What ChristineDaniel62 doesn't like about The Old Smithy Tea Room:
We just walked 9.5 miles and were looking forward to a nice cuppa. Tea was ok but Carrot cake was dry (probably been sitting around a few days as was last piece). Lady running the place needs some social skills! Very unwelcoming and dour. Go elsewhere. View all feedback. What NickySnutch likes about The Old Smithy Tea Room:
This restaurant is a hidden gem. They serve amazing coffee and delicious homemade cakes. We tried the carrot cake and Gingerbread, both were excellent. Definitely worth a visit! View all feedback.

The Old Smithy Tea Room in Caldbeck offers a mixed experience, with some customers finding the service lacking and the food subpar, while others praise its delicious homemade cakes and excellent coffee. Despite some negative reviews about pricing in the village, this tea room stands out as a hidden gem worth trying. The warm welcome, Full English Breakfast, and homemade ice cream are highlights for many visitors. While there are some inconsistencies in reviews, it seems like a charming spot in a picturesque village that is definitely worth a visit.
