Woodie's in Lancaster

Wonderful food and such friendly and welcoming service. Could not have been better. Best bacon, sausage, egg butties we have had, possibly ever! The toasted buns were a hit with my twin daughters. Proper brews in a mug with wonderful views. So good we returned for brekkie the next day before heading south. Thankyou!

Best breakfast butties and burgers for miles around, excellent friendly service too and magnificent views. Really can't recommend highly enough, weekends aren't the same without a trip to Woodie's for breakfast.

Stopped off at this lovely little establishment while waiting for the rest of the family to show up for a bit of swimming. We all grabbed a brew and some got sandwiches for the day, our host was absolutely lovely had plenty of time to have a chat and tell us the best areas to go to swim and was overall beyond pleasant! The food was fantastic and the drinks were bang on, perfect way to start a hot day in summer. (There is also toilets attached at the back to Woodie's)

I’ve cycled past Woodies hundreds of times on my way home after a ride into Yorkshire or Cumbria, but never stopped. However, out with a cycling buddy last weekend and on our way past we decided to stop. We both ordered a bacon barm and a mug of tea. The bacon barn was excellent, the brew a good one too. Friendly service and great food, what more could you want? I’ll be sure to call in next time I’m passing.

Just stopped off for a coffee and snack after a walk around the Lune. Fabulous staff, great coffee and no snazzy machine to make it. Couldn't be more friendly. Steady number of customers all with smiles on their faces...well done Woodies

I’ve just come back from woodies and I have to say that the cheeseburger was absolutely delicious with the sweet chilli sauce, Mayo, onion and the way Lisa (the owner) makes it is absolutely something that must be tried at least once if you ever come to this beautiful little place, Caton (Lancaster). The burger was reminiscent of when I used have it at home when my mother would make some burgers for me and my friends growing up. Lisa is a lovely woman whom my girlfriend introduced me to as she is a local and has known Woodies for quite some time. Lisa is really a warm and welcoming person who is great to have a conversation with All in all Woodies will always be my go-to place to have a burger everytime I come to the area

So friendly, delicious bacon butties and burgers and what a location!!! Been coming for years and it's always the same. Only downside is cash only.

Fantastic setting on the River Lune and definitely the best hamburgers I've ever tasted. Friendly service.

This is the best place to go to after a nice ride or walk especially to get a bacon barm which are just excellent. Very family friendly and staff are wonderful. 100% would return. If I could rate it higher I would because it's a solid 10/10 meal.

Woodie’s cafe is on the car park at Crook O’Lune picnic site. The staff are lovely and the bacon barms we had were delicious. There’s outdoor seating overlooking the river to enjoy your food. Simply wonderful

We parked up for an early dog walk and when we returned we couldn't resist the smell of bacon coming from this little kitchen. The lady who served me and who cooked our we'll deserved butty was very friendly, chatting away to all the locals who were flocking in for food and hot drinks. The scenery was beautiful. The toilet block was clean. As a side note, it was VERY busy with dogs. Some of which were running around off the lead. In itself this was lovely to see but unfortunately our little border terrier doesn't always do very well around other dogs so we had to keep him in our vehicle.

Great little cafe. Just what you need after a walk/cycle along the river. Well priced with helpful staff.

Regular visitor of Woodies, simply the best cheese burgers. Lisa is very welcoming.. and what a view... A*** Lovely, local family business.

Lisa and her colleague were extremely friendly and helpful, thanks very much for the brew. Although we never ate there the food smelled great and there was lots of satisfied looking eaters around

Hi all, love reading everyone’s reviews of Woodies, I am Paul Woodruffs granddaughter. To the people who review us over our opening times we are open during the winter: Friday, Saturday and Sunday and during the summer: Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday 9am-3pm (weather permitting) we are sorry if you have ever visited them days and we have been closed, family is priority at the moment and we do apologise for any inconvenience this may cause! Other than that, thank you so much and thank you to my mum Lisa who works so hard keeping Woodies running! ‘The brew with the view’

My wife is gluten free and was given the option of using her own bread or bacon and egg in a container. The service is good and the venue is amazing

does the job! coffee/tea/juice etc, snacks, dog biscuits and water bowl, hot food choices. Quite wasteful with food vessels.

Friendly staff, amazing service and food delicious Well worth a visit, with scenic walks surrounding

I have stopped here before when walking or cycling, had a brew and a bite to eat and it's always been good but lately when I've been it's closed. Need to make their mind up when to open and stick to it.

