Gillam's does not deserve your custom. The owner has been extremely rude to me on at least 2…read moreoccasions, and I will not be going back. Although the young people working there have always been extremely pleasant, there is one older waitress who appears as glum as the owner, though if he was my boss, I would be equally down in the dumps. He has clearly never heard of the saying the customer is always right, and on one occasion, had an argument with a friend of mine because she wanted unsweetened soya milk in her tea (he could have walked through to his shop to get some, but instead, verbally attacked her in front of a tearoom full of customers). During the last few years, there have been times when it has been warmer outside than in this tearoom (maybe it was the frostiness of the owner). He was also insisting on people wearing masks even if they were exempt, and when there was no government requirement for them to do so. Instead of being able to look for a seat without a chaperone, you now have to stand behind a barrier (no doubt to be vetted by the owner) before you are let in and not given a seat of your choice. Gilliam's website states that the tearooms offer the same quality and service that the Gilliam family is famous for, but in my experience, this could not be further from the truth. If the owner can afford to treat people in such an appalling manner, he is obviously charging any remaining customers he does have way too much money.

The trouble with sitting at the back of the shop, I find, is it gives you time to look around you at all the goodies which pack the shelves. Worth mentioning are the various jams and pickles made by local companies, such as Damels Pickles and the Hawkeshead Relish Company.

The best one has large chunks of ham and turkey. The pastry is good. They have a good selection of local meat, including the Herdwick lamb from the nearby Duke of Devonshire's estate.

Don't expect many pies to be left in the afternoon. Local schoolchildren know this secret.

People mainly come here for coffee. They have two computers which you can use for half an hour free, if you buy a drink. The management have an ambivalent attitude to people with disablilities. When the building was converted, after the Act which made access to buildings mandatory, they put in a disabled toilet, however, there is an eight inch step as you go in. In my experience, if you are taken there in a wheelchair or by a carer you are welcome. There are those of us who are not in this position who have been made less welcome by the management.This is a very personal point of view, however in all other respects I have been factual. The waiters and waitresses are lovely.
