Chapeau! Cafe & Farm Shop in Cheshire East - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

Went in for a quick coffee,and ended up staying for Lunch,I had an all day breakfast,wow from the first until the last mouthful,it was HOT tasteful satisfying and delicious,I will certainly be going again,the staff were also amazing,friendly helpful and really easy to talk to.

We arrived at this lovely cafe, just before 2.30pm on Sunday, just as they were about to finish serving food. However, they said they could feed us, which was so kind of them. We absolutely loved the cafe - the ambience, the staff and the food. Well worth all the five star reviews they have received.

Hadn't visited for a while and new owners I think; genuinely friendly people, happily chatting with the customers. My friend and I plumped for the sausage breakfast bap and it was outstanding in every way. So good in fact that I came back three days later with family and friends. Get there early if you want to avoid the cyclists and their mud and their lycra, they clogged up the place like they clog up the roads. Be back soon.

Perfect coffee and fresh high quality ingredients made into delicious meals by people who understand food. The coffee is carefully made to preserve the natural crema with not even a hint of bitterness or burnt taste that's so often an issue with cafe coffee. Also had a sausage, tomato and egg barm, high quality ingredients served in a freshly made bread roll - proper bread - absolutely delicious. Keep up the good work, Erica!

Visited today for a family breakfast. The food was lush and the service was great. Smashing location too, and the cafe was spotless. Would highly recommend

Probably the best veggie breakfast I have purchased, and I’ve had a few. Portion size was good, without being excessive. Was t greasy at all, sausages cooked well and eggs still runny. Coffee was good and strong, service was friendly and quick without being rushed. Couldn’t ask for more.

I took my mum to The Old Barn in Marton, for afternoon tea yesterday to celebrate her birthday. What a pleasure and joy the whole experience was. I cannot recommend this little cafe highly enough. It really is the best around by a country mile. From start to finish the experience was outstanding. I have been a few times now and it’s always been fantastic weather for a coffee and cake, lunch or an ice cream. The owner and all her staff are lovely - so relaxed, friendly, professional and welcoming. You have to book ahead for an afternoon tea, upon which you can give your dietary requirements - everything is catered for, and also your preferences!! I always go with their recommendations and you will not be disappointed. We had the most delightful bruschetta with hummus and harissa which was delicious. There was a savoury cheese scone with a ploughman’s filling and the most exquisite onion chutney, delicately spiced. We then had four varieties of finger sandwiches - each made with fresh, soft bread and the most fluffy and light fillings. The cheese and onion, and cucumber, cream cheese and dill dressing sandwiches were our favourites. They were remarkable. The chicken and avocado finger sandwiches were also yummy. Moving on…there was mini chocolate eclairs with the freshest and lightest of cream, chewy macaroons to die for - they were divine, moist and unctuous Victoria Sandwich, the most flavoursome and sweet strawberries ever! I haven’t tasted strawberries that good in years!! And of course floaty light and moist fresh scones with clotted cream and jam!! I can’t tell you how good every single thing was. Everything was considered and thought though. All was homemade. It truely was a triumph! I have had lots of afternoon teas in many establishments over the years, including rather expensive ones in top hotels but this is the best I’ve ever had. I don’t think it can be beat - it was that good. Incredible value for money. You can upgrade and have Prosecco too. They also do gift vouchers for their afternoon teas which I can whole heartedly recommend. I can’t imagine a better gift. Any recipient would not be disappointed. Spot on. Thank you The Old Barn. I will be back! Note: they’ll also package up anything you can’t manage for you to take home!!

What a wonderful cafe the Old Barn is! Both waitresses were very friendly, efficient & smiley. The food was exceptional & cooked to a very high standard. The chips were quite simply the best I have ever tasted & I’ve had a lot in 50 odd years. The cheese & onion pie was delicious…the pastry & the filling. The cakes looked scrumptious but we were too full. Next time!

Fabulous service as always alongside delicious homecooked food. We were a party of 10 including 4 children and everybody enjoyed their lunch. Ed’s steak and ale pie, roast pork and stuffing sandwich, and eggs Benedict were all perfect and of a high quality. We especially appreciated how accommodating they were for the young children in our group, even making a special lunch for the weaning baby. We visited on a busy Saturday lunchtime but service was fantastic and we did not feel rushed. See you again soon!

