Cotton Weavers Cafe in Calderdale

Arrived at 12:45. Told no soup left so the soup is obviously not made daily. I’m sure nobody is eating soup for breakfast so working on the assumption that lunch starts around 12, they’re either not making enough or they’re using leftovers. Ridiculously slow service. Waited 45 minutes for 2 overpriced sandwiches. Slice of cake £3.75, wafer thin. Staff surly and unwelcoming. Not a good place to eat at all.

There was a 40 minute wait for food when we arrived at 2.45. Wish we hadn’t bothered as it was absolutely awful. Dried up chips, cold peas and a shrivelled up rag pudding along with a bacon barm on which the bacon was rock hard , greasy and cold and yet the plate was red hot? The poor girl on the till was running herself ragged whilst others sauntered about. The tables were full of half eaten plates of food.The people that we could see cooking were all really young and looked very disinterested. Whilst in the queue someone from the kitchen pushed a burger through the hatch and this fell through into the cutlery. It was just put back onto the hatch. Im just glad it wasnt mine. We waited 45 minutes and watched food just stood under the hot lamps sometimes for 8 minutes. When we got downstairs i waited for my friend to come out of the toilet and the two women on the till were stood slagging off a colleague in the DIY area very badly calling them lazy. Really not nice is it? What an awful experience and not sure who is in charge of cooking but this place has gone massively downhill and we definitely wont be coming back Im afraid.

What a waste of time!! 20 mins to order, 45 mins and still waiting to get order. This is the second time for such waits was assured last time that it wasn’t normal practice. Obviously is!

they wouldn't let us swap cake for a breakfast or change our mind, very slow service, grumpy staff, gone downhill. no sugars or salt n peppers available, staff not wearing hairnets in the kitchen.

I can barely think where to start with this car crash of a café. Perhaps I will start with the good points as there are so few: the waiter who handed us our food was very polite and the amount of staff working front of house kept the queues at the till to a minimum. Also the door out of the building worked fine enabling us to put as much distance as possible from this nightmare. Now for the not so great stuff: first of all the door to the building worked fine allowing anyone to go inside and suffer this hell. Secondly, the staff member at the till taking our order seriously appeared as if she would prefer death to serving customers. Thirdly, we took our drinks and sat down only to have to listen to the locals on one side shouting to their elderly Mother about her incontinence and need for a commode and from the other side someone discussing local dogging spots. This disturbed us so much we moved and sat across the room. Fourth, the food to absolutely ages to arrive. Seriously, we order cheese on toast. That was all and I’d guess that took them 30-40 minutes to prepare! Fifth, the food was sub-par at best. Sixth, the disabled toilet had urine on the seat and floor and had not been cleaned. It is hard to imagine how a place could screw things up much more and still be in business. The pricing and the food was ok I guess but nothing special. I would literally eat anywhere but this place given the choice to do so again. Even not eating at all and just starving whilst throwing the cash down the drain right outside would be preferable and produce a better net result. If I could give this place a zero I would seriously do it and even that would be far too generous.

Very over cooked jacket potato the skin was like leather couldn't eat it they wouldn't exchange it my chips were underdone won't come here again

Visiting the area we found this little gem of a restaurant across the road from the Gordon Rigg garden centre. Access via stairs or a lift. We went there for lunch (3 of us), Good selection of meals to choose from. The service was quick and the meals we chose were delicious. Friendly staff who were able to answer any queries we had. Well worth the visit. Will certainly go again the next time I'm in the area. Thank you and well done to all the staff. They made our visit a pleasure.

There was a small queue waiting to be served when we arrived. I ordered two meals and drinks. We sat having our drinks watching other customers going to complain about the length of time they waited for their meals. After 3/4 of an hour I asked a waitress hoe much longer our meals would be . She returned saying not long 2-3 minutes. Then she returned apologising saying our order for the jacket potato hadn't been started , she asked if I would like a refund for the jacket or everything. I went to the counter and got a refund for everything but no apology from the person giving the refund. In fact they didn't even look at me!!! No customer service. I will not be returning !!

