"Wonderful atmosphere. When we arrived there was a piper playing tunes, who was friendly and was very nice when taking a photo with. I've been inside the castle twice, one time in 2022 and now in 2023. The castle is unchanging, which is positive. Nothing is dirty or dusty, standards are high. The audioguides are great and informative. It takes around 30-55 minutes to get through the entire castle with audio guides. There are 2 gift shops with similar products, which is nice. Gives you proper time to browse everything, as the store located in the exit of the castle is normally crowded. Staff is super nice, politely telling you not to take pictures with flash and where to go. Also very nice in the shops located in the castle, will help you reach things off the shelves if you can't."

"A local gem almost too good to share. Although the dam lane shopping parade is not a glamorous location it does provide accessibility with amble parking not just in front of the shops but also a full car park at the back of the venue. Once inside the vibe is friendly and welcoming would not be out of place in Stockton Heath, Didsbury or Chicago without the high prices and jet lag. The background music is eclectic but conducive to conversation with a crowd ranging from mums and tots , lively senior citizens , local builders/trades and middle aged women on their own like me. With everything freshly made with great produce at great value prices it’s an affordable daily treat for locals like me and people using the A49 and Junction 21A of the M6 take a small detour and have a decent rest stop without the cost of a service station experience, With exceptional standards of customer service and a comprehensive menu from an exceptional range of cooked breakfasts and soups to speciality sandwiches and salads, I rarely resist a take home treat from the great range displayed in Nigel's hand crafted cake display cabinet, other examples of his designs are in the decor and seating with an amusing touch of Fred Flintstone’s style. If you are bringing a four pawed friend there is limited outside seating a la Barcelona without the need for sun block"

"This small cafe/ deli is my absolute favourite place in the West End. They tick all the boxes great coffee, quality ingredients, a lot of atmosphere and efficient service. I would recommend trying the Spanish Chorizo sausage roll. It's got the perfect amount of spice and seasoning, surrounded by a flaky pastry. Another highlight is their savory tartlets simply delicious. They also sell a variety of imported European confectioneries and drinks. Try one of their freshly baked sweets I loved the chili Madeira cake. The owners are almost always present and working in the cafe this shows their commitment and seriousness in maintaining top standards and customer satisfaction. Highly recommend !"

"We were really looking forward to having our first night out as a couple in a very long time! We were given a dining out card as a Christmas gift and decided we would use the green man as the first time using a vintage inn. Really sorry to say, but this place needs an awful lot of work! It was very very quiet which usually means good service in most places. However, not the case here. As I am currently trying to eat healthy, I’d already decided what I was going to order prior to arrival after checking on the website. However, it was kindly explained to me by the waitress (I think the only time we saw her) that you couldn’t remove a sauce from a meal as no food is prepared fresh, it is pre-portioned first thing in the morning and reheated throughout the day so I cannot remove the sauce from any meal. However, a female manager did then by chance ask if we were okay and she explained that we would be able to have the sauce on the side. However, all of this was irrelevant as when I saw another table the fishcakes the sauce comes on the side anyway, not the best start. The starters were pretty mediocre, just deep fried stuff, but hey it’s not high end prices so you can live with it. Not sure why with no need to cook anything they took so long. This was the first time we saw the cook, a young girl with long dark hair, casually strolling through the restaurant in a uniform that looked like it hadn’t been washed in a week, playing on her phone and running her hands through her hair, I’d bet any amount of money they weren’t washed before back on the microwaves and deep fryers. The waitress did show up for the second and last time to remove the starter plates with a ‘How was it’ comment. This now became more of a comedy night than a meal out. Our hair playing cook then sent out the mains, and if you’ve ever seen that episode of friends where Chandler lives with the crazy guy that dehydrates everything, well I assume he was the 2nd cook. Have a look a the Brocolli served with the fish cakes. It is genuinely funny! We couldn’t complain, there was nobody about anymore. Oh other than when we finished the illusive waitress appeared from nowhere quicker than the flash super hero to clear a nearby table, I then realised it was because they’d been silly enough to leave a tip on the table. Of which she didn’t bother to wipe once she’d banked the cash. The manager lady did come and eventually take our plates, not asking how anything was, so I quickly asked if the broccoli was meant to be like that. She answered no, and did offer to remove my meal from the bill, it’s a shame because if there had been some sort of check back I wouldn’t have left hungry. So we waited for the bill… and waited… the manager lady had disappeared… the waitress (and I use this term tongue in cheek) was busy on her knees taking through the host stand to a regular drinker, as the other manager (make) in a check shirt walked around the bar on his phone when he wasn’t having banter with drinkers. This isn’t a real restaurant, I wouldn’t bother going if you’ve bothered to get to the end of this long review. I’d imagine this review will only get read by people currently in the restaurant waiting for their mains. If that’s you… get ready for disappointment."