Quite frankly, the best chips I have ever tasted, I'm not really a chip person but we came in December after a recommendation from our biker Friends and we were not disappointed then but this weekend the chips and steak sandwich were awesome, very nice staff not at all fazed by a load of bikers landing for food. Very full inside so we sat outside and the food arrived very quickly and was lovely. Can highly recommend.

The Old Barn is our favorite local place to eat. The food is homemade, fab selection @ fresh products. The staff are really, genuinly lovely & make you feel so welcome. So refreshing, to find a place like this now days Totally recommend. 👍😊

Brilliant place for a really good brekky. ave been here with my grown upgrandchildren many times, in fact I chose to come here with my husband to celebrate our silver wedding anniversary. Food excellent, staff really friendly and welcoming atmosphere warm and welcoming - what more can you ask - if you are passing, don't pass drop in.

Great little coffee stop, popular with Sunday cyclist , The young lady that served us (only with coffee & toast ) was really very good and so pleasant, I joy to behold such great service

This place was recommended by a friend and when we found ourselves passing we called in and really glad we did as they have a good range on their menu, I had a gammon steak to die for and proper homemade chips, egg, pineapple and peas at a price that would be hard to beat. Staff were lovely. Only bit of a draw back for me was that I would have preferred a mug of tea, not a pot but we will be back...

Having won vouchers in a charity raffle we finally ventured out of Worsley to take a trip with the sun shining high in the sky And wow we weren't disappointed from the moment we arrived greeted by beaming smiles from the friendly staff to the moment we left with bellies full They say make great food and they will come...and by the way the staff knew half the customers by name...it must be true Dogs are welcome which for is is a bonus must and with gorgeous seating inside or out...they weren't fussed The whole experience was relaxed no pressure...just do it at your pace The homemade mushroom soup and amazing bread is as good as you are gonna get And then for the steak ceaser full of meat and true What can I say but thank you for an amazing visit The homemade cakes made it home...but were devoured in one sitting

We have visited a number of times for coffee and cake but first time for breakfast today. The pancakes in particularly were excellent as was the smoked salmon bagel. Service was prompt and friendly.

Called in after finding it an old guide book and being attracted by the fact that it was a cycling cafe called Chapeau. As it turned out it is now called The Old Barn and does still have a few cycling bits on the wall....

This cafe is a must visit. There is the wide and varied menu ranging from just a lovely slice of cake to hearty fish n chips. The chips are proper home cooked chips and probably the best I’ve ever tasted. Staff and owners are very...

This has become our favourite stopping off point. Delicious food and a warm welcome. The steak sandwiches with special sauce are delicious the cakes look fabulous

First time visiting and omg, delicious food and really nice people will definitely be going back. A great menu at good prices. Cakes looked amazing will be trying them next time! We sat outside with our dog which was lovely.

If you want a breakfast that is substantial, bursting with quality ingredients and cooked to perfection this is the place. We visited for the second time today and the breakfast really does rival the very best establishments in London’s Piccadilly. The scrambled egg is uplifting...

Now definitely our favourite place, After travelling halfway round the world and eaten out everyday, we arrive back a still vote this as the best stop off eating place we've been! Steak sandwich with peppercorn & brandy sauce to die for!! New additions shortly to...

We stopped for a family lunch out and were really impressed. The food was lovely, gastropub more than cafe, everything we ordered was really tasty and the chips are amazing! The staff we're also fantastic, we had a new baby who struggled in the heat...

Great full English and breakfast rolls - the sausages were really tasty! Lovely coffee too. Lots of space outside if it’s sunny and the inside is spotlessly clean. Highly recommend.

My wife and I visited for the first time today, for lunch with daughter, son-in-law and our two dogs. I believe this is the first day of opening for The Old Barn post-lockdown. From start to finish everything was just perfect. Lovely, friendly welcome and...

Thought we were stopping off at Chapeau but it turned out to be a new and improved The Old Barn. Excellent bacon roll and sausage roll in beautiful floury bap lightly toasted. Utterly delicious. Well worth the stop, even though it turned out to be...

Best bacon sandwiches in Cheshire! Yummy cakes and generally fab food! Plenty of parking and friendly staffM

Great breakfast! Lovely staff! So close to us but never realised it was there really! We will be back soon!

