Naturally Hawkshead Cafe

Naturally Hawkshead Cafe sits in the heart of Hawkshead village, serving coffee, cakes and hot meals in a relaxed setting that welcomes dogs inside. You can settle in with your dog at your feet while you enjoy a proper sit-down break without the usual café-door negotiation.

The menu covers light lunches and homemade cakes and there's even doggy popcorn, doggy ice cream and sausages on offer for four-legged visitors. It's part of the Hawkshead outdoor clothing and accessories store, so you can browse kit and fuel up in one stop.

Open daily from 9:30am, the café closes at 5pm Monday to Saturday and 4pm on Sundays. It's a handy central spot for a coffee stop mid-village wander, especially when the weather turns and you'd rather not leave your dog tied outside in the drizzle.