Came here for the first time with my baby, we usually go across the road to Gordon’s tea rooms but the menu is limited and not very budget friendly for me as I’m on maternity leave! I felt the menu at cotton weavers was much more reasonable and with more choice. The staff were lovely and friendly especially the lady with the Irish accent. Will be back!

Have been here several times over the years and always been great food and service but the last couple of times have been awful. Apart from a 40 minute plus wait on both occasions the food itself was terrible the salad on my plate had so much water on it the bottom of the sandwich was soggy the bacon on my husbands BLT was to hard to eat we didn’t say anything as we were not prepared for another lengthy wait I wrote to Cotton Weavers about my experience but have not had the courtesy of a reply, I hate leaving bad reviews but will not be returning

Rude dark curly haired woman told us to move from a comfy booth to a small table when I was with my family, pram and baby. We had sat there as I needed to breastfeed my baby. She said she needed to clean the table. We left straight after without ordering food due to her utter rudeness. Won’t be going here again. No customer service skills at all.

This cafe has been completely ruined since the days of the ploughman’s and sandwiches freshly made and the selection of cakes. Now, like most places, it’s all about making money and nothing about satisfied customers. An hour wait for cheese on toast and crumpets. The two stars I gave for the review are for the drinks we were given by way of apology for the wait, although we had bought more drinks during the hour. The food was fine when it arrived (but you can’t go too far wrong with toast and crumpets) but an hour waiting time with no warning is not acceptable so I would recommend to avoid unless you’ve got all day and you’re not that hungry.

Arrived at 12 o’clock ish, cafe was rather busy, assuming because of the Christmas markets on over the road. We ordered cheese and onion pie and corned beef hash, food arrived promptly and piping hot! Was the best cheese and onion pie my partner has ever had, and the hash was delicious! Staff were very friendly and attentive, will definitely come again 😁

Brilliant Breakfast, great service, ordered separately but both orders came at the same time. Great size breakfast and everything was hot and fresh. Not sure what magic they did to the mushrooms but wow!! Coffee was delicious too. Will definitely be back!!

Full English breakfast 5 stars.. clean and fresh to eat. Not grease at all.. Cooked to perfection.. Staff are lovely.. Will 100% be back!!

Our first time and sadly our last. Very slow service in both the queue to order our food and then a 50 minute wait to receive our food. This wasn’t a big or complicated order , it was a breakfast and a scampi. Breakfast quality and quantity was perfectly acceptable but the scampi came without the peas ( ordered) and subsequently had to go back by which time the scampi was cold . What was also quite peculiar and unnecessary was being asked what condiments we wanted after the food was delivered. The waitress then had to go back to the kitchen to bring us a few tiny sachets of salt , pepper and vinegar. So much waste of paper, time and energy. Why not have salt and pepper pots on the table that can be renewed? Lots of people were waiting , having already paid for the food upfront it’s then difficult to vote with your feet , and leave . Lots of tables , plenty of customers but clearly not enough staff , or experienced staff . (Although pleasant enough) Not a pleasurable experience.

Terrible service and disgusting food. We’ve been here on quite a few occasions and the was good in garden centre. However we visited today to be told the Gordon Rigg breakfast is only available at the Cotton Weavers Cafe. We were told that this because the garden centre cafe is now going to be more of a ‘tea room’ so the breakfast has been removed from the menu in the garden centre cafe. Not sure about the logic of this. Anyway so we left and popped across to the road to the weavers cafe. The service was incredibly slow and the food was disgusting.

Use to love coming here but never again unless for drinks. Waited 45mins for our lunch. Everyone else was complaining also - and saw even sandwiches/crumpets were taking just as long too. Either reduce the menu, hire more staff, have waitress service so can stagger tables or reduce number of tables. Please sort it out as it’s such a lovely spot.

Went with my parents today and ordered a small breakfast, a cheese on toast and a buttered toasted tea cake. Placed the order at 12.32pm (checked with the receipt) and finally got it delivered to the table at 1.25pm - a total time of 53 minutes. The food is good but the service is shocking - will not be going again. Not just us as customers on other tables were asking where their food was. Have used the cafe half a dozen times and has slowly got worse - today was the final straw! Come on, sort yourselves out - surely there must be something you can do to improve on this atrocious service!

