Blacksmiths Arms – Broughton-in-FurnessBroughton Tennis Club had it's Christmas meal at the Square Cafe on saturday. Everyone was very impressed with the food and atmosphere. Think they have already booked in for next year!. Great place for a private party.
Square Cafe – Broughton-in-FurnessFab little cafe only a few steps from the beach. Good prices and the foods delicious…. hope to be seeing you all soon for even more ice-cream!! :)
Mawsons Ice Cream Parlour and Coffee Shop – SeascalePopped in for lunch on saturday after visting Yew Tree Barn. We were impressed with our meals. A rich sheperds pie and Cullen Skink washed down with a pint of Loweswater. The young lady who served us was friendly and efficient. The only complaint was hand cream instead of soap in the gents which made my hands more greasy than before I went in haha!

Lucy’s On A Plate – AmblesideQuite honestly it is worth a trip to Ulverston just to visit Poppies for lunch or coffee and a cake. What a lovely place. Friendly staff, great food and drink. A real gem in a smashing little market town.
Poppies Cafe and Bistro – UlverstonMet a group of old friends for lunch here after hearing good reports. Glad I listened to the reports. Food was very good, service very friendly (even with a food throwing brat on our table!) and a great selection of beer. Will return. Only sorry the tight Scotsman on our table was left to give a tip and just left £2 a took the fiver for another round! Sorry about that!
The Stan Laurel Inn – UlverstonWe visit South Cumbria regularly and struggle for a good bar meal. Well we have found it today WOW great food service and surroundings. None of our party of 6 were diss appointed and it was all excellent. Good beer too. Be warned the Burgers are big, and also be warned you'll have to go back to try something else on the menu, we will certainly be back. Fabulous !!
Farmers Arms – UlverstonLoved the chowder and real homemade lemonade!
Fourpence Cafe – UlverstonGreat place eat in or takeout. Won lots of awards. Love the pies and quiches and the cinnamon twirls!
Broughton Village Bakery and Cafe – Broughton-in-FurnessThe Square Cafe is quaint with its roaring fire and its mis-matched furniture and art. The service from the young kids can leave something to be desired and you are better of sticking to old favourites like egg and chips.
