Asked for a grated cheese children's sandwich, received a miniscule, thin cheese spread sandwich, costing £3.50 for just this no sides with it, not worth the money at all compared to other deals at cafes we've been too. My son did not like the cheese spread,which is why I asked for grated. When I mentioned this to staff, that it didn't have grated cheese on, they said they didn't serve grated cheese on sandwiches to children ( even though it was on their general food menu with other dishes, so they had it in stock). They did remake this but told us that this was a one off and to next time not ask for it, the waitress was rude and was relying this message from the kitchen. We will not be eating there again as this was poor customer service.My son my very upset. We have been to plenty of other cafes who are more than happy to provide slight alternatives to food if necessary.

My brother in law and I cycle the 5 miles there on a Sunday morning to get breakfast. Always clean and fresh at the cafe with indoor and outdoor seating. The coffee and especially the bacon and egg barm are the best. Cooked to perfection every time. There is a caravan/camping site right next door ( walkable) and river side and parkland walks there too. Dog friendly and even a steam railway adjacent. Lots to do and perfect to blow off the cobwebs any time of year

AVOID!!! This place, which has the potential to be a lovely cafe REQUIRES A NEW MANAGER who knows how to speak to people and has even the basic level of customer service skills, unlike the current manager. I had an awful experience when I received something different to what I had ordered (as I am a normal, polite person, this was not a big problem and could be easily rectified by the staff when I told the manager who served us the food it was not what I had ordered). Instead of talking to me politely and offering to resolve the issue, she had a very nasty manner and was almost telling me off, I was made to feel like I was completely stupid and she had me on the verge of tears. I was shocked to learn that she is the manager as the way she spoke to me was so unprofessional and unwelcoming, I will never return to this cafe and would not recommend it to anyone. It is also ridiculously over priced.

Was staying at the caravan park across the way, went to the lamppost cafe twice for breakfast, excellent service, and the breakfast was one of the best I have had will definitely return ?

Located within Burrs Country Park is this hidden gem, lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and quality food and is dog friendly, the menu is not extensive, except at weekends, but what there is doesn't disappoint, look forward to visiting again.

Have visited several times with our dog usually good service, unfortunately not a good attitude today. We're made to feel un welcome with our daughter and her young child and baby today who were extremely well behaved.Lessons in how to speak to customers badly needed, especially by the lady who seemed to be in charge, sadly gave a very impression to our visiting daughter who does not to return. We had been looking forward to going, but it completely spoilt things.

Super reduced menu. £3 for toast that took 15 minutes to arrive, unbuttered, no jam. Super disappointed.

Staff very friendly and obliging. Choice of in/out seating available. Tea of good quality in large cup. The BLT in oven bottom bap was very tasty and recommendable the cheese and chutney sandwich also loads of cheese and again value for money. Would revisit

Very dog friendly cafe, great coffee. I always order a sausage and egg muffin. You can buy little dog treats too. Lovely and cosy in the winter and some outside seating for warmer days.

Been twice now. The first time we had a very tasty salmon & cream cheese bagel, with salad leaves which were excellent. The second time we popped in for 2 flat white coffees. They were superb and probably up there with the best we've ever had. Those Peruvian beans they use which are roasted in Manchester are a winner. A highly recommended cafe in a lovely beauty spot.

I had an amazing fry-up with the nicest black pudding I've had in ages. The staff were very nice and even the other clients were lovely engaging in warm exchanges with us as they relaxed and enjoyed their cappuccinos and snacks with their cute pooches. One of those places that's on my list to visit more often for sure! ?

Horrible experience, myself and my daughter were made to feel extremely unwelcome. Staff reluctant to find us a table as there were only two of us and the only tables they had seated 4 or more. When eventually we were seated (and by that I mean reluctantly asked to perch on the end of the largest table they had?!), we were then approached by who I think was the owner, in a very rude unfriendly manner, asking if someone (a member of her staff) had seated us there. Insinuating by her tone of voice that we had chosen the table ourselves and she was not happy about it as we had taken up 'valuable space'. When I informed her that we had indeed been seated there by a member of her staff, she was clearly annoyed and then proceeded to ask me to remove my daughter's small stroller pram and leave it outside. We are nice people and I have never been made to feel so unwelcome. Seems to be plenty of nice treatment for dogs, but not a mother and her very well behaved little girl. Isn't this meant to be a community cafe, where everyone is welcome? Certainly doesn't feel that way! Will absolutely not be returning and neither will the rest of my family, who on hearing about this were utterly horrified.

Great place. Warm and inviting. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. Dogs are very welcomeThey even have a stand where you can buy treats .

OK if you are a dog lover because they are allowed in. There are notices asking people not to have them on their knees and to take them out if they start barking. Some people ignored these requests.

Superb ambience, very clean and great customer service be that in or outside . Hot chocolate and Xmas cake were spot on . Highly recommend
