The Kettle Sings

I have recently been twice with different people. Both times with someone ordering jacket potatoes. Sadly both times the potatoes were barely warm. Not anywhere near hot enough to melt the cheese and butter. It’s a shame. The view is spectacular. I’ll still go but maybe just for a coffee or tea.

We often walk here for breakfast and we are always greeted with a friendly welcome and superb service. Love a table by the window and looking at the view. So many places focus on lots of decent coffee options but really neglect tea drinkers. Proper looseleaf Fortnum Mason tea here in a decent sized (full) pot. Fantastic full English and the best poached eggs every time!

Lovely food and service as usual. Had a small issue which was rectified with free drink. The staff were lovely and the setting is beautiful.

Disappointed. My friend and I both ordered the toasted tea cake and were both disappointed especially for the price . Unfortunately they were thin flat dry and hard going , although I did eat mine my friend sent hers back and it did get replaced with a scone but her opinion was that was also dry. When we asked the server if they were fresh tea cakes the reply was : fresh out the freezer this morning! So no . Also it’s unfortunate they do not heat the eating area we were cold and noticed other customers didn’t remove their coats,not ideal for hill walkers that are possibly already cold and wet! As this place is bang on the side by f the hills .

Have been going here since childhood but current owner has upped the ante with a fab varied seasonal menu, delicious vegetarian options, plus Shimmering Mulled Wine, very warming. Please just make sure the heat is on though as took time to warm up today!! Love it though!
