Cafe Culture in Craven

Called here on way to Lakes on back of positive tripadviser reviews. Nice comfortable cafe in middle of town. Service was a little slow but there problems with the water supply. Food was excellent ( omelette, garlic mushrooms ) and hot drinks as well. A very pleasant stopover.

Been coming to the Cafe for a few years now. Whenever I'm in the area I make a point to call in. Weather it be for a perfectly made coffee (And I'm quite a coffee snob) or for breakfast / lunch, its ALWAYS perfect! I think I've tried everything on the menu over the years and I couldn't fault anything. Service is always great, both front of house and the Chef are always super helpful and cheerful. Lovely cosy cafe with a real family vibe.. nice to come across these days When offering homemade Pizza, Lasagne, Burgers, Soup, Pies ,Pasties, cakes & All Day beautiful breakfasts what more could you ask for ?! Big portions, Low prices. Always leave full and happy. Would definitely recommend to anyone and everyone Thanks again! Oh and they play the best music!

Poor value for money and rude service. I Have been here a few times for coffee which is good but sampled the food this time. I was hungry so chose an omelette. When it arrived, I was shocked at how small it was: about 20cm max across, less than a third of a dinner plate coverage. Not the nice sized folded over half plate that I was expecting. The bare plate was made up with a dollop of coleslaw and a bit of salad. I thought best to comment and the proprietor was very defensive and said it was a standard 2 egg omelette. Since when have omelettes been limited to 2 eggs? He then barked that he'd never had a complaint about his omelettes in 5 years! I was hoping for some kind of ' I'm sorry sir, is there anything i can do? I considered not paying for it and said that ' I'd leave as an unsatisfactory customer. He didn't seem that bothered. Either that or had poor interpersonal skills. Its a shame that service providers can't take criticism and act to facilitate a happy outcome. I ate it in 2 mins, left dissatisfied and still hungry, left the cash on the counter and went. I chose not to engage in further dialogue as it seemed pointless and he seemed agitated rather than apologetic.

Food was good but the service was awfully slow to say all we ordered was cheese on bread and garlic mushrooms.

Called there with a few other cyclists. Man serving was by himself so doing everything, despite that couldn't have been more helpful. Food was great as are the prices. Will be coming back.

We popped in for a quick bite today and had a lovely snack ( cheese and onion pasty and chips and a prawn salad). Efficient friendly service and accepts dogs. Somewhere to watch the world go by and listen to the locals.

We had a lovely lunch here! The coffees were great my beef baguette brill dad’s lasagne spot on spinach and feta excellent we were greatly impressed by the variety and quality of the food service was great too. Thanks guys.

Whether you're after a full meal, a sandwich, bowl of soup, or coffee and a cake, it's all here, and is all delicious. Everything is freshly made, including the bread and the cakes. Also, the staff know how to handle a coffee machine. Cafe Culture is regular haunt of mine, and is popular with locals and visitors alike.

Stopped in for a snack and refreshments. Food and drinks were very nice. It is nothing special in terms of set up, but the food was good. Service was ok as well. Been here before and will go again!

This is my local coffee shop and café and I visit several times a week. The owner, Greg, works very hard to make his own delicious cakes, bread, desserts, breakfasts and lunches. There is a friendly and relaxed atmosphere and dogs are welcome.

Lovely food .very clean .lovely friendly girl.helped with wifi.sandwiches.salad crisps.tea.Would come again

Three of us went for lunch over an informal business meeting. Friendly atmosphere, not ideal for a business meeting if they're busy, but fine for us. The food was excellent - tasty, homemade & fresh and all at very modest prices. Well worth a visit - can't fault anything.

We stopped for a coffee and stayed for lunch. Freshly made food, good service and nice atmosphere. Also dog friendly.

Stopped a couple of times in Bentham and found this cafe to be really good quality and well priced. When I asked for a croissant, even though there weren't any instantly available one was got for me - delicious! But I have to really recommend the bacon baguettes - cooked perfectly and very moreish!!

Today I had a bowl of homemade tomato & basil soup, it was delicious. There were some lovely dishes coming out of the very small kitchen, the pizza looked scrumptious. It is nice to see food being freshly cooked and no ping ping of the microwave!

Llamado para un sándwich con mate trabajo hoy, no sólo de la zona y café que pudimos encontrar. Pedimos dos bocadillos y dijeron 25 minutos, no hay problema nos hubiera un paseo alrededor y llamar, todavía esperar un poco y caro para un sándwich para llevar. En la justicia fue un buen sándwich, pero no creo que pagaría el mismo de nuevo. Si tienes tiempo quizás vale la pena intentarlo.

Sólo puede imaginar mi compañeros celíacos deleitando presentó un plato repleto de alternativas glutenfree foods on request a la inglés completo. En ausencia de novia pan el chef tenía cuidadosamente producido un plato de patatas fritas! Impresionante - ninguno de los típicos donde el plato vacío medio que contengan ingredientes sin gluten son simples a la izquierda!

Un espacio maravilloso, relajante y acogedor, con precios muy asequibles. Bastante barato para poder frecuentar el lugar sobre una base regular, en vez de como un ocasional delicia.

Un sitio encantador y amable para tomar una taza de té con amigos. El personal era eficiente, el lugar era acogedor pero no apretadas y la comida y la bebida era buena.

