I have had a couple of the takeaway brownie treat boxes, they were absolutely delicious. So much so I have also bought them for gifts for my friends. The coffee shop looks warm and inviting and the staff are all friendly and smiley. Top notch 😍

Been for both breakfast and dinner. Can confirm that breakfast is one of the best in the area, I’ve tried quite a few. Dinner was also spot on, quality produce and decent sized servings. I’m yet to try the ice creams but the kids weren’t disappointed.

Me and my family attended this bistro, from when we walked in the staff was so pleasant and welcoming. The food was so nice, i cant say i have ever been to a bistro before where the food quality has been so nice and fresh and the food came out well presented. The price is very reasonable and definetly well worth the money. It also has a great park next to it which the kids absolutely loved and the gardens look very nice and well kept. I would highly recommend gladwins bistro to everyone and will definetely be visiting this bistro again.

Visited here for the first time today for a family meal. Great menu, sensible prices, very tasty food but what stood out was the service. Even though it was very busy (a good sign) the lady who served us was very accommodating, recommended we ordered quickly to avoid a delay and was very attentive throughout. The best service we have had at a restaurant in a long time. Well done!!

Visited on the 15th Dec 2021. Friendly Staff, Nice atmosphere and Jazzy relaxing music. Enjoyed their Festive buttered crumpets and Pumpkin Spice latte. They got it just right; plenty of coffee taste and not too much syrup. Just what I needed to keep me company and stay warm while waiting for a friend.

Lovely little cafe in a beautiful town. Had the medium breakfast and it was absolutely delicious. Just what was needed after a night camping on the Moor. Good value for money, sausages tasty, eggs cooked perfectly and a good cup of tea and coffee. Service was impeccable, the waitresses were polite and helpful. On the whole we felt very welcomed and enjoyed our breakfast

So I eat a lot of cheese and onion pie and I've had it in many places and Bobbys at the Square make the best one I've ever tasted, it's amazing and the homemade chips are a nice touch too. The breakfasts and chilli is pretty decent too.

We stopped here for brunch in December, I didn’t go inside due to the risk of Covid, so we sat outside ( yes it was cold but sunny) at one of the lovely tables. They even brought out cushions and blankets to help us to stay warm. There was a slight delay to order food as they were very busy. But once we could order, the food came quickly and was delicious. They brought a water bowl for our dog and he had some yummy locally produced sausages. I had the pancakes and they were great. There is limited parking outside the cafe, but we managed to get a spot. We enjoyed watching the local birds darting in and out of the bushes nearby. It’s a peaceful but popular spot with good food. I hope we’ll return one day.

Love this place! The staff are soooo accommodating, the vibe is lively and warm, food is really good and the coffee is hot! Might be a bit of a trip to get there depending where you start, however you can go to nearby Tatton Park for a stroll after!

Ate a Suburb Today for the first time after hearing good things from my Fiancee and our daughter. First bit of advice would be book in advance the restaurant is quite small and compact. I had the Suburb Breakfast, My Daughter had the same and my Fiancee had Smoked Salmon with Scrambled eggs and asparagus with 2 Latte's and a Flat White Coffee. Service was OK, Restaurant was clean, Food was amazing to be honest one of if not the best Breakfasts I has ever eaten. Prices are quite expensive but the food quality and ingredients were Top draw so no issue at all. Total Bill £52. 5☆

Just had breakfast here and it was absolutely spot on! The food was fresh, tasty, and served piping hot. The coffee was perfect—rich and smooth, just how I like it.

Beautiful little place. All the staff were so friendly. My partner had a bacon bagel and I had mushrooms and thyme on toasted sourdough. Perfect breakfast. And the Abaco coffee is worth the bus trip from Manchester alone. Thank you so much.

Stopped here for a drink and tried the sharing platter. It was very busy Friday lunchtime, but we managed to get a table on the 2nd floor. Service was quick and very pleasant. Drinks were expensive. The sharing platter was really good. We had the mixed meat and cheese one. There was plenty on the sharing board with lots of different cheeses, crackers, chutneys, fruit, and a selection of meats. Everything was beautifully presented and tasted fresh. It was a but pricey but we really enjoyed it and would definitely go back if in the area.

This is a beautiful place to eat. The team were really friendly. I've marked service down slightly only as a few of thr vegetarian options were not available as they didn't have all the ingredients so my options were very limited. My friend who I visited with goes regularly with her husband and they love it. I would visit again though.

The food here was fantastic and reasonably priced. Holly was incredibly kind and helped us choose the best vegan options. My favourite dish was the vegan sausage, which was absolutely incredible—kudos to Chef Mike! Overall, it’s a great spot for brunch, and I highly recommend it!

6 adults and one young child had unlimited breakfast at the John Milne on 26th Jan The food was absolutely brilliant quality and was served very fresh and nice and hot! The service we received from the staff was impeccable especially “Sophie” who took our order, she was super friendly and polite We were so impressed with the visit we all decided we are going to try and do it again on a fairly regular basis The continental part of the breakfast was equally stunning, little things like ice in the jug of water makes all the difference Thanks again Chris

There is outdoor and indoor seating. Some areas are nicer to sit in than others. I don't prefer sitting on the aisle so I avoid going when it's busy. The staff are quite chilled and let you take your time. There were occasions when I had to wait quite a bit for the food to come, but generally the waiting time is acceptable. The chicken, gammon and steak platter is tasty! So is the 8oz rump steak! I've tried other food before like the burger, scampi, pies, sundae and they're all good!
