The Quayside At Glasson Dock in Lancaster

Steak Canadian and Onions to die for, brought to the car by a beautiful young lady, lovely friendly staff and all at a very very reasonable price ( the food not the staff ).First time here but very definitely will be back. A hidden gem!!!

Called in today for a brew and these guys are fantastic.good coffee, nice cake but best of all they made a real fuss over our dog Enzo.brought him a sausage and so much love. Thank you and we will be back

We call in the quayside cafe on a regular basis..the food is excellent. We have a full breakfast every time we go it is delicious. The service is good and it is dog friendly..also good value for money

Fantastic food and lovely staff! The vegetarian breakfast was one of the best I've ever had 👌 and the cakes are delicious

Always a great place to visit lovely people who run it great section of quality food and lots of other goodies

6 friends so 6 different meals from a varied, competitively priced menu. All our meals were tasty, with quality ingredients and generous portions. Reserved table prior to our visit and received super friendly service from the cafe staff on the call and during our visit. Pleased I booked as got very busy later which is always a good sign of a great cafe. Highly recommend Quayside and will definately visit again!

We Called in the quayside cafe for some lunch, it was very busy but nothing was too much effort. The staff were very helpful and friendly, the food was amazing. This cafe is a true hidden gem .

Dropped in on a wet afternoon and was met by very warm welcome by friendly staff offering a wide range of food all of which looked extremely good. Can highly recommend the lemon meringue pie

Great tasting food with wonderful friendly service. We sat outside as the sun was shinning. We all enjoyed our dishes. I would highly recommend anyone visiting Glassdon Dock eats here! Photo: my dish Tuna Melt.

Our first time here, plenty of choice on the menu. Both indoor and outdoor seating too. Friendly staff.

Lovely place to visit especially in the summer months,lots of wildlife along the estuary and canal and plenty of forms to sit on to take in the lovely views that glasson has to offer.

Really friendly service. Staff clearly have a laugh with each other. The food is quality. Well cooked and well presented. Thanks guys. Next time I'm up from London I will be back

Called in on our way up to Scotland for a breakfast. It's a little "off the beaten track" but what an amazing place. Very clean and tidy restaurant, super friendly staff, the cooked breakfast was excellent (I had turn down the offer of extra toast as I am unable to eat as much as I used to) It's a dog friendly place. Beautiful location - I should like to take an hour to explore the dock next time I visit. I will definitely be calling in here again soon!

Lovely friendly staff Always great service Good quality food Great value Wish I lived nearer to visit more ! 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

Good food and good service. Thank you!

Dog walking and finally manage to get a seat outside at Quayside. Weekends are always packed….and now I know why!! Excellent value and quality products…no Aldi sausage here!! Great service from attentive staff!! Would recommend without a doubt!!!

Long wait for fish and chips but they were nice

Great service and excellent breakfast.

We stopped at The Quayside cafe for breakfast and were not disappointed! We had The Big Quayside breakfast, eggs royale the muesli. All lovely and really tasty. Great sausages too which can often be a disappointment! Good coffee and tea too. The team working in the cafe were absolutely brilliant! Very friendly and great fun too. Thoroughly recommend if you are visiting Glasson Dock.

Just stopped for pyot of tea , sit and watch the world go by. If the sunshine is out ( which it was) it's a beautiful and tranquil place.

Highly recommended! It was pleasure giving you such a review

Had coffee and cake here. Didn't have any savoury food but the plates coming out to other tables looked great (turkey sandwiches with crisps, salad and homemade chutney). Great selection of homemade cakes, frothy cappuccinos and a view over the lock towards the Lake District across the Lune. Beautiful.

Our niece and nephew live in this lovely little village. This cafe/restaurant caters for all with a varied menu and specials. All homemade and absolutely gorgeous. The owners and staff need a very special mention because they have got to be the friendliest group of people we have ever met. Hope to be moving into the area soon so cannot wait to try all your dishes.

Extremely busy, lovely lively atmosphere, staff very nice. There was a very long wait for food but as mentioned before, very, very busy. So if you are in a rush probably not the place for you.

Complete surprise. Lovely cafe with super helpful team. Brilliant M6 escape. Very friendly, lots of dog walks and super deli next door

Excellent food and lovely friendly staff. The dog enjoys her sausages too. Well recommended.

We have been visiting this cafe for many many years, indeed this is the third ownership we have experienced and it is by far the best. Our second visit in four weeks and yet again we were very impressed with the quality of the food, the experience of sitting outside in the sunshine and enjoying absolutely fabulous prawn sandwiches, the best I have had in a long while. This is well worth our 40 mile round trip from Blackpool and we shall most certainly return.

