The Posting Pot in Carlisle

Just absolutely perfect!! From the lovely welcome, the friendly service, brilliant atmosphere, all homemade cakes which is very rare these days, great tea, and the loveliest Christmas cake served with cheese if you wanted it (yes I did) which I tucked into while reading my slimming magazine!! You have something very special ladies. Also while your visiting the cafe you should tie in an Indian Head Massage with Zoe above The Posting Pot at Enliven Therapies.

The Posting Pot in Wetheral is a fabulous cafe. Great atmosphere delicious food and all home cooked. With amazing home made puddings. Will definitely be back

What a fabulous find. Too good to share really want to keep it to ourselves. Delicious. Staff go the extra mile

Its so friendly and they serve lovely cake food and drinks ! A little haven after a walk or just a drop in passing by

An excellent lunch with faultless service. It included delicious homemade vegan soup with homemade foccatta and vegan 'butter' .

A real hidden gem! We stumbled across the ice cream parlour online and thought we would try it on a Sunday afternoon. The ice cream was absolutely amazing, and with a great choice of flavours too. The guy serving us was really helpful, and gave great recommendation for choice of flavour. There is a really nice seating area outside too which we really enjoyed. We will be back!!

Lovely cafe in the centre of Wetheral Village. Always busy, so best to book. Liz and the team offer home cooked food from breakfast and light lunches to more substantial meals with great service. Always a pleasure to visit.

Lovely coffee & cake Very friendly staff and beautiful location.

Great service and great tasty breakfast rolls. Nice little cafe and thoroughly recommend.

After a big walk along the river, this cafe was recommended to us. We were pleased to find it was dog friendly with seating inside and outside. Nicely decorated inside, we received a friendly welcome and a menu. We chose paninis, tea and cake. Freshly prepared it was lovely and well presented. We had two pots of tea and were not rushed. It was very enjoyable. We noticed the staff taking care with all their customers with a smile. Thank you.

We found this restaurant on a cafe app as we were travelling through. Staff are so friendly and welcoming. The latte was probably the best latte I have had! Also I can highly recommend the brie toastie!

Lovely breakfast, great lattes and attentive staff. Really chill vibes and the server and kitchen staff made us feel welcome as non-locals ☺️

Beautiful little cafe and wonderful place to chill after a walk along the river bank. Also recommend the Melting Pot ice cream shed out the back!

Fabulous place. Lovely food, great location, really friendly staff. Highly recommended... and the beautiful little dog Jess is a real added bonus. 😁

We had a sandwich and tea which was very nice. As we were eating a gentleman came in and asked were dogs allowed (he had two) and was told yes. Bearing in mind my husband has a dog allergy there was nothing to say dogs were allowed so it was not ideal for us as the place isn’t that big. Food was lovely but sadly we won’t be back.

Nice little coffee shop in nice settings

Great food, friendly service and fantastic value. Blueberry scones were delicious.

I had a pannini with bacon ,brie, and sweet chilli jam accompanied by a salad. Delicious! The staff were really friendly. Highly recommended.

With glorious Cumbrian weather, we went to the new small ice cream parlour addition at the rear of the cafe. We had 3 ice creams, Tenon farm strawberry and cream, the house dairy free chocolate chip and a doggy ice cream for Peggy. Every one of us enjoyed the lovely sunny quaint private seating as well as the delicious ice creams. Served by lovely, enthusiastic helpful staff this is a great addition to this little cafe. We will definitely go back there again.

How nice to have a warm welcome in a chilly drizzly morning! What can I say- Dog-friendly, cosy atmosphere Real flowers on every table Local art on the walls Great bacon rolls and cups of tea.

Brilliant little coffee shop, excellent service, excellent food, very good prices and a friendly, relaxed atmosphere.

Great cafe,food excellent as was the service.

