WELCOME

The award winning Croft House Farm Café in Buttermere village is open every day from 10:00 until 17:00 but please do check our Facebook page for any last minute changes.

We have a a range of sandwiches, snacks and drinks for walkers to take with them, with hot food, cakes and drinks (including excellent coffee) for visitors and the tired returning from a hard day in the hills.

We also stock a basic range of items for walkers, campers and self caterers such as maps and guides, bread, bacon, emergency cagoules etc.

All this in a warm friendly atmosphere and even a free WiFi service. So you can drop in to grab supplies before your walk, if you’re feeling social you can gather round our long table and chat, or if you’re just in need of a quick pick-me-up then you can grab an espresso and a cake.

We are open all year and very much hope that you will visit us soon.

Only called in for a couple of cans of pop. Food... looked really nice though.Took 25 mins to serve 6 people. Every time somebody wanted a coffee this added to the delay.I'd been in there that long, when I left it had changed seasons.read more

Beautiful setting, but average offerings and weak... coffee (extra shot asked for). Lots of potential to make this place a true jewel, but in our opinion it falls short when compared to other places that we've visited.read more

Lovely wee spot just at the carpark/bus stop in... Buttermere. It was a gorgeous day yesterday so it was busy. Decided to wait until after our walk before we got our ice-cream!Served fairly quickly by the friendly staff. Lots of seating, indoors and out. Ice-cream was scrummy. And large! Coffee also nice. Their menu for lunch/food looked good, although we didn't order anything from it.Would I recommend it? Yip certainly.read more

Absolute chaos inside despite the fact it was... only half full, the management didn't appear to be able to cope. We paid £25 for two sandwiches (made with Hovis bread loaves, that didn't even have a bit of salad in them despite me requesting it), one mixed meat Ploughman's salad which consisted of three small slices of ham, three small slices of turkey, a side salad, tomato chutney and pickle (not even a chunk of cheese or a bit of pork pie), and three slices of shortbread. I know these places can be on the pricey side, but it wasn't even decent quality food or portions. £4.20 for a tuna mayo sandwich made with cheap processed bread, a couple of spoonfuls of tuna and a teaspoon of mayo is a very poor do indeed.read more

Lovely vibes, coffee was nice and there were a... few milk alternatives thankfully! The tray bakes were also good and seemed fresh, and there are even some light lunch options such as paninis, salads, etc. The views are beautiful and it’s less than a 10 minute walk from the lake and waterfalls!read more

Great stop for a quick bite in this cafe. Prices... were reasonable and the food itself was really good. I had a tuna panini and my husband had the soup of the day. Staff were great at helping us with heating our baby's food too. Would recommend for anyone coming by this area.read more
