Absolutely amazing. Just so happened to come across a video of the café on social media and seeing as though I'm from Disley and it's not exactly a huge town, my girlfriend and I thought let's give it a go and we booked.
Booking was a breeze, type in date, size of party and time of day you want. If your time is available, you're taken to a confirmation screen to confirm your booking, if unavailable, you're alerted to said dilemma and shown the closest other available times. As a result of numerous no-shows and last minute cancellations, the café did charge a £5 deposit per person which we were fine with and ended up getting taken off our final bill (our bill was around £28 but we were charged only £18 at the café itself).
We were certainly thanking ourselves for booking as the total indoor seating capacity looked to be around 5-7 couples, so 10-14 people although this estimate was only from a few glances around the surroundings (of which were full with patrons) so I can't be sure! The seating arrangements included a rather comfy looking sofa at the front of the bus, the rest of the seating was classic tables and chairs. When we visited, that sofa was taken by a small group of children, their parents were at the back of the bus. Seating was surprisingly good, decent amount of space for the two of us along with our three plates of fine grub. I had the Loaded Strippers (chicken strippers) and my other half had the Southern Fried Chicken Wrap, we ordered a regular sized fries with piri-piri salt for the both of us too of course. The Strippers were only £6.50, rather good price for strippers if I do say so myself, the Southern Fried Chicken Wrap was £7 and the fries were £3.50, regular size, although to our delight our waitress presented us with a large size (worth £4) and told us the chefs had accidentally done us a large portion yet we would be charged for a regular size, happy days. All the food was presented and made amazingly, we loved every last bite of everything.
10/10 café, I'd absolutely love to come again and certainly will be doing so. Only not-so-positive point I could think of is the difference in menus. If you were to look on there online menu (at the time of review), you would see a respectable variety of dishes to choose from, this is what we expected to see when we got there but instead we got a smaller menu, it did have items off the online menu so no huge surprises, just not all of the items. It also had one or two things not on the online menu, that was quite a pleasant surprise. It really wasn't a gripe as the food & friendly service we had was beyond great so it doesn't affect my thoughts on the café enough to change my rating from 10/10 to anything else. ...
Read moreGreat lunch at this cute cafe, there was no one there when I went so got a cosy seat upstairs. I’ve added photos of the menu, vegan items are clearly listed and impressed that many sauces were available as vegan. There are 2 vegan wrap options one of them wasn’t available so took the piri piri wrap with tempeh and it was very tasty, also got the piri piri skin on fries, sriracha mayo and a vegan dark hot chocolate with oat milk. All of it was really tasty and I enjoyed a lot especially the hot chocolate. The location is beautiful with a lovely view out over the rolling green hills even though it was raining. The staff were really nice especially the one girl who served me I didn’t catch her name but she was lovely. Glad I finally got to go as I’ve had it saved on my maps for ages, FYI it was more expensive than I thought it would be, for the above it was £18.25 just for me for lunch. It would be nice to see an offer to include fries with your wrap or burger for a discounted price as they aren’t included and I feel like charging extra for oat milk is a little much these days as prices for it have dropped. Regardless I enjoyed and if I was in the area again I may pass by,...
Read moreReally wanted to like this place as I had previously dined there when they were based over in New Mills. However, service was appalling. We were told that there would be a 20 to 30 minutes wait for food, which was fine. However after waiting for nearly 50 minutes I enquired about my order, only to be told that it'd be another 30 minutes (as they'd forgotten about it). I didn't have time to wait any longer so requested a refund which was a debacle. They told me that the refund might take a few days because of the App they use, and they initially refused to refund the drink that I'd had! I asked for a telephone number so that I could chase it up with them if the refund didn't process, but they refused to give me their number. Really bad experience and best avoided if they are anything close to busy as you'll waste your day waiting. There are better options around (in Whalley Bridge and New Mills) so best off...
