Review Chesters By The River - Ambleside

salamander
Amazing food and beautiful views. We got the jackfruit fries and mac & cheese, and two cakes to take away, the cinnamon cake and the Chelsea bun. Everything avaliable is vegan, which is amazing! (but you should ask for non-dairy milk and cheese options for coffee and pizza). Must visit if you're vegan in the lakes

Had an amazing lunch here - loads of great options on the menu, and opted for the mushroom kebab. The portion size was super generous and it tasted great. Only downside was that a nearby road closure meant getting there was extremely difficult. The single track road that was used for the diversion wasn’t up to the volume of traffic being directed down it, and it took a long time to get in and out of the area. Should be fine on a normal day though and there are a fair number of parking spaces.

Onion Bhaji sandwich was out of this world. Donuts are to die for and the pesto pizza was banging. 11/10 food, highly recommend this place and it's probably my favourite cafe I've been to in the Lake District.

Chesters has been on my cafe bucket list for a while now, and it didnt disapoint! The jackfruit fries were the best thing I've ever eaten. The environmentally friendly/recycle aspects were so nice to see
Jenna LaRiviere
I love this place. We got a pizza and flatbread and they were amazing! Lovely views of the river. The shop is well worth a visit too.

Favourite cafe in the Lake District ever! We even returned to the lakes for this cafe!! The best vegetarian and vegan options of pastries, hot food and treats! Outdoor and indoor seating, lovely staff and a 10/10 must visit after walking!
Tracey Bee
Omg, this is the best cafe in the Lakes! Amazing food and huge portions too. Food is extremely tasty and the cakes and scones are to die for. Indoor and outdoor seating. Great location. You'll not be disappointed
Adam Jowett
A real gem. Vegetarian cafe with amazing choices of breakfast and lunch options. We sat outside overlooking the river with some very friendly sparrows. We'd been before when visiting the Lake District and it was the one place we made sure we went back to. We went for lunch after a lovely walk along the river. The food is great, friendly service.

Sat outside for tea and cake today (marmalade and ginger cake). Always worth a visit, busy but managed to get a table. Thanks.

A cracking bakery, cafe and good quality gift shop. The cakes are just amazing, massive and delicious and perfect with their fresh coffee. We stopped for a welcome break on a long old walk from Elterwater ans glad we did.
Steven Coles
Great place. Have been twice this week. Wood fired pizza oven and great veggie pizza and chips. All food is amazing quality with good depth of flavour and all freshly made.
Irene Micco
Amazing selection of vegan and vegetarian food. Went there 4 times in the week I stayed in the Lake District.
Erin Urban
Popular Cafe and completely worth a short wait in line! The best cinnamon bun, ever! Excellent coffee and plenty of seating. I like that they are environmentally friendly, everything is recyclable. The baked goods are so good!!

For starters, the place is dog-friendly. My kinda place. Friendly staff and the ambience made it just right. The falafels are a must try. As are the scones.

It was our first visit to Chester’s and it didn’t disappoint, I had the poached eggs and my wife had the vegetarian kedgeree, both dishes were delicious. Friendly staff and lovely surroundings made for an excellent meal. I certainly intend to visit again when up this way.
Lin Woodward

We had our first visit to Chester’s yesterday! We loved it! Beautiful shop with lovely items for the home or gifts for loved ones, and amazing food! We tried a curried chickpea and sweet potato pastie....Absolutely delicious � We stumbled across the shop whilst out on a walk, we’ll definitely be back!

Been visiting Chesters by the River for many years and is always a must when we are down in the Lakes. Just had coffee and a scone which were delious!! They were a good size and with the jam and cream, the best we have had!! �
Anthony Noden
Hardly any cakes left and wasps everywhere. The coffee tasted like it had been on too long . I remember the old days of giant lemon meringue there but now tiny portions. All in all not great
Marie Haynes
Truly wonderful food and friendly staff such a treat to visit here! Black currant scones the best!
Victoria Noble
Really lovely food, friendly staff, fantastic venue, just found some of the other customers a bit rude, but the venue can't be held responsible for those
Linda Aston
Whenever we come to the lake district, I always make sure we have at least one trip here, I don't care how far I have to drive. The food is spectacular. We had the four salad sharer, fantastic fresh beautiful food.
Charlie Oates
Awesome tea and cake as always in a beautiful setting! The aubergine biryani salad we got to take away was also super yummy and would thoroughly recommend it!
Chris Babu
