This place really stood out to me amongst the small, quaint shops and boutiques of Knutsford. The outside seating looked very inviting, but it was a little bit cold so we opted to go inside. The inside is small, no more than 8 tables - but I liked it. Warm, cosy and cute. They offer a fantastic little menu consisting of soups, sandwiches, salads and some special seasonal dishes - but we opted for some coffees instead, which were lovely. But this place is more than a cafe, The Cheese Yard also sells artisan cheeses that they buy from cheese makers all over then world, as well as and boutique wines, beers and ciders too. You can order a fantastic range of these cheeses to try with some lovely homemade chutneys and crackers. Alternatively, customers were popping in to buy selections of their favourite cheeses to take home. It really is a lovely place.

For me, a perfect visit is to get a cinnamon sweet roll (warmed, with extra frosting!) and a nice big cup of tea, not only because it's so delicious that you groan when you take your first bite (*ahem*), but because it's such good value, and the staff are very friendly and welcoming. The venue itself is long and narrow, but has several tables and a stylish art piece on the wall showing people enjoying the sweet rolls! This place is a real gem, but because it's just at the top of the escalators near the entrance, people tend to miss it, despite the free samples often offered! Definitely give this place a try sometime, it's too delicious not to!

They sell a good selection of small cakes, buns, bread and pasties. Their sausage rolls and pork pies are particulalry good, although they dont have as wide and modern selection as say Greggs. They also do special occasion and wedding cakes to order. The staff are all quite mature, and are very friendly to their regulars but can feel a bit stern to younger people! They also do catering if you order in advance. Years ago my friend worked there as a Saturday girl, she said they use to reheat the day before's pastries and they were not allowed to throw anything out it had to be reused! However Ive never had food poisoning or any problems with the food in recent years.

There is also a Tesco petrol station across from the store by one of the entrances. The store is easily accessible by car or public transport. There are always plenty of bargains to be had. The staff are usually pretty helpful but I often find that the customer services desk is understaffed. The only other problem I have had it the rotation is stock is awful. I often find items that are very short dated or even out of date. Overall a good store with lots of choice but it's a shame it's taken so much of the business away from the main town centre but then if people in the town centre then the shops would still be open so it's a vicious circle.

But Adam, dubTAP is a new tap room and bottle shop from the guys behind Drink Up Brewing, and you…read moredon't drink, so why are you doing a Yelp review on dubTAP? Well I'll tell you why, you little scamp, you! Because I thought the same thing! I thought dubTAP were just a new drinking hole, and so despite the popularity and praises being sung, I didn't visit until recently, because I found out that they also do food, and also serve soft drinks and hot drinks. Hooray! The venue itself is on Lee Lane in Horwich, in a former small take-away unit, but despite their small size, they've used the space well, and I'm told have further plans to open the first floor for a more specific dining space, showing that they have every intent to keep the food coming, rather than it being an afterthought at a bar. As you walk in (mind your head, the doors are low in this place!), the first thing that strikes you is that with the wood cladding on the walls, lamp shades made from reclaimed metal containers, aspace saving seating, and long bar, it feels very much like somewhere you would find in Manchester's Northern Quarter, but slotted into Horwich. The welcome is warm, and as we walk in we notice a family on the left hand side sharing a table with some parents and their little girl, everyone having breakfast. This is a good sign. At some bars which are just simple boozers, you expect to walk in at 10:30am to simply find middle aged blokes called Frank sat around on their third pint, but dubTAP have realised that you can have a drink based venue, but one that still appeals to families and the non-drinking crowd by offering things like food, Fentimans soft drinks, and tea and coffee. As I mentioned, there's not a huge amount of seating in the downstairs space, but the best has been made of the space to allow people to sit without chairs and tables cramming all into the space. We sat on a side-bar with stools and read the food menu, which sounds very good, some really nice ideas for simple lunches, such as steak Canadian and black pudding scotch eggs, but today we fancied a bit of breakfast, and so opted for some toast, and the full breakfast, as well as a pot of tea for two. The tea came promptly, in a funky teapot and Le Creuset mugs, which kept them hot for ages, very nice. Breakfast however on this instance for us was a bit of a miss. We found the food to be a bit greasy and not of the highest quality, and also the toast was burnt, both the toast with the breakfast and the toast I had myself. But this of course is just our opinion, for a lot of people this would be just fine, and a good price. It's certainly on a par with many of the other breakfast offerings in Horwich. The reviews of the place for drink offerings are nothing short of stellar, and both the food reviews and photos of the general menu are also very complimenting, and look amazing to boot, but I think they've only just started doing breakfasts, and as the place has only been open a very short period, it stands to reason that they are still finding their footing in some regards, so I wouldn't judge the place on this one miss (for us). I think once they've been doing them for a while longer, get some better ingredients and they turn the toaster down a bit, they'll be on their way! The service was friendly and efficient, and it was nice to hear the plans for the future of the place, with a bigger focus on dining, so despite the underwhelming breakfast, I'd go back again to try some of those other dishes on the menu! What's also nice is that as it's right in the middle of Horwich, there's plenty of free parking on streets and free parking all around the area making it easy to visit. But clearly, dubTAP is aimed first and foremost at drinking, rather than eating, and for those visiting to try out the alcoholic refreshments on offer, I think you're in for a treat, as there is a massive selection available, from the cans and bottles displayed in the large chiller units opposite the bar, to wine menu, and the blackboard boasting the daily offerings such as "Beelzebub's Tears" and "Big Bertha". How could you resist?

The staff seem friendly, there are a good amount of checkouts and this store also supports the Mobile Pay and Go app. The to-go food and drink range is hit or miss, it can be the best in the area sometimes, but sometimes it can be pretty depleted, supported by a fresh orange machine (Currently out of use due to COVID). There is generally an OK level of stock, especially for a store of its' size, but this is again reduced compared to the Market Street store, and they often do run out of items which is a little annoying, but on the other hand there have been times they've stocked items here which they don't have in the larger stores. 4* - Probably my favourite Marks and Spencer Food only location in Manchester, not without its flaws, but certainly pretty good and well worth a look in, if passing through Spinningfields.
