It is years since i have been to The Willows Cafe in the main shopping area of Highfield Road in South Shore, Blackpool. . I was rather surprised with prices they charge . I went with a friend and we both had our lunch inside the cafe, I had a cheese and tomato omelette with chips and salad and my friend had Gamon, chips and peas. PLUS a lot of freshly brewed tea. Myfriend likes her tea very weak sowe ssked for an extra pot of hot water so she could water her drink down. Can you believe that they only charged us THe TOTAL PRICE £9.50 for EVERYTHING? UNBELIEVABLE BUT IT'S TRUE .
I had a pudding of a good sized slice of black cherry cheesecake which cost me another £1.50. I dn't know of anywhere else that you would be able to get a 2 course meal for the very low cost of mearly £6.25. I STIĹL FIND IT UNBELIEVABLY CHEAP SO much so that i doubt that they're making much, if any, profit. I DON'T KNOW HOW THEY CAN DO IT SO CHEAPLY IN TODAY's FINANCIAL SITUATION .
The food itself arrived at our table within a reasonable length of time and we BOTH enjoyed our lunches and received it delivered to ourtable by a very happy looking and friendly waitress who obviously has been doing this job a while because she's a perfect person for the fact isthat she was very good at he job and she attended ro us AS SOONas we approached the counter when we were ready to order our choice of food .
We've both enjoyed receiving a friendly service from a staff member who wore a smile when serving us.
The food was prepared by another staff member who just works in the cafe's kitchen area and they certainly know how to cook a great tasting and how to present a great looking appetizing 8meal becausetheu were NOT only presented really appealing to the eyes BUT it tasted fantastic too.
My only criticism is that the chairs that we were sat on were hard and had no cushioning on them. This could easily be improved by providing a few scatter cushions for those customers who would prefer a softer seat to sit on. The decor inside the cafe needs attention to bring it up to date bexause ii looks a little sparse BUT IT WAS CLEAN and we will drfinitely be returning again soon...
Read moreI have been going in The Willows for YEARS! My dad goes for breakfast on match days (Blackpool FC of course!) I go with him and my step mum sometimes. My sister goes there with her boys and hub. My mum goes there too. June and Vick know my entire family 😂😂 I take my daughter and grandboy… Need to take the newest one in asap! It’s friendly, good prices and good food. The corned beef hash pie is yum. They will do their very best to accommodate what you need or want. It’s not fancy but doesn’t need to be. Good food...
