The Old Sawmill Café in Craven

Beautiful fruit scone and coffee. Lovely cafe and extra friendly staff! Definitely worth a visit after a long walk in the rain! ☔️

Amazing breakfast…. As a local breakfast and cafe connoisseur - can’t believe I haven’t ventured this far! Lovely building and location, friendly staff and nice atmosphere.

Great spot close to the walking trails and near car park. Lovely atmosphere, good selection of food and reasonably priced. Coffee tastes great and so do the cakes! Paninis were a slight let down, salad wasn’t garnished and bread itself wasn’t anything special. Overall pretty happy with our visit and would definitely visit again.

This is one of my favourite haunts after a walk. We've had bacon butties, toasties, cakes and last week had the best Yorkshire Pud with sausage, roasties, peas and gravy - a bargain at £8.50. It's worth going in to read about the history of the Old Saw Mill. Although we only live 6 miles away, it's a regular call for us after a walk around Clapham/Austwick area. Excellent coffee too - always hot (which isn't often the case these days with these new fangled coffee machines). 100% I'd recommend this amazing cafe. Defo one of a kind.

A perfect spot for some Sunday morning reflection! Friendly staff, delicious coffee and even a slice of tiffin. I'll be back to sample that rainbow cake...

Gorgeous cafe, yummy drinks and friendly service! Great start to our walk and we will no doubt be back on the return journey!

Great atmosphere, delicious coffee and cakes. The service was friendly and efficient An excellent find and would recommend.

Went there for a study session. Staff were kind and offered to turn the music down if we needed to revise .Amazing food. Really good cakes. Staff are always pleasant and friendly. Lovely chatting to them.

Delicious as usual. Come every week for our study session and taste the traybakes. Our faves are definitely the brownies and millionaire slices

Great aesthetics working with the style of the old mill. Coffee was great (no sugar required for flavour), food was amazing, staff and service was exceptional. Would return, great stop after a walk.

Called in for drinks and snacks after a good walk along the trail. And I have to say what a fab little place. Wonderful coffee and amazing cake. My husband was especially impressed with homemade sausage roll. The staff were really lovely even though experiencing some technical issues with the till which must have been stressful during a busy period. Well worth a visit

Stopped here after walking the ingleborough trail. 3 mile walked finished with chicken nuggets and chips for the kid and a lovely homemade vegetable soup. Really nice cup of coffee would recommend and come back

Great coffee and food! Had the ham and cheese panini and a coffee before our walk 10/10 would recommend

Fantastic spot to start a walk to Ingleborough, started our walk with a coffee and ending with lunch. Lovely spot!

This was the worst money I’ve ever spent. We decided to try here for a change. All I can say it was an over priced Greg’s but lower quality. The tables were not clean the cutlery and plates were all throw away use once. At the price we paid I would have expected much more. We will not return.

Excellent flat white. Dog friendly. Beautiful unique interior. Had our coffee sitting by the waterfall - just lovely. Was also recommended by locals when we stayed in nearby Austwick which we took to be a good sign. Always happy to support independents.

This cafe is the best reason to start and end your walk in Clapham. Really cheery, warm place with friendly service.

Great homemade and delicious cakes and great venue Lovely surroundings and friendly staff would come again

Lovely friendly cafe with tasty food & good hot coffee followed by a walk along the trail. We will be back again.

This is an amazing place for Brunch. Dog friendly all staff are very friendly relaxing place. I highly recommend if you are visiting both York and next to the ingleborough caves.

One of the best cakes I’ve ever eaten ( and I’ve eaten and baked a lot!) The oat and fruit slice was soooo good. Nice cafe with a great atmosphere and lots of historical artefacts. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. The...

This is a beautifully preserved and adapted building in a beautiful location serving great breakfast and lunch food. Also free Wi-Fi. Loved my homemade tomato and basil soup. On the day we visited an upstairs room had an exhibition by local artist Brian Hindmarch. We...

A gorgeous cafe, lovely cooked breakfast, coffee was amazing and the staff were lovely and helpful. Dog friendly too which was brilliant. We loved the original saw mill equipment that had been preserved, really nice to see that!