Met a friend who's been poorly and being more or less half way, The Old Barn fitted the bill perfectly. Fairly busy, usual cyclists - they love it here, but we got the leather sofas, comfy. Lovely service as always, there were no pies left...

Someone should change the name on here, if I can negotiate the Help Centre section of TA, I will do it. Note: Winter opening hours - 10 am and closed Monday and Tuesday if I remember rightly. Just opened when we arrived but it was...

Been here a few times and it’s a lovely place to come. The toasties are lovely and I can’t recommend the milkshakes enough. Really nice place, gets busy as it seemingly is popular with cyclists, but don’t let this put you off, it’s a nice...

Stopped on Sunday afternoon and between us has soup (v.good) Welsh rarebit (8/10) cake (9/10) and teas. All really nice and the staff very helpful (can't agree with the negative comment on an earlier review about the younger staff members - they were very good). Now the Old Barn rather than Chapeau! So make sure you don't drive past - the sign isn't easy to see in its subtle and tasteful colours - but if you see the La Popote restaurant sign its in the same group of buildings. Best cake for miles.

Thanks to all the Staff who looked after the Pro Vision RC team yesterday, 5* service 5* food, see you all again soon.

I used to stop here all the time when cycling, and the place has just been renamed "the barn cafe" for some reason, but it's the same owner I'm told. The pies are absolutely excellent, and the breakfasts also very good, but the younger staff members aren't especially well trained which leads to delays and confusion at busy times. The cakes are also really good, but I would really like to see a dedicated gluten free menu. The branding is now new which I'm sad about as the "Chapeau!" brand was very widely known. But, I would recommend for the food. Only real negative is the door! It won't open fully and is stuff when it reache the half way point which means its easy to bang your arm/shoulder on it when you think it's going to open wider than it is.

Stopped in for lunch on a sunny Sunday. Delicious coffees and food with lots of options for vegetrians (we had quiche and chips and also a full English breakfast) The staff were very warm and welcoming and there's lots of seating inside as well as outside in the sun. Chapeau Cafe is also dog friendly which is a big plus. Definitely recommend.

Great little to stop for a break on a bike ride, enjoyed the coffee and cake (could be better with Gluten free as may daughter could not have them) Nice clean little cafe with plenty of room outside if the weather is good. Staff were very friendly would highly recommend a visit, will return.

We came along on a busy Saturday for a quick brunch and we were served quickly and efficiently. The food was unrivalled with anywhere in the local area. There is definitely something for everyone here - vegetarians are spoilt for choice!Staff were very helpful and the owner had a really friendly chat with us. Chapeau! is a must go!

Lovely staff serving smashing food. Cafe is nice, clean and cosy inside, with lots of room outside to enjoy your food and drinks in the sun. I've eaten here before and will certainly come again.

Popped in for breakfast on Saturday morning, a pot of tea and Eggs Royale. Service was quick and friendly, and the food was absolutely amazing, as always! Lovely, friendly staff, great menu, and delicious food every time, and a lovely little cafe in a great location.

Called today around lunch time, it wasn't too busy nobody inside & about 20 cyclists outside enjoying the beautiful weather. Ordered a diet coke & cappuccino, waited at least 30mins & no drinks arrived went back inside to ask if they'd forgotten our order to which they said they had & apologised. Reordered & waited another 10/15 mins & still no drinks. At this point we decided it'd be quicker to go home & make our own. We've called previously after walking & always been happy but certainly not today. Very dissatisfied customer.

I call in here every few weeks or sometimes more frequently. It’s a favourite cycling venue but it caters for everyone. I’m usually here for breakfast and they do the best scrambled egg and bacon you can find. The food selection goes a lot wider than that but I haven’t ventured beyond my bacon and egg. Staff are always exceptionally pleasant. My favourite cycling venue by some distance

I have visited the cafe on a few occasions now and have loved the food every time. Staff are always lovely and happy to help. Perfect for taking the dog as there are plenty of walks nearby and right next door is a cute little dog shop with lots of treats for the pooches. Can't wait to visit again :)

Great cafe in lovely setting, homemade soup was fantastic. Staff excellent. Really worth a visit - great for kids and have also been to visit when out cycling - brilliant coffee and cake stop for cyclists 😎🚴🏻‍♂️

I recently visited this cafe with my friend after attending an appointment in the local area.

