This is a perfect cafe and a place to hang out, I would definitely recommend going here. When I…read morefirst saw this it was closed due to low supplies, and I'm not surprised. The hot chocolate is the most delicious hot chocolate I have ever tasted. And the churros had the right amount of cinnamon. And the chocolate sauce tasted just like the hot chocolate. The staff were friendly and helpful and provided tasters of the drink. The WiFi is locked with a password, this may seem like a downside, but it isn't, it protects the network and stops high traffic so it is good . Pricing is very reasonable, 6 churros, large hot chocolate plate, chocolate caramel slice, tea and a tub of ice cream equates to around £15 pound. Better than other shops around the area. I enjoyed it greatly and I highly recommend. Only drawback is the font is papyrus.

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!

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!

My dad told me pay a visit to this butchers after buying a piece of machinery from them for our bakery and then finding out how much AWARD WINNING produce they have! I got told to get the award winning bacon and Cumberland Sausages. So, in we walk and I have never seen so many award winning signs in my life! What to choose??? Let's start with the Cumberland sausages - two kinds, both please! And then to the choice of bacon, well, how do people choose?? We opted for the black treacle cured back bacon (award winning obviously) and Adam Y chose the oak smoked back bacon. All the bacon was boasting not to leave that nasty white stuff in your pan. While we were here we picked up some award winning pies too. Pork Pie, Peppered Steak Pie and Chicken Pie. All of which looked perfect (coming from a baker, that's a HUGE compliment) and i am told they tasted just as good! The service we received whilst in the shop was second to none. Enough said. If you are ever passing Windermere town (and you eat meat) you must pay Huddlestons a visit! x

'The most memorable thing about Windemere was a "Cornish" pasty I bought from Huddlestone's Butchers in Windemere. It was so good I returned to the shop to tell them so, and the man said he had obtained the recipe from an old friend of his in Cornwall, who had recently retired, and finally parted with his secret recipe. So if you are in the Lake District, and craving for a "genuine" Cornish pasty, go along to Huddlestone's Butchers in The Avenue, Windemere.' I am so pleased that they have been recognised as the 'Premier' in 2016. Congratulations to all at Huddlestones. And yes, I can still remember how good it was. And I still live in Cornwall.

The pastry was flakey and buttery and the filling was quite good. They of course had traditional and other savory pasties as well. They also have croissants.
