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.

Very much enjoyed coming here for an afternoon treat. Excellent cakes and drink. My wife loved her Chocolate Thunder. The homemade fruit cake was perfect - accompanied by some Wensleydale cheese, an excellent combination. More substantial offerings are also available. Friendly service in the heart of the scenic village of Dent. I’m looking forward to returning.

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

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 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.

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.

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.

Very warm welcome from Heather and the rest of the team. They were all so friendly and very efficient and worked so hard. A great team, nothing was too much trouble. Great menu, food was delicious! Our room was comfortable and had a lovely countryside view. Although there was no shower, or hand held shower attachment, it didn't mar our stay.didn't really mar our stay. The overall ambience of the pub (two wood burners roaring all day, every day during our two night stay) made it such a wonderful relaxing break. Highly recommend.

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).

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.

A very welcome cup of tea after a rather wet day of walking. The owner was welcoming and very kindly let me wait in the tearoom for my lift. They seem to have a good selection of things to eat and drink. Recommended.

Stopped in for much needed cake and coffee following our walk at the waterfall. Staff were lovely, the cakes and drinks were spot on too - what more could anyone ask for! Would absolutely come again: thanks very much.

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.