"This is a fabulous coffee shop and friends and helpful staff. We always go here when we stay at the nearby Warner's Alvaston Hall Hotel. The front of the shop has wonderful gifts and paintings for sale, and the café is at the back with plenty of seating. The main meals look fabulous, but we had a tea cake and a scone and both were delicious as was the pot of tea we had. The prices are very reasonable for all food, and you know you are getting quality. We wouldn't go anywhere else in Nantwich. A great place to visit and looking forward to seeing the management and staff again when we next visit. As an aside my wife purchased some earrings in the shop on our way out, again very reasonable."

"Wandering in town and have 10 minutes to kill. My usual place (not costa) was mega busy. So thought I will do a Costa. Mistake! First off I don 't mind a queue. The inefficency of the staff is what was causing the queue. The staff member being Barista was with the gentleman ahead of me and kept asking what the drinks were. Fine it is a big order.....nope 2 drinks. The staff member then is reminded that he hadn 't paid yet. I then placed my order, cortado and a croissant. The barista then had to ask how to make a cortado once they were in the know, the coffee was ground and the milk steamed. She then realised that there were no cortado glasses! Her colleague went off in search of one, so I thought. She apologised for the delay only for the colleague to return empty handed. When asked there was cortado glasses on the worktop behind her. The best bit.......the ground coffee had been left in the portafilter for the duration. It was then used and so was the milk which had also been standing waiting. Hey presto a luke warm cortado! The croissant was stale, I mean like yesterdays bake stale..... Not a good experience. I enjoy my italian coffee experiences, but this was not one of them."

"First off, the place is small, with just a handful of two-top and four-top tables, along with a small counter area. It has a classic feel, as if it has been a part of Richmond's history for ages. Our waiter seemed a bit out of place, but he was attentive and responsive, serving everyone except those at the counter. I ordered the MLT (mayo, lettuce, tomato) and my daughter got the BLT. Although she specifically requested no mayo, it arrived with it. Fortunately, our waiter quickly fixed the mistake. My daughter really enjoyed her sandwich, while I found mine to be just okay. The meat in my sandwich lacked flavor, making it feel rather bland. On a positive note, the homemade pickles were fantastic! The sandwiches themselves were quite generous in size. We also tried a slice of funfetti cake and a mixed berry cake. My daughter loved the funfetti, and I saw another customer raving about it too, so it must be good. The cakes were delicious, and I think they would be even better warm with a dollop of whipped cream on top. Overall, it was a good experience. The menu had a wide selection, so I’m sure I can find something I’d enjoy even more on my next visit. I plan to go back soon!"

"We visited for pizza night and had the best time. Food and drink was brilliant and the staff were caring and personable. We were a large table and ordered a variety of pizzas and sides, pizzas were spot on and the staff made sure we had what we needed to have a great night. Live music was a bonus. Returned the next morning for breakfast sandwiches on baked in House bread and coffees that hit the spot. Couldn't recommend enough."

"The proprietors have made some good changes inside and out to increase the available seating space. I didn't eat this time but the cakes looked great though a bit pricey for me. The only disappointment was that the toilet facilities are still awful and not part of the Great House Barn. Probably not in the control of the cafe, I noticed that one of the staff members had to use the public toilets outside too, she still had her apron on . I would have expected by now that the cafe would have their own. Maybe more to do with Bolton council and heritage, not sure."

"I can't understand how anyone could give this cafe a 2-star review. My family has been coming to Samuel's Kitchen almost every week for the past 6 years. Either our taste buds are off, or the negative reviews are from people trying to tarnish the reputation of a great cafe. Today, while enjoying our lunch, we overheard a worker being told by his friend that ordering a LARGE pork sandwich might be a challenge. 15 minutes later, he asked for a bag to take half of it home. The portions are generous and we have always had delicious food and good value here. If you don't like it, go somewhere else and let the regulars and newcomers enjoy their meals."

