfast here. Went for the full breakfast which was all freshly cooked, no grease, well presented and over all delicious. Had good chat with chap who runs the cafe with his mum doing the cooking. Really interesting guy. Would definitely recommend.

Been twice for breakfast. On both occasions a small queue had already formed outside waiting for opening time. Warm welcome from staff, food excellent and service very efficient. Breakfast was excellent value for money.

Acabamos de volver de unas vacaciones en Cumbria hoy nos encontramos este café de primera hace 4 años cuando nos alojamos en el puerto de haverigg caravanas park Excelente comida encantadora dueños te hacen sentir en casa no podría pedir un lugar mejor para ir a por la comida regresaremos el próximo año no puedo esperar. Mi marido, mi suegro y mi hijo y yo no puedo calificar Este café lo suficiente me encanta.

Food is excellent, staff and owner are awesome. Place is clean, tidy and always smells nice. Friendly place

Un pequeño lugar para ir, he llamado un par de veces viajando cerca, siempre muy limpia y buena comida con un personal amable y servicio con una sonrisa, para los niños y parece ser un lugar popular. Recomiendo encarecidamente una visita 😊

Lugar absolutamente encantador! Comida genial personal, dueño! Un lugar relajante también! Sin duda recomendaría

Cuando abrimos la puerta de la cocina de humo nos conocimos y casi bloqueada en el humo. Compramos una taza de té sólo porque mi otra mitad necesitaba el retrete :: y que habían sido incapaces de encontrar uno. El personal nos miraba como si tuviéramos dos cabezas obviamente no utilizada para los clientes.

Llamado por y para un cambio. Quería un desayuno más que el precioso jamón n Chip normalmente.

As I said in the title... Where do I start?Well, I walked through the door and the cafe wasn't full but out of about 15 seating tables, there was only around 3 or 4 tables to choose from which shows the popularity of the cafe in the local community. The decor was bright and attractive and the music not too loud either.Then, we went in and was served instantly. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. They also brought our food over to our table. Full credit to them!Next, the food. I had a Cheese and Tomato Toastie, half a portion of chips and a coffee and well, well, well..... Superb! The toastie was just how you want a toastie to be. Crunchy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside and it was just that! Then the chips were nice and crispy on the outside too with a nice and fluffy middle. The food... 5 Stars definitely! Then the coffee rounded the whole thing off beautifully. Best cuppa i've ever bought!I totally recommend to anyone nearby checking this place out because it is big contributor to Millom and is one of the best eateries that i've EVER been too!Well Done Russell. Keep Going Mate! (This review is my totally unbiased opinion and in no way am I in partnership with The Bridge Cafe)

Called by today Monday 6th March 2017 whilst nearby as i haven't been for a while.Had a surprise as i walked in, new, well new to me as i don't know when the revamp was done but its clear to see it has had a revamp, with new tables, breakfast bar look great and a new floor.As ever, this cafe is and looks spotless, clean floor, clean tables and a fresh smell about the place albeit chips and such like is being cooked and fried.There has been times, when on my travels i have popped in 'other cafes' and came out smelling like one, but The Bridge Cafe - Millom, you don't.We ordered what i consider my favourite, Cold Ham, Chips, Beans and Two Eggs with a slice of B&B and a Cuppa. For the two of us a total just over £11 quid, excellent value for money.Im not 100% but the garden looks to be of worked on with extra sheds n huts, looking forward to the summer to have a look about.Well worth a visit and hope to visit soon.

Had lunch here with a friend, excellent quality food, plenty of it too. Very clean even though they were preparing to lay a new floor. Staff very friendly too. Seemed very popular with locals too. Basic food, nothing special but worth a visit if in Millom.

Russell and his team serve good value traditional cafe food in a welcoming atmosphere. They are an integral part of our local community! Be sure to check out their wonderful garden!

Arrived in time for a wonderful brunch, wheelchair friendly, except the toilet. Helpful staff with a friendly attitude.

Lovely little cafe. Serves the typical tea and toast and when we went was popular with the retired. Lovely cup of tea but nothing special. You pay for what you get and the prives are good. If you want to go back in time.....bridge cafe is the place.