Having just come from a day out walking the dog and little one. We came across this this cafe. It serve fantastic food, good coffee and ice cream. What more do you need ? The staff member Bella, served us quickly explained that it may be a little bit of time for food and drink but it will be nice, fresh and good quality. It was exactly as said. The ice Cream was well presented, good quality and the cones crisp. Bella then came back around and asked if everything was ok and if we needed anything.

Stopped last week ordered cheese something. Waitress said it was changed to cheese toastie.couldnt belive she wanted £8.95 for a cheese toastie. Avoid

We’ve visited before and enjoyed the wide menu but there was less choice today and a number of staple items (eg excellent signature pies, fish finger rolls) were surprisingly unavailable at 12.45 when we ordered. We tried the loaded chips which were very tasty and a generous portion size. The caked looked amazing as always but we managed to resist. There’s a change to the layout in that the farm shop is closed but seems to be taking off as a games venue at the weekend. I think the management has changed from what we heard from the waitress.

Excellent menu, quick recognition to take order for breakfast, approx 10 30am on Saturday 16th February 2018. Restaurant half empty, with approx 12 customers at tables. Waitress returned to inform us that it would be at LEAST 20 minutes, as Chef rather busy! We of course, left without eating.

Really enjoyed the food here today.

After a night on the pop my hubby and I had the munchies and decided to treat ourselves to a full English Breakfast and we knew just where to go! Chapeau do the most fabulous breakfast but be warned it is big... sausages, bacon, eggs, Black pudding, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes, toast and tea. It was piping hot, plentiful and extremely tasty. Chapeau is a popular hot spot for cyclists calling to recharge their batteries with a pot of tea and slice of cake. If you like cake you will love it here as there are lots of delicious choices. Chapeau is set back off the A34 but don’t worry there is a free car park just at the front of the restaurant. It goes without saying we will be back.

Stopped here for a few and chocolate...Lovely cafe well presented, and friendly staff...not particularly expensive - so don't understand some...

Wanted to buy some good quality meat so found this place on internet. Website very misleading, shows photos of fruit and veg and meat and gives impression of a big shop.

Paramos aquí para el almuerzo a mitad de camino en nuestro paseo en bicicleta. Fabulosa casa de hamburguesas gourmet hechos - probablemente el mejor que he probado nunca. Tendría cinco estrellas si mi botella de IPA había sido refrigerados. Sin duda regresaremos.

Bien situado entre los picos y carriles bici. Rutas Cheshire Buena para mantener niveles de pasteles de energía

Had the chapeau breakfast, best full English we have ever had. Good quality and excellently cooked. Little expensive but worth it.

Food on the expensive side for a cafe and limited menu but reasonable parking and nice clean environment. Food is pleasant but even sandwich and a cuppa come up pricey for a lunch at a small cafe. Lots of in house chat (and behind cupped hands whispering) between staff members can be a bit off putting in such a small place. Apart from that nice enough.

Went for Lunch at the Chapeau Cafe, a favourite of my husband and his cycling club - Chorlton Revolutionists but i had never been there. Well that will now be a thing of the past. What a fabulous, charming cafe with super cheerie helpful staff. What lovely clean premises. On entry i desired a pie - unfortunately all the home made chicken & mushroom pies had already been scoffed. So i ordered a burger with stilton & bacon served with tripple cooked chips, salad and homemade coleslaw - it was superb. The burger was surrounded by a beautiful bread cob, there was thick tasty bacon on it with a generous amount of stilton cheese and also a lovely caramelised chutney. Can't believe i managed to eat it all. Beautifully cooked, wonderfully presented. Don't think you could go wrong at all here. Thank You Chef and Staff.

This cycle friendly cafe is quality, it's food and drink is second to none. The staff are friendly and efficient too. Prices seem quite reasonable. Always seems busy too.

Great destination for a quick coffee and sandwich, full breakfast (highly recommended) or a three course meal - friendly service, great choice and good overall value - we love it!

