Cashing in on visitors, as you would expect, but it wasn't great and not great value for money either.

The hot apple cinnamon is delightful with a slice of lemon cake. The views of the gardens and water is something out of a Woolworth poem. Oh wait, he happens to be buried right around the corner.

Love the fact that it is dog free. It is so hard to find anywhere, especially in the Lake District, which isn't full of dogs, the problem seems to get worse every time we visit. Lovely tea and cake, beautiful situation, spotlessly clean toilets too.

Perfect bowl of Chilli (and a beer) after a bit of fell

Great food stop and lovely location overlooking the River.

When your granddaughters say “ Grandad, can we go to that place opposite the Church, we like the food”… you know you’re on to a good place. “No trip to Grasmere is complete without a pop into the Tea Gardens. The view from the terrace of the river and Church is second to none. Brilliant food - this time we had a 67, 30, and 8 year old and the compact menu appealed to all different age groups. Sensibly priced, really great staff “ do you want the outside heater turned on …?” great quality and decent portions of food, fully recommend… I recommend the drinks the sandwiches the soup the cakes the chilli the ice cream the whole place.

We just had cups of tea, but really nice little place and the outdoor garden/ terrace bit was sublime. Unless you have a fear of birds. Those Jackdaws are voracious. They will not take no for an answer.
A tea garden located in one of the busiest parts of the village with an outside terrace by the river overlooking the Oswald Church. That's why they seemed to always be very busy and full. It would be a perfect place to take a break or quick bite to eat if they could improve their food. The sandwiches and drinks we had here, imho, were at best of supermarket quality though the service was very quick. Our drinks arrived while I was still at the counter settling the bill. All in all, a four star rating because of the environment. Don't expect too much for the food.

Came here with my partner's family for a quick bite for lunch. I had the jacket potato with the homemade chilli and some cheese. It was lovely, jacket potato was cooked well and the chilli was delicious with a nice kick. It also came with homemade coleslaw which was nice. My partner and her family had different panini's and all said that they were lovely. Staff were friendly, would come here again.

Lovely setting and very efficient service. Unfortunately the food was a bit pricey and didn't live up to the otherwise high standards! I had a scone which tasted burnt and the jam provided was really bland and a tiny portion!! My husband's sandwich was similar. Would have expected tastier in such an established place!

We had the mozzarella paniek and my daughter had the scone. She thought it was the best scone she had in the holiday. The paninis were nice and the service very fast. Food and drink is really affordable.