My 9 year old granddaughter and I called into the Bridge Café on a day of torrential rain. The café was welcoming and cosy, the staff friendly and the menu just what we needed. I had a bacon sandwich, my granddaughter had a bacon and egg sandwich. The bacon was delicious and the bread fresh. Possibly the best bacon sandwich since my gran used to make them!A cup of tea, made in a pot , was the perfect accompaniment.Would definitely go back if in the area.

Great traditional food, friendly and good prices. Last visited 10 years ago, still great. Try the milk shakes.

We discovered this cafe completely by accident as we did Millom 10 years ago! Having fallen in love with the cafe then, today we made a return visit and were not disappointed. Great welcome and hospitality, very nice food with a good selection at good prices. Can highly recommend the ice cream milkshakes which come in many flavours and the fish and chips with peas. Pop along, you won't be disappointed. If we holiday up here again, then a detour will be made to the Bridge Cafe.

Like going back in a time machine! If you want retro this could be the place for you? Me? Never again, I have never walked out after drinking 1 mouthful of a coffee, till now.The staff were friendly thou, not all bad.

Our group comes for Sunday dinner here monthly. There is a special for the limited English roast dinner. Choice of pork or chicken. Stewed veggies and a pudding. Hot tea.

Stopped here for a coffee and a cake and I will say the staff couldn't do enough for us. We had two dogs with us at the time and unfortunatley the cafe garden was shut. However they allowed us to use the balcony with a fab view over the garden. So thank you very much and I must say the apple pie and ice cream was fantastic. Many thanks

we usually go for a drive after church and this time we visited the bridge café for fish and chips the meal was cooked to order staff very welcoming and quite reasonably priced

4th March 2016, driving back from up the West Coast, decided to call in to one of my favourite Cafe's, and looked forward to the Cold Ham n Chips with Eggs, one of my old time favourite.So on the off chance, myself and i decided to call in for some lunch and immediately asked for the Cold Ham, to our disappointment we were told they had no Ham and awaiting delivery.So we ordered our brews and perused the menu, to come up with one of my other favourite meals, Sausage, Chips, Beans and Eggs. With a slice of B&B for a butty.In not time at all our meals turned up. Thoroughly enjoyed our meals, the food delicious and hot, it hit the mark and again we enjoyed it, we did have the ham in mind, but we look forward to that, next time.

Good English breakfast at reasonable price and friendly atmosphere, we go there for our breakfast every time we visit millom

We go with a group once a month. It's not my favorite, but the regulars seem to like it. Fare is always the same. English pork dinner with potatoes and veggies.

Popped in for a cuppa, with eleven others. Got served straight away, good range of drinks food and sweets available. Just what you want on a January afternoon.

This seems to be an after-school hangout for after school. They also serve roast dinners for groups. We have been there several times. The roast dinners were ample, but not special. We enjoyed the company of our party eating together. We did not get sick!

chef was outside having a fag or 5,didnt wash his hands,bread was mouldy,coffee was horrible,should of just went hungry sorry to say,dont like giving bad reviews but wasnt nice

We went there numerous times with friends. The food was warm and filling. Nothing special. The place was crowded and noisy. I guess that speaks well for how the locals like it.

I was desperate for a soup, and that was the place, where I could eat a delicious soup with a baguette. all of the foods are quite "cafe food", but the soup was home made. The price is very good, highly recommend to everyone.

Does what it says on the tin. Tasty basic menu but can deffo recommend the Big Breakfast! £5.50 is a good price too! Pleasant staff and easy to get to location.

Don't expect anything fancy, it's very basic, but there are no fancy prices either. Good place to stop for a coffee and a snack.

WE regularly visit the café for a hot drink and quite often for a snack or meal. The café is very clean and well-maintained and the quality of food and drink is very good. Most important of all the prices are very reasonable and you always feel you are getting value for money. There is often chat going on between the patrons and you are made to feel very welcome. If you are visiting Millom, it is an excellent place to get the feel of the locality.

