The Lemon Tree Cafe-Bistro — Restaurant in England

First visit with a friend for a bite to eat whilst attending an event in town. Located within Devonshire Arcade, it's a wonderfully inviting café. It has a quaint but modern interior with ample tables of varying sizes inside and a few in a space out in the Arcade, too. Along with the menu on the table, there's a large specials board giving a fabulous choice. We opted for sausage and bacon sourdough rolls with fried potato pieces and chilli jam. The best sourdough I've had in ages and those potato pieces were so crispy. I had an infusing pot of fragrant Earl Grey tea, and we might have spotted the cake.

There's WiFi for customers which was essential for us to extend our parking so we didn't miss that cake. There's plenty of parking available around the town. We opted for Bluebell Lane.

The service was fab and the whole place had a lovely feel to it. If you ever find yourself hungry in Penrith then I definitely recommend this cafe, the food was delicious all round!

I had already eaten half of my lunch before taking the picture but thought I’d...

Took a seat outside, went in to use the toilet the man said "thanks for asking" before telling me where they were, i then came out to ask for an extra menu, told me in a very patronising way to get my camera phone and take a picture of the menu on the wall. think someone needs to stop trying to be funny and work on customer service, thankfully the food was good and the waitress apologised on his behalf. Get rid of him and the place...
