The Great Escape - Speisekarte

Visited here with family from the area and we were amazed! Was such a lovely Sunday lunch! 3 courses and I enjoyed every single bit of it! Prices are good for what you get... good quality and so tasty!

Called here for a latish breakfast etc .We had full breakfast, chicken salad with jacket potato ,Americano and flat white,. Service attentive and friendly. Great location. the food visually appealing and tasted great, 1st class food here especially the breakfast. Flat white so good too

Called in on the way home from the lakes, fancied a breakfast, ordered a full english, ring sausage, beans, hash brown, mushrooms, egg, bacon, tomato and toast, I enjoyed my breakfast, only negative was the mushrooms were anemic and chopped up like I was 6 years old, but, apart from that, a good little breakfast.

This was our first visit here, despite living only 12 miles away. but wont be our last. Called in on the way back from shopping at Carlisle, only had a cuppa, and a cheese scone. They do have a large menu, mainly light bites, but also do a small range of meals. Friendly service, nice inside, will definately be back.

I go as often as I can. The recent bad weather and my disability has prevented me going recently. The food is excellent, all freshly cooked and home baked. The staff are friendly and helpful. It is spotlessly clean in all aspects. Wine, beer and soft drinks are available. I am looking forward to making my regular visits soon.

While in the area popped in for a coffee and ended up with “Soup of the day which you could have a scone instead of a roll”. The soup was one of the best I’ve had and cheese scone was brilliant. Would highly recommend as all aspects of this establishment was brilliant cleanliness, brilliant friendly staff and prices very reasonable.

I visited the garden centre, not realising there was a cafe onsite. After looking around the garden centre we decided to pop into the cafe for a cup of tea. However, once inside we decided to have tea and cake, and we were not disappointed. The cake and scones were first rate. In addition, the staff were pleasant and helpful. We will definitely go back and try one of their meals, which looked really nice.

We came to The Great Escape at Moota for lunch. It was a nice day so we decided to sit outside. I ordered a sandwich and we both ordered a milkshake. We were surprised at the milkshakes when they arrived as one was dark pink and the other was pale pink, even though they were supposed to be the same. It wasn’t until we’d drank most of them we realised that one was dark pink because the bottle it came in was pink also! The sandwich was tasty and the prices were reasonable. There was a small gift section in the café but I think they might be doing away with this as everything was heavily discounted.

The Great Escape cafe is part of a popular garden centre built on the site of the old Moota Motel on the A595 between Carlisle and Cockermouth, I decided to stop here for some refreshments on the way back from the North East and was quite impressed. I know 5.80 for a coffee and cake isn't particularly cheap, but the quality was good and the Mars Bar cake was very filling and tasted of Mars Bar. Also the meals and specials looked good and the cafe was filling up by lunchtime, a sign this place has a good reputation. Next time I will try one of their specials, which are quite reasonably priced at 9.75. One note of caution, the cafe is next to a fast road and you need to take care pulling out a...
