A lovely cafe run by lovely people they made us feel very welcome, the young waitress is very attentive and cheerful and the breakfast we had was delicious well cooked and good portion size. I loved the pot of tea! It was made with real tea, such a change from dust filled tea bags. I will definitely come her again. First class all round.

On a recent trip to Lancaster we found this delightful cafe on Bashful yard just off the main shopping centre.
We enjoyed three visits during our stay.
the breakfasts were cooked quickly to our liking and served by friendly welcoming staff.

Very nice food reasonably priced, and, one of the the best coffees I ever had in England.

The staff were attentive and very friendly, and the service was quick. The scones were freshly baked and delicious. There?s outdoor seating available, which adds to the charm. I?d definitely recommend it for breakfast.

Just had a fantastic breakfast here. Had the vegetarian breakfast - generous portion and everything cooked well. Very reasonable price. Staff friendly and helpful. Tucked away inside a nice little alley too. Would come back!

It was ok but nothing special. Breakfast..decent portion and good bacon but mediocre sausage, tasteless mushrooms, poss frozen hash brown and white bread toast, ugh. Eggs, beans as expected. Toasted roll a bit burnt underneath and not enough topping. Slaw unappetising. Service, friendly, fast and good. Decor, weird?Christmas fairy lights and tinsel still up in July?all a bit mismatched, no atmosphere and pretty soulless tbh.

The personnel here are beautiful, the service was excellent, quick and efficient, and the meal was delicious. I can only presume our waiter to e the owner who was at our beck and call and provided 5 star service. My wife was likewise quite happy. Overall, a fantastic breakfast prepared by people who care about their customers!???????????????????????????? £12.95 for everything, including the tasty sausage which at the time of the picture was already in my stomach. We will definitely be returning!
Thank you again, G&J

A Hidden Gem in Lancaster ? The Old Bell is Simply Outstanding! ???
I've been coming to The Old Bell in Lancaster for years and it?s safe to say ? it never disappoints! This family-run café is a true hidden gem, offering a warm, welcoming atmosphere and some of the friendliest service we?ve ever experienced.
The food is homecooked and delicious, with every dish bursting with flavour and care. The cakes? Absolutely divine ? the kind that make you pause mid-bite just to savour the moment. And if you're a fan of iced coffee, their pints of it are perfect, especially after a long run.
Whether you're popping in solo, catching up with a friend, or out with a group, The Old Bell is the kind of place that makes everyone feel at home. It?s cosy, charming, and full of heart ? a place we?ll keep coming back to again and again.
Thank you to the wonderful team for creating such a special spot in Lancaster.

Returned once again on our travels. The Old Bell Breakfast again is very tasty and not swimming in oil like some breakfasts. Very well run family business. We always try and support when we are up. Thank you all
