The Old Cobblers in South Lakeland

As we were staying a few doors away and it was a rainy day, we decided to have a takeaway lunch from this lovely little takeaway/cafe. There were seven of us so we had a good selection of the hot food on offer and also chose some of their cakes for afterwards. The order was all freshly made while I waited and the food was delicious. The soup deserves a special mention as does the caramel shortbread. I read the one star review from someone who wasn’t allowed to take a dog in and the cafe owners are absolutely right with this - they are really small with I think only 8 seats and it wouldn’t be nice for other people eating if someone had a dog in there (and I say that as someone on holiday with two dogs). Definitely recommend The Old Cobblers.

Shocking did not get through the door no dogs allowed ! Its the Lake District . The cafe was empty they must loose at lot of money by not accepting well behaved dogs

Another cafe in Hawkshead that closes at 2pm on a Friday in July. Didn’t even get through the door before we were told ‘we are closed.’ Won’t be back to try again. Businesses in Hawkshead are struggling, visitor numbers are declining, sad to see

Superb home made cakes and savouries. Tried the sausage roll, fresh out of the oven - excellent! Also managed to sample a few of the cakes and traybakes. All lovely. Worthy of special mention for me is the coconut tart with chocolate base.

Nice friendly cafe centrally located. Small. Does a lot of takeaway breakfasts which must be good. Ambience would be better with gentle background music otherwise everyone's whispering.

Lovely little cafe just off the centre of hawkshead. We only had coffee and cake, all delicious and homemade. Quite basic menu but all, pies and sausage rolls included, made fresh. Reasonably priced. They only have 3 tables but on a nice day a takeaway would be ideal.

Tiny cafe in the centre of hawkshead village. Only 3 tables. Drinks served in lovely pottery and staff friendly. Cake was really good. Only complaints would be why wrap all the cakes in cling film? It doesn’t look nice. Also they turned away a family of 4 as they only had 3 chairs free but space for more. Buy more chairs! Crazy turning away business. Lovely quaint cafe but could be made bigger by clearing out unneeded furniture and getting rid of the cling film.

Situado cerca de la galería de Beatrix Potter en el centro de Hawkshead, este es un pequeño café. Un montón de colores pastel encantadores y una selección de pasteles, tartas, etc. Precioso para el té de la tarde. Es pequeño pero el personal fue muy amable. Vale la pena buscarlo.

it is small, but if you find a table the you are well taken care off. lots of local people dropping in to buy. that showed me that local people trust this place. i did not fond it expensive. i had a sandwich and a cup of tea. then i thought why not try a bake well tart, oh very nice . so nice that i bought another two to help me on my journey back home. Guess who is going to the gym next week ha ha . well worth the prices. lovely staff. and i wont forget this place in a hurry . thank you to all members of staff, you all deserve a pay rise xx

As a family of 5 with 3 young children 11,9 and 8 we were lucky to find this place and get a table in it as we had a lovely relatively inexpensive healthy lunch. Found Hawkshed eateries very expensive for a family. Unfortunately all their pies had sold out when we arrived but we did get lovely freshly make sandwiches. Staff were friendly and were always kept busy even though the cafe is very small. Seemed a lot of locals used this cafe for takeaways. If I was in Hawkshead again I would definately go back here

We happened on this cute little tearoom which only has 3 tables.Luckily one was free so we sat down and ordered a light bite for lunch. We both had a piece of the homemade cakes (a scone and a bakewell) which were delicious and served by friendly staff. Locals were always popping in to buy things which demonstrates this little eatery is recommended. Great find!

Usually when in Hawkshead we have a pub lunch if we eat at all , but on this occasion we only wanted a sandwich and a soft drink. A couple of the places we would usually choose were closed so we wandered a little further and spotted The Old Cobblers. Unfortunately it was full ! We returned 3 more times before spotting a couple leaving and dived in quickly before the seats were taken ! It does not take many people to fill this room as it only has enough seating for 8 - 2 x tables for 2 +1 x table for 4. Inside it has a cosy, cottagey feel- lovely on a cool damp day. There were a selection of cakes on the counter which we didn`t try but the sandwiches we ordered were delicious- fresh with plenty of filling. The 2 ladies who served there were very friendly and pleasant and we were pleased with our little `find`. Now we know its there we shall definitely go again.

Abigail served us and was so lovely and friendly ☺️ Would come back just because of Abbigail 😊😊😊😊😊

Really nice little tea house. Not many tables but really quaint. Great service and value. Really nice place to stop right opposite the Beatrix Potter Gallery.

35 years ago as kids we used to come here to get an apple pie for after dinner and it's brilliant to see on my return in 2017 that it's still open. Cheap, great pies, veggie ones too.

Awful coffee in tiny tea room, unwelcome plastic tablecloths. Didn't try food as it looked very unappetising sitting on side unrefridgerated

Made very welcome on a cold day. Had lovely hot soup, tea and delicious home made cake, very good value and service.