We discovered Chapeau! when looking for somewhere to go for a Sunday breakfast – what a lucky find! I had the full English breakfast and enjoyed every mouthful. The menu was extensive, lots of choices for breakfast from a teacake to the Full Monty, sandwiches, 3 quiches of the day, various soups of the day, and a tempting range of homemade cakes on the counter. There was a large choice of hot and cold soft drinks, wines and beer. Far more choice of food and drink than you’d expect from a humble café. Plus – there is a farm shop on-site! We bought the Sultana & Treacle cookies (12 for £1.90) – they were delicious!I was also pleasantly surprised by the nappy changing facilities. The toilets were clean and fresh, and rather pretty. The waitresses were really lovely too.It was a bit chilly when we arrived mid-morning. The radiators were switched on though, it’s just a cold building. Despite this our food stayed hot, as did my tea, which was still hot in the pot 45 minutes later. I was much warmer when I’d finished. I would suggest that the chairs all have cushions on – I found a cushion on one of the chairs which did take the edge off.

Was here yesterday after a nice walk with family had a lovely lunch very friendly staff my compliments to the chef quiet a few of us all wanting different meals excellent service

Have called a couple of times for drinks and so decided to try the food.Bright and airy modern cafe which always seems busy.Good choice of food which is freshly prepared and very tasty. The toasted sandwiches and soup being our favourites.Friendly and efficient service too.Will return soon.

I've eaten here a few times, usually during a cycling trip. Food is prepared with more care and is better quality than most cafe's, but the prices are slightly (not much) higher. Great cafe and would recommend to anyone.

We just stopped for morning coffee and teacakes mid-journey. Good strong coffee and very tasty teacakes, when they arrived! We waited 15 minutes, by which time we'd almost finished our coffees, and when we asked it was obvious our teacakes order had been forgotten.They arrived soon after and they were delicious, and we were given two more coffees as apology.A good place to while away the morning with papers and magazines to read and a gift shop and farm shop next door, but we wouldn't stop for a quick coffee again.

I went to this cafe for lunch with friends en route to Manchester Airport. We had the stilton quiche with chips and salad, the best iv tasted. The food and service are excellent

We stopped for lunch there. I had the club sandwich. The chorizo on it with the other ingredients, gave it a zesty taste. It was very good. So were the wrap and quiche my friends had.

I visited Chapeau! on Saturday. When I pulled up in the car park I noticed it was extremely busy but I considered this to be a good sign as I heard good things about the cafe. I had a sausage barm which I had to wait half an hour for. I didn't mind this as it was really good and you can tell it was freshly made! I was served by lovely staff who were friendly and helpful and presented the cafe well. However I noticed they were struggling to cope with handling the shear amount of food orders coming through and were having to deal with some complaints about waiting times which I considered to be unfair as the you could tell the food was fresh cooked. I really think it might be beneficial if there were more waiting on staff as when the cafe was full 3 wasn't really enough to do all the things required. However I still really enjoyed my visit and will definitely be returning!

We have been regular customers at the Chapeau for three or four years now and I never thought to write a review, that's not strictly true, I didn't write a review as didn't want to share the good news, selfish I know, but some things are not meant to be shared and this place is right up there with Champagne and strawberries or truffle chocs. Anyway then, we came back in July for lunch and I had a bowl of french onion soup and it was spectacular,better than the restaurant at Gare du Nord station in Paris 30 years ago which has been a yardstick for FOS. So now I had a new favourite and I just had to tell everyone, why couldn't they have just made an excellent soup instead of blowing my mind. So go and try this place it is very, very good, Order the FOS and if if it's not on the menu then gently complain. It's not a cafe, it's not a restaurant, it's a place that sells great food.

A friend and I visited for lunch and were absolutely delighted with the food and service. We ordered the smoked salmon, cream cheese and asparagus quiche and eggs royale. The quiche was made with the shortest pastry I have ever tasted, and came generously accompanied by triple cooked chips (better than those we have tasted at Michelin starred restaurants....), coleslaw and side salad. The eggs royale were part of the all-day breakfast items and were perfectly poached. Very nice service and the restaurant was full by 1pm. We must go back more often!!

Over the last few weeks I've made many visit to this cafe. It's a cafe with a sparkle. Lovely homemade fresh food with a twist of passion and flare from the kitchen and lovely friendly service too. I can't fault this place. A firm favourite of mine for lunch now. The lamb burger yesterday was stunning as was the haddock fish finger butty today..... As was all the other food I've had the pleasure of trying. Keep it up.

I arranged a business meeting at a venue half way . My client suggested this place and what a great place to meet .The drive through rural Cheshire was gorgeous and this village has a really lovely feel.The cafe was very inviting , the staff just lovely and service food and drink great .We sat on the comfy settee .Really worth a trip out , only probably 20 minutes from Macclesfield but feels like an unspoilt part of the world .They have a farm shop as well that is worth popping in.to .Definitely a place to visit for business or pleasure.

