Great food but very slow service…read more We were on the last day of a very boozy weekend in the lakes and needed a good breakfast to help us along. We hid from the rain this little cafe and ordered some excellent fry ups. Two of us had the standard English breakfast while Dan went for the large version which contained a serious amount of meat. I really enjoyed mine. The line up was scrambled egg (you get to choose you egg type), sausage, bacon, black pud, beans, tomato, mushrooms, hash brown and toast. My toast could have been more toasted (it was still pretty much bread) but everyone else's looked good so I think it was a blip. I had a latte too which was good. It's waitress service to order but they were not in any rush to come over so if you are hungry I'd suggest heading up to the counter.

After checking out the Wordsworth Daffodil Garden and family grave, I stopped in here to have a…read morerefreshment. Our tour guide gave us about 45 minutes in Grasmere to sightsee and have tea. I opted to have a Prosecco instead of tea this time around. A 20 cl bottle of Prosecco was only £5.99. Very reasonable. It was very good. It's enough for 2 people really. I also purchased a slice of Banofee which unfortunately was a little dry. It was the end of the day, so it has dried out. The Prosecco was nice though! I thought I'd celebrate the fantastic tour of the Lakes we had that day! The Potting Shed also has an apparel section, candles and beauty products, and everything you would need for your garden. I would recommend their cafe for a refreshment but I would avoid their quick breads at the end of the day. I'd get the coconut cake next time.

Spaghetti bolognese was tasty, unique with what I think was an additional dab of pesto, and filling. Pizza was good, but probably not the best. Lemon cake was good, but not particularly noteworthy. Service averaged out to okay, since one person was rather nice, and one was rather not. Soup was that good, to give the restaurant 5 stars. I forget what time it was exactly, but when other restaurants were closed, this place remained open.

Idiosyncratic, unique, slightly scatty, The Jumble room lives up to its name. Downstairs us all scatter cushions and throws and upstairs is more restrained. Some tables have benches which can be quite romantic depending on who you sit next to. The walls are adorned with rural artwork including several paintings of cows! The toilets are covered with old album covers which makes it hard to leave as you recall what that old David Bowie album actually looked like. The food is I suppose restrained British though with foreign nods. I had the mixed cured meats to start. It was lovely. A rump steak to follow was well hung and tasty. Desert was another great cheeseboard. A fantastic place which I look forward to returning to-but not too often.

My wife had an Asian influenced roast chicken that was delicious and I had the lamb tagine that was exotic and tender as can be. For starters I had a delicious pork belly that was equally flavorful. For desert we had a Scottish whiskey cream and berries that was perfect. Combined with a bottle of fine Zinfandel we enjoyed a perfect meal. I hope more visitors discover this restaurant.
