The best service and amazing food every time we visit which is a weekly event. The full English is delicious with quality ingredients but my favourite is the mushroom benedict with a side of spinach. Booking advisable especially at weekends. Lunchtime.e menu is as good as the breakfast one, finish off with a slice of

The food is excellent and the owner is a lovely guy. Can be a little noisy but that's because it's a cheerful lively cafe.

Popped in here on a whim while my car was having a tyre change and was greeted by a lovely man and young girl. I was seated and had my drink within a few minutes. I had the avocado bagel and added bacon which was amazing. I’ll definitely be returning!

The best food in Chorley by a mile. We’ve had the breakfast’s (which are legendary) and the lunch menu. We have been delighted with it all. The owner is a dream, it’s fascinating watching him and his team work. They have a real passion and it shows. Recommend booking so you aren’t disappointed.
