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.

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.

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.

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!).

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.

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.

Well this is our favourite restaurant no matter where we go just love coming back here again the food was the best tonight absolutely delicious seabass main meal with mussels and the strawberry hot mousse well out of this world with strawberry ice cream well I can say no more YOU MUST GO TO APPRECIATE THIS FANTASTIC FOOD

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.

We just had one night here (unfortunately) it's a great pub with fantastic rooms. Our large room had really nice decor and had a huge comfy bed We had a great night's sleep. There were lots of eating places in the village but we decided to eat at the Red Dragon, The food on the plate was plenty and tasty. Breakfast is included with a good choice, a great way to start the day. Hoping to get back very soon