Popped in after getting off the train on a cold day, had a lovely cuppa and food, service was prompt, food was hot and fresh

Me and my friend had the most beautiful lunch at the posting pot today! I had the most delicious ham, salad and chutney sandwich and my friend had a tuna melt panini. Both came with crisps and a gorgeous salad. Absolutely perfect. It was so snuggly and warm in there with such a homely atmosphere. Such a warm welcome and we just felt so at home. Will now be my go to place for a bite to eat. 🥰 Thank you so much! 5 stars all round x

Fabulous little cafe at the Post Office just off the village green. We'd been trying to pop in for ages and finally the day fell right (We had manged to order hot paninis for collection once in the distant past, they were delicious). What a wonderful choice of hot drinks and treats, both sweet and savoury. We opted for regular and Earl Grey tea with plain and blueberry with lemon drizzle scones. We will try hard to visit again for a meal, to get the full experience. The staff were brilliant and helpful. Table service and takeaway available. Very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. Lots of chatter and a birthday celebration. There's a proper community feel here. I would recommend popping in just for a cuppa and a chat. Toilet facilities for customers including baby changing. There's a slop to the facilities, but please be mindful that there is an odd step to negotiate.

Delicious food and wonderful atmosphere. The staff are friendly and attentive. The food was homemade and fresh and there was a good range of choice. Im vegetarian and had a mushroom and cheese tart with cheese sauce which was delicious. The coffee was great, and they have a selection of teas and other drinks. They were also very kind to my dog and gave her a water bowl. Highly recommend.

Really lovely food here! Very cozy and nice atmosphere. Can’t wait to go back. 10/10

From start to finish, this Christmas lunch was perfect. Mulled wine, Prosecco, delicious food and lovely staff. If my Christmas lunch is half as good, I’ll be very happy! Marvellous!

Beautiful breakfast, these are the best mushrooms I've ever eaten 👌i wanted to try everything on the menu as it all sounded lovely. Very friendly service, wish u lived closer as I'd be here every day 🤌👌👍

Nice little place. Book a table

Delicious scones and hot chocolate

We decided to go out for breakfast and popped into the Posting Pot. Absolutely gorgeous food and drinks, dog friendly (Just as well for us as he likes to say hello to everyone) and extremely friendly staff. If you are ever in the area, this is definitely a must!!! On top of it all, the prices are excellent :)

Thoroughly enjoyed a cooked breakfast and staff were lovely

Such a great little place, had a gorgeous bacon roll and an oat milk hot chocolate which was lovely, welcoming staff and friendly atmosphere xx

Love this little cafe! You can’t go wrong, whether it’s breakfast with friends or lunch with your mum. Breakfasts are delicious with high quality produce, a great main menu and lots of yummy specials. Always well looked after by Liz and her wonderful team and always a lovely, friendly atmosphere! Marvellous!

My wife and myself are holidaying in the Lake staying at the Crown Hotel in Wetheral and shortly after our arrival we were given a lunch recommendation at the nearby Posting Pot - which is half cafe/restaurant and general store/Post Office. We were warmly welcomed by a very nice lady (Elaine or Liz?) - who also gave us some directions for a walk along the River Eden - and we were soon enjoying the Soup of the Day (Broccoli) which was served with crutons and some lovely granary bread. It was so delicious that we returned to the Posting Pot after our walk for Tea for Two accompanied by a generous slice of home made local fruit cake. I suspect these won’t be our only visits to the Posting Pot!!

Fabulousabd scrummy coffee and cake, delightful staff. Loved the outside tables in the sunshine.

Fitted us and our dog in. Nice food , great staff

Nice people and very friendly 👍

Great place for Breakfast and other food times. Food was excellent

Brilliant cafe. I’m a regular visitor with my cocker spaniel Skye. Staff are very friendly, coffee and food excellent. Highly recommend.

Warm and welcoming. Food always good and value for money

Excellent breakfast Tim This morning we both really enjoyed it's the best ☺️ and just love'my cuppa tea in China cups see u guy's soon 🤗

Simple, uncomplicated food. Warm and welcoming atmosphere.

Excellent dog friendly cafe. Liz and staff go out of their way to make you feel welcome. My cocker spaniel loves this cafe as she gets treats. Highly recommend.

