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.

Staff in the cafe and shop (that includes butchers green grocers ) are genuine and friendly. Breakfast around a fiver depending on how hungry you are are wonderful, proper bacon and mushrooms etc are fresh no processed junk. Cafe is lovely and clean with an area in the greenhouse that's cosy if you wish. And they have Donkeys to pat!!! What more could anyone wish for.

I love coming here because of the Alice and Wonderland theme…read more They do have sandwiches and salads, but you need to try the afternoon teas. I get the Alice's afternoon tea: It has unlimited tea, milk in a cow pourer, sandwiches, salad, scones with clotted cream and jam, a macaron, cream puff,and you get to pick out a cupcake from a list. Everything is so good!

I came here whilst waiting for a late bridal client, and I was pretty glad I did!…read more It was a bit of a grim day outside, and I cosied up on a table on my own, browsed the menu and ordered with the super friendly waitress and settled in with my sketchbook. I can't remember what tea I had, but it was lovely, and with a lemon meringue cupcake, which was pretty tasty, and with a gooey curd centre which made it super moist. I was so happy with the cakes, I took a few to my parents too, and it's rare that I take baked goods anywhere that weren't made by my own fair hand. It was an odd playlist in the background, but they cater so well for dietary requirements too.

Whilst in Cheshire for a friend's wedding, I spotted Hollies Farm Shop on the way to the reception…read more True to form, I couldn't resist a little peek in here on my way home It's quite a big site as the business also houses a caravan park though some of the juggernauts in the park probably need planning permission just to move because of their size and the impressive number of aerials and satellite dishes located on the vehicles Avoid the large plastic cow and use the udder door (soory, couldn't resist!). The little wooden shopfront is like a Tardis - walk through and you're transported into a large shop inside. For a foodie like me, it was heaven and I had to resist hard not to spend silly amounts of cash here. Fortunately, I also had a lunch reservation which stopped me browsing too long and spending even more money The fresh meat counter had fresh meat as well as pre-marinaded meats and various ready-to-cook concoctions. I asked for a recommendation from the butcher and he said the matured and 28 day hung rib eye steak would be his choice. It certainly had wonderful marbling through it and tonight, my sister and I dined on top class tender and flavoursome steak. It delivered what it promised and tasted so superior to supermarket beef The fridges yielded a lot of local cheese and I picked a smoked white Cheshire. I also got some Kasseler, which is pork loin cooked in spices as well as smked trout, which will be nice in sandwiches. I also spied Cartmel sticky toffee pudding, which I had purchased in Cartmel while dining at L'Enclume last year There were shelves of wonderful looking homemade cakes and also savoury snacks but an impending lunch stopped me indulging in those. The front of the shop had a nice selection of fruits and vegetables What a little gem! I do friends in this part of the world and this will be a must visit spot for me in the future when I'm up this way

Nice little cafe that serves up brunchy goodness…read more The service was good. The environment was pretty warm. If you want to sit indoors, this location has plenty of seating. They served up a fantastic matcha latte, and Liz got a cappuccino. I thought this place was a fine place to eat breakfast, or if we wanted to get a coffee or tea to go. Liz and 'Em had pancakes... although it looked like smaller portions they were filled quickly. I had a morning brekkie with meat, which came with toast, bacon, a small tub of beans, roasted tomato and spinach, and toasted eggs. It was all pretty delicious. The server offered sauces (hot sauce or ketchup). I was pretty content with the food. All types of folks come in and all are treated the same. If you're up around the area - or on the way to the World Museum, stop by.

My friends and I were greeted very warmly as we arrived and got to choose where to sit. Then we ordered at the counter. You can see everything being made there.

Variety of toasts, bagels, French toast, coffees, teas, other drinks. Everything at great prices! I always leave that place satisfied and with happy tummy!

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
