Harry’s Café
Cumbria, Low Newton - Modern British - Café
Part of Yew Tree Barn (a locally renowned antiques and reclamation centre), this café has been beautifully designed with vintage furniture, woodburners and lots of clever detailing. You need to book for sell-out family-style Sunday lunches, when everyone sits down together and eats from a two-course set menu – perhaps thick slices of local beef sirloin (cooked pink) followed by salted caramel tart. At other times, simply turn up on spec for breakfast/brunch dishes and lunches with an international flavour – think Korean fried buttermilk chicken, venison chilli nachos or halloumi noodle salad. To drink, there are reasonably priced wines as well as beers from Cumbrian breweries. A cosy vibe prevails, helped along by ‘fantastically friendly staff’.