Lovely and popular tiny cafe. Food and drink were nice, staff were friendly and attentive. We had to share a table with strangers or have take out. Other people were more than willing to share and super friendly

Perfect breckie, lovely wee place, great service. Excellent Post Office and shop too. Avoid those M6 service stations and support local businesses like this. 10 mins off junction.

Excellent service must try there rose pink hot chocolate absolutely the best hot chocolate ever

Oh my goodness! If you want the most delicious ever afternoon tea, get to The Posting Pot (ring them first!). Honestly, I don’t think you could get a better one anywhere! Little cup of soup, Brie and pesto tartlets, a selection of beautiful sandwiches, cheese scone with cream cheese, various salads, coleslaw, carrot sticks with dip, cheese wrapped salami, bruschetta with tomatoes or mushrooms, scones with clotted cream and jam, strawberry and cream cupcakes, grapes, chocolate covered strawberries, divine chocolate brownies, summer fruit Eton Mess, Prosecco and tea and coffee! I think that was everything! Yes, we were full!!! 😋😋😋Thank you so much Liz Blythe and Elaine White. Wonderful! 😘🥰😘

Lovely breakfast and delicious looking cakes

Had breakfast, cheesy scrambled egg on toast & bacon roll. Called back later and had hot drinks, scone & key lime cake. Cakes home made, scone fresh and delicious, cake spongy, moist & lime rind tangy. Specials board looked good too. Good service. Lot of tables. Local paintings on walls. Post office next door with shop, overlooks green.

Beautiful afternoon tea with proscesso very reasonable good service very friendly would highly recommend .

Updating to add that we loved this café, the staff were lovely and managed to put together a vegan breakfast which was much appreciated!

I love coming to visit this coffee shop always great food, amazing cheese scones and cakes. The staff are all so friendly, it's a wonderful place to have a coffee and a treat. Should book on a Saturday lunch time as gets very busy.

Really lovely little place ... Think just 4 or 5 tables ... With another couple outside if it's fine weather ... Obviously very popular ... Great atmosphere ... Cheerful ladies serving ... And best of all the most delicious, non-greasy, bacon, sausage, mushrooms and toast ... Friends had the breakfast with eggs which looked equally delicious ... And lovely coffee too ... Was just before we left for the journey home from holidays and was just perfect ... 😍😍😍

I had a very scrummy brie, bacon and chilli jam panini at The Posting Pot today! Took some cheese scones, rocky road and a caramel shortbread back for the family which were a huge hit. Will 100% be back.

Wow what a breakfast and lovely coffee what a hidden gem of a place staff friendly give it a try definitely worth it

When to weatheral cafe today had a lovely cooked breakfast .no complaints from me was spot on .will go back again .reasonable prive to well worth the visit

We enjoyed a great breakfast here sitting in the sunshine -- fresh food, terrific service and at a good price -- thanks. And a nice grocery shop too in the Post Office section.

Gorgeous raspberry scone and the deluxe hot chocolate was amazing! My son loved it and the cup it came in. Friendly staff. Lovely atmosphere.

Delicious afternoon tea for my mum's birthday in this cosy cafe. Would highly recommend.

We have had some great experiences of village shops with cafes recently - and this is a good example. We were looking for somewhere for a break - lunch and a walk - while travelling back from Scotland, and this lovely village with its special cafe, post office and shop combination absolutely fitted the criteria. We were able to get a park right outside - but there is never going to be a problem getting a park somewhere close by. There are lots of outdoor tables but at the time we arrived, it was damp outdoors and everyone had headed inside. We were able to get one of the tables in the big bay shopfront window and to enjoy both the outlook and the natural light. Friendly service and fresh sandwiches with a cafetière of coffee - so good that after our walk, we returned for scones and more hot drinks. There is a toilet at the rear, an attractive village green opposite, some lovely walks that you can set out from here, and you are just up the hill from the equally attractive railway station. A pleasant cafe in a pleasant village.