We had a lovely lunch here after a wet walk to the caves. Very friendly and welcoming staff, especially with our dog Arthur who loved the all the treats! Would definitely come again.

We went on the nature trail walk and visited cave. We had a lovely time and the staff were really friendly. The butternut squash soup was banging!! Dog friendly (even wet ones!)

Stopped off here after visiting the cave. It’s in a beautiful spot. The building looks newly refurbished and is lovely inside. The staff were very friendly. We had cake and drinks which were very nice, but we didn’t have any hot food. Although the menu...

What a little gem in the heart of a picturesque village in the Yorkshire Dales. After a gorgeous walk up the nature trail and into the caves, my mother-in-law and I treated ourselves to delicious lunch here. Fresh, homemade and very reasonably priced; excellent menu...

Great cafe. Brilliant lunch and great coffee. The historic building is very interesting with a museum. and the staff great.

This spot was great for a pre cave coffee and millionaire’s shortbread followed by a post cave omelette and salad. Dogs are very welcome, with treats on the counter. Nice clean loos too

Absolutely lovely location, lovely concept, nice interior, really friendly service but it is simply just too slow even when it’s not busy. The staffing set up / systems just doesn’t really seem to work or flow right. I really want to like this place and...

Great tea spot - lovely staff, great tea cakes - would highly recommend as a post-walk spot. We’ll be back the next time we’re in the area!

Smashing staff, makes all the difference. Lovely display of local historical items, but best of all are the teacakes!

Great location for lunch before the caves. Good service and lunch, interesting interpretation of the mill.

Lovely, very dog friendly cafe, we had a great breakfast and the staff were so helpful and made us feel very welcome. Would definitely recommend to anyone and return next time we are in the area!

Great place to stop after a lengthy walk up to Ingleborough cave. Nice and clean…..the food was nice along with the fresh coffee.

Lovely food, very good sausage rolls! fast service and friendly staff! Nice relaxed atmosphere. Good value for money

We had an enjoyable family lunch to celebrate a birthday with the help of friendly staff, their good service and great food. They looked after our party, including three young children and a dog, making us feel very welcome. Warmly recommended.

All three of us enjoyed their English Breakfast. The larger breakfast would have been too much! Really tasty, freshly cooked, and served by very friendly staff. Dog friendly. Set inside the old sawmill with much of the original machinery on-site and tables cleverly fitted around....

We went to Clapham to visit the caves. The old sawmill was at the entrance to the cave walk so we took advantage to have some food first. It was a lovely menu with something for everyone. I had a coffee and a cheese and...

Fantastic cafe. Food was excellent. Service was brilliant. Dog friendly. Interesting place with parts of the old Saw Mill still there.

Great little cafe with superb kids hot chocolate with all the trimmings, my son loved it. Food was good too. Unusual table using an old saw bed.

We stopped off at the Sawmill on our way home from a weekend stay, the breakfast was very nice and reasonably priced too!

Stopped on our way home from our holiday with a few of my mates we was trying to find a place for food and This great choice Nice local place food nice would highly recommend

Great atmosphere and a lovely place to rest and grab a bite after a long hike. Would definitely recommend.

Great coffee, very tasty food and friendly staff. Well worth a visit if you’re in the area. P.S The truffle fries are amazing!!!

Lovely breakfast, the staff were great and I tasty coffee, wonderfully dog friendly also which is great thank you 😊

The walk to the Clapham caves is one of our recommended walks for friends and family visiting. It’s not something we have done recently and during that time The Old Sawmill has opened. Really friendly welcome and good tea / coffee + cakes. We are...

Visited on a Sunday morning for breakfast before our walk. Firstly it took quite some time to take our order at the counter but we eventually got there The coffee was served one at a time and orange juice delivered to our table and we...

Had a BLT + chips and a coffee. All the best we found on this trip. Fresh and tasty food with great service. Would recommend for anyone visiting the area.

Lovely little cafe. Gorgeous food and great service. Highly recommend the lemon blondie. Would definitely come back.

Came to see the caves, had lunch here. It was delightful! The scone was just so light. We also had carrot ginger soup and a tomato mozzarella panini. Everything was made just right. Portion sizes were decent. Will come back here if I’m ever on...

