The Cafe Beacon Fell in Preston

This café has kept up its standards of good, reasonably priced fare. Unfortunately, since Covid it has only operated as a 'takeaway' and is closed at the beginning of the week. Things will get back to normal sometime, in the meantime call in whilst out walking on Beacon Fell. Enjoyed a coffee and a scone in the sunshine.

Always get a good bacon barm here. Had a change today and had tomato and basil soup and it was delicious. Some lovely recipe books for sale too. Bought the sausage one today and made a yummy tea from it when we got home.

When I go out walking with my friends we always like to have a bite to eat too. Some of us stopped at the cafe before our walk and enjoyed a coffee whilst waiting for other friends to join us. This was very pleasant. All of us returned an hour or two later after our walk and enjoyed hot snacks there - mainly bacon or sausage butties - all very welcome on a cold day! We followed this by having more hot drinks. The service was good as were the food and hot drinks.

Nice and warm cafe and place to get a bacon butty, coffes, cakes etc after a long walk round Beacon Fell

Ideally situated next to a car park, visitor centre and toilet facilities. Home made sandwiches, hot meals, drinks and cakes.

Really pleasant cafe by parking. Ideal for dog walking families with lively children. Either a testing hike or gentle stroll it's up to you. All fairly priced by friendly folk.

There are some negative reviews recently about this cafe - "dogs not allowed inside" etc. I'm all too happy to see the dogs kept outside where they should be, there is plenty of seating for them. Visited once again today after walking from Longridge. Apart from the cyclists, most people have parked 100m away. Blackpool comes to mind. Having walked here the fare on offer is excellent. We had the soup of the day, potato and leek, which was made gluten-free and adapted for a Vegan by not adding the cream. The staff were all too happy to oblige. The Tuna and Cucumber sandwich was as good as anywhere. Lots more choice. A great cafe for this country park.

In a world full of great cafe’s,coffee shops and food outlets this has to be at the lower end of the scale Cheap sometimes is not cheerful Cakes where very disappointing Coffee from a self serv brew machine Dogs are not welcome Hygiene rating of 5

We had toasties, went down really well after our walk round the park. Good quick service, cakes to die for.

The cakes are amazing 👌🏻👌🏻 Especially the mars bar cake! The staff was very friendly and helpful! We will definitely be back again! Thanks 🙏

We had really looked forward to a yomp round the fell and then a treat at the café. Boy how disappointed we were! Firstly the coffees and hot chocolate are from a machine and you help yourself. Even so, it's a whopping £2.40 for a hot beverage. The cakes were all wrapped in cling film. I had the Mars Bar crispy cake which was pretty nasty: I'm sure that no Mars Bars had been used in the making of the cake and it was made with tasteless cooking chocolate. The young lady we paid was very pleasant but with a touch button machine for drinks and cling-filmed cakes, she had very little to do. We won't be back, nor will we recommend the cafe to anyone which is a shame because it was relatively busy. It could be so much more...

We’ve walked around Beacon Fell many times but never eaten in the cafe before. Although small, the seating is well placed and there is further seating outside (dogs also allowed outside, not inside). Excellent food, would visit again if we come without the dog or on a day fine enough to sit outside.

Came here New Year's Day when it was very busy. Despite that the staff were friendly and relaxed. Teas and coffees + cafe snacks. All homemade. The soup is always good. Sandwiches are filling and weĺl presented. The cakes look good. Perfect for a light lunch whilst enjoying the outdoors. Prices are fair.

Called for lunch over half term with a 5 year old excellent explanation of menu welcoming staff super lunch

Great café for a nice hot cuppa and a sandwich or cake after that beautiful walk only face 4* as no dogs allowed

I came here with friends. We arrived 15 minutes before closing and found the staff to be very unwelcoming to the point of rudeness. We were told that we couldn't have a sandwich because she had cleaned up and we couldn't pay by card because she had tilled up. As we were leaving one of the staff members rudely pointed at our empty packets, cups etc and said "what are you going to do about that?" All in all not a good visit.

I was very pleased to see that the Beacon Fell cafe is open again. It flows into the visitor centre which is a great place to start a walk around the feature. Coffee and teas with confectionery. Very popular location as i visited on a Thursday in Summer and the co-located car park was very busy.

Clean and pleasant place to get a snack but the menu is basic and the quality is bog standard, it is however very overpriced for what it is, but I suppose they are able to charge so much due to the location. The wellie swap/ borrow box is a nice idea.

Visited with friends for a cuppa' and a slice of cake. Staff were pleasant enough but the tea was a bit strong and the cake quite dry. The rest of the menu might have been fantastic, but our's was certainly quite mediocre

Delucious leek and potato soup. It was great to have a little snack watching stunning views around ☺

Excellent. Small menu. Tea, coffee, cake and ice cream. All you need after a walk round the fell. Attached to the visitor centre.

Went for any early dog walk as a family. Beautiful cold frosty morning. Called in Cafe for hot chocolate and cake absolutely yummy 😋 great service. We only live In Goosnargh village And very lucky to have this on our doorstep. Love it up there.

The cafe is well placed next to the carpark and the selection of sandwiches and cakes is good. The prices are a little steep but as it is the only place around I suppose that is to be expected. The food is lovely though and the cafe has both indoor and outdoor seating catering to any weather.

Stopped here after a dog walk. Coffee is from a machine cake was nice. Can to around £7 for two coffees and two lumps of cake which we thought a bit dear.

Absolutely loved the food after a great walk in the woods with the dogs! Also outdoor seating which is very good in summer

A lovely little cafe to warm-up in after a winter stroll in the woods. The staff are amazingly friendly and attentive, nothing is too much trouble. Can't wait to come back!

