* Chef Gerald van der Walt has moved to Linthwaite House, Bowness-on-Windermere and has been replaced by Chloe Lancaster Lowe. Watch for a new review coming soon.*
The sort of café you always hope to find, where heartily generous homemade food comes with a dose of originality, making the best of place and time. That’s exactly what chef and Simon Rogan alumnus Gerald van der Walt is doing at this charming south Lakes spot (there’s excellent vintage/reclamation browsing in the Barn too). A chowder is thick with smokey haddock, while a rarebit bites with mustardy vigour – or you could go big with a Cumbrian cassoulet with local sausages and beans. Cakes, all made on site, are properly, stickily rich. Breakfast is served daily, Sunday lunch weekly, and once a month there are cracking-value Friday night suppers.