We waited 35 minutes for crumpets 1 understand they put you behind those ordering big meals…. But really!! Should have more staff to cater for small orders. Only good if you want a piece of cake and a drink. Will not be going again. Morrisons is only down the road.

I've been twice for the corned beef has over the past month, because it's so delicious. Served with red cabbage and bread. Tables are clean, service very friendly and coffee great. They have free water in jugs which is also a bonus. They cakes are lovely and I like the window seats but the big pot plant is a bit intrusive on one of them, I visited yesterday and it was packed and although the queue was served and went down quickly the food took over half an hour to arrive once seated.

both me & my disabled mums went out for a drive on what was a very sunny day 9/7/22, and as we passed the woollen weavers cafe so we decided to give it another go, as it was 5yrs since we last ate there. so we ordered rarebit and fish butty n chips, plus 2 cappacinos. and it was very delicious & hot. and what a total transformation in both the cafe and staff & food. must compliment the young staff for there kindness and helpful in serving me and my mum, & i noticed the staff keeping the food service area clean.

Second time we have been here both times sign up saying 30 minutes delay for food. The restaurant was only half full so we ordered but food didn't come for 25 minutes. Wished we hadn't waited as I had fish cakes which were tasty but greasy and the sweet potato fries were cold. My partner had cheese on toast which was also cold. Definitely not worth the money.

Been lots of times but won't be going again. A 40 minute wait for our food with lots of people arriving after us but being served before us. No apology from the staff. Very disappointing. When the food did finally arrive it really wasn't very nice and certainly not worth the wait. The burger van over the road is far better value and the staff there are friendlier too.

The cafe upstairs serves top quality food wether it’s breakfast or lunch or just a browse around the ground floor, all sorts of gift ideas, you won’t be disappointed with your visit

The food was excellent even though a little pricey but we didn't mind paying for the quality. Staff are very knowledgeable and helpful, the waits are a little longer than we would have liked but then again we are in a pandemic and the staff are supplying quality food in a difficult situation. The moaners who complain about the wait times, questions and process to get there food need to remember one thing COVID, hence all the extra steps. So chrissyob1967 please bear that in mind I mean slating a business for putting people's safety over filling your belly fast is ludicrous, get a grip of yourself. We will definitely be eating here again its a better family feel that the one in the garden centre who just rush you in and out and to be quite Frank sell food that would be more at home in a restaurant, people don't want that in a garden centre I really don't know who decides on the menu but if it isn't Gordon ramsay I'd sack him, totally out priced food not fit for the environment it's served in or the target clientele.

I have to be honest, I like shopping at Gordon Riggs with the family, but as far as eating in the cafe again, that won't happen. We sat at a table, a family of four whilst I approached the counter for 4 carveries. With an ever growing line of people behind me, getting increasingly impatient, I was asked a list of questions for each individual carvery, about each individuals personal preference for meat, veg, sauces, trimmings and gravy etc. This took around 5 mins, as the background noise and music was so loud that i couldn't even hear the server speak at times. Without having each individual with me at the counter, how can I fine tune their individual meals? what happened to going to the carvery counter and choosing your options as you are served your meat? When the order was delivered too the table, every individual meal was wrong in some way. We asked for 1 of them with a significant omission (the meat!!) to be rectified. At the point of ordering the meals, we were also given tickets for our puddings. We were not told what the puddings were, so assumed not would be a selection at the Carvery counter to choose from. When we approached in order to select our puddings, we were told it was Apple Crumble and custard only, with no alternatives. 2 of our party do not eat Apple Crumble, so these meals went to waste. I mentioned this to a member of staff, who appeared embarrassed, but was equally as dismissive. Incidentally, the puddings arrived without anything to eat them with, and each individual in my party left the Cauliflower Cheese as it was barely edible. Upon entry to the cafe via the store downstairs, I was informed it was a Cash Only cafe, so i had to walk back to the car, and find a cash point. Once i rejoined my family inside and placed my order, i was then surprised to see that they offered me the contactless payment facility!! it was literally -3 degrees outside and i had been driving about looking for a cash point!! An awful overall experience

Visited the garden centre and has we was wondering around and we came to the cafe We called for a coffee. The outside was lovely sat in the sun. We had lunch I had a ploughman’s and my husband had the Cumberland sausage both were...

