"I had absolutely no idea this was called The Great Escape or I'd have reviewed it several times before now!We called in on our way home from a walk around Buttermere because everywhere was packed there, and we weren't particularly hungry while we were there anyway and I assured my other half that Moota (or The Great Escape apparently) was always good.So, imagine my horror when we arrived and there was no menus on the tables.....bit odd I thought, so off I went to ask for one, only to find out that they were only doing the Sunday lunch menu that day! We weren't hungry enough for a full on roast dinner, plus we had plans for food later in the day, so coffee and a snack it was. He had a toasted hot x bun with jam and a pot of tea, I had a cheese scone and latte. The latte wasn't very hot, but I can live with that. The cheese scone was the best one I've ever had when out. I've always found that it's hard to come across a good one, and previously the cafe at Wordsworth House Garden in Cockermouth was top of the list by miles, but this one has knocked them down to (a close) 2nd place. I'll definitely be back for more.....and regret not getting a couple to take home with us."

We go here when we are at our holiday home, been countless times and never disappointed. We have breakfasts, lunches, cream teas and all are amazing. The staff are brilliant, and the place is immaculately clean.

This was our first visit here, despite living only 12 miles away. but wont be our last. Called in on the way back from shopping at Carlisle, only had a cuppa, and a cheese scone. They do have a large menu, mainly light bites, but also do a small range of meals. Friendly service, nice inside, will definately be back.

My husband and I stopped here on our way to Cockermouth for a quick lunch. I had the quiche which was homemade and delicious it was served with a lovely salad and homemade coleslaw, my husband had the Cumberland sausage bap which was huge and he said was really nice. The staff were friendly and the service was quick and we would definitely eat here again. Visualizza piatti

We came to The Great Escape at Moota for lunch. It was a nice day so we decided to sit outside. I ordered a sandwich and we both ordered a milkshake. We were surprised at the milkshakes when they arrived as one was dark pink and the other was pale pink, even though they were supposed to be the same. It wasn’t until we’d drank most of them we realised that one was dark pink because the bottle it came in was pink also! The sandwich was tasty and the prices were reasonable. There was a small gift section in the café but I think they might be doing away with this as everything was heavily discounted.

Called in as our preferred option was closed. We both went for the 'special ' soup and sandwich option which was highlighted on the board and as the soup was showing as being served with freshly baked bread we assumed the sandwich would be of similar standard but alas no, two slices of run of the mill sliced bread was the order of the day and bland filling, nothing special except the price which was heavy to say the least at almost £22 for 2 x soup and sandwich and 2 teas both average and only one tea bag each then unimpressed to say the least! Better places to eat in the area and in this case you don 't always get what you pay for.

Been to Great Escape before and found the food to be lovely. However on recent visit I was very disappointed with the special I ordered. The chicken curry I ordered was presented on a plate mixed with the rice and two pieces of tomato and a dried up piece of cucumber. Looking around the other tables the curry was presented separately in a bowl with a lovely mixed lettuce salad. Also the curry I had was sadly lacking in chicken. For £8.25 this did not represent good value. Why the standard of presentation varied so much I can not answer. I can only assume what I received were the last remaining remnants of the curry. Don't think I'll be going back again. Visualizza piatti

The Great Escape cafe is part of a popular garden centre built on the site of the old Moota Motel on the A595 between Carlisle and Cockermouth, I decided to stop here for some refreshments on the way back from the North East and was quite impressed. I know 5.80 for a coffee and cake isn't particularly cheap, but the quality was good and the Mars Bar cake was very filling and tasted of Mars Bar. Also the meals and specials looked good and the cafe was filling up by lunchtime, a sign this place has a good reputation. Next time I will try one of their specials, which are quite reasonably priced at 9.75. One note of caution, the cafe is next to a fast road and you need to take care pulling out a...

I still go for lunch on a regular basis. I am warmly welcomed. I have never found any fault with the food. It is always well cooked and piping hot. The Bakery section is excellent. Food can be pre-ordered to take away. Gluten free is available.Disability Parking is now available near the entrance to the restaurant and a sign is in place indicating this. Other parking is plentiful.The Disability Toilet and Baby Changing are also excellent and Breast Feeding is welcomed.The shop has a supply of milk and eggs and there is a wide variety of fancy goods, handbags, scarves, jewellery, cards and toys.Weather permitting there is outside seating and dogs are welcome there. Staff are pleasant and help...
