The Lemon Tree Cafe Bistro

I visit The Lemon Tree Bistro regularly. The food is fantastic and the service is top-notch. I especially love their steaks with fresh vegetables.

Came across this place unexpectedly. Although dogs are not allowed inside, there is seating outside which is in an arcade and under cover. The food was delicious and the service 5 star. Thank you.

Excellent breakfast at a halfway point on a trip to Scotland, well worth the 10 minute diversion from the motorway. Cafe was surprisingly quiet for such a good breakfast, plenty of regulars were chatty with the owner. Visualizza piatti

Chef Henry and his wife Helen own the business. Food has always been excellent. Quality, presentation and value are excellent. Today I had Henry's own Steak Pie (no kidney) and home made Lemon Cheesecake (to die for) with a pot of tea.

We love going to this cafe in Penrith for lunch. Our favorite dishes are the homemade steak pie with vegetables and potato chips, as well as the vegetarian quiche with salad and potato chips. The staff always make us feel welcome and we always enjoy our meals. Thank you!

Stopped off here for lunch on way home to Scotland, having good memories of this cafe from a visit several years ago. We were glad to find that it was still open and serving a wide variety of meal and snack options including lots of gluten free choices which pleased my husband who has coeliac disease. Fresh home-made food at excellent prices, and licensed too! Visualizza piatti

During our annual visit to Keswick we decided to give Penrith another try. Clearly there had been changes in the town and we had to ask about somewhere to eat. Locals recommended The Lemon Tree and they proved to be correct. The service was good and the meals well prepared mine being vegetarian. We shared a large sweet and had T for two. We enjoyed our visit, and if we return to Penrith in the future, we will visit The Lemon Tree again.

On the first Tuesday in November, my trip to Keswick was delayed by an unexpected change in the bus timetable (new departure time 9am, previously 9.15am). With an hour to spare, I went into town for a coffee and ended up at The Lemon Tree. I opted for the reasonably priced smaller breakfast which included 3 thick bacon rashers, a large fried egg, a meaty sausage, a large tomato, and delicious tomato sauce. It was absolutely fantastic! I thoroughly enjoyed it and will definitely be returning for breakfast in the future.

After searching for a place for lunch with gluten and dairy free options, we found the Lemon Tree as a place to go on our first trip to Penrith. We met up with a friend for coffee/tea there, and decided to go back for lunch. The staff were very friendly, helpful and knowledgeable on their allergens, even pointing out that the tartare sauce had cream in after it was ordered. Two of us had the steak, vegetables and fried potatoes, and one had the sea-bass, vegetables and boiled potatoes, all off the specials menus for the day. It was nice to have a choice of mains for the gluten and dairy free, and the food was all freshly cooked and hot. The gluten and dairy free orange and almond cake was ho... Visualizza piatti
