Etherow Park Cafe in Stockport

We had been for a walk around the lake and rather than go straight home , decided to nip in for a coffee. The outside space desperately needs cheering up. It needs jet washing as do the tables and chairs . The area is mottled with bird poo . The peace was disturbed by the waitress clattering around clearing chairs and tables as it wasn’t far off closing . Coffee tepid .

Breakfast and cakes were lovely served by the young man, however we had a little accident at our table which I offered to clear up if the waitress Jenny would kindly hand me a dustpan! No she was shaking her head and so ignorant and rude! Please teach her some customer service skills which she clearly lacks! Made my daughter feel awful for spilling her seeds 🙄all disabilities are not visible!

Nice cafe with outdoor seating, great food using quality local produce . The cafe also participates in a scheme to help disabled youngsters so as well as getting some lovely food you’ll bel supporting a good cause too.

Lacking the charisma it used to have maybe, but providing take away coffees and food during lockdown, this is a good place to go to.

Reasonably priced butties and drinks after a chilly walk, good that they sell some doggy treats too.

The cafe was reasonably busy on a bank holiday. The queue moved fairly quickly. I had a lovely root vegetable soup and bread roll. My son loved his cheesey chips and milk. My wife enjoyed her coffee and chocolate cake. Overall a good experience with pleasant service.

Not been for a while because of Covid etc. but it would appear that management have seen sense and scrapped the fancy up market menu and have gone back to sensible food for walkers etc. all at sensible prices. Their take away / collect menu at the moment is just great. I hope they have the good sense to leave it that way when restrictions are over and we are back to normal

This cafe at the moment is doing take out only with no seating outside. They do a range of light meals, snacks and cakes and even ice cream for dogs. I had a lovely hot chocolate with Marshmallows, my son had a tea and cheesy chips. Pleasant service. A decent cafe.

This is a great location for a quick bite or something a little more substantial. I had the full American breakfast and my wife had breakfast pancakes. It was all fresh and decently hot and very tasty. Throw in a nice pot of tea and a decent latte and it was still under £15. They also do sandwiches, soups, cakes etc and they all looked really good. It's small but really nice with friendly staff. Recommended!

Popped in here after a lovely walk with the family. Was greated by an enthusiastic young server. Service was fantastic prices very reasonable. Thank you Lydia (our server) lovely visit.

This is the best place to really relax and enjoy the lovely scenery while you sit down on the benches & watch the ducks, geese & swans swimming in the lake or feeding from the seeds dropped by people. The walks around the lake is just wonderful & very scenic. You can walk right down to the waterfall & sit there or carry on up the hillside to venture further scenery. So peaceful too. Then, there is the cafe, so friendly and they serve you some really good food. You can sit on the veranda outside eating from tables there too. You get to see the sunshine,lovely views of the trees, birds & also model boats from the club further up the lake. Everyone enjoys it, from the youngest child to the elderly. A good place to meet new people too and get chatting which does happen a lot! A good place for people with pet dogs, they are well catered for too. With bowls of water to drink from. A really happy atmosphere & the staff helpful & cheerful. Some have special needs, but they are encouraged & help around the place. I have been going to this pleasant place for years now & will continue for as long as I'm able to! So friendly & relaxing. Cheers to the staff!!!

Visited twice this weekend. Lovely bacon sandwich on nice bloomer bread. Good quality bacon. 2 nice coffee's. All for £11. Nice staff, quick service. Can get very busy so expect delays if you pick a peak time.

A busy cafe. Sell a range of sandwiches, chips, cakes and ice creams. I had a lovely bottled real ale and my wife and son enjoyed their. My son also enjoyed his hot chips. Decent service.

We stopped going to this cafe after many years of patronage when they decided to upmarket their menu. Now it would seem they have realised the folly of that and gone back to simple and affordable meals. Basics like toast, beans, eggs, fish-fingers, etc., have reappeared; much more suitable for a family on a budget visiting the lake and also the social services helpers/carers who used to go there. To prove a point, it was a nice day and the place was full and a queue for food as well. We just hope they don't get any more silly ideas about fancy food!

Went for a walk over the Xmas holidays and called in for a snack. Bacon and Sausage barms were both good. Little one had a toasted tea cake which he enjoyed.

Absolute jobsworth wouldn’t serve us any food when we arrived at 8 minutes past 3pm with three children, because apparently hot food stops at 3pm. No signs to say this and wasn’t even willing to serve a salad or cold sandwich. Ridiculous when it was 8 minutes past and we would have spent a good £30. Awful attitude and poor customer service.

We've eaten here a few times this year and generally the food is fine, with the odd exception so probably dependent on the chef. Sandwiches fine and chips are generously portioned. Ice cream lovely and nice range of drinks Inc some alcoholic. Staff all friendly. Unfortunately last time we visited the sausages were cremated and my smashed avocado on toast was inedible because of how much lemon was mixed in - I couldn't ask for a replacement because the children were already fed up due to a long wait. I like that it is dog friendly and seating outside. Little shop attached sells cheap seed to feed the ducks.

