This gets the honour of being the first place in the guide. Melmerby is a village just north of Penrith on the way to Alston, and the Village Bakery is known far and wide. The food is excellent and the ambiance nice if a little too busy at times. All the food is organic and the bread and cakes baked on the premises.

Access: Wheelchair access is pretty good although you would need a hand to get in as they have a glass conservatory at the front which requires both doors to be open.
Parking: One disabled parking spot right at the front of the building otherwise plenty of nearby flat places to park.
Toilets: Good, Very large disabled loo which should suit most needs.
Food: Super menu, organic, very very tasty. Desserts irresistible. Not cheap though. Good selection of teas, coffees and herbals.
Children: No specific children's menu available, but selected items available from the main menu at 2/3 marked price.

The garden is nearly all wheelchair accessible and there are tables set at the front of the building on tarmac. Although the inside is on 2 levels with steps half is wheelchair accessible.

Overall a good location, with easy access. Great food, Well recommended by the family, although small children might get bored if they are not used to sitting around.

I want to try and keep this as a brief guide to some of the best accessible cafes in the north of England. Its not intended to be comprehensive, but if we find somewhere good, we'd like to share it with you. If you have anywhere you like to go then maybe you'd like to share it too.

Somewhere Nice For Tea.
