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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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".

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.

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!

Usually love coming here but was horrendous today. Table next to us was shouting loudly top of their voices. When asked if they could be quiet we were told no as they are staff at their other restaurant. Other people asked to move table. Sadly ruined my evening to the point o didn’t even eat my main. Asked if I could have it to take out shocking that they prioritise their staff over customers. Won’t be back for a while just think it’s ridiculous how loud people are without any consideration for others.
