HAVERTHWAITE STATION RESTAURANT

Haverthwaite Station Restaurant is your unexpected delight, like finding a fiver in your old coat. Grace Simpson raves about the friendly staff and how her kids loved the outdoor playground. This spot is all about the tea and scones, and their hot chocolate is apparently the best you’ll find. The ambience is delightful, especially with the steam trains rolling by – nostalgic vibes all around.

But while many are singing praises, there’s a note of caution; Paul Coulthurst pointed out that some tables are stickier than a toddler’s fingers after a sweet treat. If you can avoid the stickiness and just dive into the hearty fare, you’ll be pleasantly surprised – just don’t expect a Michelin star experience here.
