Cafe in Ormskirk

“Purchased some plants from here today, along with a cup of coffee in the cafe, plants where really well priced and very healthy, coffee was also well priced and very nice in a great environment, we will return without doubt.”

“Lovely little cafe tucked away in the wharf, friendly staff and great food. The menus have been fancied up a bit, the veggie breakfast used to be spot on. It's a bit faffy now, so a toasted teacakes is now the go to choice.”

“Absolutley loved the food here and will be going again without a doubt. Good quality, hot food. The only downside was the tables are very close together and so you can hear every word of every other conversation going on. Found myself raising my voice just so I could have a conversation.”

“staff so lovely helpful and welcoming :) foods not mind boggling but for the price i don’t know why anyone would complain, it’s solid”

“My absolute favourite café in town! They have so many syrup flavours for coffee and matcha, and the drinks on the menu always taste amazing. The cakes are incredible too, there’s always something new and different that you won’t find anywhere else. Can’t recommend this place enough!”

“Amazing food. Will definitely be back. The tastiest black pudding I've ever had, proper butter with your toast, even the beans where amazing. Coffee fantastic too”

“We absolutely love JJ’s Jungle! It’s clean, safe and full of fun activities for kids of all ages. The play equipment is in great condition, and there’s plenty of space for little ones to run around. The staff are always friendly and attentive, and they clearly care about keeping everything tidy and welcoming.”

“Lovely place. Staff were friendly and helpful, food was delicious. By far the best vegan breakfast I’ve had to date, and my husband enjoyed his choice also. Great selection of food and cakes. Coffee was really nice too. Definitely worth visiting. Dog friendly with marked tables and tables outside too for anyone with one. Look forward to returning. Thank you”

“Went on a Sunday and it was very busy, good job we had booked a table for 5. We had black pudding, nachos and pork belly, followed by 4 roasts and 1 pie. 3 of us had to force ( we were already full) on of the best crème brûlée ever. We will be back”

“Great food: piri piri chicken was beautifully grilled, we liked also the samon and the "cataplana". Great and attentive service, good sized portions, great price per value. Definatelly we shall be back more than once.”

“What a delightful place. Food was absolutely delicious and the service was fabulous. Lovely polite young man who looked after us and it was such a lovely atmosphere. Will definitely recommend and come back again.”

But more importantly, the dogs were treated with a bowl of cold water First time in establishment, very friendly attentive staff , i will definitely go again without the two pooches Thank you for the hospitality”

“The food was amazing, bagels soft and fluffy, wide variety of fillings available. The cakes and desserts are delicious, and from what I can see it is all lovingly homemade. Staff were lovely and helpful”

“Came here on a Saturday afternoon with the kids and it was busy so we were lucky to get a table. They’ve done a great job of renovating this place with a fresh lick of paint and beautiful artwork on the walls. The owners are on the floor serving tables alongside the waitresses which is really nice to see. Food was great and the milkshake was outstanding. We will definitely be back.”

“Really nice new place doing competitively priced food that actually sustains you and isn't full of grease. Staff are super friendly, will even do custom orders if you ring up and ask politely.”

“Great food, the meatballs are amazing, great service from the staff, reasonably priced. Would definitely eat here again”

“It is decades since I was last at the Kicking Donkey. Went on a whim on a late Saturday lunchtime. Turned out to be a great decision - the food was lovely at reasonable prices for quality and portion size. The service was spot on; helpful and pleasant without being over the the top. And it's dog friendly which is a bonus. We will be back.”

“Had the most amazing evening in miller and carter in aughton. How the lovely Lucy kept up with the menu choices was beyond me. We had a choice of festive, Xmas and a la carte and ordered from them all so goodness knows how she did it. Hope she’s here when we come back which we deffo will xxxx”

“Came here today 1st time won’t be the last the food was excellent can see how it gets busy but need to point out how every member of staff I came across were so polite & well mannered nothing was too much trouble for any of them massive well done to the team here your boss should be so proud of you keep doing what your doing”

“Been going here for years and never had a bad meal or bad service. Superb food on the regular menu but also a great, varying selection of specials with good portion sizes and not overpriced. Staff and atmosphere are lovely. It really is a stand out place in Ormskirk and long may it continue! I only have one point for improvement which is that the otherwise fantastic burgers can get a bit soggy at the bottom I think because of the tomato under the meat.”

“Stopped off for a meal after days bird watching at Martin Mere. Glad we'd booked a table as place was really busy. Nice welcome when we arrived and service was efficient without being obtrusive. Generous portions and the homemade steak pie was delicious. Very reasonable prices too. Will be back.”

“Absolutely lovely pub and the food was amazing. Very friendly and attentive staff, I can't wait to go back here again!”

“Did an outside event for us. They worked very hard and the food was amazing. Eat in the bakehouse often and the food and staff are amazing. Highly recommended”

“Excellent food, drink and service, very welcoming atmosphere and looks lovely with all the Christmas decorations. The staff always go out of their way to find us a table no matter how busy they are . It’s a very popular venue and I can understand why.”

“Great New Years evening with delicious food and amazing atmosphere We came soon after the first lockdown and had to sit outside as inside was closed but still enjoyed our food and the atmosphere. We wanted to return and NYE was the best excuse, and not the last time either. The food was hot and tasty just as stated on the menu. I had asked for a couple of changes and this was done with no fuss to allow me to have the dish the way I wanted. All the staff were working hard but in a relaxed Manor which came across as a friendly place to sit back, relax and enjoy the evening. 100% chilled vibes and top notch food.”

“I'm a member of the weekly knit and natter group and I have a meal at Nordico most weeks. I have to say I really enjoy the food (I've never had a bad meal). The staff (especially Tom) are always welcoming, and deal with everyone in respectful and caring way. Thanks.”

“The CHIPS!!! The BEST CHIPS I have eaten all year!! Loved that everything on the menu including pies are homemade! The hunters chicken breast I had was super fresh, juicy, tender and tasty… proper good pub food !! I don’t know why every pub in Liverpool can’t get it right and do a menu like yours! Fresh, tasty, great quality and massive portions!”