It might be good. Wish I could have found out. But there's no point in stating opening times if you don't stick to them.

Lovely grub; pass by at a danger to your happier stomach. What more can one say? Where else can you get such tasty bacon butties?

You won't find a better place outside New England (and maybe not even there!) Superb little butty bar. Always very friendly, as are its clientele. But more than once I have found it unexpectedly closed. They oculd do with a website so you can check opening before setting out.

...that you get at Woodies. So nice that still run by a local family too. We come here regularly for bacon and also sausage butties on a Sunday with a nice brew.

If you are walking, cycling, carring or horsing along the River Lune, don't miss this little gem at the Crook of Lune. A joke and a big smile accompany an impressive range of coffee and teas (where even posh let alone a remotish shack has Earl Grey AND Lady Grey??) and the best bacon butties in the universe. My partner ordered one to share (they're generous but have your own if hungry), turned down the lovely lass behind the counter's willing offer to cut it in half before wrapping, gave me the un-lion's share and it was still sumptuous and big! And you can sit looking down the Lune to Ingleborough, a view famously painted by our very own Mr Turner.

you don't often go into a car park in the countryside to find a little gem like Woodies. But after visiting relatives within the Lune Valley I decided as it was lunch time I needed to stop after doing quite a bit of driving. The staff on site were very friendly & polite. I must admit to being someone who likes a good Burger & boy I was not disappointed by the one that I had at Woodies!!!

My son is vegetarian. Took him to Woodies and he moaned, saying they had no veggie options. Staff were fabulous, and produced an egg, cheese and mushroom bap that so impressed him, he had another one. I love this place. Food is always cooked fresh, and is hot and tasty, tea also nice and hot and comes in a mug. To those worried about how food is cooked, meat is cooked at one end of griddle tray, which is large, so meat juices do not contaminate the vegetarian stuff.

Love this place, always a favourite stop off when we visit Lancaster. Friendly staff, excellent butties and the view is priceless!

They serve really good burgers here they have a toasted bun and really good beef and a good place to stop off whilst cycling

This is an excellent place to stop following one of the cycle routes in Lancashire. The bacon balms with a cuppa in a mug are great and the view is spectacular. Highly recommended!

Soy local y por eso asegúrese de tomar un paseo a Woodies para obtener la misma hamburguesa cada fin de semana. A finales de Woodies, estoy encontrando la única cosa que esperamos durante toda la semana. No me malinterpretes, mi semanas están bien - Veo a mis amigos, ir al trabajo que me gusta y pasar el rato con mi familia pero que realmente aprecio y valor de la buena comida. Primero de todo, el paseo hasta Woodies desde mi casa en Caton es absolutamente impresionante en un día soleado. Espero que muchos paseos a este pequeño y encantador bar burger en enfoques de verano. En segundo lugar, ya que el lugar siga hacia, soy saludado por la sonrisa más cálida y genuina por el propietario, Lisa. Preciosa Lisa obtiene junto con todo el mundo y siempre hacen una conversación encantadora - al mismo tiempo que freír las hamburguesas, cebollas, etc. para precisa perfección! El servicio es absolutamente fantástica, y no sólo estoy hablando de Lisa, estoy hablando sobre Lisa ayudantes demasiado. Siempre tan encantador. Estoy entregado mi chocolate caliente primero y no mucho después mi hamburguesa llega envuelto en unos pañales. Encontrar un banco desocupada, sentarse y disfrutar de la sorprendente e impresionante vista de los campos y el río - los campos en que me llevaran a la popular puente de hierro después de terminar mi hamburguesa. Oooh sí, mi hamburguesa. . . El panecillo crujiente, el queso rallado, la carne fina y suculenta, mayonesa y salsa de chili dulce. . . Realmente no puedo esperar para el sábado. Si tuviera que describir este burger en una palabra sería glorioso. O CELESTIAL. Usted puede ser el juez de que encaja mejor. He estado en Texas y Nueva York y he tenido unos cuantos, pero sorprendentemente, nada hamburguesas viene cerca de Woodies. Sin embargo, el más cercano sería este bar burger en el paseo marítimo de Whitianga, Nueva Zelanda, ingeniosamente llamado aletas, pero no aletas incluso sabroso pudieran poner cero en Woodies. No estoy en absoluto sorprendido que es tan popular como Woodies es y oír cosas maravillosas sobre la comida y el servicio de otras personas, me hace sonreír, ya sé que es conseguir la alabanza y reconocimiento que se merece.

