The best restaurants in Arnside and Beetham South Lakeland North West

The food in this cafe is delicious. Soup was home cooked, wholesome and so tasty. The owner / chef went the extra mile for me as I am on a diet to produced a bacon/ egg salad which was fabulous 👌 Ingredients were varied, fresh and presented beautifully. This cafe was a real gem and definitely worth the visit . Thank you for great experience.

Headed here at the weekend after hearing such good feedback from friends. I must say it was well worth the visit. We opted for a mixed bag of Brownies and Blondies. I have never ( and I've tried a fair few ) had such amazing Brownies , full of flavour , great portions. We hadn't tried Blondies before but we are definitely now fans. Iced tea was all homemade and you could tell as it was so nice. The girls opted for Geo Hearts which looked so pretty and they gave them a big thumbs up. We will definitely be back 😊

We enjoyed a very nice meal here, the staff were exceptional especially the young lad (didn’t get his name) at the time who gave us great service. The food was delicious, went for the venison steak and it didn’t disappoint. Cooked to perfection and coupled with a sauce that was truly a masterpiece in itself. Would definitely recommend visiting if you’re in the area.

Beware if you are a COELIAC This place says its chips are cooked in a separate fryer which they may well be. However I ate six “ gluten free” chips and two hours later bloating and nausea. Still with me the day after. There must have been gluten contamination somewhere - all it needs is a hand, an implement, ANYTHING to have been contaminated with just a tiny speck of gluten to cause a reaction ( vomiting diarrhoea severe pain dizziness for up to a week) At least it didn’t make me sick this time. Every hotel cafe restaurant in the country should be trained in gluten intolerance/ coeliac. Actually not an intolerance but a serious auto immune disease which can cause hospital admission. We won’t be going back needless to say.

Lovely welcoming staff and a cosy interior!

We were offered the official best table in the place, one of two in the windows overlooking the bay. This is a quirky old style teashop to savour. I loved all the nostalgic film posters from the golden age of the cinema, together with some great (though not intrusive) music primarily from a similar age. I could happily have stayed much longer, watching the world go by, but we were only there for scones and a drink. Needless to say, the scones were delicious and the cakes looked equally so. What about the owners and staff then?, well guess what, they were delightful!

Called in for a coffee and snack after our frequent walk along the bay and round back into Arnside. When this first opened I was a little wary as we are used to small intimate tea/coffee shops in Arnside. However this was our second visit and as we entered we were greeted by obviously the front of house guy “David”. Wow does this guy know how to do it Welcoming ,friendly, Northern (always a bonus). Had a lovely coffee and Hubby had a great crisp bacon bun. The vibe in this cafe/restaurant is great., modern but great service. We live quite locally and are encouraged to go in the evening now as well. In our opinion the best restaurants are always about the front of house and Crossfields has it right. Everyone in this place has a great view of our beautiful Morecambe bay.

Fantastic food...caters for all.....staff really helpful and friendly, always willing to help. Linda, Mark and staff definitely 'go that extra mile' Cater for various functions and menus differ to suite everyone. Give it a try....you will not be disappointed. All meals look and taste delicious 10/10 Well done and keep up the good work Catered for New years eve, and fully booked for Valentines meal

well again, finally finding this place open at the 4th attempt was a relief. Nice coffee and pleasant couple who run it. great location next to the train station, so if you're waiting for a train and if it's open! then worth popping in.

Fantastic place to meet up for brunch. Lots of space and spoilt for choice with the menu. Great, quick service and easy to order. Good value for money too. We’ll be back!

Visiting from south. Love this part of the world snd normally quality of produce and service good in the area. Sadly there are always exceptions to the rule and mistakingly forgot to read the reviews first. The beef and ale pie didnt have any beef or ale. I'd have needed a black and decker to cut the pastry! Sausage roll dry and heavy. Food presented nice in the window but what gets served doesnt live up to the picture. Strangely expected to clear your own table into the bin. Greggs cheap and cheerful but offers better fare than here. Will not be returning.

Fabulous little find when visiting Arnside. Spotted as we walked along the beach. Superb coffee and the cookies were, according to my wife, the best she’d ever tasted !!!!! Lovely little atmosphere in there too.

Whilst walking in Arnside we decided to call into The Wagtail for a latte. The owner served us at our table and was very friendly ,our coffee was lovely. On leaving I bought a freshly baked Beef n Potato pasty to take home. Served at home with some mushy peas,I can honestly say it was one of the best pasties ive ever had. Plenty of large pieces of beef with chunks of potato in a well made pastry. It tasted fantastic. I believe that you can have the pies delivered to your home,frozen and ready for the oven. Would I return ... Yes definately.

We did go for food but it looked grubby and really uninviting. People having meals didn’t look to be enjoying them. On ordering drinks locals were paying different prices for drinks ie white wine £4 a large glass. We were told only young locals were allowed this? I know other pubs do loyalty cards just for locals which is a little unfair as charging visitors more doesnt really encourage us to go back. We are supporting their trade so why should we pay more. The Albion needs to up its game its in a prime location so could be a little gold mine like it used to be. Think only reason people drink there is because of its location as certainly not it’s value for money.

Really nice refurb! The whole place has been done up recently and the atmosphere is great, worth every penny and definitely compliments the vibe of this lovely seaside village.