Super gem of a cafe in the heart of Wetheral, great cup of coffee, my raspberry scones were lovely, and staff really friendly and welcoming. The menus for all day looked really good, with a nice variety, and all the food being served looked excellent.

Love the coffee and all the cakes!

Raspberry scones eaten as we sat outside - perfect. Staff pleasant as always.

Lovely food. Excellent friendly service

A great place to have tea or coffee and cake. A friendly welcome with outside seating . Very good choice of cakes and scones including delicious gluten free. Very tasty coffee served. Very warm and friendly staff.

Today was a limited menu after a very busy Jubilee weekend and it being a Monday. It did not matter as warm feta cheese covered in sweet chilli sauce with avocado and warm pita bread took our fancy = beautiful.. never had this before but will definitely be returning. Then Eton mess in a brandy basket - so wanted to ask for another. The service was the best. The staff are very friendly and a wonderful atmosphere. Beautiful tables outside with red and white checked tables cloths. They looked brilliant! I will be back very soon x

Food here is lovely as are the staff...homemade cakes & scones are a must.My favourite is the cheesy scrambled eggs with bacon...best I've ever had.Family run business in a beautiful little village.

A warm welcome, excellent service and delicious food waits for you at The Posting Pot. We enjoyed a relaxing and very pleasant time and the choice is excellent for such a small eatery , There is plenty of art work to look at whilst you wait for your individually made food to arrive with a smile. I look forward to many more visits.

An unexpected find - a great cafe with good food & service

Delicious fresh food, amazing choices on offer - nothing is too much trouble. A friendly welcome is guaranteed! I highly recommend; you won’t be disappointed.

Simply one of best cafe menus I’ve ever seen such range and quality. The food was superb something I would see in a classy restaurant and the staff were so friendly. Nothing but excellent all round, great value for money and cosy interior decor. Had to leave a tip, this review and will be back with more friends and family in the future!

Great little place, the food was amazing and service with a lovely smile.

The staff are amazing and friendly, food and beverage excellent

Great find in a lovely village setting a short stroll from a spectacular river. Friendly and SAFE service and good quality limited menu although they had sold out of chicken by 13:00!’ Food tasty. Busy with locals which is a good sign. Toilets and adjacent PO shop. Excellent

This is an amazing cafe serving really tasty home made food with lots of vegetarian options. Small and cosy with friendly staff and great service. Highly recommended

Absolutely first class in all aspects, food, service and atmosphere. I wish they were open of an evening as I would love to have taken my wife and friends there for dinner.

My elderly mother and I have lunch almost every week in the lovely Posting Pot. We love the food, the coffee, the decor and best of all the wonderful, friendly and helpful staff. My mother is unable to walk very far so if I can't park directly outside I stop nearby and take her in to our table, sit her down and then go and park my car. The staff are familiar with our situation, bring water to the table and wait for me to come back whilst making sure that my mother is comfortable. I want to take this opportunity to thank all the staff here for their support and brilliant service. I only wish I could give them 10 stars!!

We were staying at the Crown Hotel but fancied a little walk before breakfast. This did amazing coffee and the cheesy scrambled egg with bacon was to die for.

Stopped here going to the lakes with a couple of friends. Can’t fault it. Staff dead friendly and food was excellent & fresh. Highly recommended (especially the Rice Krispie bar!)

lovely village coffee shop, super selection of home made scones and cakes. Friendly staff who can't do enough for you.

Love this place. Great scones and cakes. Haven't tried sandwiches or soup, but looks tasty. Staff always friendly and helpful. Would highly recommend.

This is a very well run cafe, serving excellent food. It has few covers and a not too extensive menu, which means what they do, they do well. We noted there is a For Sale sign on the building, so would be unsure of the business's future. Just an enjoyable experience.

My family and I stopped in at the Posting Pot for lunch while visiting Wetheral. We didn't have particularly high expectations but were pleasantly surprised, both by the quality and range of food on offer, and by the friendliness of the staff. Well worth a visit if you're passing through this beautiful village.

