The Outfitters Cafe Bar in Eden

The Outfitters is tucked away in Brough just off the A66 and is well worth a detour if you're heading along that road. We met up for lunch and a catch up with my cousin and it was excellent. Simple menu choices but everything we had was absolutely delicious. Beautiful tartiflette, delightful creamy garlic mushrooms both served with lovely crusty bread, and I chose a burger (home made, excellent) with Stilton and mushrooms, served with fries and a lovely fresh salad. Service from Daniel, front of house, was very friendly and efficient and he was more than happy to chat about the history of the building and the numerous theme nights on offer. The decor is quirky and eclectic and there is a lovely welcoming vibe about the place. Oh, almost forgot...we were unable to resist the rice pud for afters - wonderfully creamy and delicious, served with a dollop of home made jam. Perfection. This is an absolute gem of a place. Very highly recommended and we will definitely be back for more.

Absolutely excellent place to visit Dan fabulous host will definitely return regards Tina and Pete ❣️ would highly recommend

Came upon this small venue by accident. Interesting and quirky decorations. Very helpful and friendly staff. We did not expect much from a small place, but everything on the menu had a twist to it, and it was hard to choose. Our food was delicious, as were the hot drinks. Their bar offered a great variety of alcoholic beverages. We really enjoyed our short break here and are happy to recommend it.

We booked another place in Kirby Stephen, we walked in and left. Luckily we stumbled across the outfitters! Thank God we did Welcoming from opening the door. The staff were lovely and talked away. The food was all homemade and gorgeous. Will come back on our next holiday.

What a brilliant little find - stumbled upon it en route to the lakes. It was 9pm so although the kitchen was closed we had some delicious hot tapas ( homemade) and lovely wine and we were made to feel so welcome by the host … want to say Daniel? Gorgeously decorated welcoming little haven … bob in! It will make your heart happy.

Quirky setting, very friendly personal service. Great food with big portions, regular specials. Building was previously a gentleman’s outfitters. Small amount seating at street level and large area below with views of the stream

An unexpected find and what a delight! Fabulous welcome from the staff, great vibe, fabulous food and a very reasonable bill! What a great place! If you like a relaxed, friendly environment with good food, a personal vibe and no pomp, then this place is for you. Thanks Daniel and team for a lovely evening.

Pulled off the A66 into Brough en route from Keswick to York and 2 mins into the village found the Outfitters cafe bar. Received a really warm welcome from the owner and the locals created a really friendly atmosphere. There was a great menu of home cooked food and it was hard to choose. I had a jacket potato with coronation chicken and salad which was really delicious; my friend had creamy garlic mushrooms with crusty baguette which was equally good. Brilliant service and top quality food just 2 minutes from the main A66 I would highly recommend this place if you’re driving across the country between the M6 and A1 and want good food at extremely reasonable prices. Brilliant!

This is one of my favourite places to stop if I want a break driving across the A66. On this occasion I just had a coffee and biscuit, but I've previously eaten here and enjoyed it. The owner is always very friendly. So much nicer than stopping in a coffee chain or service station.

What a lovely day we had at The Outfitters Cafe Bar yesterday! A really warm welcome from Danny, a friendly & fun atmosphere, and plates full of delicious food from Chef Gavin. I highly recommend it, you will not be disappointed xx

Highly recommend! Beautiful location, amazing food, warm welcome from Daniel, great atmosphere & a unique setting - do yourself a favour, drop by for a drink & something lovely to eat - you won't regret it!

Was on a very long road trip and desperately needed to use a toilet. Unfortunately, there were not any service stations nearby at the time. Found The Outfitters cafe bar on Google maps with a very high rating, so we thought we’d stop to use the toilet and also purchase a coffee so that it was not to be rude to just use their facilities and not be a paying customer. Unfortunately, the staff member who served me at the bar seemed quite abrupt and rude when I asked if they had oat milk. As they didn’t, I just purchased one regular coffee for myself, as my partner cannot drink regular milk. With that done, we then used the toilet. Within that time, the same member of staff must have passed us two or three times (as I or my partner waited outside the toilet whilst the other used it) and told us that there were public toilets just outside the establishment. I thought that this was quite rude and felt very unwelcoming since we were in fact paying customers. If we happen to be passing through again, I don’t think that I would consider stopping by if we wanted to have a meal or more drinks.

Needed a break from a long journey and steadfastly refuse to use service stations. Drove into Borough on the off chance there would be a cafe that could serve us a light lunch. This is an unassuming place from the road but has an intriguing name so in we went. Fantastic, eclectic, interesting decor and lots of locals inside having lunch and a drink (licensed). Immediately made to feel at home and the food was extraordinarily good. Garlic and cream mushrooms and tartiflette were nigh on perfect. I would heartily recommend this place for the food and the welcome. We would seriously like to pop in for the evening too but it’s a long way from Harrogate.

What an amazing spot; we loved it! Gorgeous decor, a warm and friendly welcome from the owner and delicious food! The cafe/bar is beautifully decorated and so quirky. The bar is well stocked and there are great food choices. Highly recommend.
