Best KPortal Reviews

It is big enough with plenty tables and coaches, as for small amount of people as for big company. It is clean and cozy decorations and antique items around that makes this place warmer. The only thing we didn’t expect that it’s self service. The menu is varied and big choice gif breakfast. Should to try local freshly baked scones but decided to go for club sandwich. Portions are big and salmon was very tasty. Additional bonus is craft shop and gallery. Highly recommended to visit and try after nice tour in mills.
Lovely, quaint little coffee shop in an old watermill.
We had a scone and traditional pot of tea, both were lovely. There was a lot nore on offer and they did Christmas lunches too.
There are other little shops in the vicinity to pop into too.
We sat outside as had the dogs definitely needs some TLC. My friend went into order 2 take away hot drinks and 2 cheese scones. There was only 2 fruit scones left so my friend explained she would go outside and ask me if I'd like the fruit as that was the only option.
When she went back immediately the girl had sold the last 2 fruit scones to the next customers.
Very dissatisfied. 2 x 8 fl oz take away cups . 1 watery hot chocolate (no cream or marshmallows....just powder and hot water) And 1 weak cheap tasting coffee all for £6.20. Left feeling ripped off won't be back
A gorgeous little café inside an old watermill. It's on the Cumbria way so lots of passing walkers on a fine day. Popular when we were there. Another lovely place to revisit. This was a recommendation from our friend who lives in the local area.
Wonderful cafe. From the real tea to their baking, well worth the visit. Their cakes are wonderful. A must visit cafe.
Super little cafe tucked away near the river. Covid restrictions apply as with everywhere at the moment. Operating table service both inside and in the outdoor area. Had views of the the immaculate cricket club. Pity no match on. Carrot cake was the best I have tasted for sometime. Shop also sold some local jam. The strawberry one is to die for, not cheap at £4.50 a jar but you get what you pay for. Overall lovely little village away from the maddening crowds of the Lake district hot spots.
Whilst this is a charming cafe in idyllic surroundings, I am always amazed there are insufficient facilities and staff to handle the amount of covers they offer. We arrived and waited half an hour before I had to enquire about faster service due to my husband's illness. I was told they were busy but would get there ASAP. Another 20 mins and we placed our order waiting for a further 20 for the food and drink. As a business woman I know that if you offer tables I side to seat 50 people then you need the staff and kitchen to deal with processing order. A great shame as we won't go back again for fear of having to wait too long. And ..... the cheese scones would have been delicious had they been warm. So sorry for the review but a few tweaks and you'll be a 5 star.
Wonderful little olde worlde cafe. Lots of organic produce. We only dropped in for a cuppa but the food all looked very inviting. Access is via A5299 road (right side of church) and in amongst an array of quaint little gift shops.
Thanks for looking after my keys ????
