Cafes, coffee stops and favourite greasy spoons in the North West

It's a while since I've been to Bill Smiths, Chester.
A pleasant surprise was the burger van (Fanny's) selling halloumi fries. Just wow.:drool
The bloke said he took over the van last July and it's much better than it was before.
Not sure if that's his name though.:confused:

Can someone turn the halloumi pic the right way up please.:D

http://www.goatgapcafe.co.uk/ - formerly a Little Thief but now independently owned and serves local produce. Everyone in my group of 10 seemed happy with what was ordered and it arrived pretty quickly. It had been chosen as a lunchtime rendezvous point if people got split up so we had phoned ahead with numbers and they had set up a table

Cafes Coffee Stops and Greasy Spoons 2022

Had some time on my hands this week so I went back through this thread and produced a google maps page base on the content. Some of the entries didn't exist anymore as the original post is some years old and a few don't have enough info to plot properly but most of them are there.

Added one or two of mine and will probably add one or two more, link only lasts 12 months.
 
Pootler - nice work! Thanks!

wessie - that's not far from me, and I pass frequently (usually on my CRF heading up to the Dales), I'll drop in next time, thanks for the info

Stopped at Errington Coffee House in 2019, excellent coffee, great cakes and very friendly staff.
 
What about the Ponderosa? Its just across the border into Wales
Horseshoe Pass, Llangollen LL20 8DR
 
The filling station is already listed / included I have added some from the North East section today also.

oh, it does not display all of the POIs unless you scroll to the bottom of the list on the left
 
Google maps is odd, some pins only appear on the map when you zoom in or out on a particular area or select one from the drop down list. The Welsh one currently appear / disappear when you zomm in and out.

Just added The Gather café in Ennerdale, https://thegatherennerdale.com/ went here a few years back good food just a bit off the well beaten track.
 
Stopped at Ness Gardens, Wirral for a coffee in their cafe.
Was treated like a leper. Will not be returning.
 
Changed since I was last there 10 years back lots of bikers in and treated like everyone else and the food was good.

Lots of cafes have a golden spell then go down hill, usually when a key member of staff leaves or are taken over by a global corporate group.
