The Tiny Tearooms

Lakes College’s new coffee shop opened situated at the Distington Walled Garden, opened its doors in late April to queues of eager customers. More than 40 people attending the open day, all keen to taste the home-made treats prepared by Lakes College Foundation Diploma students.

Staff and students all received very positive feedback from the visitors who enjoyed a relaxing, homely environment and were particularly impressed that everything was home-made – right down to the butter!

The tearoom is open on Thursdays during term time, more information can be found here: Tiny Tea Room details.pdf
