The Mallard Tea Shop — Restaurant in England

Called today with husband. Ordered 2 Cumberland sausage buns, after I found 2 pieces of something hard (gristle?) I couldn't eat anymore, not long after husband found similar in his, not nice, not the best quality sausage. Ordered a piece of biscuit & cherry slice to remove the sausage memory, this slice was lovely, nice balance of biscuits and cherry with a thick real chocolate topping. Felt very uncomfortable sitting at the table near the door as a couple were allowed to stand for at least 15 minutes whilst waiting for a free table - we felt "watched" for the majority of our time in there, perhaps the people waiting should be asked to wait outside or a booking taken and asked to return at the allotted time. I wish the lady taking our payment (who was pleasant enough) had asked if our meal was OK because I would have told her, alas she didn't hence my somewhat negative...

What an absolutely cutey lovely cosey little stopping off cafe this is. Massive scones with good quality whipped cream and very fruity packed jam. Twinnings teas served in lovely jubbley cutey tea sets . On both visits here to the The Mallard Tea Shop it was a pleasure to visit ...and great to know for lunches too that by the way looked superb ... Cartmel is so lovely and this little well run place with excellent service and great produce and presentation of good quality foodies is an asset to the village for sure for sure for sure...

Whilst visiting the lakes we decided to go for breakfast after seeing some good reviews and those reviews were spot on. The ladies that run this cafe were so welcoming.

We had breakfast sandwiches and my daughter had a toastie. The produce was of excellent quality which really stood out. Has to have been the thickest sausage I have ever had. All was truly...