Lovely cafe with a great selection of food! The staff were great and very helpful. Definitely recommend if in the area!!

Lovely food and staff were great! They happily accommodated our big group (& dogs). Great start to the day before the Ingleborough Cabe Trail

Called in for a snack and a coffee. I had a homemade cheese pasty which was nice but I feel quite pricey for what it was. Coffee was good but due to being busy not served with my pasty. I like how they have kept...

Beautiful cafe , full of history, lovely friendly staff And great range of food . Must visit if In the area And it’s very dog friendly

What a fabulous place to visit the staff are fantastic friendly and always have a smile on there faces. Food was a Gastronomic Delight and reasonably priced. For a new and up and coming venue i had a wonderful time and will be back again....

For the life of me I fail to understand how this cafe has so many good reviews. The service was terrible, the food was pricey and below par. A cheese and onion panini with lots of onion and hardly any cheese, accompanied by a wilted...

Stopped in after going up the trail for a quick bite and a drink, nice and relaxed atmosphere, very inviting staff

Lovely location, good coffee and cake. Friendly staff. Dog friendly and good changing facilities for babies.

9 sweaty cyclists 🥵 stopped on Way of Roses tour. What a find! Fabulous location, great food & delightful staff. Highly recommend for coffee / lunch stop. Stylish conversion of Old Sawmill

Lovely cafe with excellent coffee & service. Vegan & gluten free cake choices were available, and a lovely atmosphere with friendly helpful staff. Dogs welcome, interesting setting inside the old mill with some nice photography of local scenes displayed. Pop into the entrance area to...

Friendly staff, delicious food and coffee. All in a great location! Dog friendly with free dog treats. Perfect!

This little cafe is THE BEST!!! I can't recommend it highly enough. 10 of us turned up, tired, wet and hungry on bicycles. They were so welcoming and friendly. The food is delicious, service excellent and cafe so pretty and interesting. Definitely go there!

Lovely little gem with hearty soups, breakfast sandwiches and history lessons of local industry on the walls. See the turbines and visit the caves right next door.

Beautiful interior but had several poor lunches.. watery curry water as soup.. sandwich which tasted odd had what looked like cheap cheese slice on and it tasted revolting. At around £8 way overpriced. In summer lots of young helpers milling round eating then serving food....

A little gem at the start of a lovely nature trail & Inglebrough caves. The staff are really friendly & helpful & the coffee & cakes are definitely worth a try. Lunch looked amazing too. Dog friendly & full of history. A great starting point...

Stopped off in lovely Clapham on our way to Waddington and had lunch here. Soup was great and the chips were just how I like them. Hubby had bacon and sausage bap. Staff dealt very well with a large group of cyclists who arrived at...

If your after a quirky, warm, inviting friendly cafe look no further Can highly recommend after a long walk

Visited after a walk to the caves and had a lovely lunch. Food was excellent (especially the soup!) and a proper latte. Staff were also first class. Well worth a visit and the sense of history makes it even more interesting.

Great until they wouldn’t let the kids use the toilet after we had visited the caves. We’d didn’t over £100 with them but at 1702 toilets closed 😞

Lovely food, friendly service - great location for gifting the walking cycling routes on the border between the Dales and the Forest of Bowland - portions a bit small for hungry cyclists (like me) and walkers - Food and service good enough to try again

After a good walk along Ingleborough Trail, the Old Sawmill was a fantastic place to sit, unwind and grab a cuppa. Very quick service and great friendly staff - to the point I commented to the Barista that the Cappucino I had was one of...

A wonderful place to relax and have food. Very good ambience and the family enjoyed well. The food was very tasty, I have the toasts and will recommend.

It is a perfect spot to break our journey. Set in a bonny village (short of parking on a sunny bank holiday), the Old Saw Mill accommodates visitors inc dogs, with its differently- sized tables & hard wood floor, tasty hot & cold snacks and...

We visited yesterday after a trip up to the caves. I have to give a massive thanks to Marianne. (I hope that’s correct) First was a big friendly welcoming from her when purchasing the tickets and really making an effort with my 2 little ones...