Absolutely Terrible service. Very rude and obnoxious so called Manager. We will never shop there again.

After a nice wintery morning walk stopped off at our regular place for coffee before the walk back - coffee is the nicest here I've had anywhere! On this occasion we tried their breakfast sandwhich offer with coffee for £2.99 which was lovely! Would highly...

Visited the garden centre to look at the Christmas products & the alpacas then over to the mill shop across the road for something to eat, it was late Saturday lunchtime. When ordering we were advised it would take about 35 min as it was...

What an amazing night we all had, great food, excellent service, please do it again next year, just love Gorden Riggs tea rooms

A lovely evening out last Friday in the Cotton Weaver's Cafe where 3 of us went to a Dickensian evening. The scene was set staff wore the appropriate costumes, mulled wine was served prior to the meal with live Christmas Carols from local school children...

We attended here on Friday 29th November for a Dickensian Christmas event involving a meal and readings from A Chistmas Carol at £19.95 a ticket. The room was cold with no heating, you would think that in November they would think of heating also the...

We frequent the cafe a couple times a month whilst visiting gordon riggs. The food is excellent the service is great, the young members of staff are always polite and helpful. The food is wholesome and the meals are large and taste great, hats off...

It’s a real shame that this institution keeps failing to meet the mark and MANY reviews are obviously not being listened to. Appalling, rude staff. I’m sorry I am the last person to say this but need to stop hiring young girls who evidently don’t...

Sent back because the food was cold my husband had the bigger breakfast and that was sent back because it was also cold. It was no better when it was returned to us won't eat there again.

My husband and I have had lunch here a few times as it’s convenient when visiting the garden centre. Unfortunately we have never enjoyed the food and always felt it was overpriced for what we have had. On our last visit I ordered Welsh Rarebit....

Very nice food served here and the service was excellent. I was disappointed when I found a hair in my food though. Will visit again 4/5

Had the large breakfast which was made with good produce, cooked fresh and although not cheap at £8.25 but tasty and very filling. Staff could have been warmer but that is a personal opinion.

The worst service ever. Waited 45 minutes for food, no warning, no apology. This place has got too big for its shoes, used to be lovely, reasonable prices, plenty of choice. Now overpriced menu, not enough small, snack options available and totally appalling service. Last...

I hope I’ve got the right place, the newish cafe in Gordon Riggs? This is the 3rd time we’ve been here and always hoped it would get better,I’m afraid not. Service really good but that’s were it ends. Sandwiches dry. Welsh rarebit, like a mustard...

Sometimes good but sometimes less so. Staff are usually friendly but it does depend on who is on duty and the time of day. Food is ok without being special. We now prefer the new cafe/tea room in the main Garden Centre opposite.

Yes, we have been here loads f times over the years, sometimes get smiles from the staff sometimes dont,always been happ with the food but the prices have gone up a bit, but we do come back so that means some good feedback. Thanks

We visited yesterday. After placing our food order we waited 50 minutes for the food to arrive. I had rarebit which arrived with soggy toast. My wife has chilli with rice and chips which was good. My son ordered the chicken tikka wrap which literally dripped with oil making the wrap inedible. How on earth it can take so long to make cheese on toast, chilli and a wrap is beyond me.

With 3 young grandchildren who we look after 5 out of 7 days the cafe and garden centre is great in all weathers. Whilst we spend a fortune out of my pension on kids meals, coffees and cake - we visit at least once a week, and also heavily stock our garden with usually lovely planting (although the azalea and pot we bought couple of days ago I'm really sad about as every bloom has dropped off the azalea already). One of grandchildren also gets a weekly toy treat which are a little overpriced although the mill shop little better for some pocket money treats. That being said we spend a lot of money here over the year. It upsets me therefore that the quality of the food in mill shop cafe is hit and miss. Yesterday kids beans and toast left by the grand daughter we had with us as yak her one slice of toast was burnt and black. I had a bite to show her it was ok but yak it was also cold and had the cheapest flight scraping of 'butter' in middle. Beans cold and undercooked? At £1.99 it's not cheap for one slice of toast and a small scoop of beans. However when they get it right and kids eat it I don't mind (oh kids menu on website out of date when I looked last). Didn't want to make a fuss as I say we find it a great place to take grandchildren (better when they have sandpit though!)

