Poet's Cafe At Helm Crag

Had a lovely restorative late lunch after a rainy hike. Delicious soup and crusty bread served by cheerful and attentive Serene. We really enjoyed the experience! Service: Dine in Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £1–10 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

Located snugly against the hill, this tearoom and bar is a must-visit! The stunning view, delicious baked goods, and top-notch service make it the perfect spot to recharge during your walking adventure. I give it a 5-star rating for food, service, and atmosphere.

Beautiful setting, lovely staff but ridiculously expensive. £2.90 for half a Pepsi!! Good for a short stop off on a long walk.

Relaxed and friendly cafe at end of our Helm's Crag Hike. New girl, learning the ropes, was super friendly and accommodating despite it being her first day. Yummy bacon breakfast bap for my husband and vegan breakfast bap for me. Delightful coffee and outdoor picnic benches in sunshine and shade complete with water bowls for thirsty pups. Highly recommend a stop here. Also the lunch/dinner Omni and vegan friendly menu look amazing but bear in mind it starts from 12noon so we were too early. A must stop when stomping around the hills of Grasmere

The cafe is clearly better visited in the summer months and/or decent weather. The indoor space is very small and dark, But the home made soup and cakes were good and the range of beers and spirits looks good.
