Fantastic dairy free cakes that are some of the best I’ve tried (and I’ve tried quite a few!) Wonderful service from a really helpful and knowledgeable member of staff. Really know their food, can tell you what’s in it and can make suggestions to suit your requirements. Absolutely 5 star experience and will certainly be back!

Great shop. Picked up some sandwiches for our hike up Scafell. Came back the next day to stock up on hamper goodies ready for Christmas. Lovely shop. Great local produce. Good selection of alcohols too with tonnes of local knowledge from the friendly staff.

Popped in as looked amazing from the outside. Even better inside! The Mac N Cheese pie and the Cheesy Bean Pie are out of this world as is the Frittata and Salad Selection. Friendly staff, delicious food and really clean. Will definitely return when in the area. 5*****

Great veggie sandwich shop. Great for dropping in and getting your hiking food. Can’t recommend enough.

Fabulous take out lunch/picnic food, vegetarian & vegan. Beautiful pies, pastries, cakes etc. Also a deli, with some great local produce. Friendly service. Highly recommend!

Great food: a wide range of savoury pasties, soup, salads and more. Quality of food is really good. There is no sitting, but you can find benches nearby in front of Fatface and Rohan shops.

Spoilt for choice! Family of four veggies, stumbled across this real find! Such an incredible selection of freshly prepared savouries! Scotch eggs, sweet potato and goats cheese! Gorgeous! VLT was delicious, vegetable frittata and gorgeous fresh salad, amazing choice of salads! Would highly recommend. DELICIOUS!

We stopped in here for some lunch to bring with us up Helvellyn mountain. There were plenty of options veggie, vegan and gluten free. We opted for the sweet potato and spinach pie as well as some smoked tofu and salad sandwiches and Anzac cookies (all vegan). My goodness were these exactly what we needed when we got to the top of the mountain! SO tasty! The pie in particular was so moist it was a dream. We even returned the next day to pick up some more of the same plus some vegan shortbreads for our journey home. It's a shop as well as cafe so there are plenty of food and drink items to buy.

Called in to browse and bought some pastries and a bowl of mixed salads to take away for a picnic lunch. The brie and onion quiche was yummy. The salad box was huge! The salads were each so different but so fresh and flavourful with enough leftover for tea. Will call in again when next in Ambleside.

Visited in 2019 and had fabulous gluten free tiffin. Visited again June 2021 and none on display, but we asked and they made it specially for collection the following day - fabulous customer service and the tiffin was still wonderful! Also had take away brie and roasted onion tarts with roasted vegetables as take away for our picnic all of which were to die for! topped off with a slice of really yummy lemon drizzle cake. Lovely cheerful service. We will be back!

We enjoyed our take away lunch, freshly made and full of flavours, very reasonable price for our drinks and sandwiches.

All the five star reviews are spot on. Fantastic food and great value. Can’t recommend it enough, especially the chocolate brownie.

We were looking for a healthy takeaway lunch and thank goodness we tried Rattle Ghyll Deli. Absolutely delicious food. We had a salad bowl crammed with so many tasty ingredients and also a stunning falafel wrap. The food is fresh, tasty and reasonably priced. The staff are lovely.

Now Rattle Ghyll Deli and serving a much wider range of takeaway food. All homemade and delicious. Alec and Clare have stepped up their game and now offer a huge range of vegetarian foods as well as alcohol. Great to see them expanding their business. Well worth a visit and great food for a Lake District walk. We love the Bhudda Bowls and took them on a boat on the lake. We also love their front runner muesli and Belazu products.
