Falls Cafe - Craven

Caffe not especially welcome. the place was empty. I was there too. I understand hygiene rules, but the responsible woman would not even let my daughter have a glass of water. we ordered a scones and a part chips. no metal cutlery and no ordinary ****! why? all used was single use plastic. shocking! for the landfill! what is with clean dishwasher and cutlery and a dishwasher? very misguided ethos about hygiene and cleanliness. I have a flat white one. in my life. not even a half-decent old milk coffee. pretty disgusting. ingleton waterfalls trail is the whole opposite of caffe: absolutely brilliant.

Popped in for a cup of tea before enjoying the local falls walk. Place was largely empty and we sat outside to enjoy our tea and the sunshine, deciding it was a good place to also eat our packed lunch. Lady in charge came out...and rudely insisted we put our food away, noting the signs that say only purchased food may be consumed. I countered that although we agree with the principle, the place was empty and it seemed ridiculous to police this given that it was empty. Despite this the lady persisted and insisted that we put our food away or she would ask us to vacate the grounds. We appreciate the rule was there but that this is intended to protect their benches etc for paying customers in busy times. We had made a purchase in the shop and were causing no bother. The whole experience spoiled what had been a fantastic day so far and is a true lesson in jobsworth and poor customer relations.

Difficult to leave a review! After checking on the website for opening we saw your specific Christmas opening times between dec and jan and planned our trip around lunch before walk- arrived to find it all closed up- apparently not open between...Christmas despite website description. So my review is simply to warn others to check before leaving! We were lucky it was a glorious day and bakers were open- phew!

We have not long opened for breakfast, a fantastic eier benny and the family were so nice, can not wait to book for the restaurant if it is not busy

My wife and daughter visited this restaurant and found that we were the only customers there. The cafe had not properly reopened after the lockdown, and when we inquired about it, we were told that they were under a lot of stress and could not be bothered. The scones were okay but seemed store-bought, and we were unsure about the quality of their lattes. I ended up preferring the taste of my homemade milky coffee. Everything was served in paper cups and bags, which was a bit disappointing. We should have been cautious when we saw that the restaurant was empty. The food was expensive, and we believe you can find better options elsewhere.
