A lovely little gem in Pateley Bridge! We live nearby, and The Old Granary is one of our favourite spots. It’s always a pleasure to pop in – the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the staff are genuinely friendly. The food is proper home-cooked, delicious and generous, and it always feels like great value for money. It’s also dog friendly, which is a big plus for us – Lucifer our Doberman absolutely loves it there! It’s become his favourite place for a treat (and some fuss from the lovely team). A perfect stop in the village – whether you’re a local or just passing through, we highly recommend it! 5*
Proper lovely place! The service was just amazing, our full English breakfasts (one veggie, one standard) were excellent, and the atmosphere in there was just so friendly and warming! Couldn't recommend enough! It's not huge so timing is key to get a table, or get a reservation in to avoid disappointment ☺️
Great place for home made food warm welcome all the staff are friendly smiles for everyone. Food top notch generous portions more than enough l always overdo it but once you get it you cannot leave it. It's a must try when you visit Pately Bridge you will be completely satisfied with everything.
Found this gem of a café through Google maps and Facebook. Called to make a booking. The lady was warm and welcoming and accommodated our request for Sunday lunch. When we arrived, Don welcomed us to our table by name and couldn't be more helpful. In addition to the printed café menu there was a comprehensive array of specials boards which were fully explained. The vegetables were particularly well cooked and the meal portions were generous; lashings of gravy! All the staff were very pleasant. We noticed that Don had to politely disappoint several potential customers during our visit, as all tables were taken. This is not a large café so be sure to book in advance. Most of our fellow dinners were locals who knew each other. That's a good recommendation in itself.
Had brunch here today with the family, the breakfast I had, has to be one of the best I have ever had, all the food we had was fantastic, the service was also first class, highly recommended, if you are feeling hungry, go here.
