In these days of fast food it is often difficult to find a truly traditional Coffee Shop and Restaurant. One which prides itself on the old values - beautiful surroundings, lovely ambience, friendly staff and above all quality home made food prepared from fresh locally grown produce. Brief Encounter has those values and much more.

Set in a beautiful converted old railway station on the famous Settle to Carlisle line at Langwathby in Cumbria, Brief Encounter is worth a visit. We guarantee if you come once you will want to come back.

Open seven Days March to October
9am to 5pm
November & December 
10am to 4pm (Closed Mondays)

We welcome disabled customers and our restaurant is fully accessible and has disabled toilet facilities. 

The restaurant is in the village of Langwathby on the A696 running between Penrith, Alston and Hexham. Claimed to be one of the ten most scenic roads in the World. Langwathby is 5 miles from the M6 junction 40 and 1.5 hours spectacular drive from Newcastle.