Feel bad writing a negative review about this place as, as a whole it’s a fantastic place to visit and it’s an institution. However! The food is just abysmal nowadays. The prices are ridiculous, Multiple peoples complain and say the prices are unreasonable for a cafe that is best described as average. Some really nice girls there as well as some obviously not trained. Way too many members of staff considering the wait times. I ordered a “Steak Canadian” which is traditionally steak, cheese, mushrooms and green peppers. I got an burnt onion sandwich with a dry bit of meat. My partner got rag pudding, chips and gravy which he did enjoy. The cakes and the coffee is good however always out of scones. Will be going the new tea room across the road from now on.

A day planned to visit the garden centre was spoilt with the visit to this cafe for lunch first. Yes it all looks lovely But!! It was only 1-30pm and no one waiting at the counter. I asked for three meals but told a 25 minutes wait?? As we were hungry we took the cold option. The menu and price range was well over the top and all the knives and forks on the side were to our liking were shall we say ( dirty) or could do with replacing. Don’t like sending reviews like this but if it helps management to look at things then why not. Also when we looked at our receipt we had been over charged by almost £2. Verdicts were unanimous we won’t be coming again.

Had the small breakfast twice now, told my sister about it and then took her to try it too. Both really impressed! Lovely farmers shop sausage, bacon, well cooked egg, beans, mushrooms, hash brown and toast for a bargain £4.25. having the girls over soon and will most likely return for breakfasts all round the following morning!

Called for a nice refreshment pot of tea , acquired a banoffee and a Manchester tart both tasted very bland pastry not too good . Won't be buying one again.

Tried the lemon and ginger cake from the large selection on offer - delicious. Coffee was good too. Just a bit expensive but most things are here.

I came here with family on a Sunday around 12pm. The first thing that was noted that was the room was freezing cold...The second thing, the price in comparison to the average/below priced food! Do yourself a favour, drive a few miles up the road and for a very similar price, at The Top Brink, very good food!

Took my grandson to the grotto at Todmorden Gordon Riggs garden centre today. It was £7.50 and worth every single penny! Nicest Santa visit I’ve ever been to. We were in Santa’s house approx 15 minutes, my grandson had a lovely chat with him and received a great present. The photos were good too.

One of the best breakfasts we have ever had. Cafe spotless, food amazing and price was very good too. Our first visit but we will definitely be back.

I had lunch at the Cotton Weavers, unfortunately it will probably some time until I return. The food was not good, cold chips, tiny meatballs and hard bread. We had to wait ages for the food and the table was so sticky we had to put serviettes over it to stop us sticking to it which did not make eating pleasant.

We decided to have lunch here as a treat for our daughter,we were told it was a 25 minute wait.It took over 40 minutes and the food at best was just ok.

As a family of four we often visit Gordon Rigg Garden Centre as nice drive out, can mooch around centre for an hour-pets, plants, gifts, and farm shop before having lunch in cafe. The Cotton Weavers has an excellent choice of food. Order at counter, select own cutlery and brought to table-sandwiches, toasties, breakfast served all day, jackets, main meals, specials, homemade cakes, and kids menu. Only issue is long wait times for food during busy periods, but not told this when order food-they seem to do everything in order so even if order soup or toasted teacake it can take as long as main meal. Well worth a visit though as very clean and more gifts and clothes downstairs.

Called in for lunch after visiting the garden center and Mill, we Both had a small breakfast and for the price it was excellent value for money the staff are excellent and will definitely be going back for another meal

Visited the garden centre this morning and decided to have a coffee and toast in the café. When our toast arrived mine was only toasted on one side so I asked if it could be toasted on both sides .When my toast came back it was exactly the same. People on the next table had the same thing happen to them and they had to send it back. If they cannot make a piece of toast I would certainly not eat a meal there. This café is vastly overpriced for what they are offering and will certainly not return.

