Carnegie - Allerdale

Visited to have afternoon tea. Better half had a “Tractor shed” tea which was savoury and a bottle of fine Tractor Shed ale. The sweet afternoon tea was delicious. We took the leftovers home because the food was so nice. Definitely worth booking.

Ate here a week ago and had a nice mixed leaf salad returned today. OMG ordered mixed leaf ham salad with a side Caeser Sauce. My wife ordered a Prawn Mixed leaf salad with a side chilli sauce. We had a Pot of Tea. It arrived withina few minutes. This was not mixed leaf this was a lettuce cut into strips, both plates), the prawns were very small, hard, and whoever had prepared it had just tipped the side of Chilli sauce over the whole pate and it was swimming in it. The ham salad, see photo) at least the Caeser sauce was in a small pot, but the salad was just lettuce cut up. There was some ham, which was ok, once I had removed the fat. The tea cup, was hacky, and didnt realise this until I had taken a drink. Very dissapointed.

Went into for a coffee and cake which was excellent. Other people were eating meals which looked appetising. Had my dog with me and he was pampered all visit by staff who clearly love paws. He enjoyed a sausage and was even given treats on the way out ! Great laid back vibe and atmosphere and very friendly staff who were happy to advise on the best places to visit in Cumbria. My advice is to visit this place, you will not be disappointed with the service or the quality of food

Lovely food and the cafe has had an upgrade inside. Nice atmosphere and friendly staff. Better half had a burger and really enjoyed it. Beautiful cakes. Reasonable prices and a charming cafe that we’ll be visiting again.

The weary traveller was in need of sustenance and a ‘can do’ attitude. We found that in this most unexpected of venues in Workington. Lovely quirky setting, clean arty and spacious with hospitality and customer service in abundance. The world needs more Georginas who seeing me wilt at the words ‘we are just closing’ flipped the switch back up on coffee machine and we were back in business. It means a lot in these times to experience pure human kindness and great service.
