Post Box Pantry - Eden

This is a fantastic spot for lunch! The staff is very friendly and welcoming. They are also pet-friendly, allowing dogs inside or outside and providing treats and a water bowl. We tried the paninis, which were delicious. They also offer a good selection of coffee at a reasonable price.

The portions of food at this restaurant are generous and reasonably priced. They also offer made-to-order sandwiches for takeout, and they even include a biscuit as a nice bonus.

A lovely, cosy, friendly place to stop for refreshments. We all enjoyed the coffees, teas and cakes. Thank you.

When you visit Dufton, do make time for refreshments at the Postbox Pantry (seating outdoors as well as indoors to enjoy the view) The small friendly cafe 's nestled by the village green at the base of the Pennine Hills and near to/on at least three national cycle routes not far from Appleby. It 's also on the Pennine Way. Dufton means the farmstead where the doves were kept . It is mentioned in documents as far back as 1176 and 1291. Dufton has an artists weekend in July followed by the Fellside Agricultural Show Sheepdog trials in August. The Eden Valley has many interesting walks and villages, including Morland famed for its annual choristers camp which meets during the first week of August (7 miles from Dufton, half way to Penrith)

We popped in after a walk (two adults and two teens) great find, friendly service, nice scones with proper clotted cream, and good cakes with a delicious pot of tea. Clean and well kept. Latte coffees better than one normally finds in little local tea shops. Worth a visit if passing by.
