Brunch, lunch & coffee with the best views in Ambleside - a stones throw from Stock Ghyll Force.

13/08/2026

☀️ A little photo to save for that inevitable early-November moment when the rain is sideways, the jumpers are out and we’re wondering if summer was all just a dream...

Our terrace is the perfect spot to soak up these August rays, take in the view, enjoy one of our dishes and wash it all down with a cold tipple.

Prefer a little less sunshine? We’ve got you covered - literally. There’s a shaded area on the terrace, plus plenty of space inside.

📍Force Walkers Cafe & Terrace, Ambleside

Sunshine + gelato = a pretty solid equation 🌞🍦

We’re proud to be scooping up the deliciousness of Three Hills Gelato, a brilliant local supplier creating artisan gelato right here in Cumbria.

Made with seriously good ingredients and plenty of Italian-inspired gelato magic, it’s the perfect excuse to treat yourself… not that you really need one.

Brunch called. We answered. 📞

In the savoury corner: crispy loaded hash browns piled high with bacon, sausage patty, chilli jam and sriracha mayo. Because apparently, restraint is not on the menu. 🤤

In the sweet corner: pan-fried brioche French toast with pistachio custard, mascarpone, sour cherries and pistachio granola. Basically, dessert pretending to be breakfast. 😉

And, of course, a matcha on the side… because balance is everything, right? 💚

A little chirp to brighten up your Monday scroll… 🐦❤️

Meet our little friend, Mr. Robin, who pops by to say hello to us every single day. He’s certainly become a much-loved part of our daily routine!

Meet our Birria Eggs Benedict – a bold twist on a classic! 🤤

Featuring traditional slow-cooked Mexican birria beef, smoked Applewood, a homemade rosti potato, fresh spinach, perfectly poached free-range eggs, crisp shoots and finished with a smoky chipotle hollandaise 🌶️✨

Not a meat lover? No problem – we've got a delicious vegetarian alternative too.

Perfect for a Sunday, open from 9am...