Returned to this very small coffee shop. If you start at the main car park you do have to walk right through the village but its worth it. We had coffee and cakes which were very good but the best part was talking to the owners and the one other customer; we got a lovely insight into the community that is Hawkshead. The food is genuinely home made and we will return for something more substantial

We stopped in here after hiking to Latterbarrow and back. The home made soup went down really well, butterbean and sundried tomato along with a beef and horseradish sandwich and a cheese and onion toastie. Solid, homemade fare. You cannot go wrong.

This is a small (three tables) but friendly place with a local clientele (good sign). Good value drinks and known for its pies.

Mi pareja y yo nos detuvimos aquí para tomar un bocadillo del menú para llevar, sólo hay tres mesas y todos estaban llenos. Me alegro de que no comimos en aunque porque era de verdad una de las peores sándwiches que jamás haya tenido un bocado. Pedí el bocadillo de salchichas y para una zona famosa por genial Cumberland salchichas me emocionó encontrar estos eran los baratos 30% variedad de estilo y sabor de la carne que nos sentimos más como pan que el pan en sí. También me di cuenta de que no eran recién preparado, fueron sacados de la nevera y superficial. "sándwich caliente de carne" de mi pareja era tan comestible. Una pena, porque podría ser un lindo y pequeño café y sin duda parece más auténtico que otros cafés en este pueblo, pero era una completa decepción y tengo que decir que tiró tanto sandwiches en la papelera sin tocarla!

Parada aquí para una taza de chocolate caliente y un tazón de agua para las mujeres preciosas perro la tienda de izquierda con dos preciosas butties para comer tarde muy limpio muy agradable!

Estábamos a punto de empezar uno de nuestros paseos, mientras camina pasado había un olor a recién salidos del horno, así que nos cortado de una comida para llevar que pudimos comer en nuestro caminar. Había sólo unas pocas mesas en la pequeña cafetería y un par de personal en el mostrador. No parecen estar bien organizados en los pedidos ya que sólo quería un par de cosas, pero parecía más interesado en clientes habituales y gente que vienen detrás de nosotros para pagar. Creo que pensaban que el otro había tomado nuestra orden. Pedimos una de ternera tarta de patata 'n' y pasty, pusieron ambas cosas en el horno para calentar, la compra me llevó 10 minutos. Teníamos el pastel y pasty sobre media hora más en nuestra primera parada en un reclamo excesivo. Ambas cosas fueron muy sabroso, bien cocinada y sazonada. Si estás en la zona en la que vale la pena vuelve aquí para un aperitivo o para llevar de vuelta a su casa. Los precios muy razonables que vimos un rollo de salchichas para £1.20, mientras otro café pasado fueron más de £2.

A very small and cramped but cosy tea room with only 3 tables.A nice welcome from the two ladies who serve from behind the counter.We enjoyed Carrot & lentil soup with a cheese sandwich. Take away food is available, all being reasonably priced.It's a pity it is so small because several prospective customers looked in but had to go elsewhere. I can recommend the food, the pies and cakes also looked good!

Lovely small cafe run by a lady, lots of regulars using the cafe for takeaways, her cakes were amazing and a little gem of a find, definitely worth a visit to eat in or takeaway

We stopped in here for tea and cake and found both good quality. Indeed it was difficult to decide which cake to choose.

This is undoubtedly my favourite cafe in Hawkshead and well worth a visit. Lots of locals pop in for takeaways throughout the day, particularly the pies and pasties. Food is reasonably priced AND is excellent quality. It is very small but that adds to the charm. Cakes are delicious.

After many attempts to actually find this cafe open, when I finally did I did not manage to get totally inside before being very rudely turfed out, I will not be trying again. I don't know how this so called business survives!

This is a small place but it has some outside room. The freshly baked pies are amazing. Unfortunately they had sold out of my favourite meat and potato pie but the turkey and ham pie was delicious. Food quality and value for money were outstanding.

Lovely warm welcome. Ive now decided aswell as sausages, this ladies scones will be part of my last meal on earth.Lets not forget her Rocky road slices, melt in the mouth, with just the right amount of biscuit crunch and marshmallow goo. All washed down with a creamy, chocolatey Mocha coffee.The owner was the hostess with the mostest listening to my grumblings about my forced march through the Lake district woods with my superfit sweetheart.Thank you and hope you enjoy The Chronicles of Tania.Love and best wishes.Lacey Webs.xxxx

Very quaint little family fun cafe. Great for tea and cake. It's quite small but we liked that, and it is set in a beautiful village.

This is a tiny coffee shop but it packs a punch. Nothing too elaborate on its menu but what there is is perfect. The staff are cheerful and friendly and we could not help but notice how many locals were nipping in for pies etc to take away a sure sign they are doing something right.

We visited hawkshead and went to the old cobblers cafe.A friendly warm welcome greeted us,and had a toastie and tea .We then tried the home made cakes DELICIOUS !The cafe does sandwiches ,pies etc and all are lovely and fresh .Will definite go back again !
