Arnside's Old Bakehouse

We have been here many times and each time it seems to have changed. It used to feel like a cafe, but now feels more like a takeaway. Only a couple of tables, and tall benches. We really enjoyed what we ate. 5 stars to the young men who served us...very polite and obliging. Bring back the tables and chairs and a bit of side salad!

I have always loved this place, the food is wonderful and on the many occasions that I have visited the service was good too. However, today it was dreadful. The chap in front of me gave up and walked out - his drinks had gone cold by the time his order came - and it was wrong. I ordered two drinks and a brownie slice, not a big complicated order, waited ages and the woman behind me was served first! I am hoping that this was a one off, I will go again but I have to register huge disappointment. Footnote - I have come back a week later and the food, coffee AND service excellent. I have upped the star rating from 2 to 5,credit where it is due.

Friendly but small cafe with great view across the estuary. Pies, quiches, and pasties of superb quality ranging from the classic to that something a little bit different. We enjoyed a gorgeous vegan sausage roll that would have sent Piers Morgan into apoplexy. From the daily board, it looked like some nice meat and vegan breakfasts as well.
