Cafe Ambio — Restaurant in England

The location is fine, the staff are lovely but the food just isn't that great (and it's very expensive).

We've been several times as we live close-by and it's just consistently "ok".

Today we had sandwiches and soup. One cup of soup with a sandwich is £15.

My sandwich, a beef and horseradish did not contain any horseradish and instead was coated in mayonnaise. Beef was tough and the whole thing was really difficult to eat.

The soup was an abomination, it tasted like it had burned during cooking and they'd just served it anyway. Neither my husband nor I could eat it (and my husband eats literally everything usually! 😭)

Our daughter had a burger and that was decent, so I guess there are some menu items they get right.

I hope Ambio continue to do well as they have several locations now in our area.. I just think we'll avoid it...

Not what you'd expect from a cafe where people are hiking and cycling. Quite an expensive sit down restaurant type place. The only "to go" savoury option at lunch time was a hefty sausage roll with no price marked. Asked if they had any sandwiches to take on our walk and they were happy to make a simple ham and cheese on white but it would be the same £10 price as their proper plated sandwiches. £10 for two slices of bread, and a slice of ham and cheese! Coffee was actually quite good, but also not offered as takeaway. Also probably a good place for dogs, they had four different types of foods on counter...

After a zip trek through Grizedale Forest, Café Ambio was the perfect place to recharge with a drink. The setting is lovely, with big windows and views of the beautiful woodlands, making it a relaxing spot to sit and enjoy the scenery.

They offer a great selection of drinks—whether you’re after a quality coffee, a refreshing tea, or even a cold beer. I went with a Coca-Cola, which was perfect. The staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was warm and inviting.

Highly recommend Café Ambio as a go-to spot for drinks if you’re exploring...
