the filling station in Keswick isn't bad, good fryup of local produce, and a few decent chip shops with local fish in Whitehaven, as to roads, well the Hardknott on to Wrynose Pass and down to Ulpha is pretty good but watchout for traffic as cars tend to go slowly and some places you don't want to stop (angle of the road).

I like the Filling Staion. There's also the cafe at the Honister slate mine and a nice cafe at Grange which is a mile or two detour.
