Thank you for the wonderful experience.
I've visited the store downstairs several times for hot food and drinks to take away, but today was my first visit to the Coffee Lounge upstairs, which is open 7 days a week.
We hadn't booked in advance, but we're seated within minutes. There were options of tables and chairs, booths, benches with barstools, and coffee tables with sofas, our option. Once seated, you order and pay at the till with your food and drinks being brought to your table.
There's a good choice on the menu with time limits on breakfasts. I opted for the Cheese Scone, Chocolate Orange Muffin, and Blood Orange Tea. Not disappoint at all. Superb value for money, good atmosphere, wonderful and helpful staff. I was impressed with the meals I watched being served, so I will definitely be going back at some point.
Lovely views from upstairs, too. I suspect there are some stunning winter sunrises to be viewed from here.
The facilities were very good and clean. The Coffee Lounge is accessible with a lift and a good-sized disabled toilet. I observed wheelchair users in the Coffee Lounge during my visit. There were children's highchairs available and baby changing facilities.
We walked today, but Pioneer have their own free car park for customers.
A place for everyone to visit and enjoy.
I've been for a second visit to thaw out after a walk in freezing weather, fabulous experience, food and drink.
We were spending the night on the outskirts of Carlisle and had a meeting at the Rosehill industrial estate next morning and we came across this utterly gorgeous coffee lounge when looking for somewhere to have a breakfast.
We were not looking for anything special so you can only imagine put surprise at discovering this wonderful coffee lounge. There was a queue when we arrived and I remember a guest walking out of the lounge whilst exclaiming, "It is absolutely rammed in there" which just added to our excitement.
When we got a table 10mins later, it was extremely busy but all the staff were smiling, serving each guest with courtesy. The hospitality and warmth could be felt as we exchanged pleasantries and placed our orders.
We ordered 2 mini breakfasts and a plate of pancakes to share. The coffee was smooth and the food was local, fresh and absolutely delicious.
There is a beautiful store on the ground floor offering some of the best of local and national produce. Just check the photos to give you an idea of the scale and offerings in place.
Fantastic experience and really looking forward to the next trip to Cumbria.