Great food although could do with a little more, high quality produce with excellent service and friendly staff Great place to stop for a snack if you in the area , lovely location

This is real food, tea in mugs, bacon butties, eaten in the wet if raining.The views towards Ingleborough over the river Lune are outstanding as is the friendliness of the staff. Ideal for young and old, bikers, walkers and birders.Limited options for picky eaters, it sells bacon buns or burgers and very delicious they are too. Service personalized and food is cooked to individual order.

well placed, great amenity in a good spot, but the veggie burgers are cooked in the same place as the meat, I'm told the meat burgers are good.

Have visited this place for over 15 years, great place to stop if walking or cycling in the area. water is available for your doggy friends.

This is a great place for having a picnic or a cycle ride. Have been here many times when on my bike. And loads of Pokemon!

This is the ideal stop off on the way to Lancaster/Morecambe. A good cup of tea in a mug and the sandwiches are good as well. Sad to say we have called twice in recent months only to find it closed. It used to be open every day except Christmas I think it must have changed hands.

We often go for a walk at the Crook O' Lune and last time I decided to get a Bacon Cheese Burger and it was delicious. There is usually a choice of white or brown bap and topped with onions I was pleasantly surprised in the quality of the Burger. Usually at Kiosks you tend to get cheap burgers and fatty bacon, but at Woodies it was lean back bacon no fat and the burger was quality. My wife had the Veggie burger and she also pleased with hers. They were both very reasonably priced also and I can recommend Woodies very highly, next time you are in the area. They are open Friday, Saturday and Sunday for the weekend visitors to the area

Went to Woodies at the Crook o Lune after not having been there for a while, and just as good as it's always been. My friend had the bacon butty and I had the more generous bacon, sausage egg and mushroom butty. All freshly done. I ordered, but while my friend was stuck on the motorway, I asked them to time it when she arrived in her car, which was what they did, perfect timing, friendly and considerate service. Same as it ever was...

My wife and I stop off frequently as we live close by. We are always greeted by the friendly staff and are never disappointed by the excellent food. We often treat the grandkids after a nice walk.

Woodies is an excellent stop for either walkers or cyclists wanting that quick fast open air food. The sausage or bacon bap is recommended with a hot mug of tea or coffee especially after a long ride.

As for the last review, nonsense. The staff here are honest, genuine and so very friendly. Every weekend me and my partner visit here for sausage, egg and cheese sandwiches. Absolutely love them, so tasty and real cheese on the butty mmm!

Went for a ride out in the afternoon sun , got a couple of drinks and the young girl gave me change from a £10 and I had given her a £20 . When I told her it was a twenty she just handed me the £10 without any apology or even looking at me . It seemed as if she new exactly what she was doing . Be aware .

Great food, friendly staff, and nice views. It's a perfect place to stop by after a long walk when it's sunny.

Hubby and I had been on a particularly long walk as we got carried away with the beauty of the area like you do when you find somewhere new. It was a case of let's walk a bit further-not wanting to miss anything and soak up the stunning views. Of coarse you have to walk all that way back and by the time we reached Woodies I was nearly faint with hunger, water finished long ago. These must have been the most memorable hot refreshments we have ever experienced for such a small food cafe. How they manage to satisfy so many is amazing. OK, you have to wait, its a very popular place people calling there all the time, even early doors, people on the way to work. But believe me, it is so worth the wait, good menu choice, reasonably priced. So two mouthwatering crispy bacon with egg barms, steaming hot coffee's later we're off and planing the next walk including Woodies.

just what you need on your trip out for the views, walks & fresh air at the Crook o Lune...Woody's is a friendly place purveying your usual snack bar fair - tea & coffee (instant only) bacon butties, burgers, cakes & sweeties. Situated in the corner of the Crook o Lune car park (this is charged) it's a popular spot...

Very handy outdoor cafe always great service with a smile. Great food and great views over the Lune valley.

We stopped here primarily for the car park, however the food is top rate, lovely bacon sandwiches and sausage sandwiches and coffee, tea and homemade cakes, yummy. Will go again if in the area.

Lovely little café, a most welcome stop off mid walk. Limited, but adequate menu, unfortunately, not open every day. Good parking and toilet facilities. Excellent valley views.

