just great

Went on holiday to Cumbria and so pleased to find this tea room only a few miles from the cottage we stayed in. A very pretty old fashioned tea room,lovely cakes and loads are vegan. We sat out one day in the courtyard on a warm sunny day, really made our holiday.

Pros: Garden that dogs can go in., Lots of vegan cakes., Nice staff.

Lovely vegan afternoon tea

I emailed a couple of days in advance and for a very nice vegan afternoon tea! There was a choice of sandwich fillings - we went for the olive tapenade, which was delicious but very strong, so I'd recommend getting another flavour as well. The scones were excellent, and it was nice to get some vegan cream as well. We could choose our cakes from the menu board - the chocolate tiffin was rich and delicious, and the banana and date cake was wonderfully moist. It's a busy place, so it's worth booking in advance if you know when you're going to visit. I loved it!

Pros: Very accommodating of vegans, Delicious afternoon tea available, Good, friendly service

Cons: Very busy!

Traditional Cumbrian at its best

Fascinating quirky building with a very steep staircase, exposed bricks, blazing open fire downstairs and intriguing posters on the walls (e.g. 18th-century advertisements of the sale of ships). Pleasingly huge vegan selection with dishes I haven't eaten out in years, such as sausage and vegetable hotpot. Downstairs is a teashop that really counts as a health food shop in its own right; they have managed to shoehorn in a diverse range of long-life products plus fresh vegetables and a chiller cabinet with vegan cheese. I bought a beautiful tea canister decorated with Japanese paper. I am already planning the return visit

Pros: Great food, lots for vegans, interesting building

Cons: Difficult stairs

Wonderful Tearoom

Gillam's is a lovely traditional tea room. Very friendly. It is vegetarian and mostly organic, with a good choice for vegans. The food is freshly prepared and delicious. The tea is fantastic. Good value for money. Very popular, so you may have to wait for a table at busy times - but this is worth doing.

Pros: Vegan friendly, Mostly organic, Delicious food
