The best restaurants serving British food 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.

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.

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

Beautiful freshly made food. Kids meals are fantastic, although my daughter ate my scone aswell as her meal as it was so good... Absolutely delicious and lovely ladies seving,we will be back. Thsnkyou.

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.

Fantastic friendly staff - cakes were exceptional and perfect with a cup of tea after doing the nearby waterfall hike. Sitting in the garden gives you great views down the valley. Would highly recommend!

We visited for Sunday lunch on Easter Sunday. We chose to eat in the dinning room as prefer not to eat in dog friendly spaces. The restaurant was quiet but pleasant. The Sunday lunch was very good and served on very hot plates which I love. Beautiful pink beef. Crispy roast potatoes and creamy mash. Tasty flavourful gravy. Desert was pleasant but we were too full to really enjoy it. Will definitely return.

After a long walk, (you know when your legs are like jelly and you're a bit delirious), the Three Hares Cafe was a caramel-packed safehaven. I've visited hundreds of cafes (and reviewed a fair few on here) and the negative reviews are a little baffling. Yes, the scones look burnt but they are airy light and a welcome companion to a brew. Funnily enough, they probably know how to make a decent scone given the expertise across the road at the Black Bull Inn. It is a small cafe, only a few tables, that doubtless gets filled quickly but Sedbergh has alternatives nearby if you're stuck. They nailed my preference for a caramel slice (90% oozing caramel) and the pies and other bits we took home all hit the spot. Special mention for their donuts. They look like giant charred cannon balls that ooze jam. Glorious when warmed up.

Amazing food, amazing staff, beautiful restaurant and fabulous location. Will definitely be back and will certainly recommend it.

After a stroll alongside the river and around the town my wife and I called at the café for lunch. The fish was delicious, large flakes of fish in a light crispy batter, the chips appeared to have been warmed up and were a little overcooked for our taste but weren’t inedible and the service by the lady was exemplary. Altogether a pleasant experience and we will call again when in the area.

Stop off for nostalgic visit it was cold but soon warmed up with a cheese and bacon burger with onions my friend and I ate them in the van and was blown away so beautiful nearly had another one but had to get back to Macclesfield. Thank you so much xxx

My wife and I visited Kirkby Lonsdale for a short break at the beginning of May. On our last night we wanted a special meal to remember our fantastic trip to a lovely part of the UK. We were lucky enough to choose Plato's for this occasion. From walking in and speaking to the lovely girl behind the bar to leaving after having the most wonderful Chateaubriand the evening was perfect. This place serves the best food and wine with the best service. Ten out of ten and the next time we visit Kirkby Lonsdale we will certainly be going to Plato's again.Thanks for a lovely evening!!
