The Café at Bardsea in South Lakeland

Lovely little cafe, plenty of choice for food. Lovely decor. Also another food business running at the same premises, their food menu looked amazing too. Great value for money. Food quality was exceptional. My partner said it was the best breakfast he’d had and he’s had A LOT. Most importantly the staff were so friendly, chatty and accommodating. Looking forward to our next visit.

The owners of this place are fantastic. They put so much effort into everything they do. The delivery drivers however are a massive let down.

There were more dogs and babies in the dining room than other customers when we arrived. I had heard good word-of-mouth about this family run cafe. After coming for an afternoon coffee previously, I returned for breakfast. Unfortunately this was a mistake! The Full English featured lots of tinned items, such as tomatoes and mushrooms. Seems like the lack of business means most food is not fresh. This was especially so with the meats. The bacon was very poor quality. And the black pudding was rotten. It tasted rancid and the Blonde had food poisoning afterward. Better to make a run into town to eat out.
