Bluebells in Wigan

Great service, superb food and a large choice on the menu. this newly refitted eating place delivers it all, been 4 times now , never a single let down . The atmosohere is always good, friendly staff and excellent service. Our new go to for home made food at the highest standard...

This is my favourite cafe it’s always beautiful food and the staff are so friendly. My favourite it the shepherds pie it’s delicious

Been here several times with my friend, I decided to take my hubby for breakfast which he did enjoy But I was shocked when i paid the bill, i had been charged for tap water at £1.10, yet on the menu it says Still Water £1.10, I mentioned it to the young lady who served me that i only had tap water not bottled but it didn't make any difference, this is the 2nd time it's happened at Bluebell Cafe !! They will Not get a 3rd chance to charge me for tap water. Very disappointed customer

Been here more than once with my mum as she goes with her friends. Food is lovely, really well cooked. Fair prices for a good place. Thought I'd leave a review because they deserve it and look out for people.

After a morning out at an appointment we really wanted a “good breakfast!” Well we definitely found it here. The breakfast was amazing - those golden yolk egg were lush! Would highly recommend ⭐️

Good evening I have been to blue ball cafe in atherton there food taste great I had chicken curry and rice was definitely delicious please my people don’t miss out place your order now 😆😆

Food very tasty and very good portions. All cooked to order. The owner was friendly and welcoming. Thank you for the extras, that was very generous of you!

ABSOLUTELY GORGEOUS LUNCH TODAY. The partner had a burger, mother in law the jerk chicken and then a breakfast barm and tuna baked potato for the rest of the table. All the food was cooked absolutely gorgeously. The cafe had a photographer in to take pictures of food whilst we were there, and we were even offered free food to take home. We could not love this place more. Gingerbread coffee is a must have on a rainy day!

this cafe has recently been taken over by phil and peter come on in and try our all day breakfasts,homemade specials,freshly made soups hot and cold snacks you won;t be let down

We had driven from York to have a day out to visit Wigan Pier. On the way back we realised we needed to have something more substantial to eat than a sandwich. We stopped in Atherton and came across this cafe with a 5* Trip Advisor sticker on the window. Promising we thought. The cafe was homely and very clean. Comfortable straight back chairs, great for me as I have a bad back. No squashy sofas here! We ordered omelettes, which were fluffy and freshly cooked and arrived with salad and great tasting chips. The owner stayed late after the cafe had closed to provided puddings for us, bless him. I would thoroughly recommend this cafe. This standard of traditional home cooked food is hard to find nowadays. The prices are incredibly reasonable too.

Called in to this café as we had been recommended to try in as it is in the town centre. It seems that if you live locally, the man who owns it is friendly, but he seems to dislike people from outside his local area. We waited to order, but after 10 minutes of being ignored, we left the premises.

I am a Crohn’s sufferer and I needed the toilet pretty bad . I called in not to eat but to ask could I use the toilet . It was not a problem and they said if I ever needed the toilet just to call in . I am often refused . So I would just like to say a big thank you

What a nice little cafe, I came with a friend as I had just moved to Atherton. Loverly home cooked food and very friendly staff.

very nice cafe nice staff I had big breaky it was lovely. Nice tea will definitely go again A##not lot more tosay

It's good very friendly and helpful meals are reasonably priced and taste great nice and calm atmosphere lots to choose from Really recommend a visit here

Called into this cute little place this week whist visiting a friend who lives locally, nice looking place, décor nice and clean, food was passable but not a lot of it, handful of chips and I mean a handful, chicken burger I had was nice, found cans of drinks expensive at £1.20, id expect to pay that in with a pub meal, quite busy when we was there which was nice to see and shows the place is frequented by the locals, all in all its ok, guy serving us could have smiled a bit but you cant have everything

we came here because my parents had been here and recommended it, we wasnt dissappointed, it was amazing, such variety and choice and the atmosphere was lovely, its on the main street, has bathroom facilities and its brilliant, we both had the same to eat but my friend chose calmomile tea and i had a black coffee, it made a change from granuals and so tasty, we both had chesse and mushroom omelette my friend just had salad and i had salad and chips and it was lovely a right amount of everything, plus we had all the sauces on the table. We didnt have to wait long but we will be returning thats for sure, we saw others eating toasties and roast dinners yummy give it a try

We've been visiting here since it opened! Lovely home cooked food! Very clean and excellent value for money! The staff are so friendly and chatty - very welcoming!

Estado aquí dos o tres veces para el desayuno. La comida es absolutamente fabuloso, recién preparado con ingredientes de calidad. El servicio es genial, con el nivel de atención. La limpieza es excepcional, con una cocina que puedes ver. Me encanta este lugar, no puedo recomendar lo suficiente.