"I went to this restaurant yesterday and asked for a bacon sandwich at 11:28, only to be told that they had already stopped serving breakfast at 11:30. Even though it wasn't yet 11:30, the kitchen refused to make me a sandwich. Despite there being very few customers in the restaurant and no one else in line, the staff at the counter were unhelpful and the restaurant manager was rude and inflexible. It seems that the staff prioritize their own convenience over providing good customer service. After speaking to the General Manager named Dean, who admitted the service we received was unacceptable, we were promised better service on our next visit. However, after this experience, we have no plans to return to this restaurant."

"Was recommended by someone to come in to the restaurant so thought we’d give it a try ... After 20mins on waiting around to be served we finally ordered our food , we then sat back down where the freezer was to the right of me and I could see someone pulling food from the freezer(named brands) out with their hands. After waiting a little more people came in to the coffee shop where they sat down , but the previous persons coffee cups had stayed and they were not moved for the whole of the duration of the couple sitting down , no tables were cleaned and other tables had dirty plates on them. There were a couple of cakes , which I witnessed being cut without a glove on and the cake fell into their hand.... A little while later our food came out where the server didn’t know what food he was giving us and went back into the kitchen to shout to the “chef” and ask what is what , while they argued . Our order was wrong and we was asked “what do you want me to do about it , this is what your ordered” when it wasn’t in fact , I felt very intimidated and just said it’s fine leave it. While eating I could see the kitchen and could see the father and son arguing in the kitchen about another issue and were not very quite about it... The food was nice after all but customer service, cleanliness and attitude about the business is all wrong could defo do with some music as it’s very quite and atmosphere isn’t great !"

"Stopped off on my way through to Devizes. Farm shop had a great selection of products including home made, locally made and a wide variety of fine UK and imported brands and specialist items. Prices were fair, not extortionate as some farm shops can be. Will be back, when in the area. I have my eye on their huge bowls of habas fritas. Updated May '22 visited many times since and can confirm the habas fritas are fantastic. So many great home made produce, including large or individual trifles, which I purchased today along with the usual suspects, which include the broad bean, pea feta salad and the homemade coleslaw."

The service was excellent and efficient, the soup was piping hot and delicious, and the chicken salad sandwich was generously filled. It's definitely worth a visit."

"Second chance for this cafe......but will be its last. No acknowledgement on entering despite staff standing chatting, dirty table covered in crumbs, greasy menu and upon asking for the table to be wiped when asked for our order, the waitress did so grudgingly and in a clear display of inconvenience at being asked, swept all the debris onto the floor. At this point we left!! I have no doubt that this is a really good every day cafe, but with customer service like this, I wont be giving it another chance to find out!!"

"This is the cafe and ice cream parlour which proudly serves Sidolo ice cream which is described as made in Wales by Italians Situated on the sea front just past the market and short walk from Butlins on way to town centre. We decided to treat the kids as it markets itself as an ice cream parlour which we thought would be an experience. The outside of shop is very run down and the interior is tired but very clean. We sat in The window seat overlooking the sea front and it is a nice view have uploaded a picture. The ice cream sundaes were served in tall traditional glasses and looked nice. The ice cream tasted nice too and offers about 10 different types of sundaes priced at £4:35 each. You get a wider selection of ice creams about 30 or more if you have a cone or a tub. The thing that disappointed us was that although marketing as an ice cream parlour where we expected it to be made from scratch we saw that the sundaes are factory prepared and a plastic pot is just inserted into the glass which spoils the overall expected service especially at the price which is similar to a Hagen Dazs cafe where they are prepared from scratch and offered as an experience. However we still enjoyed the ice cream. My wife had the treacle syrup sponge which is a medium portion with custard but is very rich and you would not want it to be bigger. Again, you could see that it was a prepared. Microwave sponge which was a shame as the overall parlour gives the impression of a homemade traditional parlour ... which clearly it is not. The other unique experience was being handed a code to get through a fake doorway which allows you to use the toilets it 's a bit odd .... and massive signs saying toilets only for patrons... despite free council toilets being well placed along promenade. On thing to mention was the very shiny taps in toilets someone obviously takes care and pride in shining them up. Overall, nice factory prepared ice cream, cakes dinners likely similar overpriced for what it is and could get similar sundae and syrup cake from Morrisons cafe for a £1.00 round corner. Disappointingly not the traditional parlour experience we thought it would be ... Shane as could easily get up there and then justify its existence as a parlour and would likely be a popular experience by the holidaymakers at Butlins. By the way, Butlins! also has a bit more expensive parlour on site but offers it in a traditional way so gives bit choice here as well. So, tasty ice cream thumbs up experience thumbs down. Ok visit if want something to do... Hope this helps you readers"
