Cafe in Widnes

“Very pleasant , cosy local pub , nice guy behind bar ,”

“Always have great service from Jo and some others whether she is serving behind bar or delivering your food to table. A friendly smile or little chat nothing is too much trouble for her. Food on most occasions very good.”

“Had a great visit here. Food was really nice, served hot, tasted great and was good value for money. Nice drinks selection and not overly priced like a lot of places. The service made our visit though. Charlotte our waitress was fantastic. She was happy, smiley, polite and went out of her way to ensure we had everything we needed. She even came back after we had our meals to ensure everything was OK. The restaurant was busy and she was running round all over the place ( a great employee, just what a busy pub needs). Look forward to our next visit.”

“Felt like a proper, independent British put with home made food. Small but high quality menu with vegetarian options, nice interior and really friendly staff. Recommended the roast, vegetarian nut roast was really good. Cute farm shop outside too. Roughly £30 for a main and two pints.”

“Lovely atmosphere. Great customer service coffee my fav and good food”

“fantastic little cosy pub perfect for any function plus the bar staff are awesome”

“This Derby is really a nice lounge, the staff are very friendly, provide very good and fast service, the price is very cheap, and it is a very good place to hang out.”

“Great quality food- really enjoyed the burgers and the steak was great for the price- better than expected. Kids enjoyed their food, usually really picky, but enjoyed it, which was a god send. Team were really helpful. Great quality for the money.”

“We loved every single moment . The staff made christmas delightful without the stresses of cooking and dishes . It was our 1st time eating out on christmas day and will for sure 100% be back next year ! We didn't have any issues, though, a few comments to be made regarding choices for the gluten-free menu, which I have raised already with GK, though it didn't dampen our days . The 0% was a delightful treat, and we were so glad we felt like we were 100% enjoying the christmas spirits . All snr staff were happy and delightful as always . Id 100% recommend this restaurant to anyone and especially if you're thinking of eating out christmas day !”

“We had our staff team meal last week and have been to the New Albion several times since it has changed management. We’ve had various meals, particularly enjoying the lamb, steak, loaded fries and chicken feast. This has been the place my family have been going for years, back to the original Albion days. It took a serious dip as the Cook House but since Stephen & Jake have taken over, it’s regained its atmosphere and charm. I approached Stephen about supporting Halton Cancer Support, a local charity and he was very eager to get involved. He sought opinion and support from the public and began to create a relationship with our work, supporting our annual 5K event. They couldn’t do enough to help and support us. They elevated our event, extending it into the evening, attracting new supporters for our charity and new customers in their lovely pub. We’ve enjoyed great food and drinks every time we’ve been. This has lead to me booking for a party of 18 near to Christmas and my family are booked in for Christmas Day lunch. I don’t think we would have engaged as a charity or returned as a family without the warmth and friendliness of Stephen, Jake, and their team. Thank you for bringing some joy back to an old Widnes favourite, and for bringing it back to life with your own added sparkle.”

“This is the best Greene King I’ve been to. It’s just had a massive refurb and looks very modern. It has a big TV wall with the match on the big screen. Next to it on the smaller TVs next to it with sky sports news so you can monitor the other matches at the same time. It has a fab dart board also that adds up your scores automatically. Toilets are spotless. My first meal here was burger and chips and it was fresh with some lovely sea salt on my chips. I was on lemonade and it was nice and tasty! Fully recommend this place and it has a nice size car park to make it easy to drive there. Monday nights is Speed Quizzing which is great fun, free to play and you can win a gift card as well.”

“Went in there with hednesford town, no issues would have stayed for more”

“Really friendly owner and the food is a good price and tastes better than the normal butty vans. Good value and always a good chat”

“Had breakfast here today, eggs benedict with crispy bacon. Delicious. We will be returning.”

“I was in a predicament today. And ended up at the Grapes whilst trying to get myself a taxi.. The staff and the locals were amazing. One of the local gentleman even offering me a hot drink while I waited and even helping the taxi find me. Very welcoming and lovely, after the day I had it really was lovely to see a friendly face.”

“I would highly recommend people coming here the food is amazing 2nd time we have ordered here and its on point definitely best quality takeaway in widnes”

“One of us got a breakfast which is standard you would expect, nice. I ordered a chicken kebab with rice and salad, it took a while to arrive but was absolutely delicious! Well worth the wait, reasonably price and the staff are lovely as always.”

“I take my dad who has dementia. The staff are lovely and the people he has met there are quite chatty. It seems to be a friendly community pub.”

“Excellent. Lovely friendly pub with a really nice atmosphere. Definitely going back”

“All spoons deserve a 5*. This one deserves a 10. Food and service is top-notch. Access for all mobilities and in an ideal location. Pr8ces are cheap and multiple menus due to Christmas season. Would recommend.”

“Lovely People and Bill the Landlord needs more support off locals if this is to stay open .... never had a meal but believe they are fantastic”

“Open till 4 am, always packed and lively with a massive variation in age difference between the clientele which makes for an interesting night out”

“Fantastic food at great prices. Smashed burgers are great. Kids meals are cheaper than maccies too”