Lovely atmosphere with a mix of locals & occasional visitors. 2 smallish rooms simply furnished & perhaps due for a refit but certainly clean and with local magazines to read. We had excellent coffee and sandwiches with bread freshly made on the premises. Service a little slow due to food being freshly prepared. Cakes looked delicious but for another time ! Good menu choices for lunch or just a snack. Friendly staff. If on A683 or A65 heading for the honeypot of Kirkby Lonsdale, why not divert to High Bentham & try Cafe Culture ?

Popped on on our way from lands end to john o groats. We were hungry. Good coffee, a prior pie with a top and bottom. Great home cooked fayre and fresh soups. Met the chef who humbly admitted that he had made it all. Including fabulous ginger and honey ice and peanut butter ice creams. Plus the best custard tart I had ever eaten. Top marks. Pop in if you're passing.

Tasty soup. Chef happy to chat about his offerings. Simple furnishings and table settings. Recommend.

Stopped in for a bit of lunch. This place does not look much from the outside but we had a nice meal and great service once we were inside. Had an omelette and my wife the soup. Both tasted good and were warm and fresh.Service was great and the staff pleasant. Although there is not much choice in Bentham this place is a nice place for a lunch. Would I go again? Yes.

We had a half hour wait for our meal even though they were not busy. The food was nice when it came but it did mean that we have already drunk our tea and other drinks well before it came.On the plus side the food was all nice and freshly cooked and very tasty. I had steak and ale pie which was lovely.It was a nicely presented little cafe and not at all "greasy spoon"

The food was late.The first time we just thought they were having a bad day so we went back,The next time, there were four adults and four children and by the time we had all be served we had been there for over an hour by which time the children were fit to be tied!!

Easily the best place to have lunch in Bentham. Friendly atmosphere, free wifi and great homemade food for good prices.

Steak baguettes are fabulous, loads of meat, no gristle, cooked with fried onions, and slightly peppery in flavour. Perfect every time. Served with delish coleslaw and salad. Well worth the money. Thank you Greg!

Dog & muddy boot friendly cafe, lovely coffee and superb gluten free carrot cake! Usually a good selection of cakes and a nice menu with home cooked food & daily specials.

Visiting Bentham Show we (4) needed a light lunch and we were directed to Cafe Culture. Home cooking at its very best. The Leek and Potato soup was proper soup with fresh baked granary rolls. Only had room then for a slice of Lemon Tart that was to die for! Also excellent coffee and tea. We sat out the back, where the food is prepared, and chatted to other customers and the chef/patron. We will make a point of visiting again when next in the area.

Ordered our food (nothing fancy) and had to wait over 45 minutes for it to arrive! (Even though the place wasn't busy) The mushroom gratin wasn't very good at all. The sauce it was in was liquid (like a glass of water)so did not adhere to the mushrooms.(Making for a very watery meal) Coffee was brought to the table far too early.Had to be drunk well before the meal arrived (otherwise it would have been cold) No atmosphere,so made for a very boring wait for a rather poor meal. Would not visit again!!

We visited on a Saturday afternoon and waited for ages to give our order. Only 1 member of staff working who was taking the orders and cooking. Food was only Ok!, and to be fair it didn't live up to the previous reviews.

This place is great. Excellent choice of food and even licensed, which is always great. Very friendly place with great staff.

Called in just as Cafe Culture was closing. The owner stayed open specially for us without any fuss. Friendly and obliging. Excellent cup of tea and homemade cakes were excellent. Would definitely recommend.

Mmmmmmm soup and sandwich and home made cakes.Again another nice cafe we visited last year and will be returning.I think we fell in love with this village.Such traditional old fashioned shops and eateries.Thank you for our lunch.

Went for lunch with my friend maxine from pigtails in bentham we both had soup and a sandwich very nice and was filling.we also had a cake and homemade shortbread which were also very nice.if u r passing through bentham pop in ur made welcome and service quick thankyou diane lister and maxine

I visit this cafe several times a week for coffee etc but have also attended the special Bistro night and Sunday lunches. Wonderful choice of homecooked food on these menus and probably the best roast pork dinner I have ever had! Pleasant relaxed atmosphere and open (very small!) kitchen. Excellent helpful service.

First time visit for Sunday lunch and we weren't disappointed.There was a decent selection of 5 starters, 5 mains and 4 puddings and very good value as well, £3.50 for a starter or pudding and the mains were £8 so £15,in total if you went for the full 3 courses.I had delicious sticky chicken pieces in chilli, garlic, ginger, honey and lime and wife's celery and Stilton soup was equally good (particularly with the nice homemade bread that accompanied it).I had great roast pork for main (see photo) and it came with carrots, parsnip mash, wonderfully tasty cabbage and Brussels sprout souffle (very unusual but very good). Wife and daughter both had roast beef which was equally good.Creamy rice pudding with caramel sauce was a good finish to a great lunch.Service was friendly and we will definitely be returning for Sunday lunch again.

Visited Cafe Culture for lunch today. Enjoyed lovely lunch, request for healthy salad option was no problem. Home made quiche was the best! Would highly recommend Cafe Culture. A wonderful place to enjoy time with friends and food. Lovely cinder toffee too!
