Savoury items (rolls, sausage rolls and pasties are delicious) but,.... the sweet things are really bad. Style over substance. They are all gigantic but tend to be just insanely sweet and no actual flavour. I've tried the odd sweet thing over the years and it's always the same so I won't be buying anything sweet again. A coffee cake that doesn't taste of coffee at all, just super sugary, and worst of all it was sooooooo dry. The cakes are so big/thick slices that it's impossible to eat any of the buttercream from the top in the same mouthful as any of the cake from below the top 3rd.

Read moreOur first time visiting Ellesmere itself which is a stunning traditional oldy worldy town. Stumbled across Petes. What a gem!!

Highly recommend the tuna pasta as basic as that sounds, it was like no other! Very fairly priced and portions were more than generous! Environmentally friendly packaging also which is obviously the way of the world now.
Car parking also right next door so no hassel from that point of view!
Thankyou! We...
