Minstrels Gallery in South Lakeland

A lovely place to to take a break and the staff were very welcoming, dog friendly inside and out. Food was excellent and well priced. A Definite must when in Hawkshead 😍😍😍

Delightful tearoom, full of character. Very friendly service, reasonable prices. Definitely recommend.

A lovely country cafe soon to have a make over and to get a drinks license.lets hope they don't spoil the atmosphere.

Best latte I have had in years, lovely cakes. Good service too

Glowing reviews are fully justified. We were warmly greeted and the two of us seated at a table for four without hesitation.No questions about whether you’re having lunch etc as some touristy places do when busy. They were having to politely turn some people away when full, but also made every effort to fit people in with a flexible approach.Service from everyone first rate throughout. Friendly, efficient, genuine.They’ve been careful not to ruin the look of the old building and it still feels like a lovely traditional spot but with good coffee. Mind your head if taller (I didn’t :-))We tried a bacon bap and Cumberland sausage bap. Both were as good as it gets. I’m fussy. Bacon was generous, well cooked with no trace of uncooked fat, rind or watery residue. Plenty of it.Cumberland sausage bap was generously stuffed and delicious. I was very tempted to get another (!) and will have to find an excuse to return to Hawkshead soon.

Service was great, food and drinks were lovely. All in all a great cafe and dog friendly too. Would definitely recommend.(also easily the best hot chocolate we've ever had)

A perfect example of the best of British cafes! The menu is extensive (including vegan options), the food is fresh and delicious, and the service is great. The waiting staff all wore masks and cleaned the tables and chairs befor each seating. Highly recommended!

Really nice spot for afternoon tea. The savoury one is amazing, and all the options I saw looked fantastic. The staff are really friendly and it’s a great place to stop for a breather. Highly recommended.

Popped in for a coffee yesterday & what a delight. Lovely brew & I consumed my first ever lemon & blueberry scone. OMG, if I had realised for one second how delicious they were I would have bought a truck load. Super Service, spotlessly clean & good observance of covid precautions. I can heartily recommend it.

Excellent tea for two served in a large tea pot made from proper leaf tea. We had home made tea bread and a scone with jam and cream. The cream was clotted cream! Delightful with lovely friendly service too.
