Easily accessible off the a1 with free parking and I can even do my weekly food shopping in the farm shop. The thing i love the most about brambles coffee shop are the daily specials and the brambles club sandwich. this place has a wonderful atmosphere, not like you usual fast food coffee shops, more like a restaurant but with very cheap prices. you can eat and drink for under £5 easily and be well fed with huge portions. In summer you can not beat sitting outside in the sunshine at brambles. this place can get extremely busy and must do tremendously well. thats why they have decided to build a large extension i suppose but it just shows what good friendly service, good comfy atmosphere and good value tasty food can do. I can highly recommend the paninis or the prawn salad. the salads are very large so go hungry first.

Just off the big roundabout at the A66 Penrith exit from the M6, the cafe sits above Cranston's Cumbrian Food Hall and it's a fantastic place to stop. The menu is simple, good quality, home-cooked food from local sources. The cafe is a lovely space, large and bright with artwork from local artists on display. The breakfasts are wonderful, they have specials on all day as well as the regular menu, the home baking is amazing and the prices are pretty reasonable. The food hall downstairs is also fantastic - from fresh to frozen, vegetables, meat and fish counters, fresh bread, an amazing deli area and a lovely selection of wine, craft beer and local ciders. This is a travel stopover that will delay you a lot longer than you expected!

Really bright and colourful, little playpark out of the back for kids, and you can sit outside or in the conservatory too. Great, fun decor, and a lovely gift shop. The food; cakes, sandwiches, tiffins, soups, quiches, and drinks; coffees, teas, pops, milkshakes, juices, are all pretty standard, but they're reasonably priced, and better quality than something out of a packet at a motorway services or such. I can imagine this being a good break on a long drive with whiny or restless children in the back of the car, but it's good for restless adults too!

Highly recommended stop if travelling on the A66 (especially Eastbound, as there's really not a lot on this road until you get to Mainsgill Farm Shop, 30-odd miles further towards the A1). Well worth a look at also for unusual gifts, as there's not much like this place in Penrith. Very friendly staff, and very cute Llamas!

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.

Goats in the field, hens roaming free, and two water wheels - one working to mill the flour. The cafe has a very limited menu, but what they do they do extremely well. I had fabulous quiche with crispy spelt four crust and exquisitely good salad selection. The soups are delicious and the breads are to die for. Served on ceramics made by local potters. There's a selection of organic foods and gifts to take home, as well as baked goods. Try the onion bread! More expensive than average, but well worth it. And once you rejoin the main road turn left to continue over Hartside - a stunning drive.
