Café atmosphere in Stoke

“Lovely place for kids to play! Feels safe and can let your children be children without the worry of them getting out of the play area. Would definitely recommend. Safe are helpful and very friendly.”

“What a lovely venue!! Lots of parking, very clean, the main hall was a really lovely venue!”

“Nice restaurant off the road A495 in Ellesmere. With elegant decor inside, it also offers lake side sitting. Good service, tasty food, kids friendly with lake view. The scone was delicisous!”

“Lonnie & dumpling was excellent. Plus a nice coffee to boot.”

“Stopped off for my free birthday cake and had a hot caramel milkshake which was so nice”

“Really enjoyable experience coming here. There’s a staff member, possibly the manager, wearing pink trainers who always keeps things running well and with a smile on her face.”

“Came across this lovely place on a walk round the west side of Rudyard lake after a chilly boat ride. Top notch cortado with oat milk and a 10/10 scone. Great prices, great choice of hot and soft drinks at reasonable prices. Beautiful lakeside views and friendly staff.”

“Great place. Good food/coffee. Great service. Would definitely call again.”

“Hi to the staff of English grill I ordered a full Monty and the food was outstanding the staff was amazing and polite the two ladies what served me who made good conversation and I will be going again 100% worth the money people must try Thanks to the staff Your sincerely D Martin”

“We have been here a couple of times now and find the staff extremely courteous, excellent service with the added extra of superb home made food. Very reasonable…inexpensive (not cheap!). Just keep it secret!”

“We have been coming to Costa for many years. The best part isn’t really the coffee, it’s the staff. These are some of the nicest people you will ever meet; being super kind and friendly, and making some of the best drinks you will ever drink. They are the reason that Costa tastes better, because it’s the dedication and love into coffee making that’s the secret ingredient to a better drink. Sadly, the ‘chain’ itself, or its higher management so to speak, has made decisions in recency that leave you feeling a bit cheaped out on. Over the years we have noticed steady price increases (even befor the cost of living and inflation). While there is something to be said about struggling business these days, Costa is by no means small and they are owned by Coca-Cola. They are not struggling for money. Furthermore, shortly after a recent price hike for all of the food at Costa, Costa started taking out sausages from their Sausage baps to go from 4 to 3. They then made them smaller only a few months later. This is a blatant cash grab and a cheap out from Costas executives and it is especially upsetting given there was no price reduction to make up for it. We recently also found out that these same executives are now not allowing stores to sell their leftover pastries at 50% off in order to clear them out, but rather throw them away if they aren’t sold at full price. This is a total waste and is a shame since these pastries can be quite expensive and they still get money with a sale rather than the bin. No blame can be put on their staff, they are doing their best and put effort into making the experience as good as it can be, but the higher management at Costa are only looking for a higher profit line, and it shows.”

“What an amazing duo working here this morning. A lovely welcome as soon as you walk in engaging with all customers. The girls were always looking to stay busy but always with a smile on their faces.”

“Best one , good service, good food”

“Lovely outlet at Crewe station, with plenty of food options- paninis, other savoury and sweet options. Both hot and cold coffees available. The staff were courteous. Quick service. Nominal price.”

“Just called in for a coffee and cake. Friendly and cake was great. Will be back for lunch next time we visit the garden centre. Happy to have found this cafe on the outskirts of Newcastle”

“This is a coffee shop offers costa coffee branded drinks which is always a good point to buy a hot chocolate at the end of the day when you need it most, it's located in the forbidden valley and does have a small outside area aswell as the indoor coffee lounge but as you can imagine it's somewhat noisy based in between one of the nemesis rides and Toxicator so not ideal if you want a quiet 10 minutes throughout the day. But it is ideal if your planning on leaving via the exit gate at galacticor which is next to all the car parks”

“Haven't been to these services for a while and was pleasantly surprised. Modernised, good range of outlets, good toilets that were clean, good van and caravan parking and pleasant places to sit inside or out. Coffee and cookies at Pret were what you'd expect with pleasant and efficient service.”
