Grain Ambleside

Grain in Ambleside is a fresh new café and grab-and-go food stop from the team behind the Michelin-starred Forest Side in Grasmere. Open daily from 8am to 5pm, Grain offers restaurant-quality food made to fuel your Lake District adventures – from hearty breakfast rolls and wholesome salads to focaccia sandwiches, smoothies, and artisanal coffee.

Chef Paul Leonard has crafted a menu that proves great flavour doesn’t need to be sacrificed for convenience. Every dish is made fresh each morning with locally sourced, high-quality ingredients, including heritage grain focaccia from Lovingly Artisan Bakery and a bespoke coffee blend roasted by Lonton Coffee Company.

Whether you’re heading out on the fells, grabbing a quick bite in town, or treating yourself to a pastry and coffee, Grain delivers the quality, sustainability, and taste you’d expect from one of Cumbria’s most respected hospitality teams. Dog-friendly and designed with the spirit of the Lakes in mind, it’s a new Ambleside favourite for locals and visitors alike.
