The restaurant features freshly made dishes made with homegrown seasonal produce. While visiting our family in Liverpool, we came here as a group for afternoon tea. My mother-in-law and sister-in-law had been here before, so they knew it was great and brought us back, along with my husband's grandparents. Do take note, you have to book your table in advance. We sat in one of the backrooms which was very cozy and inviting, albeit a bit noisy from a rowdy group of "ladies who lunch," but it was fine once they left. We all really appreciated that savory items were included in the the afternoon tea. The menu features a selection of sandwiches, savouries, a cup of soup, a bucket of chips, a selection of cakes and a mini trifle. Plus your choice of a pot of tea or cup of filter coffee. I was happily surprised at the wide variety of teas! There was ample to eat. My husband and I ate our entire afternoon tea, but everyone else in our group had a few sweet treats left to take home. The food was very delicious. I loved the little quiche best along with the soup served in a cute tea cup and saucer! Plus, the little basket of chips was a nice touch! Scrumptious! Also, it's just 14 pounds for Afternoon Tea which I think it a great value for such a delicious savory tea. Afterwards, my family browsed the farm store and boutique which featured a lot of cute country style home goods and seasonal produce and artisanal food items. Do go upstairs to poke around at their merchandise. It's cute. I really enjoyed this afternoon tea and I'd love to return next time we're back to visit my husband's family!

We got homemade tomato soup with salad, cheese, and bread. The tomato soup was great but was a little odd with lots of bread in it. I didn't eat the bread bits but the soup was really good. The cheese was also really yummy and came with some British sour fruit spread stuff which I hadn't had before. When it came time for dessert, I had no clue what any of the items were on the menu as they were English desserts I'd never seen before... I finally decided on "Sticky Toffee Pudding" which turned out to be a very nice soft, warm gingerbread tasting cake with hot caramel syrup. My British friend with me got "Summer Pudding" which was soaked bread with berries. It was really good and overall a really great lunch.

The staff was just as warm & inviting as the atmosphere itself! I had the appetizer of bread w/ pesto & balsamic vinaigrette dipping sauces & my friend opted for the hummus. My bread was so warm & fresh, perfectly toasted. The dippers were sooooo yummy! The pesto was very flavorful & the balsamic was absolutely fantastic! I had a try of my buddy's hummus & I must say it was tasty as well. I don't even care for hummus, but I'd actually order it from this cafe if I visit again. Since it was a little gloomy & rainy the day we went in, it was perfect for sipping tea & my cappuccino. The service we received was very prompt and courteous.

What can you say about Martin Mere. Besides the mad bird (of the wildlife variety) that actually…read morebarks at you and has teeth Free Willy would be proud of, this is one tranquil place. Have a gander at a pink flamingo, Asian otter, or the humungous African thingies with spiky hair. Apart from the bars on some enclosures, to keep Willy at bay no doubt, this is a great place for photos. I took a holiday from work one day and spent a good few hours meandering around the Mere, which is itself one large body of water engulfed in birds with spotters hiding in the wooden huts. It is a tenner or so to get into the mere, unless you have a £60 odd a year membership in which case its free. The staff are really friendly and happy to talk you around the park, with its many different directions and sections. The cafe does a mean coffee, a prerequisite if I'm to attend, and, considering, isn't badly priced at all.

The reserve hosts thousands of migratory birds each year and the duckling nursery is an award winning experience. With year round programmes of walks, talks, events and spectacular wildlife encounters, this is a wetland wildlife attraction for everyone. Whether you want to feed swans, see the work of beavers or climb across swan flyways, Martin Mere's offers a valuable day out to get close to nature. Their site is amazingly beautiful and diverse which makes it appealing for the young and old. This is relaxing British nature at its finest. There is always something new to display each season waiting to be explored. If you enjoy wildlife spotting, this is a fun and educational experience of doing so.

This meant we could sit at a table and didn't notice what I noticed on this visit....the tables are so close together that you feel awkward speaking because the next table can overhear everything.

Disappointed that the toilet wasn't flushing properly either :( On the plus side, they do beautiful home made cakes and the coffee is good.

From one side, Taylor's looks like a perfectly normal newsagent. The only problem is that, from…read morethe other side, it looks like a perfectly normal little café. This is because the shop itself is half newsagent half café. This unusual but handy feature in the shop means that you can buy your weekly copy of Heat before popping next door and reading it all with a cup of tea. The selection of magazines in the newsagents is pretty varied without offering anything too obscure like Knitting Weekly, and their sweets and drinks there are competitive and pretty cheap. The café side is pretty simple but cosy enough, with Taylor's offering its customers a small selection of hot and cold refreshments and snacks whilst you sit and watch the world go by through Ormskirk village. Both sides of the shop are reasonably-sized, meaning they can fit plenty in there without making you feel too cramped. A decent place to go for your glossies or a cup of tea.
