Restaurants · Appleby-in-Westmorland
A community café that genuinely earns its 4.9 — and rare in that children raiding the toy box or book shelf is met with patience rather than sighs. There's a huge amount of space, so prams fit and you don't feel crowded even when it's busy, with big comfortable sofas alongside ordinary tables and chairs, plus outdoor seating and free parking. The food is fresher than typical café fare: homemade bread with local butter and cheese, interesting salads, the Hub Bountiful Bowl, the Hub Club sandwich, and sausage baps that regulars swear by. Cakes are the draw — the vegan carrot cake wins over dairy eaters too. Kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access are all sorted, prices are reasonable for ££, and one parent sums it up: children can "be kids" here.
A little something creative for your next meal out. Filled with colouring, simple drawing prompts for cute animals, origami and conversation starters designed to bring more play, laughter and connection to the table. 3 free printable packs for toddlers, preschoolers and primary-aged children.
