The Lanes Cafe & Licensed Bar — Restaurant in England

Absolute gem of a find, in the centre of Cockermouth Market Town in the lake district. This small cafe is tucked away down a side lane just off Main street next to Boots pharmacy, if you can't find it, just ask.

This lovely cafe, quirkily decorated, serves superb food from homemade cake and scones to main more filling delights like gammon, cumberland sausage, and lasagne.

Daily specials are available, alongside pensioners specials and afternoon teas for £11.95 a head. Prices are very cheap. 2 x teas £3.80. Main meal specials £7.95 or 2 x £12.00.!

Outdoor seating is available and well behaved dogs are welcome but owners are politely asked to 'lie down' their pouches.

My experience was less than pleasing, when I asked what flavour lattes they had I was told to look at the bottles behind the counter, one of which was not visible. She seemed uninterested and quite rude. It’s a shame as the place has real potential and with more attentive staff it would be a...
