The Yard Kitchen - Carta

Greatest coffee in Cumbria by a long shot. Food is amazing and the place strives and succeeds in eco-friendliness. They even have their own gardens.

Excellent place to eat. Sat outside on the terrace in the sun enjoying a bit of lunch. Had the soup it was gorgeous served with lovely warm bread. Husband had a sandwich which was good too. Had a tray bake each again really nice. All staff were polite and friendly. Also dogs welcome which is a plus for us. Would return if in the area.

I was looking for a high-quality cafe to bring my husband and son for lunch in Penrith, and this place exceeded my expectations. It has a unique atmosphere and offers a fantastic lunch menu. The kids menu was also impressive. After our meal, we had the chance to explore the yard and found some great treasures. I highly recommend this place! Ver carta

This restaurant was a fantastic discovery. They offer a wide variety of delicious lunch options and drinks. The atmosphere is charming and unique, and the service was excellent. They even have a small bookshop at the back. The food was outstanding and made with high-quality ingredients. They use ethical brands and offer a variety of homemade cakes.

This was my second visit and it was just as enjoyable as the first. The ambience is quirky shabby chic with furnishings from the antiques yard below. The welcome is warm and the cafe-style food from an ever-changing menu with a specials board caters for all tastes including vegans. This time my excellent New York deli sandwich came with a mug of the onion soup of the day. Coffee is excellent.

It is worth consulting the specials board..There is a good range from soup to more substantial meals. For Christmas there were two unsual approaches to turkey on offer. My son enjoyed his turkey burger with pigs in blanket.. I had a lentil curry with roasted cauliflower and roast tomatoes.. I enjoy the ambiance of the place and in one room there is a warm stove The service is helpful and friendly. Ver carta

Despite the sign that states ‘dog friendly’ on entry we were told we had to sit in a specific area as we had a dog. We were then approached by a member of staff asking us to put our dog on the floor as ‘not all customers like dogs’. I refused as my little chihuahua was sat on my lap, not on a chair and it felt an unreasonable and rude request. I won’t visit this place again and can’t recommend it to anyone with a dog.

The Yard Kitchen in Penrith is undoubtedly the top spot for dining. It offers a friendly and unique atmosphere, with delightful staff, using the best local ingredients to create delicious dishes. The tempting aroma as you enter will make you crave a slice of cake, even if you're not hungry! The restaurant is also child-friendly and offers plenty of dairy-free and vegan options. Becky and her team are fantastic, making this my favorite place to dine. The corner shop tiffin is a must-try, but be warned, it will have you coming back for more! Definitely worth every bite.

We go to Penrith once a month and always have a look in the Brunswick Yard which is full of items from days gone by. We had never wandered into the cafe alongside it and decided to give it a go. Heading up a tight stairway you are met by a wonderful old worlde cafe, a small dining area to the right and then a larger area to the left. There is also a ground floor area as well. Trish ordered the vegan Buddah Breakfast Roll which had field mushroom and vegeterian haggis in it and I ordered the Big breakfast Roll which had an egg, sausage pate, bacon and vegaterian haggis. Drinks were delivered within 5 minutes and the food around 15 minutes later, which was not a bad thing as it was all cooked... Ver carta