The best ever ham and cheese toasties ...really lovely staff ..clean and tidy place,good choices of toasies and great cuppa

Once again, myself, my wife and friend was in the area, therefore a visit to this wonderful cafe was a must.As soon as we approached the counter, the polite and friendly owner asked the kitchen if there was any infamous Ham to my delight the answer was yes. 'That's what i call service'.Without a moments notice i ordered Ham, Chips and Egg with Beans, my friend ordered the same. My wife ordered Egg and Chips with Beans.For drinks, two milky Coffee's and a Tea. All for less than £15 excellent value for money.While we waited i asked if i could use the WiFi and was given the secure number to log-on and again this was free.What seemed to be only a few minutes the meals were served by a friendly lady, my friend and i meals came with an abundance of delightful chips, gorgeous Ham, two Eggs a Beans.My wife was served with Two Eggs and again plenty of Chips, I forgot to ask for Bread and Butter and again this was not a problem, within a minute or so the B&B was served, I do struggle to eat chips without making a buttie.The food was excellent, the Ham never disappoints, good old fashioned frothy Coffee is a joy and unlike that over priced over inflated Costa packet Coffee. This cafe and its owners never disappoints, there so much more to this Cafe. A visit is a must, even if your not in the area.The fantastic garden will be worked on soon as spring is near, and the 2014 Xmas Santa Grotto was a huge success.Call in and enjoy. I will, soon.Sam B

Called here for a coffee and toasted tea cake ,both were very good ! I was served quickly by a friendly waiter . The place was busy mostly locals, it seems to be a good meeting place there is not much else in Millom that I could see anyway. I would definitely call again.

Dropped in for a quick lunch bite. All the tables were full, though none of the staff advised us of the process! Found a table when one became available and ordered our lunch. It was a while to arrive but the staff were polite enough to point out that a load of orders had all gone in at once. Lunch was excellent and very tasty indeed

Decent food at a reasonable price. Always willing to alter the menu if there is something you want/don't want and always a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Called in to this Great cafe whilst on business nearby with my wife 18.09.14, my wife and i visit this place when nearby, I ordered Cold Ham, Eggs, Chips and Beans times 2, two brews and a round of bread and butter. £11 total....perfect.Whenever I call in, there is always a great atmosphere, this is the place where locals catch up, a central hub, theirs a buzz about this place, people 'nattering' to one another, theirs many places i have been and i bet they wish what this cracking cafe has and have succeeded.The Cold Ham, just perfect, Chips and Beans and Egg, not rocket science but to other places i have been it certainly appears to be, here at the bridge Café, they have it right, spot on.I believe the garden will be open for this Christmas (2014) they are having a Santa Grotto built, and it’s all coming along and looking good.Pay the cafe a visit, you won’t be disappointed.I hope to call by very soon.Sam B

This cafe has been around and open for many years, I personally have frequented this glorious cafe many times.What makes this cafe stand out from the typical and many other other cafe's around is, the atmosphere, the owner, the staff, friendly, helpful and obviously the food.Lets not beat about the bush here, it's a cafe, but strong ties to the local community, the pricing and quality of the food and drinks is a credit to the owner-s. The Cafe is a hub where the locals meet up for brews and food, it offers free- wifi which is a credit and has a computer station for those who wish to surf the internet for a mere couple of quid.One of my favorite foods is the Cold Ham and Chips, fantastic, so the night before our visit we decided my wife and i to visit the Cafe. A mere 40 mile round trip. On arrival 25.4.14, 10.00am we ordered the Cold Ham and chips dinner, what arrived at our table was.. Two Fried Eggs, Plate full of Chips, oodles of slices of cold ham ( proper ham, not reconstructed, re-constituted mechanical ham) proper Ham, we chose beans instead of peas, a slice of bread and butter each and a mug of frofy milky coffee. For both of us, the total of £12.80, we were full and thoroughly enjoyed our food, Excellent portions, excellent quality, a winning formula.The Bridge cafe hosts a fantastic garden, with many animals for children to view, you can eat out in the garden and relaxing in a peaceful environment, there is work taking place at the moment, they are building a large log cabin, for a Santa's Grotto, with slush machines and other ideas i no doubt will be added. In all the cafes i have visited up and down and across the country i have not seen or come across a cafe like it before, a truly wonderful place to call upon whether for a brew or for food.We will be returning very soon.if you are in the vicinity, pop in, you wont be disappointed.
