    Brew - Dog Friendly Coffee and Cake Pit Stop!

    Great service, cake and hot drinks for some weary travellers having trekked from Ambleside to Grassmere with two young and energetic dogs! Rustic theme with comfy chairs for a relaxing coffee and chat. Fair price in the area.

    Sandwiches on the go

    Brew, the cafe adjoined to Heidi's lodge, offered us tasty Sandwiches as an apology for disruption caused by a fault with the boiler. I recommend the chicken and Pesto bloomer Bread sandwich.

    Amazing Cake

    Stopped by the cafe to escape the rain. Large range of cakes available. I had the angel cake and it was delicious. Dog friendly. Lots of gluten free options.

    Not good

    Sadly this was a big disappointment. Not too clean. Food very mediocre and not pleasant. The coffee was very poor also. Sadly the staff must have been having a bad day!
