Stuck in Congleton on a Monday morning. Things were looking pretty grim. Having to catch the bus made it even worse. Obviously our amazing public transport network meant I only had over an hour to wait for the next bus. So that is how I ended up in The Bear Grills Cafe. I was not expecting much, given the surroundings. But on entry, it was a pleasant surprise. It feels cosy, yet spacious. Nice and bright and well presented. We grab a seat and I find the breakfast for me. Going for the large option. Essentially 1 or 2 of everything you want in a breakfast. Plus beans. We are soon ordering and the beans are easily ditched for an extra hash brown. Whilst waiting we notice that they do an eating challenge called The Hibernator. Which is over 4 times what I've ordered. If I'd had the time I might have given it a go. Could well be back to do this Food arrives quickly. It's all looks freshly cooked which is nice. It's nicely presented and I even enjoy the tomatoes, which I'm usually a bit reluctant on. My only minor quibble would be that as a ketchup addict, I would have liked to have seen a bottle of this, rather than the packet provided. All in all. A good spot to stop if you find yourself stuck in Congleton. And worth making the visit to try the Hibernator. read more
