    Meadow Lea Farm Coffee Shop - This local farm added a café about six months ago I heard.

    I was asked if I ever had a proper English breakfast so we came to this relatively new café that's…read moresix months old. I was introduced to Black Pudding, an acquired taste for even the English- pigs blood and intestines mashed into a hockey puck. I have nothing to compare it to but a taste of it was good for me. It was crispy, soft like pudding and a bit sweet. I opted for the tuna panini which was terrific. I read it came with chips which I figured were fries but got actual potato chips which was fine I guess. Michael said his All Day Breakfast was spot on except for the sausage which he described as cheap or watery. The other lads said there's were fine and devoured it spite being hung over. Before breakfast I asked to walk past the gates to witness the sprawling fields. I was welcomed with a bit of apprehension and took a few photos as you may see. Apparently no one asks to go back into the farm. I breathed in the cool air and appreciated the beauty of the English horizon. I was met by the owner, Bill Williams, in a tractor who stopped me to have a bit of a chat. He is a funny man when he said the view was "alright" and there wasn't much to see. I learned the farm was 400 acres and how he had a kick travelling the California coast line several years ago. When I return to Chester I will be sure to come back and eat here and say hello.

    Absolutely 5 star in every respect. Glorious food served by friendly staff in clean and welcoming…read moresurroundings. The sight of a log burner roaring away is a marvellous sight on a cold winter morning.

    Stumbled across this place completely by accident! Mrs G and I decided to take a nice drive through…read morethe beautiful Peak District on a gorgeous sunny December day. First stop was Matlock - cute little village, powerful river flowing though town, nice views all around. We wanted to have lunch but hadn't really seen anything and so we decided to head to Bakewell (about 20 minutes drive) when I noticed a classy, inviting, purple sign by the road "The Orangery". We quickly turned around and are so glad that we did! We had a really GREAT lunch and have already booked again for Christmas Eve when our daughter and new husband visit. It may sound odd but it used to be part of a very prestigious school for over a century - the most famous "Old Girl" was Richmal Crompton who wrote all the "William" books that I devoured as a kid. Now the whole complex is basically a old peoples home (Man are they lucky!!). So the lunchgoers were, on average, grey haired (but I am going that way too) - but it was fairly quiet in terms of lunchgoers and music (just the right volume - Christmas songs, Wham and many many more of the favorites. The restaurant drips class, the bistro also (full bar). A wide selection of offerings _ I seriously wanted the prawn curry but got lured into a Christmas special. Wonderful staff, great food, excellent service - and beautiful nooks for a quiet or romantic lunch. Try it you'll like it! Two big thumbs up Review #108 2019

    Wowww. What a surprise! Jill and I visited Medicine for our anniversary, and were not let down…read more Pros: perfectly cooked dishes. Carefully crafted flavors. Soft and peaceful ambience. Friendly staff. Inspiring space. The owner obvious has passion, love and care for what she or he does. I love supporting places like this! Well done. The raspberry cronut was out of this world. Insane flavor but not overwhelmingly sweet, moist, perfect. The eggs benedict was killer. The Korean chicken was one of the best chicken dishes I have ever had. And I do believe the fries that came with it were the best fries I have ever had. Perfect crispness but soft. Beautiful cup of coffee. Cons. -Although it wasn't completely full, there was a 30 minute wait (which was totally fine with us). I don't think their kitchen can handle the size of their restaurant. But no biggie. -it's a bit on the pricey side for the amount of food you get. For example, the Korean Fried chicken dish, it was £10 and there were only four small pieces of chicken (plus fries and kimchi). However, the masterful flavor and texture of the chicken made it worth it. -the millionaire cronut was a bit dry. The flavors were decent.

    Cousin of medicine in Birmingham, renamed and a kittle vamped up to match this place is still rowdy…read moreand serving old successes and new things. Coffee is apparently good, I had the banana cream shake (because I have a milkshake problem) and that was great, thick and made with fresh banana- not a thin syrup job with a lazy bit of squirty cream I keep experiencing. Tonnes of veggie, vegan and gf options- some rather sexy looking pizzas (2 for £10 in offer times) a good number of breakfast options served until 12.30pm, and a breakfast section until 4. I had the buddha bowl, with added halloumi which was great- especially the broccoli, the beetroot hummus and the chilli jam. Opposite me was the harissa chicken salad which was apparently also rather lovely, and came with lovely flat bread- we were too full for cake, which was the actual reason why I wanted to go- oops! Staff were lovely, place is clean, only issue is it is quite loud, so not a place for private conversations.