Great lunch as always ladies , we are sorry you have to work tomorrow , but remember the next bank holiday is August , hope he's forgiven for talking about lie ins now xx 😊 we would recommend this restaurant to any one xxx

I would highly recommend The Quayside at Glasson Dock 😀 I had lunch today Saturday the 18th of May and the food 🍳was absolutely brilliant very high quality ⭐️ The Cafe owners are very friendly and enjoy my Mum's very special Dog 🐶 Vera visiting the Cafe ❤️

This is our new venue for me and my biker mates. Great spot to either sit outside in the sun . Or sit in super clean , fantastic homemade food , coffe , cakes everything you would want. The girls who run make us welcome have a laugh . If you want great food and service visit this little gem 👍👍👍

Lovely atmospheric community......

Wonderful place. Highly highly recommend. Dog friendly, vegan options. Very very accommodating and friendly staff

Fantastic food and fabulous friendly service

First class. Well worth a visit. Full English breakfast with tea and unlimited toast, worth every penny. Regards Tom.

Delightful cake and great service. The team made us feel very welcome even though they were 'mad' busy.

Food is great. Staff are nice. Location is fantastic.

Was just a stop 4 a brue clean and tidy plesent and helpful staff food look good

Amazing place, superb food, super friendly staff & owners

Been loads of times never had a complaint from me whatever I choose, good food, friendly staff, what's not to like ☺ , would I recommend a definite yes

What a great way to spend a Saturday morning at our favourite caféQuayside at Glasson Dock. Service excellent excellent food great coffee great crack and as veggies, you cannot get a better breakfast anywhere and we’ve tried a lot of places come along and see what we enjoy every weekend xx

Lovely treat after a hard week the pictures speak for themselves thanks gang.

I had a bad experience here on Sunday 7th April 2024. On arrival at 10am, I found The Cafe was closed for a TV Crew filming event. A TV crew member advised me "I'm sorry but the Cafe is closed for filming. This is the sign, I've had to take it down so we can film !" No mention of any closure the day before (nor any signs warning potential Cafe Customers in advance.) Today, Friday 12th April, I was visiting the new Glasson Village Shop next door, only to be confronted by the Leaseholder/Manager for The Cafe, walking towards me. She was intimidating me and shouting directly at me that "I was banned for leaving them a terrible Google review and she knew it was me that had left the review." She then walked away, briskly, like a child, back to the Cafe, shouting at the top of her voice "I am not listening to YOU" when I quietly tried to discuss my disappointment with her. Food is usually excellent here, plus some great friendly local staff work too. The Customer definitely isn't her priority (as I found out today.)

Very enjoyable experience, nice food nice people 😊

Went for breakfast as we always do on a Sunday, a little bit later than usual because of some filming taking place in the cafe - all very exciting! Delicious food, lovely friendly service, great to chat and catch up with the locals and to top it all sausage for our dog. What’s not to like?! Thanks ladies, keep up the good work.

I've had the pleasure of visiting this beautiful cafe twice in the last couple of days and everything about it is amazing. There were 6 of us and we all had different meals with no complaints. The place was packed on both days which is in no doubt down to the fantastic staff and wonderful food.

Amazing brunch today went a little later due to filming for a tv show taking place - so they had said they were not open to 11:00 - had Quay Breakfast as always perfect - would recommend a visit

Came in today had an amazing lunch food was excellent and the service second to none Staff very professional warm and welcoming, couldn’t recommend this place enough. Definitely will be back. Thank you

Amazing cafe! The staff are friendly, very accommodating for vegan requirements, food was delicious and great portion sizes! Super clean, lovely atmosphere - amazing!

Great little place! Very, very friendly and welcoming. Also extremely dog friendly!

Very good cakes we will go back very soon

Wonderfully warm welcome, great service, friendly staff, excellent value for money, and a range of gf options second to none! Highly unusually, the gf cake options extended to more than just the boring customary 'chocolate brownie'! Imaginative and delicious alternatives abounded, which afforded a very pleasant surprise and experience. On a freezing cold, rainy, and dismal day, the Quayside Café came to our rescue and made our day. Very highly recommended indeed. Glasson Dock is grand for a stroll and a day by the sea and marina and canal, but alow yourself time for a visit here!

Would give it 10 stars if I could Absolutely wonderful afternoon. The food was outstanding and Nina was so nice and made us all feel so welcome

I asked if they did toasties as they were not on the menu, they said they could do so I ordered a ham, cheese, mushroom and onion, my favourite. I expected a standard toasted sandwich but received an open style on a sub with a side salad, some crisps and salsa! It was delicious, I was impressed as they thought outside the box and created an impressive dish! I hope they add it to the menu, they would sell like hot cakes! (Toasties!) Well done all, can’t wait for the next time! 👍😁👌

What a fantastic place. This cafe is buzzing, led by a dynamic lady (owner?), who combines a great welcome with ruthless efficiency. We creaked in after cycling over the Forest of Bowland, rather worn. We were warmed, fed and felt we could stay as long as we wanted. A couple next to us only wanted drinks which wasn't a problem and ended up with cake, which we felt compelled to copy. The jacket potato and hot beef sandwich were delicious, though gravy within a "barm" was a little peculiar to non-northern tastes!

