Cafe is ok

A multi-functional park and surrounding buildings.
I have been here for festivals, weddings, breakfast, and just to shop at their great gardens. Food is excellent at the local cafe, and there is a lovely park for the kids to play in. Worth a visit.

Went twice - had a cuppa and scones (Tasty!) , then back again in the evening for a Golden Wedding celebration. Could not fault anything about this place - absolutely delightful service, food and location.

There is parking available at the top of the park go through the gates and follow the hard road and park at the top. Parking is free and there is an excellent cafe 50 yds further on and also easy access to the Hoad monument. Park on the car park and walk to the cafe as there is very limited parking at the cafe.
There is also a garden opposite the cafe which is beautiful to walk around. Plants are available to buy.
The cafe (Coach House, Cafe & Bistro) is communiry run and has a very high standard and is not too expensive. Its a lovely spot to sit outside and enjoy the ambiance of the garden which is also used for weddings.

A lovely place to let the kids run free and a lovely cafe to refresh yourselves.

Unfortunately drainage at the playground is an issue, so expect to come back with muddy children.

I went to Ford Park on Sunday just for a stroll and a coffee it's now been taken over by a group from the local community. I wasn't disappointed, it's a lovely space to chill. The Tea shop is lovely with pleasant staff and surroundings, there are seats outside too so nice on a sunny day. The food is good maybe a bit on the pricey side considering it's a charity run by a Community Group. I had a Herb scone with cream cheese and relish delicious! Perhaps it would be better to put the cream cheese and relish in separate bowls rather than the small kilner jars as they were a little difficult to empty. My friend had welsh rarebit and a side of fries which was declared beautiful.
The Garden Centre side of the business was looking good with lots of plants fruit and veg ready for potting in preparation for Easter. If you're up that way and at a loose end do pop in, if you fancy a walk to make way for food you could always walk up to Ulverston Old Man we declined I remember walking up there in my childhood the memory was all I needed to work up my appetite.

The Coach House Cafe is a great asset to Hope Park. Met up with friends for morning coffee. Very reasonably priced, good quality and piping hot. Will return at a later date for lunch.

What a lovely set up. The gardens produce food for the cafe and the grounds are used by the community (short walkways, open field, playground, dog walking area, room hire etc)). All run by volunteers and managed (with some paid staff) by a charity. No longer financed by the Council and with limited grant funding, it has to support itself by volunteer helpers (gardeners, groundwork, repairs,maintenance, various projects) and the cafe. Current drive to get more people to make a small monthly subscription and/or to volunteer. A case of use it or lose it!
