The weather turned on us at Wasdale Water so we headed to The Sawmill to enjoy a dry break.
So many others had the same idea as this is a lovely cafe.
Well laid out with indoor, undercover and outdoor tables.
The Mill waterwheel was working so that was a bit of a talking point as was the glass panels in the floor over the stream.
I had a lovely ham sandwich with salad and crisps. Very tasty, good bread, lovely ham and a generous portion.
The staff were nice and friendly
An easy 5 stars
Had a fantastic breakfast at The Sawmill Cafe. Sat out on the benches near to the stream and it was absolutely amazing. The staff were very helpful and brought everything outside to us down some tricky steps, so we’ll done to them. The food was quality all the way and a decent portion size. It is definitely a great place to stop off to refresh, refuel and reinvigorate the body and soul. Highly recommend everyone to go here and find out for themselves.
100%recomended
The food was really nice, with a delicious salad.
Would go back for sure.
Nice outside tables by the river.
Gorgeous unique cafe next to the river , super clean, friendly staff , quick to serve, table service, homemade food was exceptionally good. This right here is a gem.
Excellent quality food lovely walks to the lake and boat house have your walk then visit the saw mill for food
I think this must be the finest cafe in all the land. Lovely food and drinks. Amazing setting. The building's architecture is tremendous. Great things of local interest in the shop. 👍

On a long bicycle trip on 8 Oct, felt low on energy and was very glad to stumble on this place. Amazing coffee and other goodies to keep me going. Clean toilets. Bike racks to lock your bike to. Friendly staff. The cafe inside looked lovely. Will be back with the family.
Lovely Cafe a short drive from the Wasdale Head car park for Scafell Pike.
Varied manu, with good vegetarian and vegan options.
Had lunch at the Sawmill - what a wonderful place. Gorgeous food, incredibly friendly staff and good service. Lovely relaxed atmosphere, and after lunch at the table we could sit on the sofas with a pot of tea. Happy days. Loved it and will be back soon. Oh, and on warmer days lovely veranda by the river.... Lovely gift shop stocking my faves (Pure Lakes) which was a bonus. Great for gifts and Christmas shopping.
A lovely place to go for lunch! My friend and l's first ever visit there! We were pleasantly surprised at the size of the place and hope to return in warmer weather so that we can sit outside by the river!
The staff were polite,warm and friendly, the food was delicious and generous portions!! I would definitely recommend a visit to anyone in the area!