Fresh home cooking,everything I've eaten good.lovely little cafe ,spoiled by owner David storming round ,no smile,he's abrupt ,rude. Doesn't like children . He tells you were to sit,its ashame , little gem of a cafe ,with awful owner.

El desayuno de mi hija hace un par de semanas. Té, en las tazas de porcelana, un toque encantador. El desayuno era abundante y delicioso, disfruté bastante. , hacía calor y preparado de la manera que me gusta. Mi único deseo, habría sido de tomate fresco en lugar de lata. Mi hija tenía huevos escalfados sobre una tostada. En general, no un café malo.

Ignore other reviews on owner, he's a nice guy and had a good chat with us. The breakfast is lovely, can't wait to go back again when we can.

I have been in bluebell a couple of times, the owner is a moaning grumpy man , he wonders why he has no customer s, he moans to the customer s and sits with a grumpy face , people don't want to go for a coffee and listen to him, it's a shame as the cafe is nice , good is ok, this as put me off returning, so if you read this please change your attitude to save your business.

Estado viviendo en Atherton y siempre fuimos a starbucks o costa. Mi esposa y yo estábamos en el centro de la ciudad para mi hija lil y pensé que ir a una de las cafeterías de la zona.

Aunque la comida es de buen nivel, el propietario masculino es muy grosera. El camino nos habla de los clientes y comentarios de los clientes hace unos tras irse como aseguró que ya no frecuentan este café.

Beautiful little cafe, lovely space for children to go play, excellent service and the food is resturant quality... not a greasy spoon cafe (which i dont mind at all) but this is real quality meat from the butchers, organic, free range and u can really tell with the taste. Not been for a long time but will certainly go back when im in the area xx

Visited here a few times and always found the food to be lovely and really good value! Only downside is they have now taken away the little play area in the corner which is a shame as used to keep my toddler entertained for 5 mins so I could enjoy a hot coffee in peace! But aside from that the staff are very friendly and the food is fresh and reasonably priced- just what you want for a local cafe!

My friend and next door neighbour ate at the Bluebells Market St. only yesterday and it was amazing, fantastic service and beautiful food. I would give 10/10 lovely gentleman Dave I believe his name is. Fantastic We had a three egg omelette with ham and mushroom filling a portion of chips and salad and not just a garnish a bowl of salad. value for money £5.80 each and a large pot of tea for 2 and china cups and saucers I would highly recommend the Bluebells

I visit bluebells around once every month or so and have never had a bad experience. Whether its been popping in for a quick sandwich to go or sitting in for a meal. I have two young children and the owners are always very accommodating of them, they always try to seat me nearest to the play area in the corner which makes it so pleasant for myself and the kids. I always order them something as we often go for dinner but a few times the owner has said I don't need to as long as I am eating. I still would though even if its just a crumpet or a small snack as they would pinch my food otherwise haha! I also come here with my mum about four times a year and we really treat ourselves and have a pudding which are always amazing. I think the people who own the cafe are quite straight forward with how the speak but I've never found them rude, they even wave to me and my children when we walk past. I will be continuing my visits here for a long time!

I visit Bluebells every Saturday morning with my family for a freshly cooked breakfast. Nothing is too much trouble for the proprietor David and his lovely wife! The food is cooked to order and the cafe is spotlessly clean and well looked after. Highly recommended!

This was a lovely little cafe, since I moved to Atherton I was quite a regular. At first the owners seemed lovely and couldn't do enough for us, but over time he seemed to become very arrogant and moody like he really couldn't be bothered anymore. He gives you barely any time to consider what you want to order and looks at you like your an idiot if your unsure - he frantically pushes ideas to rush you! No one is allowed in with you if they are not having anything, including children. And when you have finished he is as good as pushing you out the door. Such a shame, lovely cafe ruined by rude owner.

This lovely little café was the first we tried for lunch when we moved to Atherton, a very satisfying lunch served hot and with friendly staff, I also visited here for breakfast one morning after an early doctors appointment and can recommend the breakfast cooked to order.

I was there couple of times with my better half for a breakfast. Atmosphere is nice, service very friendly and the place looks really clean.

Charming little cafe/restaurant, good service & reasonably priced. Located on High Street, easy to find.

Had breakfast here a few times. Really nice. They use good quality ingredients (eg not cheap catering sausage).Everything is cooked very well with great service. Very clean café. Lots of homemade dishes for lunches too but never been at that time yet.

Went here with my three boys. Thee service was great very friendly gentleman the food was very nice the kids finished all there meals. My meal was very good too. Would recommend friendly service and nice food.

We have been twice now to the bluebell cafe, the food was average for a cafe, it is nicely decorated, but the one thing that put us off, was the owner standing over us with his notepad, so we asked could we have a minute , so he gave us a look of why cant you just order, walked away and came back within a min...felt very uncomfortable..