This is the best oat milk cappuccino I’ve had for a long time- lovey and smooth, just right. Relaxed atmosphere with a variety of seating options. Will definitely return soon.

Two visits on the same day before and after a walk- so coffee first and pot of tea later in the afternoon. The drinks and cakes are excellent but what makes the place exceptional is the welcome you get from smiling happy staff who go...

Amazing cafe… a must visit, food is great, coffee is delicious, tried falafel sandwitch, pasta, French fries, & coffee then again repeated sem things Maria lee - she is great enjoy

This is a lovely place, staff were welcoming and took our order efficiently and quickly.The food was nice and arrived in good time.I have knocked off one star as my toasted teacake was cold and my hot chocolate was, at best, tepid.My husband and brother...

I've been to the cafe a few times and haven't reviewed before as I am wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt as a new business (there will always be a few teething problems). Food is overpriced with small portions (apart from the...

Had some tasty pies with chips and gravy. Finished with some brownies and hot chocolates. Friendly staff and interesting building. Love how the mill has been kept.

Such friendly staff, great menu with good veggie and vegan options, plenty of space and dog friendly, highly recommended

A nice warm welcome and service from staff. The food was lovely and came quickly, we will definitely be coming back :)

The Old Sawmill Cafe is nestled at the foot of the Ingleborough Cave and Nature Trail in the beautiful Clapham village (not to be confused with its bigger sister in south west London). The cafe is housed in an old sawmill (clue in the name)...

A fab little cafe atthe start of the Ingleborough Trail. Lovely coffees and gorgeous cakes!! We pop in everything we pass

Our timing was perfect for our first visit to this place as it soon became really busy. There is a limited number of tables in the cafe but there is also seating along either side of the belt mechanism that power the saw. We soon...

Me and my fiancé took our little 6 month old pup for a day out round the nature trail and also visited this lovely cafe whilst there. Honestly me and my fiancé couldn’t rate this place highly enough! Every single member of staff we came...

From the moment we arrived brilliant staff. Pleasant walk up to the cave and back. Chicken burger and fries. Both beautifully cooked , Not the fatty offering at others. Fries crisp on the outside and light and fluffy on the inside.

Cosy environment and atmosphere. Ideal location after walking ingleborough and gaping gill Plenty of cake options (gluten and vegan options also) Friendly staff. Strongly recommend a visit

This cafe is in the converted old sawmill which stood next to the start of the trail through Ingleborough Estate to the cave (£2.50 per adult). You now pay for the trail in the cafe. We had really lovely sandwiches and drinks at the end...

The Café owner was lovely. She guided us on how to reach the Gaping Gill. Food at the Café was amazing. I had a triple chocolate brownie and a smoky tomato lentil soup. Both were delicious. The Café has a cozy setting and interesting furniture...

The coffee is good and the cakes are excellent even when gluten free. The staff are so friendly. We have been here many times and the food is always tasty

It was definitely one the best experiences of my life the customer services was above and beyond perfection. Marianne & Ruby were the sweetest and I’m definitely coming back to this beautiful place again more than once. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

Beautiful cafe and comfortable place to sit after the hike. Mary Ann was a dear and delightful to talk to.

We visited the old sawmill cafe after a lovely walk along the stunning nature trail. We enjoyed a delicious coffee and cake, we even decided to pop in again on bank holiday monday. Thankyou to Hayley and Marrianne for looking after us, the hospitality was...

I love this cafe. It is such a great way to showcase local history and provide a warm bight place to relax after a walk or gentle meander through the charming village of Clapham.

we had a wonderful lunch before strolling up the walking trail. A sausage roll and delicious homemade soup. Tasty food and grear coffee with friendly staff, lovely surroundings. We will most certainly be returning!

What a lovely Gem to find in a picturesque village. The cafe was so welcoming after a long walk. Being amongst the old sawmill machinery added to the authenticity of the place. We were a party of 6 and all of us had tasty treats...

Tucked away in Clapham, this place is perfect for families and friends to have a nice catchup and a bite to eat. Food and desserts were lovely. Staff really friendly and happy to accommodate.

We visited this beautiful place after a nice walk to the caves and back it was just what we needed, lovely local food, soup was immense! We’ll be back
