    The best English Breakfast in the UK…read more In fact it won the Mirror Best Cafe in Britain award in 2006. This isnt just any old Truckers Cafe it also attracts Familys and local's for a good selection of hearty home cooked, great british Grub. Not only are the breakfasts well worth a try (be warned they are belly busters!) they also do a Fantastic Roast Dinner, which also comes with Chips if your extra hungry! It's all homemade, nothing out of the packet, the Gravy is like your mum makes and the Chips are good old fashioned cut potatoes and not frozen. The Decor isnt fancy or anything to shout home about, but with food as good as this it doesnt need to be its just big bulky tables and an assortment of odd chairs but it works! For Truckers its ideal, they have Shower facilities on site and a Huge Car Park and right next to a petrol station so you have everything you need for an overnight stay. Try it, you wont be dissapointed. Such great Value and Mega Size portions that'll make you want to go back every time you pass!

    The Lazy Kettle is only a truckers' cafe but has such amazing food that families and couples visit…read more Although excellent quality the meals are reasonably priced. On the menu is everything from all day breakfasts to full roast dinners, of which there is a different one each day. There are usually two or three other mains and several old fashioned puddings. We have a toasted sandwich each time we visit, delicious and fast. The only down-side is their coffee. It is obviously instant and possibly poor quality but the food is fantastic.

    Very disappointed and upset by my experience. I came during a meetup and explained I had an…read moreallergy, only to be told they couldn't serve me a panini, a slice of cake, or even a cup of tea. I made it clear I was happy to take full responsibility, but they still refused and blamed it on food standards. That's a poor excuse. Many places manage to cater for people with allergies while still allowing them to make informed choices. Instead, I was treated like a liability rather than a customer. It's incredibly frustrating and left me feeling excluded and judged. Places like this should do better.

    This little roadside wonder was such a pleasant surprise. After a very early start and an afternoon…read moreof hard work, we stopped for tea and coffee before heading back to base. The building is bright and colourful and reminded me of a lovely blue farmhouse. The brightness carries through to the inside where there's a number of paintings on the walls. This gave the place a lovely homely and cosy feel which made me feel relaxed. We were welcomed warmly and the drinks order for our large group arrived promptly. I had to go for an old favourite - the chai latte - and whilst they're often overloaded with sweetness owing to an unpleasant amount of syrup, this was a delightful savoury and wholesome chai rendition. If you craved some sweetness, sugar did the trick. If not, enjoy! No syrupy sickening sweetness, not a drop. Hurrah for the chai latte in its natural form. Good job, Conwy Falls! I just wish I could have spent a little more time soaking up here and perhaps have enjoyed lunch or a cake. Alas, we were all very tired (5am start!) so it was very much a quick visit. A gem of a roadside stop.

    I was asked if I ever had a proper English breakfast so we came to this relatively new café that's…read moresix months old. I was introduced to Black Pudding, an acquired taste for even the English- pigs blood and intestines mashed into a hockey puck. I have nothing to compare it to but a taste of it was good for me. It was crispy, soft like pudding and a bit sweet. I opted for the tuna panini which was terrific. I read it came with chips which I figured were fries but got actual potato chips which was fine I guess. Michael said his All Day Breakfast was spot on except for the sausage which he described as cheap or watery. The other lads said there's were fine and devoured it spite being hung over. Before breakfast I asked to walk past the gates to witness the sprawling fields. I was welcomed with a bit of apprehension and took a few photos as you may see. Apparently no one asks to go back into the farm. I breathed in the cool air and appreciated the beauty of the English horizon. I was met by the owner, Bill Williams, in a tractor who stopped me to have a bit of a chat. He is a funny man when he said the view was "alright" and there wasn't much to see. I learned the farm was 400 acres and how he had a kick travelling the California coast line several years ago. When I return to Chester I will be sure to come back and eat here and say hello.

    Absolutely 5 star in every respect. Glorious food served by friendly staff in clean and welcoming…read moresurroundings. The sight of a log burner roaring away is a marvellous sight on a cold winter morning.

    This is a lovely teahouse. It's a unique spot as it's traditional farm shop, but it also has a…read moretearoom and country store located in a 16th century barn. 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!