I ordered 2 fish chips and mushy peas and white bread, also a hot beef and onions on a Baton, waited quite a long while before food arrived both the fish looked like they had been cremated the peas were stone cold I sent mine back and hoped the fish didn't look so bad sadly it did and was so dried up inedible really, but the peas were hot no bread and butter came at all, my friends Hot beef with onions arrive on a barmcake or tea cake not the Baton as the menu said all in all it was dreadful, the younger girls cleared the tables and wiped them properly but the older waitress just wiped around thing not moving anything laziness at best our table was so sticky the serviettes stuck to the table there was plenty of staff stood around chatting to each other and looked annoyed when I asked them for something. Girl taking the orders was very pleasant but the rest was an experience I wont be having ever again.

Went to Gordon Riggs Garden Centre and decided to have lunch in their cafe. I ordered a cheddar and tuna toastie. When it eventually arrived it was hot but not toasted at all. I asked the waitress if it could be toasted more. When it returned it was toasted but tasted on what I would imagine cardboard to taste of...absolute YUK and it came with a £6.25 price.

Really looking for plants for the pots to be finished, this Cafe is just across the road from Donald Riggs Garden Centre. As you might have guessed it was a former Cotton Mill where the Weavers worked their trade.

We visited this on 5th may. I had a full English breakfast which was delicious and comprehensive. Nothing on the plate was overcooked and it had been cleanly cooked and free of any grease. Overall the food we all had was excellent.

We have been visiting Gordon Riggs for the past 25years and always have a meal in Bottoms mill cafe. Yesterday we had a meal at cafe and could not believe how bad it was. My stake and ale pie had been microwaved poorly,half of it was hot,the other half was cold. The frozen chips they use were hard inside and not cooked. We had to wait so long to be served,I did not have the energy to take it back and complain. I think that £8 for a bad microwave meal is disgusting as you advertise fresh food. In the past the food was fresh and nice and reasonably priced. When we call at Gordon Riggs again we will definitely give Cotton Weavers cafe a miss.

It was our first visit and was pleasantly surprised the service was great

The food was good when you got it. Drinks had to be warmed twice since meals took over 30 minutes. When they did arrive they were incorrect. Also at only one hour into service three items were unavailable. Not good service.

Called & had breakfast with my wife, sorry to say it wasn't good. Not worth £2 never mind £13.

With two one year old grand daughters constantly on look out for nice local cafes with play area. Having visited Gordon Riggs in Rochdale and been pleasantly surprised all be it the play area could do with a good clean but safe and lots of suitable toys to entertain grand daughters whilst enjoy coffee and cake, the sister cafe in Todmorden leaves a lot to be desired! Play area unsuitable and misnomer! No toys other than two broken grubby plastic toys and unsuitable as no soft playarea let alone any play area 3 wooden tables and chairs took up most of space and a grubby wooden shelving unit at head banging height?! Had quick coffee and left very disappointed - grand daughter more so I would say as nil safe space to play in!

Went with our grandchild. Self derive took 25 minutes to get to till with only 4 people in front of me. Woman on the till had no idea how to work it. They could not do a small hot chocolate. Useless!

In a queue of 5 people it took 20 minutes to be served, ordered

Visited with elderly parents , so pleased there was a lift and lots of space. Light , airy restaurant so all was good until we tried to order food.

Between the Mill Shop and the Garden Centre across the road these make a lovely place to stop and enjoy.

The café is part of Gordon Riggs Garden Centre which is across the road. The café is upstairs in an old mill, there is a small lift if you cannot get up stairs, but it is only suitable for a pushchair and 2 adults.

Drove a long way to the Garden Center that owns this cafe so needed refreshment before the trip home. The staff were friendly and always on the go but there weren't enough of them as tables weren't being cleared. The coffee (from a machine) was very bitter and the £2.50 Cherry Bakewell slice was INEDIBLE.The only thing it tasted of was uncooked flour. Don't waste your money.