Beacon Fell is not a place you should come if you are only interested in coffee shops. This cafe is a good place for a quick drink and snack after a long walk in the park.

The cafe is pretty basic. Sandwiches, cakes and drinks were all okay but expensive for what they were. The staff were awful. They looked miserable and disinterested. It came across as rude.

The cafe is very basic and needs a refurbishment. However this is compensated by the fantastic views

Yo vengo aquí regularmente en mi 2 horas excursiones en bici y siempre tienen una taza de té o café y uno de sus deliciosos pasteles. Cierto, la fruta o pasteles esponja están envueltos y se aferran película húmeda pero son una torta seca que...

Metimos en para una taza de café después de una visita a Beacon Fell. No hay mucho que decir en realidad. . . Sirve una taza de té y pasteles. A un precio razonable.

Un fantástico café y comida a un precio razonable. Sándwiches tostados son buenas y patatas, bocadillos fríos, chaqueta de salchichas y bacon barms también están a la venta junto con una selección de pasteles, galletas y helados. El café es limpia, con zonas de asientos tanto en el interior como en el exterior.

Mi esposa y yo caminamos por Beacon Fell una tarde y parado para refrescos en el café, el café es básico pero muy refrescante

Necesitábamos un café, así que conseguimos lo que necesitábamos! Fue una máquina de bebidas calientes de autoservicio y que estaba bien.

Beacon Fell is so lovely but is let down by The Café. There isn't a wide choice really and the prices are a bit on the high side, especially if there are a lot of you? It is much better and more natural to bring a picnic.

Took dog for a walk and paid visit to cafe afterwards for a cup of coffee and some cake. Wow huge mistake. Staff arrogant and rude, cake wrapped in cling film for so long it was sweatier than a marathon runners arm pit and an over priced HALF cup of coffee which you had to self serve from a machine. Massively overpriced for what it is and extremely poor. Avoid it and take your own picnic or wait till on your way out and visit one of the local pubs spending your money at a place that appreciates it.

Whilst visiting Beacon Fell - had a good 3hr s there - we availed ourselves of a lunch when we arrived and a drink etc before we left. The staff are excellent - service prompt and the small menu of food was great for the children and very good value. It is ideal for anybody visiting the woods who have not brought a picnic or refreshments with them

Come here a lot for a walk and toastie. Cafe is also the visitor centre. Sit in the centre to eat and there is a window the looks out onto a feeding area for wild birds where they are joined by other wildlife. Well worth a visit

The friendly welcome and great selection of food makes a perfect end to an afternoon out on the fell

We lunched here during our visit to the country park. It was a Lovely day and the cafe was busy. The food was well prepared and good value. Service was also good

Had coffee and cake after walk with daughter, granddaughter and son. Lovely little cafe with friendly staff

The. Age serves snacks and drinks which are very good after having had a walk around the fell and forest.

Basic but friendly, not many seats inside but plenty of space outside. You wouldn't come here just to go to the cafe, but it's spot on to service the fell visitors together with an informative information centre

nice little cafe in a great location just what you need after a long walk with the kids and dogs oh and the missus

The hot drinks are self service from a machine, but not bad as machine drinks go.Limited range of food, but adequate for what you would expect from a visitors centre café.The café is clean and the staff are friendly and polite.Always find the rangers on site very knowledgeable and helpful.

After a nice walk around the Fell and surrounding area we enjoyed nice hot drinks in a clean and comfortable environmental setting. Popular with visitors it is reasonable priced, but you have to pay for the carpark. There are tables outside and picnic tables dotted around the corners of the carpark.

Good Service but limited choice of Beverages especially when it came to Tea's, otherwise the Cafe was clean & staff were polite.

The coffee is out of machine and is very average, the cakes were very disappointing as wrapped in plastic and a little dry.Cafe itself clean but basic, ideally for muddy walkers but not ideal for you to take your elderly mother.

Nice to have a cafe available on the fell, but even accounting for the slightly difficult location, the prices are silly. Drinks are average (machine) and quite small, but £3.30 for a bacon barm is ridiculous!

Beacon Fell has long been a family favourite because there are beautiful walks and views for miles. The cafe is set in wonderful surroundings and is just the place for a snack and warming drink afterwards; reasonably priced. There is a window, set in the side of the building, where you can watch wildlife in its natural environment. A "must visit".

Took the kids and dog for a long walk and ended up in the cafe and the soup was amazing and for about £20 for 5 of us was well worth it. Defo be back again

What a find on a wet misty Monday. The staff were friendly. We had the homemade tomato and basil soup, scrummy. So many cakes to choose from and lovely big portions. Good value tooFrom our table we could watch the birds eating on the feeders; tits and finches and robins to name a few.Only a £1 to park .Lots of walks around the fell.A great place to visit some rain or shine.

Lancashire County Council have done a brilliant job here. Great facilities, with leaflets, access to a volunteer ranger, bird (and vole!) viewing window.Toilets are ok with disabled access and a family / changing room.Cheap or free parking - £1 for the day, which I'm happy to pay to support the place.Simple food - but always nice, particularly the soups ... Mmm :-)..and of course it's surrounded by the woodland, ponds, and moorland, which is great for all weathers - wether walking, ambling, cycling, or using one of their trampers.I've been coming here for years and will keep coming too.

Lovely spot close to Preston but out in the beautiful countryside. Nice cafe; just the job after one of the lovely walks available here

Beacon Fell Country Park is 185 acres of extensive conifer woods and moorland. Visitor Centre with cafe, picnic areas, 6 car parks, forest walks and viewpoints. Summit 266m above sea level.This little cafe tucked away is just great for your hot sandwich, toastie, baked spud or just coffee & cake (good selection, home made) After your walk around the Beacon where better? Good food, service, and if the weather is kind, sit outside with the views! brilliant!
