A Great Little Place — Restaurant in Sefton

Wheelchair Model Diaries

A Great Little Place (Based on Lord Street inside the Atkinson)

A Great Little Place is a Social Enterprise creating opportunities for young autistic people to develop work skills for life, They are the winners of Southport Stars Cafe Of The Year 2023, and I was very excited to try it!

I was invited for lunch at this lovely cafe, which is accessible from the Atkinson itself, or it does have an entrance at the front too with tables outside. The entrances are both accessible for wheelchair users, but the one through the Atkinson is much easier as its an automatic door, so I can use this when I am on my own

The cafe has a great area at the back which is very spacious and a little quieter which I prefer, so I sat here and I was able to stay in my wheelchair and access the table comfortably

The disabled toilet facilities are right near the cafe as well, and uses a Radar key entry system. The toilets are lovely and clean with plenty of room to turn in and a good drier too! (always a bonus)

I was offered table service which was fantastic, as I find this much easier, and the staff were extremely helpful and friendly.

I was with a friend for a catch up and we were both really hungry by the time we ordered, so we we’re grateful to see plenty of comforting filling food on the lunch menu! We both went for the Lancashire Cheese and Red Onion Panini, which was served with a tasty Homemade Creamy Coleslaw and some Kettle Chips. We had a San Pellegrino Lemon drink to help us cool down after shopping, and also a Chai Latte and a Cappuccino!

I loved the fact there was wifi available, and also lots of plug sockets around for if you need to hook up! I will be returning here for a work lunch thats for sure!

Lovely staff, Great facilities, Gorgeous food!

10/10 I will...

Visiting southport for the day and saw the good reviews for here so we thought we'd give it a try. Soooo glad we did. Such a brilliant cafe. Arrived about half an hour before closing so it was very quiet. Staff following covid guidelines to the letter. Staff friendly and polite as well as offering excellent service. Thanks so much to them. A nice selection of cakes on offer and a good selection of drinks. Asked for our drinks to be extra hot and they where made perfectly. The chocolate orange cake was amazing....so flavoursome, rich yet Such a light sponge...one of the best we've ever had. Recommend the orange hot chocolate too....so lovely. plus the prices are so very reasonable too. Highly recommend this delightful cafe. Please pop along and...

Popped into The Atkinson today and tried their chicken & bacon wrap (they have a cute little cafe called 'A Great Little Place') which put a smile on my grumpy little face for half an hour. Surprisingly spacious when you step inside (I sat outdoors last summer just watching all the pretty girls pass by) and it had a really nice atmosphere indoors. Plenty of friendly helpful staff meant I got served really quickly, but there are loads of little comfy corners to offer some lovely private areas to hang out in. I might go back tomorrow,...
