I want to be fair. The staff, the setting, even what I tasted of the food is good, but there was one thing that soured my visit. I ordered a seasonal special, Pigs In Blankets. This turned out to be 5 cocktail sausages on mash with some red cabbage and various crumbs on top and gravy in a pot. There was no bacon, although apparently there were bacon crumbs that I failed to taste. I just felt that the title of the dish was misleading at the very least. Again to be fair the description did set this out so it’s my mistake for not reading carefully and my mistake for trusting the cafe to be trustworthy. It’s not a mistake I’ll be making again.
The cafe was very busy but we were given a buzzer and told the wait would be about 20 minutes, so we went back down into the shop but I’m sure it wasn’t that long before it went off. Husband said his breakfast was beautiful and the rarebit was to die for, I had it with garlic mushrooms which were gorgeous. I’m sorry to say the portion was so good I didn’t quite manage to eat it all (I tried very hard though). The food was great, the staff helpful, friendly and efficient (they never seemed to stop) nothing was left undone.
The cafe is nice and provides good food but some prices are unreasonable. £4.00 for 2 slices of buttered toast but an extra £1.00 for jam or marmalade is a bit tight. Come on Lakeland, do you really need to Milk customers for the small amount of jam it would take to make the toast a good option.
We chose to have a late breakfast at this restaurant and were pleased with our decision as the food was excellent. I ordered the full English breakfast and I must say, the sausages were particularly delicious. Despite the cafe being busy (weekend), we didn't have to wait long for our food.

I recently dined at Lakeland Cafe and tried their unique red pepper, carrot, coconut, and lentil soup, which was delicious. My mother thoroughly enjoyed the Welsh Rarebit dish. We also took home two cheese scones for later. Can't wait to visit again!

Had the pleasure of having lunch here on Thursday. Chose the Glazed Pigs in Blanket and it was a good choice! A real taste of Christmas and loved the festive gravy! Definitely recommend the festive lunch it's a real treat
The restaurant provided excellent service, had a pleasant atmosphere, and served delicious coffee, making it the perfect respite after a shopping excursion in the store.

Amazing lunch in the heart of Windemere. I had the pigs in blankets on mash which was absolutely lovely. Service was first class Emily was brilliant.
Snowed in and stuck in Windermere so tried the breakfast. Really delicious. Staff were helpful and friendly, nothing too much bother.