I went to the garden centre,and decided to go into the cafe has I was hungry, I wish I hadn't bothered. Most meals were sold out ! They said they had pulled pork , I said that would be fine.It arrived it seemed to be a bun of cheese and sauce ! Their wasn't very much meat in at all !I really wouldn't go again.

Been to this cafe on several occasions and the food is always top notch even if expensive. My wife and myself popped in for dinner on tuesday 5th september at around 1230 and it was very busy, we decided to go accross to the garden centre and come back later to see if it had quietened down.We returned to the cafe at around 2 oclock and it was much less busy, we chose a table sat down and looked over the menu. I went up to the till to order the food and was the only person waiting, there were two lasses behind the counter, one was busy cleaning the coffee machine and the one who was closest the till was busy talking through the serving hatch, i patiently waited there for over a minute whilst listening to her harp on after id made several attempts to get noticed by coughing but she seemed too busy to notice, I was about to give up when the girl cleaning eventually noticed me she then came and served me. I sat down and my wife remarked how long id been waiting. Our food came relatively quickly and the same lass who was too busy talking behind the till brought our food over, I mentioned to the girl that i had been waiting at the counter and she didnt notice meand I was about to leave and she just stared straight at me and shrugged her shoulders, turned around and walked off. The food was very nice, but for the price you pay to eat there id expect the staff to at least be willing to take your order and at least show some manners.

Visited this garden centre café for the first time after reading mixed reviews.

We met our daughter here today at 1300 for lunch. We found a table, chose what we wanted and went to order. They didn't have any of my first three choices of food, nor the first two choices of my daughter. While we relooked at options we ordered 2 teas and a coffee to be told they had no coffee. At this point we decided to go else where.

La salle est agréable et accueillante. Le personnel efficace. Le repas était correct, pour un bon rapport qualité/prix.

La visita de un tranquilo lunes a mediodía con vistas a conseguir plantas ropa junto a la jardín. Zona limpia para comer, variado menú barato, servicio rápido y una comida deliciosa, el pequeño desayuno, regados con un buen café. Mi esposa tenía la misma comida y té descafeinado. A ambos nos gustó todo lo que teníamos y volveremos el próximo año.

Great to nip in after visiting the garden centre across the road, avoid weekends if you can. Situated on the first floor above mill shop although a lift is available. Good selection of food I had home made pea & ham soup which was lovely but very thick , my grandsons had toasters which they enjoyed. Prices are average for a cafe but good sized portions

Called on a Thursday with my wife, after visiting the garden Centre across the road.Because it was a cold day we decided to have something warm to eat.We ordered two small breakfasts, and a hot drink each while we waited for our food.The cafe was fairly busy, but as it was 11.30am we thought we would be ahead of the lunchtime rush. Boy were we wrong!We had our drinks, while we waited for our food, and we waited and we waited.I was just on my way to find out what the problem was when after 35 mins the food eventually arrived. Dried up bacon, very very well done sausages, so not freshly cooked, but been sat under a hot lamp.We were sat next to the window overlooking the small car park, and watched as people came, parked in the spaces (designated for Gordon Riggs customers) and then walked to the Pub next door where they serve two meals for £8. Who were the smarter people. (Not us) but we will be next time.

It's a lovely little place connected to Gorden Riggs Garden Centre, the prices are a bit steep but lovely food

Visited Coton Weavers a few times now when visiting Gordon Riggs garden centre. Food is well cooked and of good value. Each time found that service has been quick and the staff have been friendly. Lunch times are busy but always found a table and also found that service and food never compromised no matter how busy they are. For families there is a small play area for young children...a nice touch. Will definately keep on visiting when in the area.

lovely cafe with good outlook over to hills.nice range of food with reasonable prices & selections of meals & snacks

I really enjoyed visiting the cotton weavers cafe, the staff were very polite and happy to help and the food was good. They isn't a massive variety of food but definitely enough to satisfy your taste at least. I would definitely recommend the cafe to couples as it's quite cute and a nice place to just have a chat and a bite to eat

Popped in for a quick lunch on our way to way over-priced and too far up itself Hebden Bridge - too often in too many places in that town we've had a £10/15 a head meal inflicted on us at prices way, way (way) north of that ... Sunday lunchtime the place was busy. Even so, it was spotlessly clean, the staff were pleasant and service was prompt. The food was freshly prepared - and the salad garnish/accompaniment was crisp and fresh. In a small group of friends the choices were varied - I enjoyed the 'Ginger Beer battered cod'. The batter was crisp and light and the fish was perfectly cooked.

