    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.

    The guys are lovely friendly staff, especially one guy who remembers what you want each time, so…read morefriendly... 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...
