As it is the only cafe we have in the village, it provides a place to meet and catch up with friends over a cuppa or at lunch time. However there is also a prayer room in the basement, which you can visit on your own or you can ask for someone to pray with you. They also sell a small range of cards fo birthdays, Christmas, Easter etc. The café provides much needed jobs for local people with disabilities such as Downs Syndrome and also work experience for local high school students with special needs. The staff, both paid and volunteers, seem to have a never ending supply of patience. The food is good too!

Mustard and Punch is a very nice, small, restaurant in the centre of Honley village. Though it has…read morea cosy atmosphere, the home cooked food is extremely good and reasonably priced. The menu changes every few months, so there is always something new to try. You may need to book as it can often get very full. Mustard and Punch regularly do early bird offers and also 2 or 3 course deals with bottle of wine (I can recommend the good the house white). An evening at this restaurant provides an enjoyable meal with excellent service, and it really is a very friendly place, so it comes as no surprise to learn that it has been recommended in The Good Food Guide. One of my favourite restaurants.

I've tried dozens of little tea rooms over the years, but this one is one of the absolute best I've…read moreever been to. The decor is fantastic, relaxing, and quaint, but more importantly, the food is superb. Everything we tried, from the milkshakes to the desserts, were absolutely finger-licking good. The quality was simply superb. This place is worth going out of one's way to visit. If you're looking for a fantastic lunch, it's where it's at. One note, the place tends to be busy, so it can be a bit of a wait for the food or for the staff, but the food is worth the wait.

You will find lots of craft work, sculptures and ceramics as well as the paintings. As well as the normal displays, the gallery often holds special exhibitions which are well worth a visit.

Honestly the best afternoon tea I've ever had the pleasure of eating…read more Two days ago, we went to the big Betty's in York - where we ordered two afternoon teas from - which had small towers giving small afternoon tea treats. It made for a good Instagram, however, yesterday we went to Blacker Hall Farm where we ordered afternoon tea - only to be treated to larger sandwiches, a giant scone each, and three unique delicious desserts. This far exceeded my expectations and also was quite a bit more tasty than Betty's. Would definitely visit again soon!

Stumbled across this place completely by accident! Mrs G and I decided to take a nice drive through…read morethe beautiful Peak District on a gorgeous sunny December day. First stop was Matlock - cute little village, powerful river flowing though town, nice views all around. We wanted to have lunch but hadn't really seen anything and so we decided to head to Bakewell (about 20 minutes drive) when I noticed a classy, inviting, purple sign by the road "The Orangery". We quickly turned around and are so glad that we did! We had a really GREAT lunch and have already booked again for Christmas Eve when our daughter and new husband visit. It may sound odd but it used to be part of a very prestigious school for over a century - the most famous "Old Girl" was Richmal Crompton who wrote all the "William" books that I devoured as a kid. Now the whole complex is basically a old peoples home (Man are they lucky!!). So the lunchgoers were, on average, grey haired (but I am going that way too) - but it was fairly quiet in terms of lunchgoers and music (just the right volume - Christmas songs, Wham and many many more of the favorites. The restaurant drips class, the bistro also (full bar). A wide selection of offerings _ I seriously wanted the prawn curry but got lured into a Christmas special. Wonderful staff, great food, excellent service - and beautiful nooks for a quiet or romantic lunch. Try it you'll like it! Two big thumbs up Review #108 2019
