Scandi in style, this cafe is great for waffles (great tip, after 3pm, half price waffles midweek - check first though in case they have stopped doing it), cakes, coffee and scandi style lunches. A fab atmosphere. They now have a bakery too, Bakeri Baltzersen!

LOCATED NEAR BOLTON ABBEY: This is a wonderful place to visit with the kids, it has an area for kids to play (one is free), the others areas charge a nominal fee (£2 on last visit) and you'll be given a wristband. There's a fabulous diner complete with an American high school yellow bus. The kids love it but try and book online as gets super busy, especially in the holidays and on weekends.
