45 Teashops & Eating places within 2.6 miles of Settle

Fancy a cup of coffee? You're in luck at Settle. A choice of over 40 Places!!.
I first wrote this post Seven and a quarter years ago in May 2017 - and (its now August 2024) the selection of eating places only gets better!  

(See end of post for five cafes now in  RIP section - they still deserve to be remembered!)

 I keep adding new comments to the top of this post... Maybe you should read the post from the bottom up. Or see Index/Contents list exactly half way down. 

One benefit of Covid was that many cafes had out door tables either on the pavement in front or in their gardens at the back.

New July/Aug 2024: Fuelling the Bold: - Under the Town Hall. This coffee speciality shop set up in July 2024. Suzy Carrington and her husband Alex set up a coffee roasterie a few (two) years ago using coffee from a farm in Columbia and sell coffee from it in Carnforth (?) and Hest Bank, and now in Settle. The day I visited a lady called Helen was working there. 
They have a Facebook page here: https://www.facebook.com/carringtonscoffee
and (free) coffee tasting sessions e.g at Settle on Sun 15 Sept at 9am.

 

 

 






New Spring 2023: Settle Swimming Pool Cafe:  Open seven days a week but check opening times as rather variable and sometimes closed mid afternoon.


March 2022:  Limestone View Cafe is open all week incl Sundays -I went for Sunday Lunch on 13 March - Lunch - you can have a small or large portion. Delicious.

New Jan 2022:-
Settle Methodist Church has changed their coffee mornings from Tue to Wednesdays (10.30-12.00). First Wed of a month is in aid of a charity. First Wed in March 2022- for guide Dogs for the Blind: 

Pics below from Rainforest Fund Coffee Morning in Dec 2021





The Anglican Church still runs coffee mornings on a Tuesday and sells soup and baked potatoes and toasted sandwiches at lunchtime till 1.15pm.  

Miss Victoria's Refreshment Garden looks as if its open again after winter.

Limestone View Cafe has reopened and is open 9 till 3pm (though sometimes closes a little bit earlier if there is no-one there

Jan 2022 
A visit to the Craven Arms, next to Giggleswick Station: Ham and Eggs - and in foreground - veggie burger.


New Aug 2021 (well 29 July I think), the main Coop on the market place has started selling hot coffee from a coffee machine.
 But I realise that Booths stopped their coffee machine a while ago, so they cancel each other out.

NEW - early summer 2021: Busy Bee  and (new for me ) Rathmell Old School alternate Sunday Lunches (incl take away).. which I realise fall within the 2.6mile radius,


I wrote an update in July 2020  (see lower down) and now here I am a year later in July 2021: 

Just a paragraph of where Covid is now: Covid, which started affecting us seriously in March 2020 is still here. People started going to Skipton for vaccinations in Feb 2021 then to Lancaster and other places and since May in Settle. This week people came to Settle St John's and were turned away - one person because she had only had a 3 week 6 day period since here first jab, and the government had in the last few days said that an8 week gap is required between vaccinations not just 4 weeks. The second was a very tall 17 year old going off to work tomorrow - but not allowed to have it because the rule is you have to be 18.

July 2021 Update

Two new places closed down in 2020:
Boxer and Hound in spring closed and has been replaced by Busy Bee.  (Opposite the Talbot and Opposite the Folly)

On Saturday 10 July 2020 Sugar and Spice held its final day (on the corner of Station Road). Settle Action for Climate Emergency held its meeting there in person rather than by Zoom, to say good bye to Sacha and wish her well.

On Sunday I went to Rathmell to the Rathmell Old School Community Centre - for a wonderful friendly lunch. these happen fortnightly made by volunteers to raise money for the centre. from 12 to 2pm. so the next ones will be 25 July 8, 22 Aug.
This is 2.6 miles as the crow flies from Settle Market Place.

Even though I arrived at 1.45 there was still hot beef rolls and chips available and a mouth watering choice of deserts. I chose carrot cake because it came in a little box that would be easy as a take away.

Sitting outside on one of the benches (there was a choice of indoor or outdoor places) I met Linda .. who reminded me how she had provided pavlovas for the Anglican Diocese Eco Event at Tosside Community Centre in 2008.

So far As I know the other coffee shops, restaurants etc are either running or planning to open again in August (Langcliffe Teas) or September (Settle Methodist Church Coffee Morning.

Settle Flower Pot Festival is running again this summer.. - so do come and visit Settle July - August




July 2020 update:
A few of the places below are still shutdown due to the Covid Lockdown (e.g. Church Coffee Mornings). It is now Aug 2020. 

 Meanwhile news of THREE NEW PLACES opened in 2020- specifically in July 2020 and August:

1. Miss Victoria's Refreshment Garden: 
3: Settle Cheese and Charchuterie Shop - with take away tea and benches outside
1. Miss Victoria's Refreshment Garden: 
Adjacent to Victoria Hall (which now has a delectable display of useful and vintage donated goods for sale to support the hall) - on Kirkgate, opposite Ashfield CarPark
Open most days (but I wonder if it will be slightly weather dependent) 








2: Aory's Thai Take Away and Resturant
The facebook page says:  We are opening on the 15th of July, from 5 till 9, then every Thursday Friday, Saturday and Sunday, 5 till 9. We are operating a booking system, you can book a time slot and date up to 2 weeks in advance, once you have booked your slot, you can place your order preferably the day before, thanks.

The new Thai Restaurant is on the north side of the Market Place (above Practically Everything next to the Coop). I went to have a look. On the way found a yellow composite I am not used to seeing round Settle - though it is common nationally. It was growing both below and just above the restaurant. When I have found it in other places (generally in dry, mown road verges) it has been much smaller -
Here is a fine specimen with a fine view of Settle Market Place