On entering the cafe my intial thought is that im in for a treat.Cafe is nicely decorated in a shabby chic style.Im prepared to pay a little extra for somewhere nice.My latte arrives after 20 mins and is just warm.My scrambled eggs on a toasted 'muffin' arrives 10 mins later.The 'muffin' is a toasted barmcake and i wasnt feeling as i was having a treat it was more that the people running the cafe had made do with a barm.The scrambled eggs well, they were rubbery.I am very keen cook and anyone knows 2 seconds too long cooking scrambled eggs and they can go from creamy to rubbery rapidly.The menu is basic so for the cook to fail on scrambled eggs and muffin is shocking.I have also tried the breakfast which was okay but again the eggs were not great with a frazzled base.They say they use quality ingrediants but using quality ingrediants whilst messing up the cooking is pointless.I usually go to jigsaw and pay less than this cafe and it also better food and a 20 second walk away from here.i will stick to there in future.

Been a few times now and i do like it...always has a chat with me and makes me feel welcome...i like it....Nice hot fresh food,..No Probs at all...xx

First visit to this great little tearoom/cafe and although only called in for coffee we were welcomed like old friends and immediately felt comfortable.the quality of the coffee was excellent and every bit as good as coffee shops charging twice the price. There was a very tempting food menu on offer with homemade cakes on display(pity we weren't hungry) but will definitely sample some next time we visit.I don't understand anyone giving a bad review for the bluebell except that having worked in retail for fifty years I realise that there are folk out there who will never be pleased no matter how courteous or helpful you are.

I have been to this paticular coffee shop many times but not anymore.I went in to have a coffee and teacake to wait for my mother to finish work my mother came in after work to meet me by then i was almost done the owner came over ask my mother would she like anything my mum declined and said no thankyou just waiting for my son to finish his teacake.The owner asked rudely to my mother "am going to ask you to leave" he opened the door and my mum was polite and went but i could not believe this was happening.so all am saying whatever you do avoid this cafe at all cost if you have friend or family you want to meet there and they dont want to eat but you do just think because they might be waiting for you outside because they will be asked to leave by the ignorent owner avoid avoid at all cost

Our first visit to this delightful little cafe , adequate choice of food for lunch and of excellent quality for both soup starter and main course .Amazing value for both food and pot of tea Very clean cafe and friendly service , will certainly revisit when next in the area

I am a regular customer to Bluebells & have never been disappointed with the food and hospitality that Susan & David offer..They have lovely fresh home made food on offer Susan & her staff should be very proud of their kitchen skills & David is a very pleasant host always eager to have a chat with everyone very friendly and helpful. My daughter & son-inlaw are also regulars as are a lot of my friends Bluebells in my opinion is the best by far.Janet Lindsay

I visited Bluebells with my daughter, the food was realy good and china tea cups and saucers made a nice change to the usual mugs also lovely tea pots.

eaten here on a number of occasions and it has always been good, the service is always excellent and the food just the same,the large full english is great and very reasonably priced, and they always spend a couple of minutes to talk to our 3 young children, no doubt we will be eating here sometime again very soon

I was in England to visit my best friend of 49 years and her sisters who all moved back after graduating school here in the states. We were meeting with 2 of her sisters at Bluebells for lunch and tea. One of the sisters was going to be later as she just finished work and was driving separately. Three of us went in and ordered as she had a snack at the end of her shift. We ordered and the sandwiches came as she walked in. She was asked if she was ordering and she had to think on it a minute. Well less than a minute later the owner came back and asked again if she was ordering. She said no, she wasn't hungry or thirsty. He hastily pointed to a sign stating that if she didn't order she had to leave. Well the three of us already at a table for 4 had food before us and it was a full lunch. We were struck dumb by his lack of manners and the sister was so upset she just got up and left. I had barely any time to visit with her. We were upset as well. We asked the owners wife to come talk to us and she was even more rude and loud than he was. The whole full restaurant heard her announcing that if you don't order you leave! I asked her if she planned to sit a stranger at our table with us and she told me that wasn't the point. Well we could not eat anything we were so thrown off the food by the lack of good customer service and the rudeness displayed by both owners. We said we couldn't eat the food we were so upset. She told us we could leave without paying, but not to come back. Well in no time at all the three of us stood and left. We were totally upset by he way we were treated. Our lunch time was ruined and I missed the opportunity to visit with a friend while I was there. My recommendation is to avoid this place at all cost. The food we had wasn't worth the misery it caused.An added note this was my second visit and they advertise on their Facebook page fish & chips but both times there they didn't have it to serve. My recommendation is there are numerous pubs and cafes that serve good food, avoid this one it isn't worth the time of day!

I've visited bluebells a couple of times now and was pleased with my choice of food, the teapot leaked quite a lot on one of my visits but the bone china tea cup and saucer made up for that, they are lovely and I loved all the different tea pots.They have a choice of specials and are very happy to provide whatever they can within reason! Friendly staff. Reminds me a bit of Roy's Rolls on Corrie!I'd eat here again.

