Our New Garden Room
Overlooking the River Eamont, featuring wallpaper designed by Cumbrian artist Laura Sowerby can be booked exclusively for parties of up to 20 guests.
Dog Friendly
Dogs are welcome in all our spaces but occasionally we may have to restrict the number of large dogs in the Tearoom. If you would prefer not to sit near a dog please do let us know and we will do our best to seat you away from any dogs.
Granny Dowbekins first served Cream Teas by the then Butler and Housekeeper of the Rampsbeck Hotel in 1904. Ever since, Granny Dowbekin’s has welcomed the local community and our many visitors alike.
Now owned by the Dudson family which started their Pooley Bridge journey in 2019 with purchasing the Post Office next door. We soon built ‘The Secret Garden’ behind the Post Office starting our hospitality journey. We are very proud to be the new owners of Granny’s.
We still bake our scones, cakes, quiches and pies fresh every day. We provide wholesome food accompanied by alcohol and soft drinks from our newly installed bar in the tearoom.
With the best views of the ‘New’ Bridge and the river Eamont we believe Granny’s is a very special place to celebrate all occasions.
To make a booking for Afternoon Tea or a large table please call 017684 86453 during opening hours.