Not your usual roadside butty bar. Situated near the famous Crook o' Lune, this brick-built car park kitchen take-away serves freshly made snacks to hungry visitors, bikers and families at very reasonable prices. Fantastic views of the river Lune nearby and a nice car park.

The very best of bacon butties I have ever eaten and I have eaten many in my long life it is a welcome refreshment on the lunesdale foot path.

Nice open air cafe. Wish it were open every day! Just what you want after a cycle ride or brisk walk.

I've been going to Woodies as a central place for 15 years meeting a friend for a bacon roll and a dog walk. We both drive over an hour to meet here. I left a package of some trousers on the table last Friday. Your phone number does not seem to be in use can you help me get the trousers back .???

I made a visit to Woodies as I had heard about the excellent food served at this little family run establishment and it certainly didn't disappoint. The choice of food and drink is great, I decided to go for a bacon and mushroom butty, I can honestly say it is the best bacon butty I have ever tasted!! The bun was lightly toasted before serving which is a nice touch and the bacon cooked to perfection. They obviously buy the best produce and you can tell the difference, my own bacon butties never taste like that! The other bonus is your cuppa is served in a proper mug not a polystyrene cup which are usually provided in such places. I finished off with a lovely piece of flapjack, yummy. It is evident that Woodies is very popular with locals too due to the steady stream of people visiting during the time I was there, local tradesmen too which is always a sign of good food. The service was great and staff lovely and friendly. Definitely worth a visit if you are visiting 'Crook O Lune' for the best bacon butty looking out on one of the most beautiful views, in my opinion. Well done Woodies!

Friendly service, surprisingly good selection of food. Reasonable prices and very convenient location.

The title says it all. OK, it's at one of the best views in England (Crook 'o Lune) but so many people can't do a simple Bacon Sandwich. Woodie can.

great fresh local food, good value prices. friendly staff all in lovely views. not many places to sit.

Woodie's- a lovely place just off the cycle path. A great place to go after a bike ride. The scenic views make it even better- you can sit on the field nearby, looking down upon the Lune. I'll be back!

Great take away burger or bacon rolls. Lovely tea, in a mug. Idyllic setting, with lovely walks/ cycle track to get your appetite up. Best of all are Woodie and his staff - fast, fun, friendly and always up for a chat. Stop here as you travel on the M6, just a few minutes from J34 and you won't regret the detour. Even your dog will love it as there are free Bonio's and water!

First time to woodies and it won't be the last! Nice staff, nice food, nice, walk, nice view. A bit more sun would have been nice but that wasn't on the menu!

Visited here twice now. A proper brew in a mug after a muddy walk and a tasty burger in a toasted bun for the teen. Lisa (think that's her name) was due to close at 3pm but knew some tourists from America were passing specially so stayed open. Friendly, cheap and tasty. Spot on!

After a lovely walk through fields by the river Lune my friend & i were ready for a hearty snack. Greeted by friendly happy staff & a fast service. On her recommendation we had a delicious cheese burger with onions inside a lightly toasted bun with sauce of our choice added, followed by tea served in proper mugs not paper ones.!! Seating area provided, varied choice on the menu.

Great burgers were they toast the inside of the bun, in nice surroundings with hot brews served in mugs by friendly staff. simple, perfect.

Lovely food, very good service, friendly staff, perfect food after a walk in a great location :) very reasonable prices highly recommend!

fantastic location with easy access to footpaths around the lune valley covering halton or caton, friendly staff and as always sandwiches made to perfectionalso nice friendly staff

Woodies is an outdoor establishment at the picturesque Crook o' Lune, a great place for cycling, walking or just watching the lovely scenery. This is on the main cycle route along the Lune valley, perfect for families as it is off-road. This is a straightforward grill, with bacon, sausages, eggs and variation on a theme of sandwiches. Great as a mid-walk stop. Outdoor seating only,(some tables overlooking the river valley), which limits it in poor weather, unless you want to eat in your car or you are very hardy.

for a picnic site cabin the food is quite good with friendly staff and the main man woodie is quite a character.the views from the tables are lovely down the lune valley, with a car park + toilets on site with walks along the river and a cycle and footpath alongside (wheelchair accesable)

Woody's burgers are always excellent and inexpensive. An excellent start to our walk along the Lune!

Great cheese burger served by friendly staff, apologies given for the wait which didn't matter one bit with such a beautiful view to look out over while you wait!
