If you order a hot drink, it comes in a Grandma-esque tea cup and not a paper or polystyrene container. It's a mug-free zone so you probably won't see any burly lorry drivers in here. For a cuppa, a cake, a bacon sandwich or a Full English breakfast, this is a pleasant enough spot to stop in if you're nearby. Tip: parking availability in the village can be very hit and miss, especially on the weekends. You might have to find a space on one of the side streets.

My boyfriend took me here to enjoy the nature which was really lovely. As a suprise he had booked a table for 4pm. Unfortunately due to covid you cannot be seated inside the building. At the time it was sunny so I was fine to sit outside, peering longingly through the windows at the crystal chandeliers. The menu was basic containing mostly sandwiches, cakes and quiches. We ended up going for the afternoon tea which was £16 per person along with a milkshake. It was going quite nicely until a couple with their kid sat close by , which it was making a racket and spilled tea all over the table...and it started to get really cold... the tea arrived but with no milk.. by the time we got this the tea was stone cold. Oh and my partners coffee was rushed, on top of the plunger of the cafetière lay smooshed coffee beans, so he had a gritty coffee.. The three tiers arrived, I personally think one between us would have been suffice as we couldn't see each other haha and it left little room on the table. The bottom layer contained thin strips of sandwiches with the crusts cut off, an egg, beef & horseradish , smoked salmon & cream cheese, and a ham and cheese one.. oh and a quiche.. it was all really tasty. The 2nd layer had a scone with clotted cream and jam and on the side x2 marshmellows with chocolate sauce. The top layer held a small piece of brownie, a tiramisu and another cake oh and some fruit. Overall it was plesant enough but I found the prices steep for what we actually received . I would probably grab a drink here a very light bite when we can sit indoors again but nothing more. Service was plesant but forgetful, I could hear throughout our time there staff apologising to other customers about certain things..

The staff were lovely and accommodating for our group. A couple of us ordered their Club Sandwich and the portions were hearty, with the separate portions of chips being crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside (i.e. how they should be!). It's in a great location after a walk around the lake, though given its size it would definitely get very busy during the more popular times of the week. Be sure to check out their deli counter for the likes of scones and other baked goodies.

Russell's Cafe is a small independent cafe in Rochdale, located in the Wheatsheaf Centre, it is one…read moreof two of their locations, the other one also being in Greater Manchester in Bolton. The overall setup and layout is like your typical cafe but with a twist, for example, they even have a piano at the front of the cafe as well as pictures of the owners of the restaurant with Gordan Ramsay, after they went on some sort of his catering course, however from watching Gordan's TV shows and learning his hatred (which I share) of putting photos of the food on the menu, I'm surprised they did this here. One thing I was surprised and delighted with is that they offered a gluten-free menu, which very few (if any) cafes of this type do, options mainly include naturally gluten-free foods such as omelettes and jacket potatoes. Sadly, they were out of jacket potatoes when I visited and they didn't have any sides to go with the omelette as the chips were not gluten-free, a cheese and ham omelette would have been expensive here and came to around £5.50 with a charge of 75p per filling after the original £4 charge for a plain omelette. For my food, I ordered two gluten-free cheese and ham toasties, the portion size was small and it was highly expensive at £4.20 each, especially for the size of the portion, gluten-free bread is normally small and expensive, but the price here was shockingly high. The quality of the food was satisfactory at best, it was sadly one of the best things I could eat on the menu due to issues with the stock of jacket potatoes and not having any chips which would be suitable for my gluten-free diet. The staff seemed nice enough, but not overly friendly. I also ordered a banana milkshake, but it just tasted bleachy, foamy and wasn't very nice at all which was a shame, it was quite cheap for a fresh milkshake at £2, but still, the cheap nature is irrelevant considering the awful quality. I came here about 3/4 of an hour before they stopped serving food, and I felt rushed because they seemed to mention and stress the fact they stopped serving food at 4 which was a shame. With so many places shutting down it is becoming harder and harder to find a decent meal in Rochdale, the town-centre does not even have a Mcdonald's anymore which also surprised me, so based on them actually having a gluten-free menu and the location this place doesn't deserve a one star rating but issues with pricing, quality and other factors mean Russels Cafe at the Wheatsheaf sadly deserves nothing over a mid two-star rating.

I heard it's not usually open a Sunday which I personally think is a mistake. However it's a small quaint little indoor tea rooms only about 6 tables and some comfy chairs, with a little counter at the helm boasting all the gorgeous cakes. There was a lovely glass of fizz for arrival and then continual traditional British triangle sandwiches served throughout the afternoon. The tea was served in Downton Abbey style tea cups and saucers against the back drop Of some very beautiful Laura Ashley wall paper and some impressive chandeliers. The staff where very attentive. And lovely to chat too but also child friendly. Which is a bonus as I had my lite shadow in toe. He was most impressed with the tiers of cakes they brought round. Sized just right for me and him. It was a lovely day and outside they have a little decking terrace with some chair so, tables and umbrellas. Only one little unisex toilet but it was clean, fresh and smelt lovely. All in all I thought it was a lovely afternoon. I will need to go back to give an honest review of the actual tea rooms when it's open to the public. But for a private event on a Sunday. At lunch time if you are looking for something for those ladies of a certain age I do would recommend here.

The crowd was a little older than you'd get in your NQ coffee house but I think that has something to do with it being 1pm in the afternoon in Bury town centre. A lot of the little pop up places in the town seem to be run down, and the shopping centre's could do with a lick of paint but if I was back in this next of the woods, Number Ten would be high on my list of stop offs. I didn't eat here but it looked like they had some tasty lunch options. Nothing fancy but good sandwiches etc. so theres reason in itself to go back!