Everything you want from a local cafe: good food, lovely staff and an excellent atmosphere. They gave our dog some leftover sausages, my little daughter got given a small bowl of fruit and the staff was very attentive. Definitely recommend.

Lovely cafe set by the lock at Glasson Dock. Very friendly and helpful staff, not an overly large venue, but was able to accommodate wheelchair access. Tables outside, so would be lovely in warm weather. Good selection of menu choices and at reasonable prices. Toilet facilities available.

Breakfast superb dinner superb Staff brilliant very accommodating everything you need and Dog friendly as well just can't fault it

We hadn’t eaten in here since 2018 and on subsequent visits to Glasson have dined “al fresco” from the van as we didn’t think the vibe in here was particularly nice last time. What an improvement. Professional and enthusiastic service. It was chilly outside and the Quayside gave us a warm welcome in more ways than one! There were several breakfast options available and me being rather partial to the biggest thing available - chose that! Everything on the plate was lovely but the bacon and sausages in particular were top quality. Glasson was quite quiet so we had a leisurely time in here which gave us the opportunity to benefit from the hot drink refills. Clean - with decent loos. Will definitely head in here (if we can) during our next visit to Glasson Dock! Bravo.

Last here in 2021 time flies by lovely lady's running this only had soup though will be back! Absolutely fine and nice tea to wash down all the meals coming out looked appetising and fresh

Very busy cafe good menu selection great cakes etc friendly and helpful staff they are also dog friendly will use again when next in the area.

Lovely place and fab food , thanks for the added entertainment ,(sock gate ) xxxx didn't put us off we will be back xx

Had a nice breakfast here today, was really nice, the staff are friendly and helpfull, the vibe is very good, and it is dog friendly

Great fish and chips and probably the best value gin and tonic in the UK! Cosy cafe with attentive service. The desserts looked fabulous but so was the calorie count! Purchased local bakery produce.

Was thoroughly impressed with this little cafe. Saw the cakes advertised on Facebook and decided to pay a visit to Glasson Dock with my other half, with a view to having a brew and cake whilst there. It’s rather deceiving from outside, as it doesn’t look that modern, but once inside, it’s a lovely contemporary interior. It was quite busy when we went in, but the friendly and attentive staff quickly sorted out a table for the two of us. We were served promptly and decided to have a BLT each and a pot of tea for 2. When our food arrived, we were pleasantly surprised: a lovely warm, toasted sandwich with thick sliced bacon, accompanying side salad, crisps and relish all served on a platter. It really was delicious and worth every penny. My other half was suitably impressed too! It really is a little gem and we said we would definitely return again, perhaps in the summer (as there are outside tables too). I would definitely recommend this little cafe, I think it could be my new favourite place to eat!

Fantastic find. We hadn’t booked so felt lucky to get a table inside. Beautiful location, beautiful food and really happy and friends staff Will definitely recommend

Always quality food here and great service!

Wonderfully tasty food - best fish and chips I have eaten for a long time - plus friendly service and a good location. We had a long leisurely lunch with friends and were made to feel very welcome throughout the time we spent there. Good walk options nearby.

Took my elderly parents for lunch her 2 weeks ago ...food was lovely and staff really helpful

Lovely little place with great food, hot chocolate and coffee, perfect to warm up and have a lunch/coffee after a walk. The cakes also looked lovely but we didn't have space to try them as well.

We always call in if we are in Glasson. Good quality service, friendly staff and excellent food with a warm welcoming atmosphere, would highly recommend.

This is my third time visiting & it’s really lovely. The food is delicious & the staff are so very warm & welcoming. The only downside for me personally is allowing dogs inside. There was a dog who wouldn’t stop barking & another that smelled terrible & slobbered all over the floor. It did put me off I’m sorry to say. However, I will return in the future but will stay outside in the lovely seating area they have.

Amazing breakfast and lovely service, i got the big quay breakfast it was amazing just a bit too big for me and my son got cheesy beans on toast which he loved

Brilliant! I ordered the large english breakfast with a cappuccino. Scrambled egg cooked perfectly along with everything else. Service was rapid, staff very friendly and nothing was too much trouble. They give dog owners a complimentary plate of sausage/bacon for their dogs which is a very nice touch. Top rating is well deserved 👌🏽

Excellent place friendly staff as well

We were looking for a cafe before our walk and found here. Wonderful warm friendly welcome even though it was very busy. Polite and chatty servers. Totally clean and cared for and cosy. The food coming out of the kitchen all looked fantastic so it was tricky to choose. The coffees were beautiful and so well presented. Our food was delicious! Really unexpected and so well presented like a restaurant. My husband had the potato cake stack which was incredible. Worth travelling out there just for the food ! And so reasonably priced.

