Bridge View Cafe — Restaurant in Tameside

I had taken a group of elderly ladies and gentlemen with dementia out for the day and had taken a very small picnic with us due to the expense of their being 11 of us in the group and the different speciality dietary needs, we had all got settle around the outside area where there was one other customer sat enjoying the sun and a cup of coffee, the owner of the cafe was extremely rude and abruptly told us that that we couldn't sit there! I explained that I wanted to get these elderly people a cup of tea and a slice of cake to go with their sandwiches and he rudely shouted u can have a take away cup!! I explained that I didn't want a take away cup as the difficulty for these people holding onto a paper cup can become quite difficult and that I wanted a proper cup with a saucer for these people all in their late 80s early 90s, yet he refused and told us to move over to the picnic tables that had no shade and these elderly people were then exposed to blinding sun, this man was so rude and when I told him I would be writing this review on his mistreatment of these elderly people he went on to tell me to include all my details as he would then come after me!!! I have never in all my life been treated or had my elderly group of people treated in such a manner and i am extremely upset with the way this man spoke to us!! He will be elderly one day let's hope someone has the kindness and respect for him in a way that he refused to give to us!! My ladies and gentlemen that were able to understand him were extremely upset with his treatment and very disgusted! There was no other customers sat outside so we were not taking seats for other customers, we were obviously not good enough to enjoy his outside area, needless to say we didn't buy a takeaway cup of tea and we certainly will never buy one from this...

We all had a mixture of toasties and sandwiches which came with salad and crisps. The milkshakes were thick and frothy. I shared soup and a sandwich which was really hearty and thoroughly enjoyable. Chunky home made vegetable soup and a chicken club on a barmcake. Would definitely come back. Really liked being able to eat outside by the canal in...

Surprisingly good and good value Christmas lunch with my mother in law and her daughters. The place itself is nothing to shout about except for the possibility of walking along the canal but the lunch was very good. Freshly cooked, nicely served. Lovely piece of salmon, really crisp but light roast potatoes, freshly prepared vegetables and mine pies that weren't out of a packet.

But I now find out you can only pay by cash! No credit or debit cards. But it Is quite reasonable so you don't need to raid the...
