Visited today after a break of perhaps 8 years. The cafe was spotless, service was quick , friendly and efficient. The food we ordered was very good value for money, and tasty. The drinks were piping hot. Cakes are excellent . The food was honest and simple. Compares well with other cafes in the area.
Very dog friendly cafe, made me feel guilty I had not bought my own. Will certainly visit again.
Went with my elderly Father for breakfast. We go out for breakfast somewhere every Friday morning, and have done so for the last three or four years. I can only judge this place on what it was like on the day, it was our first visit here. It’ll be our last. Quite frankly, one of the worst breakfasts we’ve ever had. He had scrambled eggs on toast, I had the full English. The eggs were very, very pale and remarkably bland. Very reminiscent of powdered eggs. I don’t claim that’s what they were, but they were awful. The full English came with the same eggs. It is also the first breakfast I’ve ever been served with one and a half sausages. Cheap multipack sausages, seemingly, chopped in half lengthwise and then fried. But why three halves? I’ve seen this done before at roadside lay-by huts, but never in a so called restaurant. I’m not a big coffee fan, but like a latte now and then, and that is what we both had here. The darkest coloured latte ever. Really strong, and bitter. Unpleasant all round.
Lovely cafe! The staff are friendly and helpful. Amazing cakes and good coffee, I will definitely come back again with family. We also had a nice walk in Sawley Marina. It was such a beautiful view.
Visited today again as part of a group of 8 cyclists and unfortunately the service was very poor. Food came out at a reasonable rate, but the drinks were up to 30 minutes in arriving, plus they missed out some of the drinks until we complained. There seemed to be sufficient staff but perhaps they were just having an off day. Hopefully will be better when/if we return. It's a shame as it's a good location for us and lots of hoops to lock out bikes to
My first visit as part of a group of 10 cyclists. They coped well with the numbers, quickly getting drinks and food out to us. There was a good selection of cakes, etc and at a reasonable price. It was nice to find plenty of hoops to lock our bikes to, obviously they've given us cyclists a bit of thought. A useful addition to our "café collection" when out Sawley way.
Lovely little place to rest on your walk along the canal, to warm up and enjoy a pot of tea and a hot sausage roll. Friendly atmosphere too. They even have a menu for dogs! How fabulous ????
A really good bacon roll.
A point off for the Lichfields sauce sachets - not the best.
The complementary chutney was a nice touch, as was the lightly toasted roll which added a pleasant crunch.
A nice selection of homemade cakes too, and fresh coffee.
A pleasant find.
Good coffee, great cakes and friendly staff. Good prices.
Ceiling a little low and "echoey" when busy....which it frequently is as it's v popular.
Took over half an hour for my food to arrive despite reminding them three times, people that came in after me were served ahead of me. They rushed my food through after I asked for my money back. It wasn't cooked fully
