We Went in today by chance, on our way to Nottingham. 62 miles from Manchester and worth every yard. Excellent home cooking, served hot and promptly. Great value for money and a warm friendly welcome. Next time, im trying the roast.

Just had the most amazing home cooked full Monty breakfast, great options and includes your drink! This is a very popular cafe and people were already eating their Homemade Sunday roast, the Yorkshire puddings are just like your Nans, everything about the place had the delicious aroma of Sunday roast cooking( do you remember back in the day) an aroma to get the taste buds going for sure, the Yorky puds were huge and cooked by a true Yorkshire lass, the dinners were plated with fresh prepared and cooked seasonal veg with real proper roasted meat and real gravy( it’s the aroma again) they looked absolutely delicious as they were being turned out to the customers! I will for sure be trying one of them dinners next week and apparently you can take them away with separate gravy, so if you have an elderly parent friend or neighbour who needs proper home cooked food that doesn’t cost the earth packed with real goodness without being processed or frozen, THIS IS THE PLACE TO BE!! Forgot to mention the wonderful staff too, who get the food to you extremely quickly, no waiting no hassle!!! What a place!!! Thank you so much

My word, what a great little cafe to stumble across. I was on a trip from Manchester to Nottingham and stopped here on my way for some breakfast. Great service, great breakfast, great everything really!! Need to make the same journey in a few weeks and want to come back here to try the Sunday roast. Can't wait to come back! Loved it!

Great little cafe, makes a banging cup of tea and sausage cob. The owner Julie is a delight, really welcoming and friendly to chat too. They make a habit of knowing their customers, when I walk in now they instantly know how I have my tea and it's almost done by the time I get to the counter. Had their steak pies in the past and they are really worth getting. A+

Great food, good prices and always a friendly face behind the counter. Pay and display carpark across the road with a good sized front door with no step for easy access for wheelchairs

Decent food at cheap prices. Only been a couple times. Not a posh place, simple but good value for the money.
