Catherine’s is a local treat for those in the know. Most customers are regular because they know a good thing when it’s presented to them on a plate! The daily specials include some home-made pies that’ll have you coming back for more, if you can find room!

An absolutely super brunch. Lots of homemade dishes to choose. Catherine is an excellent cook. The girls serving were also brilliant even though it took us ages to decide they were very patient. We didn’t want to leave as the place is super cosy but obviously other people also know this place so we couldn’t stay all day. We will definitely be back 😍

Visited this cafe for the first time on Saturday absolutely loved it. It was nearly closing time with about 25 minutes to go we got served food and a coffee with a smile. Food was great they even did scrambled egg on toast for my husband which wasn't on the menu. Would definitely come back here next time we visit Rochdale. Prices are good too and the staff are friendly.

I’m absolutely astonished at how rude the proprietor is . Politely asked could I place an order to receive a curt rude response with attitude reserved for a teenage tantrum!

The food is nice but the service is rude. I rang up today at 12:30 and nicely requested a sandwich. I was cut off half way through, in a very frank manner, and told I had missed the cut off and should have rang earlier as she had a funeral to go to. This is fair enough and I expressed my condolences by saying I was sorry to hear that but I got a curt bye and hung up on. 1. I didn't know that she had a funeral, so I wasn't happy that she reacted to me in that manner. Which came across as though it was my fault for ringing up at lunchtime and requesting a sandwich. A perfectly normal request in my view. 2. If you are closed/closing don't answer the phone instead of berating somebody for calling you. 3. I have had issues before with ringing up to request toasties/baguettes and being told 'no can't do that' or requesting a specific time to run out and get it. You get there and then it is only just put on, making me late. Basic customer service skills of being nice to people shouldn't be forgotten. I won't be using Catherine's anymore due to how I was made to feel today. This is a shame as I was enjoying supporting local as opposed to costa etc.

Went on thursday with 5 friends for one of Catherines special nights services ( make sure you book long waiting list it's that good ). We had a choice of 3 starters 2 mains and a medley off deserts. As a table we tried everything on the menu and nothing could be faulted. I had chicken and mango in a lettuce cup and it was brilliant. I followed up with salmon as a main which was cooked to perfection the other choice was pork loin again cooked to perfection for the whole table with no complaints. We had a medley of derserts Eton mess chocolate cheesecake and lemon tart and we finished up with a coffee. All staff were very professional and took a keen interest in everyone making sure everyone was ok. They dont serve alcohol but you can take your own in and they charge a very reasonable corkage fee.

A cafe by day and bistro on the occasional evening, our party of 12 friends were treated royally by Catherine and her staff on a Friday night (by arrangement) and enjoyed a superb home-cooked meal in an intimate setting.There were several amuse-bouche followed by a choice of 3 starters, 3 mains and then a trio of desserts (just as well because I couldn’t have chosen only one, as everything we’d had so far was five-star).This was an exceptional meal for a very reasonable price.

Went for a meal with a group of friends for the Thursday evening menu. Catherine catered brilliantly for the 2 vegetarians in the party. Food was all delicious and 3 courses for £20 is great value for the quantity and quality you get! There was a choice of 2 starters (spinach dumplings or pate on this occasion) and 2 mains (salmon or chicken), everyone also gets an amuse bouche on arrival and the dessert was an amazing selection of cheesecake, chocolate mousse and plum crumble. We will definitely be back and have already recommended to others.

Just been to Catherine's for a Bistro night with my family. I am absolutely amazed with the meal, the staff and the ambience. The food was exquisite, completely perfect in every way. A choice of two starters, 2 mains and a whole indulgence for dessert started with a selection of nibbles and delicacies. A table of clean plates as we devoured every last morsel. Our 5 year old came with and was catered to with a selection of goodies just for him and the staff were so wonderful. There is no licence which means you can take your own alcohol which we did and so enjoyed the amazing food with our own choice of wine. The delight in which the owner and staff presented the evening was contagious. As the bistro evening is every Thursday we will be booking to come again very quickly. Well done and thank you for the most beautiful evening and perfect food. Such a delight to have this gem in our own village! X

This small cafe in Norden is an absolute gem. Simple but excellent food which is well prepared and nicely presented. Coffees and hot chocloate are also brilliant. Service is excellent and the staff most welcoming and friendly. Prices are so reasonable for what you get. Apparently they open for evening meals on Thursdays only and you have to pre book. Definitely intend giving that a try sometime soon. All in all this cafe can be highly recommended.

two visits now, both for breakfast, first time was OK, not exciting and not quick, can get better for cheaper. Second visit the breakfast was better and more worthy of the price. First time helpful and pleasant staff and prompt. Second visit no assistance from staff, cleared tables but didn't clean up. With the lack of service or have my order taken after 10 mins we went and ordered from the kitchen and was then only offered a fork and no knife. it appears that you can get quicker and personal service if you are old and only want a toasted tea cake!!. Will give it another go, just to see if they get better or worse.

I'm guilty of not putting this review up nearly soon enough as this has been the location of choice for me, family, friends and basically anyone who we bump in to in the local area looking for a recommendation for a place to get first class coffee and food to match. The team are great and nothing is too much trouble. There is a really friendly and familiar atmosphere and this just gets better and better the more you visit. You'll quickly become familiar with regular faces and after tasting the food and drink you will understand what keeps them coming back. Seasonal specials come up throughout the year and I'd encourage anyone visiting to give them a try, then come back and try the others until you've done them all :) Coolers in the summer are a great refresher and the various hot chocolates in the winter help keep the chill at bay. Drop in and you won't regret it :)

I'd ordered a cake for my sons birthday about a week/2 weeks before his birthday, it came to the day and luckily I phoned preemptively at 10 to check if the cake was ready to pick up, it had not been made. Which in turn stressed me out, although I got a phonecall at 12ish to tell me my cake was ready. So I went to pick it up, I was given an apology for the messing about in the morning, and some free cupcakes. That and the cake had more than I asked for.. got it home and it was delicious and my son loved all his chickens. Thank you again the cake was beautiful

Staying with family for the weekend and one suggested Cherry Brekkie…..let’s have it! Very busy small cafe, seating about 35 people and was packed! Lucky to get a table! Cherry breakfast, buttered toast, 2 eggs to your liking, bacon, mushrooms, hash brown, black pudding, white pudding, beans, tomatoes and 2 amazing sausages, complemented by a cup of tea for only £10.75 !! Excellent service, simple menu, and quality food! Normally, you’d expect a cafe of this size and location to be serving Aldi fayre…..not a chance!! Will be back again and again
