I called at Substation today for the second time since it opened, it opened around the same time as…read moreSubway did in Middleton, of course taking off the name "Subway" to make "Substation" and the logo of course takes off the London Underground logo, which once again likes into the name of it being a "Subway" The menu here is quite big, they sell mainly breakfasts, sandwiches and jacket potatoes. This was my second visit to the store as I said, firstly when I called in, just after it was opened I was pleased with the service and satisifed with my gluten free sandwich, albeit the food quality wasn't fantastic it was okay, just okay. The bread used I am told is from a bakery, although it is typical prepacked gluten free bread when they do have it in. This is pretty much an average local cafe, not a typicla restauraunt, with metal tables and quite cheap feelings around it, such as the menu simply just being laminated paper, and the salt and pepper pots etc being on a cental table rather than on each and every table, you order at the counter also. My second visit, I ordered a jacket potato with tuna crunch and cheese, of course with salt, pepper and butter and I was quite upset with the quality, the quantity of the toppings was very poor, and even the quality of them was as well, my potato just tasted bland, it was dry and I had to leave some of it because of that, which was a shame because I was hungry and I hate seeing food go to waste, but because of the awful, dry taste I just couldn't stomach it. My friend ordered a bacon and egg sandwich after being told they were out of turkey, and the only chicken they had was Teryaki Chicken, which didn't look very nice, even the waitress had to look at it twice to be able to work out what it is, it simply looked thick and disgusting. My friend later went on to complain about the quality of both her bacon and the eggs, and mentioned the only good thing was the bread, of course this is expected coming from a bakery, but surely there is no point having good bread without good fillings too? The overall service wasn't fantastic either, and the food was quite cheap but sadly due to the overall feel inside, for example the floor level is uneven and slight cheapness in the decor in some areas (albeit in some they have made it look nice on a budget), while also considering the poor standard of food, I sadly feel Substation lacks any feel of originality, with the name being unoriginal and taking off something else and the food standing out but for all the wrong reasons, hence deserving a single one star rating. UPDATE: After this visit, I decided to come back again to try them out again, giving Substation another chance having an issue in the past with food quality, and sadly I was once again upset with the quality of my food. I ordered a jacket potato with tuna crunch and cheese filling, and I found the quality of it all to be quite poor, with a very low amount of toppings on my potato, which in all tasted really dry and a little hard, and it really wasn't too enjoyable which was a real shame.

So I have driven past this little tea rooms many times but never actually seen it. I was a guest at…read morea privately hired Sunday lunch event to mark a half century victory birthday. 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.

On 23rd January my husband and myself called in to Amigos for a coffee and cake. We arrived at…read moreapprox 1.50pm which was obviously staff changing over time as there were three women standing behind the counter, one fastening her handbag ready to leave. The women were nattering and didn't even bother to acknowledge our arrival. I was waiting to ask what the muffins were, but as nobody appeared to be interested in coming over to assist I decided I would ask when I ordered the coffees. Despite the fact that my husband had sat at a table directly opposite the till and I was standing with my money in my hand waiting to place an order, the conversation between the three women was obviously far more interesting than serving their customers. After waiting for approximately three minutes, I decided enough was enough and we left. We are regular visitors to this cafe and have experienced two of these womens' behaviour before. They seem more concerned in talking about what they are having for tea than serving customers and clearing tables, It is a shame because the manager is always very pleasant when we go in there. It is a great pity his staff let him down. Will think twice before going in there again.

However there is a blonde woman, I presume the owner, who when you've filled up your loyalty card by spending quite a lot on coffee so you can get a free one, actually charges you 20p for the larger coffee even though you have spent enough on a lot of coffee to actually get a free one lol This is not good customer service, nowhere in Middleton does this, or anywhere else for that matter, but if that 20p means the world to you then you have it, it's being stingy! Especially when the coffee is WAY overpriced, it's closely priced to the brand names like Starbucks, the coffee is far from being on par with Starbucks, and I think that should be reflected in the price, but it isn't... So stop charging 20p extra when I've spent a fortune to save up the free coffee on my loyalty card... And lower the prices, it's no Starbucks...

At 11 am on a Saturday, they weren't too packed and even if they were this place is huge so there is plenty of room to sit down and enjoy! What I ordered: I got a cappuccino and a falafel salad.

Another bonus- there were outlets next to all of the booths! Nice. I would highly recommend this place!

Located in the heart of Norden Village, on the bustling Edenfield Road, this small café has a 'Last…read moreof the Summer Wine' kind of vibe to it, with a warm, friendly atmosphere and old-fashioned interior (but alas no Nora Batty). 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.
