The first of three I believe, as test evening events. Well if the Tapas Takeover event was a taste of things to come then we can't wait for the next ! Congrats to local chefs Mark Long & Matthew Agass for the tremendous food, Liz Singleton for the amazing entertainment set, the hard work of the staff during the evening , not to mention the hosts Jackie & Martyn for their warm welcome and letting it all happen. All in all a great evening, good luck for the future and hope it takes off for you all!

It's a nice tea room, of the bunting and cutesy signs type, with an odd addition of a teddy bear…read moreand toy section. It's hidden down a quiet driveway off a side street, giving it a lovely secret feeling. Service was friendly and prompt, and the food and drink was pleasant, but nothing to write home about. I was a little disappointed that the brown toast I ordered was 2 slices of very cheap brown bread, and not the rustic chunky seeded bread my partner received with his Ploughmans, (which was nice quality, but again quite basic. Very nicely presented though). The tea choices were nice, and although not loose leaf, the apple and cinnamon black tea was very enjoyable. Although we didn't get chance this time, the cakes and other treats on the menu looked lovely, and it'd be nice to visit again to try them. It was also nice that despite us finishing right near their closing time, they didn't make us feel rushed to leave.

Over priced for what you get, it's a very average afternoon tea at a high price (nearly £40 for 3)…read moreThe cafe is stuffed full with trinkets and 2nd hand items for sale. My son accidentally broke a money box, which was at a three year old's height. No signs were up to say that items needed paying for if accidentally broken. I spoke to the owner saying that he had broken something and that it was close to the edge when it fell off. I was very apologetic about the matter and honest. However the owner ( a man) was aggressive and said that I needed to pay the full retail cost for the item before leaving. As he was so intimating and overpowering saying that I couldn't leave without paying the full retail price and wouldn't accept the cost price (which is against consumer law). I was so scared and upset by this, and had to pay nearly £40 for an afternoon tea for one adult and two children. A really wouldn't buy or go to this cafe again.

Tootsie's comprises of three ice cream parlours around the North West, but the one I visited was in…read moreBotany Bay, and is on the ground floor, in what is now known as the food hall. It's a fresh and bright place, with a display of varying ice cream flavours depending on when you go. They also regularly run competitions to create a new flavour as the owner tells us, and when we were there she mentioned that the current competition flavour has a theme of "Sweet Shop Classics", in which the winner wins a tub of their own creation. Fab idea! * Although they also offer some incredibly tempting looking pies, scones, and freshly made pancakes, we were in an ice cream mood, and so had a look at some of the lovely flavours available, which on the day we visited included Creme Egg, Jam Roly Poly, Daim Bar, and Parma Violet. We were also invited to try some of the flavours before we decided what we'd like, and frankly that cemented the Parma Violet for me! We could've gone for a cone or a tub, but we decided to look at the very tempting sundae menu, and both chose "Mr Toots" which was two flavours of ice cream of our choice, with some crunchy bits, cream, a cone, and a fab little sparkler. I had Creme Egg and Parma Violet, and Phil R had Daim Bar and Jam Roly Poly. We loved the presentation, and agreed that they were delicious, and went down very well! They were also pretty good value compared to many other of the new boutique ice cream parlours that have popped up in recent times. The owner and staff when we were there were very friendly and welcoming, and as I enjoyed a pot of tea with a delicious home-made biscuit, I was able to watch another member of staff making fresh pancakes. There's something very pleasant about seeing it done fresh just for you! Coupling this with the value and quality of the offerings, and its location in Botany Bay with its free car park, I can guarantee that we'll be visiting again. I've got my eye on one of those colossal sized scones for next time! .... or that toffee fudge sundae... or maybe some pancakes. Oh god I don't know now! *The winner this time round was Wham! bar! Yum!

Took the old lady here for lunch yesterday as we wanted to try somewhere new outside of Manchester…read moreor Bolton and decided on this place after seeing it on Yelp. We debated the whole journey home (sad I know) what star rating they would deserve and I've come to the conclusion that for what it is they probably deserve a 4 star. It's a cafe, plain and simple. They serve coffee (decent) and a range of breakfast and lunch options. I had a cheese and ham toasty with chips and a cappuccino and my mum got a tuna sandwich with the same beverage. Food was good in quality and tasted nice, also arrived very quickly, however it was £14 for that lot so definitely on the expensive side for a town centre cafe. Overall - a good location for a quick lunch, but not if you're looking for a nice relaxing cuppa with a good view. I guess it does what it says on the tin - a good solid safe in the town centre.

I had a try of my buddy's hummus & I must say it was tasty as well. I don't even care for hummus, but I'd actually order it from this cafe if I visit again. Since it was a little gloomy & rainy the day we went in, it was perfect for sipping tea & my cappuccino. The service we received was very prompt and courteous.
