CAFE

Chesters offers exciting, delicious and different food made from scratch everyday. We make and bake everything ourselves from our tiny kitchen and bakery. Jams, chutneys, curds, pickles, cakes, breads, pastries and, of course, our breakfasts and lunches. Our food is available to eat in and take away and our ever growing 'Own Brand' products are available in the shop.
 
Chesters seats about 90 inside and when we can (when the rain is not torrential!) we can open the doors to the decking over the Brathay and seat another 70 outside too.
We are extremely lucky to be where we are, an exceptionally beautiful location at the start of the Langdale Valley, overlooking the west face of Loughrigg and in the very heart of the Lake District.
