The best restaurants in Sedbergh and Kirkby Lonsdale South Lakeland North West

Called today, Sunday, the young girl served me a small amount of Ice cream, about 40% less than usual, exactly the same happened last week. I won't be calling here again.

This is a lovely place that draws you in with the tempting aromas of the various coffees on offer. They serve excellent coffee, predominantly to take away, although there are two stools by the window should you wish to sit down. I suspect that space really is at a premium here, but if they could manage to fit in two or three little tables it would be superb. Highly recommended.

Called in today for a takeaway ‘Gourmet Baguette’ (smoked Salmon, cream cheese, salad, sweet chilli sauce and a bag of crisps) which was delicious. We also enjoyed coffee and walnut cake and good coffee. We will certainly return next time we are in the beautiful unspoiled village of Dent. We took our lunch to eat outside in a field near the main car park which had beautiful views and picnic tables. The carpark has car charging points, toilets and a disabled loo which was clean.

We visited Joey’s (the new name) every morning for a coffee while walking our dog when we stayed nearby in April. Service, coffee, cakes, pasties (including the vegan options for both) all excellent. The views over Windermere are lovely and you can visit the Claife viewing station. Less than 10 mins walk from the ferry (& loos if needed!).

Beautiful food people and service. They even put th fire on especially for us. Beautiful place. Definitely recommend and be going again very soon. I had the gammon egg and pineapple which was honestly the best I've had.

Excellent breakfast, freshly cooked, great cakes and pastries, they make their own pasties and sausage rolls. Warm and friendly service

Opening times were posted on website so I was sent to this cafe. Unfortunately after a long journey there I found it shut. Would like to think that if your are shut this would be reflected on your website (Sunday morning (2/2/25).

We ate here twice in two days. The food is excellent. The owners and staff are very welcoming and friendly. We particularly recommend the soups, but it was all superb. Good value for money

Gorgeous place, lovely atmosphere, with a great selection of beers. The staff are friendly and helpful. Dog friendly too.

Great restaurant with a small but perfectly formed menu. Highly recommended.

We had s fantastic experience at Platos. We ordered a mixture of dishes from specials and main menu and everything we tried was absolutely delicious. The service was equally impressive. Friendly, attentive and made us feel welcome. Atmosphere was lively but relaxed, perfect for a night out with friends. Can't wait to return.

We stumbled on this café on our arrival. We were looking for a late lunch venue. Number Forty Four, was warm and welcoming. We all chose various sandwiches and either wine or a slim beer. The staff were chatty and we thoroughly enjoyed our lunch experience. We returned the following day for lunch and immediately booked a table for breakfast on our final day. Highly recommended

Our favourite cafe in the world - amazing milkshakes, great, hearty food! Can't fault it - thanks Sue and Matt for keeping us so well fed this week. See you again soon.

Sadly this establishment no longer exists, and seems to be a house now. ( February 2025).

Stayed 2 nights at Plato’s, myself & my wife. Had a perfect stay. The hotel is clean & tidy & as one of the nights we stayed was Friday night, there was live music in the bar downstairs with a good atmosphere. Great central location in the town. The staff were friendly & accommodating. Good breakfast choice in the morning, we went for the full English both mornings, served with fresh tea & coffee, juice toast & jam/marmalade. Very nice! We would definitely stay here again.
