The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Eden North West

I’m really hesitant to give this place 3 stars because I want to love it, and I understand what it’s like behind the scenes at a café. But after visiting four times—three of which were disappointing—I don’t think I’ll be returning. The service is very slow. While others around us were being served and receiving their food, we hadn’t even been acknowledged. Maybe it’s just bad luck, but we were polite and clearly ready to order, so I’m not sure why. Drinks also take a long time—staff always apologise (they are generally very friendly), but waiting 20 minutes for a drink is frustrating. The food itself tastes fine, no complaints there. However, on my last visit, I ordered a cake that was forgotten. After waiting in line at the till to get someone’s attention, I reminded them, and they mentioned it needed to be heated due to the caramel topping—no problem, but of course, it took even longer. When it finally arrived, the top was burnt (not just browned, but charred), and the cake itself was barely lukewarm. It tasted nice, but after a few bites, I noticed a hair in it. The staff apologised and didn’t charge me, which I appreciated, but it was still disappointing. It’s a shame because the café has a great atmosphere and is clearly popular, but the slow service, forgotten orders, and little mistakes—like a hair in my food—make it an unreliable spot for a quick coffee or lunch. I wish I could give my usual 5 stars, but unfortunately, I just can’t.

I went with my mum as a treat for us both. I knew she’d appreciate the menu and she did - and I did. We took my patterdale terrier who sat quietly watching us enjoy every course. The wine advice was spot on, even with a sample to taste before we selected. Mum had the cheese soufflé, lamb and hogget finished off with crème brûlée that was crisp on top and beautifully smooth underneath. I had scallops and black pudding - I’d not had either before and thoroughly enjoyed them, next it was the venison suet pudding - delicious but I wasn’t so sure about the beetroot done in duck fat - the duck fat was too much for me but that’s my choice. Finished with dark chocolate soufflé and sauce with cherry crème fraiche ice cream. £69 for 3 courses each was amazing value for such good food, service and ambience. This is a pub that has a Michelin star. It’s not fine dining, it’s a pub. But what a pub.

Excellent well maintained Golf Course, friendly staff and excellent food

We have been going to this lovely cafe for many years as it has a great atmosphere. The food is good and well priced with good sized portions all served with a smile and chat even when busy. You can tell a good cafe when they get so much repeat business.

Home cooked food, always piping hot and fresh.if shopping in Penrith we always eat here and have never been disappointed, it’s not high end but good basic and tasty food. The staff will go out of their way to accommodate requests and substitute items if available.

What a wonderful find. Great service, food. Lovely atmosphere. They couldn't do enough to help you. The lovely bit was the pin board with vouchers. If you need a brew, for whatever reason, there is one there for you. Such a kind hearted gesture. Wishing you every success

We went for a valentines meal which was wonderful. The service was great, the food was good and reasonably priced. Would recommend 👍

Took a wee detour here for dinner while driving south from Scotland. Best decision. Food was great, really enjoyed the roast lamb. Home made scotch egg starter was amazing. Great service. Good disabled access.

This was our last visit of the year and we took friends for their first visit. They were very impressed. As always a lovely atmosphere, great staff (Mike we love you!). The food was really good as always too. BUT!!! I was a bit disappointed with the menu this time. Chicken burger, fish & chips?? Not what I’d come to expect. Where was the lively trio of pork and other more adventurous dishes that we’ve had in the past? £24 for a chicken burger was a tad excessive where as you don’t mind paying higher prices for more chefy dishes! I don’t want food that I can make at home or get down my local pub. It was still great though! See you next year!!

We go to The Bridge about 4 times per year. We are not very extravagant but when we do eat out we want it to be better than I can make at home. Any guest we bring with us all love it too. Every meal we’ve had here has been excellent! My favourites are Twice Baked Cheese Soufflé, The Seafood Linguini, my hubby loves the Fish & Chips (he has this every time he goes, lol) . My son loves the Squid starter and I also love the Pate when it’s on. I had a gorgeous fish course in spring but I forget the name of the fish which was the whitest fish I’ve ever seen. I highly recommend Bridge Bistro.

Comfortable stay with delicious meals & breakfast. Tranquil location with riverside garden. Welcoming & friendly staff.

Called in for coffee and cake after mooching around the town. The cappuccino was lovely and strong and the pear and almond slice was very tasty

Looked like a proper cafe from the outside, wasn’t disappointed Quiet, clean, friendly staff. Nice coffee, ordered a bacon roll, not stingy on the bacon Full breakfast for hubby Very nice indeed

Amazing food and great art space . We loved the food, coffee , cakes and the gallery upstairs. They slso have a theatre attached to it where they have events and live music

If you like ice cream, you will love this place. Excellent range of superb ice cream at a very reasonable price. Great to be able to sit and enjoy it whilst looking over to the Pennines with the production team (Jersey cows) chomping away. Very friendly staff.
