Cavendish Pavilion - Craven

Lovely setting with a well stocked and well run cafe. Right on the banks of the river. The staff did a great job when we were there, despite a few challenging customers. We’ll be back for spring time fayre and walks.

This is a lovely place to finish your walk at Bolton Abbey apart from one thing. The service is terrible!! Our party of 4 had a 40 minute wait from joining the queue for drinks to actually receiving them. It's a barista type service for coffee; you order and pay for your drinks then wait until they're ready. Unfortunately it takes the staff a long time to prepare and serve coffees; I don't think it's their fault, there just isn't enough coffee making equipment to process more than one cup at a time. It's bad enough to put me off going at busy times which is a pity because it's such a nice place otherwise.

The cafe used to be a great place to finish a walk. Now there is hardly any choice or fresh hot meals. Prepackaged sandwiches, drinks sometimes cool and very slow service. Add that to the £15 to park and it just isn’t worth a visit.

My children and I visited the pumpkin trail this week. We had a great time, finished off with a hot drink and cake. Even though it was massively busy the staff were friendly and helpful and great with the kids. Will definitely go again thanks

Stopped recently after a long cycle with friends. Really pleasant place to stop and refuel with lots of cake and sandwich options and plenty of place to sit. Minimal queuing time as well.