Myself and a friend took my 2 children to the breakfast with santa event last Saturday. We had a brilliant time and the children were very excited to see Santa. The breakfast they got was fantastic and they were busy with the activities that were provided. All of the staff were very friendly and efficient and the presents that the children received were lovely too. Overall we had a very enjoyable morning!

My partner and I visited Gordon Riggs and decided to have a quick bite to eat at the Cafe across the way. Upon arriving at the cafe it was beautifully decorated with Christmas decorations and the place was semi-busy.My partner and I chose a table, )which had no menu on so we had to find a different table to take one from) and I proceeded to make the order at the Food Order point. We ordered two cold sandwiches, a portion of chips and a portion of sweet potato fries at 1:10pm. We received our food, finally, at 1:45pm. There was no apology about the delay or explanation, when waiting 35 mins for Sandwiches is quite ridiculous. When the food did arrive the bread that the sandwich came on was hard and definitely was not worth the £4.99 price tag that came with it, this was excluding the chips! These were extra. I will be visiting Gordon Riggs in the future, but most certainly will not be making the trip across the way for food again. Overpriced and Poor Service!

The cafe is upstairs in an old mill opposite the Garden Centre.We just had a cup of tea and cake which was supplied by friendly staff.There was a range of cakes which all looked pretty good to me!

We visited with my wife's parents on a Sunday afternoon. The café is owned by Gordon Riggs Garden Centre and is based on the first floor over the Bottom Mill Shop which is on the opposite side of the road from the Garden Centre. The café was busy but we managed to find a table in the large dining area. One has to queue at the counter to order and pay for food and drink. The drinks are provided upon paying and then you are handed a number for your order. The queue was quite long and it took about ten minutes to get to the till point to order the food (1 x rag pudding with chips and mushy peas; 1 x cheese and onion pasty, chips and mushy peas, 2 x turkey sandwiches and one bowl of chips). The drinks order of two cappuccinos and two teas were served at the counter. The cutlery, sugar, milk and other condiments are on a separate table to be collected by the customer. There were no knives in the tray and we had to ask for some. These took 10 minutes to arrive. On looking around the café it was clear that there were a number of customers waiting for food and looking pretty disgruntled. It wasn't long before some people started to complain with one lady complaining that she had been waiting 45 minutes for a sausage barmcake. We realised that we were in for a long wait. Some 50 minutes after ordering and having had to order more drinks, we received our food. To be fair, my rag pudding was pretty good, and the my wife and mother in law considered their turkey sandwiches to be quite nice with carved turkey being used on the sandwiches. However, the cheese pasty was a shop bought affair which had been microwaved and so soggy and uninspiring. The chips were frozen chips and whilst freshly cooked were pretty bland in taste and texture. Ok, one can't expect gourmet food in such a place but it was pretty average and not particularly cheap at around £40.Next time we will drive down the road to the lovely cafe's of Hebden Bridge.

35 minute wait. The tea and crumpets were fine. But frozen chips and a crusty pudding not nice. And not cheap either. The local pubs serving roast beef and frozen veg! Go elsewhere

Just had a nice lunch there, with good service and a good garden centre and shops to visit. Lift available to the cafe area

We visited this lovely café recently and was pleasantly surprised. The café is quite large, with lots of window seating. The menu has a lot of variety, from full breakfasts, wraps, pies and the best fish and chips I have ever tried! There are gluten free and vegetarian options too. There is a children's menu and play area and a lift for those of us with mobility issues.The staff are very friendly, with a good knowledge of the items on the menu.There is a large selection of cakes to try with hot or cold drinks. The prices for food and drinks is very reasonable, with the dearest item £7.25 for the gourmet pie of the day. Try the freshly battered fish, it is amazing. I asked about the batter mix and was told it is made with ginger beer. Which makes the batter very tasty and crispy. We will definitely be back again.
