We first came across Yew Tree Barn for breakfast on our way home after weâd been recommended by the owners of Peony cottage in Newby Bridge where weâd been staying back in May. The breakfast was so good we said we would definitely be calling again in September when we were coming back to Peony Cottage. And so as soon as we arrived back we went straight there for lunch ( homemade Chowder with homemade cheese scone , ÂŁ9 and the most fantastic sweet potato chips ÂŁ3.50. Brilliant value and excellent quality. It was so good my wife and I went back and had the same thing again. The staff are also 5* I run a Motorcycle Training Scheme in Sheffield, and have 333 5* out of 333 and so I recognise how important it is to give a good all round service. The shop is absolutely brilliant as regards the architectural stuff and all the mixture of different things they sell. This business is 5* all round. Weâll see you again tomorrow. Thank again. Keep up the great work. Mike/Kathryn Barlow. Mike Barlow, Motorcycle Training, Sheffield. My wife and I have returned to the Lake District this week ( Monday 25/9/23/ after a year away, we went direct to Harryâs Bar on Monday. We had a fantastic meal, staff were very friendly as always.

Congratulations on the award youâve received. Warm Regards Mike/Kathryn...

And the cafe has never failed to have friendly staff and absolutely incredible food! The last meal I had there was a full english breakfast, it was a nice big portiom and beyound delicious!! I was especially impressed that even their hashbrowns were homemade which I think really shows when a place...
   Read moreI have been a regular to Harry's cafe and have always enjoyed my visits there. When I heard it was being refurbished I was keen to see what has been done. The interior is very much improved. Very unfortunately the menu etc has been changed and not for the better. I was with 3 friends and we all agreed it isn't as good. Firstly there were no sandwiches on the menu and little choice for vegetarians or those with dietary requirements. Furthermore I have always enjoyed having a cafetiere as its fresh coffee every time you can adjust the strength feel its value for money and tastes better. I said how disappointed we were that they no longer do cafetieres. We are not a fan of machine coffee.
