What a lovely little find! We came here for lunch and definitely weren’t disappointed. The portion sizes were great, the food was presented stunningly and to top it off the food tasted amazing. The service we received was brilliant, I can’t have dairy and they were very helpful. We would definitely recommend!

I recently visited Cafe No.4 and had a wonderful experience! The location was perfect and easy to find. The staff were very polite and welcoming, which made the atmosphere even better — cozy and relaxing.
I ordered the tofu with rice (vegetarian dish), it came with very good presentation and it was delicious! It was a little spicy, but in a good way — full of flavor and very satisfying. The portion size was slightly more than expected, but the food was genuinely tasty.
My partner ordered a ham sandwich, which he also really liked.
Overall, we both enjoyed our visit. Great place, good food, and lovely service. Highly recommended!- Meal type

Great place for breakfast and lunch. Food and drinks were amazing. My whole family enjoyed their food and drinks and we all ordered different things. Service was really good! Both people working there were very friendly and accommodating. They were both working very hard but still had a smile on their face! Would 100% recommend this place.

Came here during one of our walks and wasn’t disappointed. Really good service, nice atmosphere and the cakes are amazing. The coffee & caramel cake was delicious, as was the mango smoothie. Will definitely come back.

Amazing cafe, well worth seeking out. We went for breakfast and all had the same. Full English and tea. Breakfast was amazing, great quality, good portion sizes and well cooked. My friend says it was the best cafe breakfast she can remember. Staff very friendly too. We will definitely return.

Thanks so much, Simon! We're really glad you found us—and even happier the Full English lived up to expectations (high praise from your friend!). It’s great to know the food and the team hit the mark. Looking forward to welcoming you all back soon!
My parents and I dropped in for some lunch and we absolutely loved it. The couple who run it are very cheerful and efficient. The food was amazing (we didn’t have room for cake but they looked delicious). We will definitely head back when we are next in the Lake District. 10/10

Wow! What a dining experience at Cafe No.4! The food (and coffee) is amazing and very reasonably priced. A must visit for anyone who enjoys fresh and tasty home cooked food and a a super warm and friendly service. We eat out a lot and this is by a fair mile the best place we have ever eaten. Would give 10 stars if we could

Hi Jenny, Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service, it means a lot to hear such kind feedback. We really appreciate your recommendation and look forward to welcoming you back again soon! 💛
Came here for the first time today and it was fantastic! The service was amazing and the staff were so lovely. The location is tucked away from the busy main street, which gives it a warm and cosy atmosphere. They were really happy to change my order, even though I can be a bit picky! The food was fantastic — amazing quality and great prices. I’ll definitely be coming back with my mum!

It was a pleasure having you in, and we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience (and photos too!). Hope to see you again soon for another relaxed brunch at Café No 4!
Very Good service, super friendly staff! Even though there’s only a couple of vegan options, well worth a visit for Veggie or Vegan. Had the Tofu rice bowl and it was delicious. Really good portion and great presentation. Thank you