Wonderful breakfast, full English for me, bacon cob for the wife and egg on toast for the boy. Took some cakes home with us and then got directions to lighthouse. Will definitely be visiting again when up here.

Popped in for lunch as we we're passing. Brilliant food and service, great menu.

Had the Christmas Teaser Sunday lunch. It was delicious. The salad was fresh, crispy chips Warm friendly atmosphere. Really enjoyable.

It's a wonderful cafe that just seems to hit the spot! Great food and service. Cheerful and friendly staff.

Friendly, lovely atmosphere, vegan options, free sausage for dogs. Way more than a small local cafe.

The Quayside is in the heart of Glasson Dock village, at one end of the walking/cycle path from Lancaster and the Lune Valley. It is a favourite cycling destination for us, with outside and inside seating, friendly service and delicious food. They serve a range of breakfast-type dishes, fish and chips, baked potatoes, quiches and soups, with a huge range of desserts and cakes. All home cooked from locally sourced ingredients. The eggs royale, with local smoked salmon, (smokehouse is around the corner) is highly recommended. They also serve wines and locally brewed beer. This is a very popular venue, and it is clear why.

Loved it , excellent service and food

Rang to ask if they did a full English takeaway……YES…..15mins later paid for and happily eating-it was AMAZING! I think it might become our new weekend treat 👍

lovely food, welcoming staff - When I get chance I come here - potato cake stack is honestly as good as 5* restaurant quality. highly recommend

Food welcome and staff are amazing - a great place to eat- the menu has something for everyone and is always tasty fresh and value for money - definitely recommend a visit

Very nice food. The younger waiting staff were superb but the older staff didnt seem very attentive and unaware of customers that were clearly wanting to order desserts. My wife had to go up and approach her in the end!

My husband and I and our little cocker spaniel Deacon have just had the best fish and chips and homemade tartar sauce and homemade mushy peas, the fish was beautiful not too much batter! The service is brilliant and they just love dogs, Deacon being treated to a sausage which he loved! It was a perfect evening sat outside in the sunshine. We will definitely be returning. Thank you!!

Excellent food, we were there at a very busy time so slight delay in service but food made up for the wait

I've been to this cafe on a few occasions and have always found the food average. It wasn't poor enough to rate a bad review, so I've left it alone. However, on a few occasions I've gone there for a couple of fruit trees with my brothers. The tea, at £3.20 per person, was a bit dear, but it came in glass teapots which held a couple of cups, and we were happy to pay for it. Last week we called in and asked for the same. When the tea arrived it was in a small beaker with about six fluid ounces of hot water and a teabag. I even asked the server about the teapots and I was told that they no longer served in this manner because it saved money on washing up! The tea is still the same price. We left feeling a little, well, ripped off, to be honest. I used to run a tearoom and I understand the need to make money, but never took customers for fools.

Fabulous café, friendly staff, dog friendly +++ with a sausage for our four legged friend. Great breakfast, tasty good quality produce well cooked. Fantastic mugs of hot chocolate and coffe. Excellent value ! Perfect in everyway !

Excellent service, food was really good, dog friendly, staff brilliant and very friendly and efficient, service with a smile, called in on the off chance, will definitely be going again for lunch

What an amazing place this cafe is.....we stopped for lunch, had brilliant food, really great coffee and were made to feel so welcome by one of the owners. There is lots of choice on the menu and lots of vege options too. The place is a real credit.....we'll definitely be back very soon.

What am amazing find. An amazing breakfast and a cream tea. All the dishes looked amazing and they also have a large selection of home made cakes. Nina and the staff are so friendly too. So good we went back the next day!!

Fantastic cafe for morning breakfast and lunches. Tasty food and great service. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Highly recommended.

My wife and I went for a late breakfast (served until 12). It was really tasty. The lunch menu was being served while we were eating and there were some amazing looking dishes. It looks like your typical cafe on the outside but give it a try. It absolutely deserves all the 5 star reviews.

Another lovely lunch Very friendly varied and tasty menu

Great food. Friendly staff. Gluten free catered for. My favourite, the breakfast omelette big and full of flavour.

Visited this cafe twice and thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and atmosphere both times

We had a generous, hearty, traditional full English. The staff were so warm, homely, and helpful, and prices very reasonable. What more can one ask for?

Absolutely lovely. Very friendly and helpful with gluten free requirements. Food was beautiful, we had potato cake stack and Nina special(gluten potato cake stack). Would very much recommend
