Hamish's — Restaurant in Borough of Pendle

Hubby and I stopped at Hamish’s Café and Bar whilst in the area on Gallery deliveries. It stays open after many other places on a Sunday and we only really wanted a cuppa but saw that the location of this place had a great view too.

We were tempted by the scones, freshly baked and served with jam and clotted cream.

They were completely delicious although the scones were very large! They did however come with a little pot of jam and plenty of cream!

The café is very large with plenty of outside seating and great views out the front. There is also a big car park to the side.

The bill for today was £24.20 which included the scones, a large americano, a pot of tea and a delicious homemade brownie to take home.

Their Christmas Menu looks great and sounds excellent value for money but fortunately it’s a little too far to travel for us.

The staff were all lovely and we will be very happy to call here again next time...

The first visit was terrible, (we gave the benefit of doubt just incase it was an off day) the second and final visit was even worse!

First visit we were served with luke warm coffee and poached eggs on toast that were as hard as bullets. I thought that it must have been a bad day and that the chef hadn't turned into work so someone else had substituted. Second visit, it was quiet, we ordered our drinks which were two cold drinks, so not complicated, we made it known that we wanted to eat so were given the menus. We perused the menus and made our choices and then we waited and waited and waited and waited some more for someone to take our order. The waitress who had given us the menus said she would be back to take our order. 30 minutes of waiting and having finished our drinks we paid and moved on to a more pleasant and professional...

We were staying at Valley View pods just opposite Hamish’s and they had a menu to view. Menu was inviting and reasonable, so looked at online at reviews, which made our mind up to try Sunday Lunch as there were so many great reviews. Only booked the same morning for a table for 5 adults, 2 children and a pram and the lady on the phone was welcoming and helpful. The cafe is lovely and light with amazing views. Our table was waiting, bonus right by the front window. The staff were very welcoming, especially with the children. We all had a roast beef lunch and can say it was plentiful and delicious. The service was good and friendly and the meal very good value for money. I would not hesitate to recommend Hamish’s to anyone , and hope to return to sample more of the delicious looking...
