There's outdoor seating, inside is a little dark, especially on a grey day. I think my main issue with it, is that it seems to attract a particular type of clientele (no offence to customers- bitchier versions of my Mother (also, no offence to my lovely Mother)) which can be a little off putting.

Finally, whilst vacationing in the lakes, we found the Fizzy Tarté which sells itself as a champagne and pastry bar, however... their cocktails are worthy of attention too. The service was certainly attentive and we enjoyed our short break from souvenir and clothes shopping (OK I was mainly there to carry the bags!) Pop in sometime and see if you can put the bartender to the test... I think you'd be pleasantly surprised!

A tourist hotspot and definitely a place to go for cream tea. There was lots of tourist traffic as…read morethe outdoor seating area was split into two to allow the tourists to pass through and take pictures of the place. The venue is painted in a nice yellow making it bright and welcoming. Aunty Val's was extremely busy when we went and therefore it took us a while before we were served at our table. When the tea came, it came without milk and one of our guests wanted butter with the scones and it was always hard to track down or see any waiters. Service was hit and miss as we didn't always get smiles. Saying that, I would recommend this place and there may be better service during low season.

Prebook in advance to avoid disappointment!…read more I booked this for our anniversary meal. Despite turning up on time we had to queue outside for at least 25 minutes with several others waiting for people to finish their meals. Once inside the waiter was super apologetic, and you could tell he needed a drink himself. The restaurant was very cosy with interesting pieces of art on the walls. A nice very traditional feel about the place. Anyway the starters consisted of various seafood and meat dishes to which you can size up as a main on average pricing of £7 to £15. I had the pork cheeks and himself the clam spaghetti. While we waited we were presented with canapés consisting of cheese and carmalised onions..the other truffle oil on crackers. These were a very tasty treat. The spaghetti was well made and the sauce light smothering the tiny clams. My pork cheek was super tender, and it lay perched on perfect mash, panchetta, black pudding, pickled onions in a tomato broth. Various bits of bread was also served to mop up this juice. Only criticism clam meat is sooo small in this country so not worth the battle against the shells for such a tiny reward. For mains I had the seafood special which was a bowl filled with mussels, clams, scallop, king prawns and longuistines swimming in a broth and fresh pasta. This was super tasty, cooked to perfection and presented nicely. My only gripe was I only had one at most two scallops. My other half chose the lamb which again was super tender, in a homely bed of mash, sauce and root vegetables. Super simple dish but everything was cooked perfectly. I was feeling quite full but the orange panacotta with orange sorbet was too tasty to miss. It didn't disappoint. Overall despite the disappointing beginning the service was impeccable and food really tasty. However I did expect a bit more in terms of creativity considering this was a Michelin star restaurant. Definitely worth a visit if you enjoy your seafood especially.

The sandwich was pretty basic, but I dipped it into the yummy beef goulash. The meal really hit the spot. I would've liked to sit and take my time, but the cafe was packed and there were groups waiting for tables. The staff never pressured me to hurry up, but I didn't feel comfortable taking up a table for 3 when there were people waiting to eat. It's a decent cafe, but definitely don't expect to kill time here. Dessert selection looked good, the apple pie was sold out so it must be a fan favorite!
