What Pete C likes about Brantwood Cafe:
The festive menu started today and we had delicious festive hot chocolates with slices of tiffin. It was really lovely. The staff were so friendly and welcoming. I would highly recommend this wonderful place. View all feedback. What lakelover908 doesn't like about Brantwood Cafe:
Do not really like the current menu. I am sure some will love it but for me it was all overcomplicated and nothing plain. I chose a bacon and hash brown balm but had to give up after eating half of it. Too many unusual flavours not at all to my liking. We visit regularly but will no longer have lunch..

Super menu, great for families and dietary needs. Great service and atmosphere, will definitely be back. The Christmas events are excellent too!

Tea no Darjeeling on offer. Tea is tea bags not tea leaves. Cake serviceable but not excellent. Scone fruity but rather dry and maybe a bit overcooked. Jam tiny...

The view is tremendous. The lunch was awful unappetising, bland, small portions, and twice the price of other places. Would not recommend at all.

The terrace offers stunning views, especially on a sunny afternoon. The interior is cozy with a log burner and comfortable sofas. The coffee was decent.
