Brantwood Cafe - South Lakeland

Was recommended to stop here off a boat trip. We sat outside and enjoyed the amazing views you got. Staff friendly. Fruit scones amazing.

We came here after a lovely walk from the water. There was lots of room on the terrace and also inside the café. It was table service only but the waiter was quick to take our order and food was quick to arrive. The menu is rather simple but caters to people who are gluten free and vegans. Me and my husband both ordered a toastie which was tasted great and enjoyed a drink whilst taking in the view. The only slight issue we had was when it came to paying. We went inside to pay and due to how busy it was I stood at the counter for a good 3-5 minutes before my presence was acknowledged. Otherwise, an ideal lunch.

Tea no Darjeeling on offer. Tea is tea bags not tea leaves. Cake serviceable but not excellent. Scone fruity but rather dry and maybe a bit overcooked. Jam tiny glass pot. Music finished up with some kind of rap. Overall disappointing Chris and Gilly Addison former proprietors till 2015 you are missed and your standard of excellence has not been maintained.

The view is tremendous. The lunch was awful unappetising, bland, small portions, and twice the price of other places. Would not recommend at all.

Great spot for views and the amazing Brantwood Lunch sadly at the cafe not up to much. Had home made bao buns with crispy duck. If it had said starter maybe fine as literally two forkfuls of duck so very disappointing…