Had a great time at this lovely well stocked café. Plenty of choice, lovely service from knowledgeable staff and nicely served food. Good place to call for coffee and cake or something a little bit more

We have visited the cafe on a number of occasions now and each time we go the food is amazing, and the staff are so friendly and helpful you can't fault it. We always recommend it and will be visiting again soon.

We had fun at the Pudding Night at Chapeau last night. 6 home made puddings to eat and rate! A delicious Sticky Toffee pudding won hands down. A really well organised evening, good fun and left feeling VERY full!

I visited chapeau! with my mum & couldn't fault it! The food was excellent - we both had the homemade quiche of the day with triple cooked chips! Yum! The staff were lovely & even boxed up some cakes for us to take away as we were too full but didn't want to miss out!! - the cakes are just as delicious as the food! We will definitely be returning!!

15 of us visited this lovely cafe on our way to London for the cup final and we were made to feel so welcome by the staff. The breakfasts were so lovely and with free top ups of tea such great value for money. I had the Welsh Rarebit which I have to say was the best I'd ever tasted.. Just perfect! Others had a variety of eggs, sausages, bacon, mushrooms, tomatoes, black pudding, salmon...So much choice and all cooked to perfection.Thank you Chapeau, we'll come back and visit again next time we go to win the cup

We went for brunch, really good, food is excellent and friendly, helpful service, have also been with grandchildren, very family friendly

Have just visited this Cafe on a Sunday drive out, asked to wait for twenty minute for a food, not a problem , we where not in a rush 35 mins later no food, had to ask why the food was not at the table, few minutes later it arrived , if you had waited 35mins 1 Welsh Rarebit, 1 Breakfast, 1 Eggs Benedict youWould expect the food to be hot.Eggs Benedict was solid, eggs and sauce were congealed, all the food was cold, we said we would leave it. I was not paying for cold food and a 35 min wait.My wife, daughter and I where challenged by the manager on the way out, "We need a conversation" see said , we explained the problem, she spoke across us every time we spoke, she was so rude and was not interested in listen to us. Her. parting sentence was " You better go somewhere that meets you expectations " RudeIt turns out that this manager is one of the directors, shame on you for poor customer service and bad food

Stumbled across Chapeau on the way home and enjoyed a delicious cup of coffee and slice of cake. Deli style food looked delicious and we'll certainly be back to sample very soon. Only downside was the restaurant was cold and had to keep my coat on!

Have to say that this is probably one of my most favourite places to have lunch and visited often over the last 12 months and whenever I go I'm not disappointed. Lovely fresh food always beautifully cooked, presented well and generous portions. Only downside is they don't open in the evenings or do Sunday lunch.

Brought my kids here after a long walk. The staff were friendly and very helpful as I can't eat gluten. The meals were fresh, delicious and the atmosphere delightful. Well worth a stop!

Arrived with a group of 10 cycle friends, as this is a specialist cafe for cyclists, only to find many other cyclists there and the cafe was full. The owner and staff were very welcoming and set up tables and chairs in the farm shop for us. Despite the cafe being full we were served quickly. I found the food prices a little more expensive than most local cafes, but the quality of the food was very good. Well worth a visit

A lovely atmosphere and excellent food. There is an excellent selection of light lunch items and a few specials. Everything made fresh to order with excellent ingredients. The staff were very friendly and we had a really lovely time.

I visited Chapeau! with two friends for a spot of lunch. On arrival the staff were very welcoming, smiley and friendly. All of our meals were of excellent quality, freshly prepared, hot and extremely delicious! The cafe is delightfully decorated, clean and cosy! It was my second visit to chapeau! but the first time i have eaten there. I will definitely be returning and have been recommending the cafe to friends! I need to sample the lovely cakes that were on display!

After a last minute decision to go out for lunch at the eleventh hour we arrived at the Chapeau Cafe and Farm Shop,We were greeted warmly and even though it was quite late for lunch we were given the choice of the full menu to choose from ! Nothing was too much trouble and our order arrived in good time and fresh.Deffo going back soon ! Thanks again for a great lunch.

