About

Voted Best cafe in Cumbria by Cumbria Life readers and being awarded the UK's most dog friendly cafe by the Dog Friendly Awards, Cafe hope is catering to all the family. A stone's throw from the lake or a 5 minute stroll from the town centre, Cafe Hope is serving up something for all the family.

With plenty of indoor and outdoor seating, including a covered terrace with private garden and spectacular views, it’s the perfect place to relax with family or friends and enjoy a bite to eat or a drink. We serve all your favourites: breakfast from 10am and lunch from 11.30 am a choice of sandwiches, jacket potatoes and salads. Our home-made tray bakes including stuffed brownies, cookie pies, and brookies are a well-earned treat after a walk - our cream tea has people walking miles to get them. Our epic milk shakes are Instagram worthy and hot chocolates are legendary! We are fully licensed so you can enjoy a glass of wine with lunch or a beer after a game of pitch and putt. We have a children’s menu that the kids will love! Our doggy visitors have their very own menu too, so no need to worry about the dog drooling over your food while you’re trying to eat. They’ll be too busy tucking into their sausages and gravy.

Road Directions

Lake Road and Lakeside Car Park is the closest car park and directly opposite the park. This car park can be very busy, particularly during the summer months. Other car parks are available in the centre of town and the best value one is at Crosthwaite Road where you can park all day for just £3. This is roughly a 20 minute walk from Hope Park but you also get to walk through the beautiful Fitz Park on the way. Another good value option is the car park at the Rugby Club which is just a 5 minute walk away from us, you can park here all day for just £4.