We are regular breakfast eaters at bluebells :) always a smile and a warm welcome from all staff!Food is lovely my partner loves the bacon cheese and mushroom baguette or the steak and cheese baguette!

Service is fantastic, food is great along with an amazing atmosphere will deffintly be revisiting! Plus the hot blonde who serves is a plus!

A nice little call- in café. Staff very pleasant and food very nice - freshly prepared as you wait. Newspapers to read while you wait. Coffee area with comfy couches.

This is probably the best cafe around,in Atherton.Since my last review of Bluebells cafe.I have visited this cafe many times and have since sampled a lot more food choices on the BlueBells cafe menu from quick snacks such as Toasted tea cakes,crumpets through to more substantial meals and deserts.Every time i visit the cafe,the service that i receive is very professional,efficient,and the staff who work here,go out of they way to be of service to you. I have never had to wait longer than a few mins to receive my food order and tea or Cappuccino coffee when i have visited BlueBells.The homemade pie and chips,that i once had here was lovely,and very fresh.I also had a desert which was a carrot cake at the time and that just melted in your mouth.I wouldn't have any hesitation whatsoever in recommending Bluebells to any of my fellow Tripadvisor travellers who are looking for a very friendly cafe,which offers inexpensive meals and a fantastic service.

Myself my wife and my two children love the breakfast on offer in Bluebells.The food is all fresh especially the eggs and the sausages are delicious. There is a handy play area for the children while we wait for the hot freshly cooked food to arrive.Coffee is great and tea is served in a tea pot with bone china mugs.Freshly baked deserts are also displayed which we have been tempted with and would recommend the egg custard. Take away is also an option if your on the go.A family run business driving a high quality food offering in a local town community. Give Bluebells a try and you won't be disappointed.

I come in all the time ever since it opened and have always walked away feeling happy my son who is autistic is very fussy with his food and hates cheap nasty sausage which all the other cafés seem to serve in Atherton. However, Bluebells serves up chipolata sausage like the ones you find on the extra special shelf at your local supermarket.Friendly atmosphere, home made food, always accommodating,, love it here highly recommend

Went in today for an all day breakfast, unfortunately the day must end in Atherton at 12 noon! On the whole it was just about ok, but the worst of it is the underlying smell of old cooking fat, very cloying. Shall stick to Witherspoons in future.

Having recently moved into the area my daughter and I decided to venture out for some food and having looked at a few cafés from the outside this looked the nicest.Great choice on the menu and the specials boards. We opted for cheese tomato and onion toasties, a coffee and milkshake. Coffee was lovely and my daughters milkshake was huge topped with marshmallows. Food was beautifully presented with a bright fresh salad and toasties were huge and very tasty.Staff were very friendly and helpful and the owner was happy and chatty. I highly recommend this little gem and I have now found our new breakfast/lunch venue!

Strange how someone sets themselves up as a 'foodie' and slates a business. Ive been in Bluebells at least 30 times and have tasted most of its menu. The owners are dedicated to creating a beautiful little haven with delightful home made food and they have succeeded. I managed to chat with the owner a couple of times and realise what he is doing. Bluebells feels customers deserve the best, a super clean environment run well with fantastic food and they do it over and over again. They believe their cusomers deserve the highest standards. As for the door, yes it sticks, but there isnt a draft and it makes it quite oldy worldy. Ive sat in Bluebells had a lovely bite to eat and a cup of tea and watched the world go by through its quaint arched windows and not realised how much time had passed. I would certainly recommend it.

Toasted tea cakes,home made scones,crumpets and hot warm coffee served by friendly staff.Would recommend this cafe

Oh Dear..... this is not what i expected.... my choice a quick snack to eat, poached eggs on toast with a pot of tea. The menu is small and simple, typical cafe snacks with a daily specials menu with 2 or 3 items chalked on, but according to the waitress although its 12.30 the lunch specials are not available YET!!! So i order and here's what i get. First, a cold wind blowing through the cafe as the front door doesn't shut properly, everyone in here seems a little annoyed with this as if its a regular thing, the tables rock from side to side and many have cardboard wedged under one leg to try and balance them. The cafe was busy for its size about 16 customers with 5 staff, My pot of tea takes 20 minutes to arrive, and my poached eggs on toast follow 10 minutes later, the toast was ok, the eggs were very well done, completely dry even adding a little sauce can't help. I feel like i should say something, however the young waitress is trying very hard with little support from the others, i decided not to add to her misery. There's plenty of cafes etc in Atherton but unfortunately Bluebells doesn't stand out from the crowd.

Always pop in with my dad who's 90 and loves the massive crumpets! Good coffee and some nice scones and cakes...reasonable prices too....
