"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. View menu

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.

"Hearing about a traditional fish and chip shop in Prestwich, complete with a restaurant and bar, and cooking in beef-dripping with the option for vegetable oil (call to confirm vegetable oil availability), I was compelled to check it out. Upon entering the shop, I found myself in the bar area, with access to the restaurant located upstairs. The bar was furnished with tables, chairs, and stools for those wishing to enjoy a drink or avoid the stairs. It is encouraging to see young people engaged in the fish and chip shop trade, potentially leading to more traditional establishments in the future. The cod, although slightly smaller than expected, was delicious and cooked to perfection. The chips were among the best I’ve had in a long time. The pea fritters, black pudding fritters, and tartare sauce were also excellent. In-house pies were available as well, so I sampled the cheese and onion and meat and potato varieties and can recommend both. There is parking available across the street and on-street. However, the opening hours might not suit those looking for a lunchtime meal, as at the time of this review, the hours are Tuesday to Saturday from 4:30 PM to 8:30 PM, and closed on Sunday and Monday.
