"I was passing and stopped in for a bit of brunch. It was pleasant, but not much to set it apart from other cafes. Atmosphere Decor On entering it appears light and airy with an interesting combination of fuschia pink and heavily patterned wallpaper...which seems mismatched with the traditional wooden tables and chairs. There are a few leatherette armchairs, but these have seen better days. Service cleanliness Whilst the service was polite and efficient, there was no real welcome or warmth. It was simply transactional. There also seems to be lack of attention to things like wiping tables and laminated menus thoroughly, evidenced by spilt condiments and sugar, and drink spill stains on tables. Food This I cannot fault. There were plenty of options on the menu without it being overloaded and a daily specials board too. My order arrived quickly, was nicely presented and was very flavoursome. My coffee was also good, well presented (though a saucer would have been useful)and rich in flavour. Cost wise, I'd say very reasonable. Overall I'd say Matchstick is a nice little place that seems popular with locals. It's worth popping in if you're passing. With a little more attention to detail and service they could really raise their game. Thanks for a pleasant visit. The customer service was also"

Been going at least three times per week for breakfast in past six months. Great balue, and promptly cooked full english. They also have other excellent breakfast items such as plain avocado with poached eggs and brown toast with a side of spinatch, or ommeletes...to your liking. Staff is also very friendly.

Enjoyed a really good club sandwich and flat white today. Came to including some chips. Wasn't even in the menu but they were kind enough to respond to my craving and I really enjoyed it. The staff are nice, the places is modern and...well decorated but with a traditional feel and the food is great quality. Loads of lunch and breakfast choice on the menu.

Matchsticks is a lovely, welcoming cafe with very nice staff. They serve coca cola from glass bottles. I love coca cola from glass bottles, it tastes so much better. A good selection of food and it's delicious. I love the chips from here. They are...cooked just how I like them and I really enjoyed my bbq chicken, bacon and cheese panini. I will definitely go back because I want to try the ham, egg and chips.

This cafe is fantastic. We visited on Saturday and ordered sausage egg sandwiches and bacon egg sandwiches with hot drinks. Everything was delicious. We've visited this cafe numerous times and the food is always excellent (jacket potatoes, sandwiches, etc). We also grabbed a chocloate brownie and a slice of parkin cake to go, and they were both delicious. The menu offers a good variety of food and drinks. The staff are always friendly, helpful, and provide great service.

I recently visited this charming café and was impressed by the lovely decor, which was clean and welcoming. I started my meal with a tasty soup followed by a delicious cheese and onion pie. I couldn't confirm if it was homemade, but it certainly had that homemade taste and feel, which was a pleasant change from the usual mass-produced options. I was too full from the two courses to try dessert, but I found the prices to be very reasonable. I would definitely recommend stopping by this café if you're in the area.

Matchsticks is located in the center of Broughton Village, offering ample parking and indoor dining, as well as outdoor seating for when the weather is nice. The owner and chef, Mark, along with his family, work together to create a relaxed atmosphere and provide excellent service. I frequently visit for breakfast, which is well-prepared with a great English touch, but I have also enjoyed their coffee, sandwiches, and hot meals that are served promptly. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by this wonderful local café.

"First of all let me say a positive, the only positive- Taylor our server was Brilliant, so polite friendly and excellent at his job ABSOLUTE RIP OFF, they only care about your money this place the food is so vile I couldn't eat much, meat was terrible. I'm a person who like to order at the bar, So I went upto the bar and tried to order to none alcoholic cocktails approx 11.80 on menu, I was told server will bring it over looked at Bill when he did, 13.00 I told him take that service charge off , absolutely disgusting they don't want you to order at bar so they squeeze a few extra pound out of you everytime you order a drink it's not the it's the principle) After meals in next room ,another service charge added on bill of 17, it's a disgrace and leaves a bad taste in my mouth , as if the place isn't expensive enough.. I would of definitely left a 20 tip for Taylor anyway as he was excellent but to be forced to do it in a restaurant that is already ripping you off in a cost of living crisis just shows you what this restaurant is all about. It'd 52 each anyway and you can't eat that much meat as it'd really poor quality and cooked poorly so please don't make the same mistake we made and choose this restaurant to eat. I so nearly walked out after the incident at bar when they tried to add on a service charge by made me think they were being polite and bringing our drinks to us, I really wish I had as I've had better tasting food at McDonald's in Moss Side"