Myself and a few of my friends popped into chapeau for a spot of lunch. The staff were very helpful especially when it came to accommodating my friends special dietary requirements. There's a good selection of very reasonably priced food on the menu and the selection of cakes was awesome.We will definitely be back soon!

We visited chapeau recently with friends for lunch. Not a greasy spoon in sight, all of our meals were freshly cooked to perfection and absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend the steak and ale pie, but all of the specials looked fabulous and portion sizes are generous.Service was with a smile - our order was taken and we were served our drinks within minutes of sitting down, but weren't rushed out like we have experienced at other cafes on busy Saturday lunchtimes. Definitely have a browse in the farm shop, I can never manage to leave without something taking my fancy! I tried the salt and vinegar "slabs" at weekend which were very different but delicious!

I visited the cafe yesterday with my mum and daughter for mum's birthday treat...what a lovely friendly place! This is the third time i have visited and wont be the last.From the moment we arrived we were greeted with lovely staff who couldn't do enough for us. My mum is a fussy eater and was guaranteed to be picky but i have to say, its the first time Ive seen her clear her plate! We ordered a combination of quiche and club sandwiches between us...the crispy potato skins were delicious as was the quiche.The wait time, approx 20 mins, was as expected given they only serve freshly cooked food and you could tell...so much so that my mum purchased some sausage rolls from the shop (connected to the cafe) for her supper...Ive never seen so much meat in a sausage roll...must get that recipe!i kindly asked the young waitress if they would make a fuss of my mum, given it was her birthday and she was only too happy to oblige...bringing a beautiful slice of cake just for her...unfortunately my daughter had to help her finish it as she was full from dinner, but from the gleam on mums face, she had a lovely time.Thanks Chapeau for making her birthday special, will definitely see you again soonhighly recommended

Been here a few times, always had service with a smile, and the food is good quality too. Would definitely recommend!

I've eaten here twice in the last few weeks and both times had poor food and/or service.The first visit, I ordered a quiche. This seemed to have been nuked in a microwave then stuck under a grill to fake being freshly cooked. I would rather have had a cold or room temperature quiche than the half-burnt chewy offering that I was presented with. On my second visit I ordered a club sandwich. First mistake was to order a club sandwich which had chicken and chorizo - why use fatty chorizo when bacon is obviously being used regularly for the breakfasts? Then we had to wait over half an hour to be served, although when we arrived for lunch the place was nearly empty. We hadn't been asked if we wanted white or brown bread so it arrived in white factory bread.In future I will go to the Davenport Arms opposite this cafe, where I have had a number of good meals served by pleasant staff, for similar prices. And no, I have no connection or interest in the Davenport Arms, I just object to being ripped off for poor food served by disinterested staff.

Visited Chapeau on Sunday with 9 members of my family to celebrate a birthday. We had booked in advance and had a table reserved for us. Even though there were a few of us and others in the cafe we did not have to wait long for our meals and the waitress made sure we had drinks as soon as we arrived. As usual the food was delicious and it went down very well with a small bottle of prosecco. We will be back very soon.

Second review. Same waiting staff. Not helpful and to be honest attitude is rude. Only 4 small tables in for breakfast on Saturday morning. We waited for 40 mins for food, it never came and then we needed to go, so we asked it to be a take away. They said for a further 10 mins it was coming, and eventually came. Maybe it was fault expecting to go in and get served and eat within 40 mins, but how hard can a breakfast be? Really disappointed as you are so local and the food is so good. A very frustrated customer.

We try and go once or twice a week there is always something good on the specials board all the food is excellent quality and mostly local as well.

Found myself in the vicinity of Chapeau! whilst working, and knew of it (from social media) but have never considered it, as everything I have read on SM has been all about the cycling community. As I was in need of a bite to eat and a coffee, I decided to bite the bullet and venture into the 'cyclist domain' .......... I mean, how territorial can cyclists be on a weekday lunchtime???Imagine my surprise when I was warmly welcomed and shown to a table - even with my CAR parked at the door!!!Seriously though, the food was lovely and my dietry requirements were noted and catered to exactly!The coffee was delicious and the cakes looked amazing (althogh I managed to resist)The farm shop is well stocked with sensibly priced goods including a great GF range.I will ceratinly be back now I know this place isnt JUST for cyclists, but I do wonder how many other people like me havent visited because of the same reasons?Come on guys - how about including us non-bikers in your FB posts................ I think you are missing a huge trick here :)
