Cafe @ Woodend Mill — Restaurant in Tameside

Decided to take our son here for a 16th birthday meal as he loves American food. We saw the cafe advertised on Facebook and it looked amazing. We called up to book a table, as all the pictures on Facebook show the cafe packed out. The gentleman who answered checked the diary and said he would be able to get us in. Fab news. When we arrived there was good parking and Mill looked good. When we walked inside the cafe there was nobody in dining. It was empty which surprised us. Anyway we sat down and was greeted by lovely girl who gave us menu's. The young girl came back to our table and took drinks order. Unfortunately there was no Rose wine on the menu and even though they had cocktails advertised above the bar, they wasn't doing them either. So ended up with a coffee instead. My son & partner ordered Milkshakes. The 2 young girls who was serving seemed very inexperienced and the chef / owner had to come out of the kitchen to help them make the milkshakes. We then ordered our meals. We asked the girl could we have the mac & cheese from the starters and have it all together with our main meals as we wanted to share it. She very kindly said she would ask the chef. Off she went to return to our table saying the chef said No. So we decided not to have it. Shame really as that lost them a £7.50 sale. When our meals arrived they looked good and was piping hot. I had The Killer which was ok but had way too much sauce on. As I was biting my burger it was just sloppy with sauce & cheese and falling apart in my hands. Very messy. I also had philby steak fries. Wow these where 10/10. Loved them. My partner had The Texas Show Stopper and upgraded to Pulled pork fries. He said it was nice but again commented on too much sauce. He gave it a 6/10. Our son had The New Yorker and said it was lovely. He gave it a 8/10. He also upgraded his fries to pulled beef and was very impressed with them. The cafe was really nice and the American interior was fab. The staff was...

Hidden gem on the warmco industrial park!

Local produce, friendly local people who run the cafe. Spontaneously decided to go out for lunch and decided to go here, and we were not disappointed.

We were told there would be a 30 minute wait on food however the staff could not have been more accommodating and it was worth the wait!

We had the lamb gyros flat bread and fries and the special fried chicken and fries. When it is homemade produce like this, it explains the wait but also the quality when it arrives on your time.

Big hearty portions, and 2 drinks and a freshly made sausage roll from the fridge, all for £25 ! Absolute bargain, and what made it better was the service we received with a smile 😃.

Thank you so much for a lovely lunch, we will definitely be...

I have no no affiliation with this place, but just wanted to give this cafe the review it deserves.

Aesthetically this place is an eye pleasing American smokehouse. The owner who seemed extremely passionate about food, and has a wealth of experience as a chef, was a really nice, easy going, helpful guy. The food was clearly made with love. I’ve been to many smokehouses and although the smallest I’ve been to, the food was without doubt the best I’ve had. A flavour sensation! I couldn’t actually believe how reasonable the prices were for the quality of this food. I can happily say I will be a regular customer here. Give it a try you...
