Location
On Bridge Street, Longtown, (eight miles north of Carlisle) - the A7 scenic route to Edinburgh. You can park easily close by.
Cuisine
British.
Ambiance
The Sycamore Tree is small and traditional in decor. A typical cafe, nothing special, but clean and comfortable.
Food
For a cafe, the food is excellent, with freshly made and generous portions. More restaurant quality than that of a cafe. The home made scones, cakes and desserts are wonderful. Sunday lunch (which is what I had today) consisted of a generous portion of beef (one other meat roast is also available each week) mash and roast potatoes, four different fresh vegetables and a huge, light and fluffy Yorkshire pudding. I wasn't going to have a dessert but saw the chocolate pyramids and succumbed! It consisted of three thin triangles of marbled milk and white chocolate that formed the pyramid which contained a light chocolate mousse and fresh raspberries. Mmmmm, delish!
Service
Friendly and quick service - even though they were very busy.
Price
Low. Our Sunday roast was £6.10 which was fantastic value for what we received. You can also get kids size and larger portions for a small amount less and more.
The cafe is open 9-5 everyday. On Tuesday and Friday nights the cafe is open for Steak Nights costing £12.95 for 2 courses plus a glass of wine. Saturday night is Bistro Night £13.95 for a starter and main, £17.95 with a dessert.