I just love the Posting Pot. I go there most days, its a ritual, Gym then for coffee at the Posting Pot. Lunch is fantastic also. I follow them on Instagram and see what delicious delights they have on the menu.Something for everyone.Izzy & Tom

Had a great bowl of soup for lunch followed by piping hot coffee and a lovely traybake. Friendly staff. Went back the next day to buy cakes to take home. They were so tasty.

We were staying at the Crown Hotel for a few days and wandered up to the Posting Pot for lunch on Wednesday 17th October. I had a cheese and ham toastie and was very impressed with the quality of the food and the fresh salad. The staff are very friendly and the service was excellent. We will definitely be back when we return to the Crown. Excellent value for money as the food is so fresh.

We checked this place out on Trip Advisor and we are glad we did! The reviews were correct! Lovely place and people! The food was well priced and a great little selection!

Popped in for Breakfast last week with a friend and had a beautiful Breakfast, fresh well prepare good atmosphere and a Lovely coffee to go with it. Great Value as well as Friendly staff very attentive bright and bubbly, it was a pleasure to call in and we will be back no question about that. Well done and we'll be thoroughly recommending the 'Posting Pot'

Popped in today after a lovely walk along the river. Staff were extremely helpful and friendly, we just had a light lunch but it was very nice and staff very attentive to my two grandchildren

Tea and cake was delicious. Served in fine china cups. Sitting outside on a nice sunny afternoon - what could be nicer

On passing thru the village this little cafe caught our eye. So we about turned and called in for a cuppa. This led to us ordering a full breakfast and a pot of tea. Very nice ! Sausages are very tasty.

Go for breakfast alot, but today sadly disappointed changed breakfast menu, and got a half brained staff member order wrong,

A great selection of homemade food and baking to sit in or take away. Nice, friendly service too. Would happily recommend.

Lucky to have The Posting Pot on my doorstep , always the warmest of welcomes in this cosy cafe located on the village green in the beautiful village of Wetheral .

Visited the Posting Pot today with my 6 month old little boy, my Mum and my Gran. Food was excellent and staff were lovely, warmed my babies food no problem at all and one of the cooks even came from the kitchen to make a fuss and hold my son. Lovely, welcoming atmosphere and great food. Will certainly be back as I never got to try to cakes that were on offer and they looked AMAZING!

I visited the Posting Pot with my two daughters. We have been before and found it a nice place to go for lunch. It wasn’t busy and we quickly decided what we all wanted. Then we sat for over 5 minutes being ignored by the waitress. It wasn’t until I got up and went to the counter (in 3 steps - we were that close), that she took our order. One daughter wanted soup - ‘can she have it with white bread please?’, answer ‘no, it only comes with brown’. Ok, so I ordered it with brown. I also ordered two sandwiches - one with Brie on brown and one plain cheese on white, 2 hot chocs and a tea. The hot chocs arrived, but no tea. I waited several minutes - the waitress could see I was tea-less but continued ignoring us and wiping the counter. I reminded her I was still waiting for my tea. She rolled her eyes, prepared the tea and then literally slammed it on the table, no apology. The food then arrived - a little mediocre for the price but that’s ok. My daughter had salad in her sandwich - I took it to the counter. ‘I asked for plain cheese’, ‘no you didn’t’, ‘er, I’m sorry but I did’. Plate snatched away and again, slammed back down with the salad removed, bits of grated cheese all over the plate where clearly it had been hastily removed. We then ate our lunch in silence while she stood 2 meters away, glowering, making us feel uncomfortable. I paid and we left, clearly not welcome back. No pleasantries, nothing. Perhaps she was having a bad day - whatever, we won’t be going back.

We have been a number of time in the last two years and always found the coffee and scone to be very good. The selection of cakes and drinks is very good too. The venue is small and cosy inside and well used by locals, the outdoor seating is convenient for dog walkers to use.

Cold and rainy day in Wetheral so called in for breakfast having walked the dog. Great quality and made changes as requested without any fuss. Price a little top heavy for a cafe but would return.