Had a nice afternoon at a nice park cafe Nice food and treats for an afternoon out By the lake I’ve cream too Lots of walk long and short

Good parking facilities.. although it is apt and display, excellent cafe and good walk around the lake, watched the model boats and typical of a June weekend needed a warm cup of coffee on return to the car park after the walk,

We called at Etherow Park Cafe on the way home from dropping Bes and Lola (dogs) back to our sons We had food and coffee's It was excellent Great food Great service Great price Thanks Dickie :-)

Once again our Causeway Group of Adults with learning difficulties had a fabulous time at Etherow Park Cafe. Robert and his staff made us very welcome. They set out the room beautifully and provided good food/drink at a very reasonable cost. This is our second year booking the cafe for a private function and I’m sure we will be booking it again next year. Another plus for anyone thinking of hiring the room is that the cafe is now licensed to sell alcohol. I would definitely recommend this venue to anyone. Well done guys - it was spot on

Parked the car then went to pay machine for a ticket

Wonderful stop off after a nice walk round the lake, it has improved considerably recently, the food, and especially the cakes, really good, they have their disabled staff still working for them, which is great, and there's always a bowl of water for our furry friends, they would do well to sell a few doggy treats

A pleasant cafe in Etherow park. Sells a range of drinks including coffees of various types, along with cakes, soup and light meals, and ice creams.

Great little place you can stop off for decent coffee and nice cakes.

Miserable rainy day but we wanted some air so decided to take our son to feed the ducks. We bought 4 bags of seed from she visitor's centre attached to the cafe. Whilst in there we looked at the menu and decided to stay for lunch. They do an American themed brunch, don't know if this is all the time. The cafe was relatively quiet. Service quick and it was clean. Big American breakfast was good and free range sausages tasty. We also had pancakes with Marple syrup and Bacon, tub of icecream, hot chocolate, coke and bowl of chips for about £18. We enjoyed the food. my son liked the fish tank in the visitors centre and there were lots of cheap toys for sale. Christmas time and they had elves inviting kids to decorate the Ginger bread men. We were pleasantly surprised and will return at another quiet time.

Often busy, better staffed than 12 months ago, but tooooo dear for snacks by far. Great coffee's, but do you really want to buy the kids a packet of 'two' biscuits at over a pound, or a tiny fancy 'bun' / cake at over £2. If your eating out, moderate value for money, if you want to snack, take your own provisions.

The Cappuccino here is amazing. Decided to treat myself to a bacon butty on toast. Delicious. Excellent service in a lovely location

Stopped for a coffee after walking around the lake, bright, clean cafe with lots of outside space. Couldn't resist the cake home made & absolutely delicious. The serve hot & cold food lots of choice reasonably priced & the staff are very friendly too, great place

Well done everyone, nice location overlooking Etherow Park lake and lovely food and drink Many thanks

We have visited this cafe a number of times and the service and food are always excellent. Today's chip butty was no exception absolute perfection.

After a long walk and getting lost I needed coffee and a cake! My partner had a panini which was tasty but very overpriced! I had a scone with clotted cream and jam which to be fair was very tasty and reasonably priced for £2, they seemed understaffed and the young girl serving seemed to be getting a little flustered and it wasn’t that busy! The coffee was really poor cappuccino shouldn’t taste the same as a latte and should actually taste of coffee but unfortunately it didn’t and at just under £3 I could get a Costa! Overall it was ok

A decent cafe selling a range of hot drinks. I had a reasonable latte and my son had a cup of tea. Do a range of meals, cakes and snacks. Pleasant service.

Etherow Park is a delightful place to have a short, leisurely stroll. The best bit has to be the cup of tea which awaits you in the café at the end of the walk. Fabulous! This is such a lovely little place, I would definitely recommend it.

Set in the scenic, Etherow Country Park, this is a great place to enjoy a snack or a meal while you rest your weary limbs after a healthy walk round the lake or though the woods. The food Is freshly cooked using produce from local suppliers and is always plentiful; wide range of options from toast to full breakfast. Lunchtime meals also available. On Saturdays and Sundays you can enjoy American Brunch, again ranging from full breakfast to scrambled eggs with avocado and pancakes etc.The staff are friendly and efficient and always helpful. If you are not in the mood for a large meal, fresh sandwiches and locally baked cakes are available, along with a wide range of coffees and teas. The café was recently refurbished, in Bistro style. Seating on the terrace, in fair weather, gives you a great view of the lake, where you will see a wide range of waterfowl and on some days model boats and the larger, full size sailing boats. Go along and enjoy a really good day out!.

Visit etherow cafe regulary, the staff are second to none and the food is always top notch! would recommend to anyone

What a gem this place is. Not too promising from the outside, but lovely decor inside. Food is great, very reasonably priced and the staff are efficient and friendly. Definitely recommend it.

Good food excellent coffee. The cakes are always tempting (noughty but nice.)we often come in the afternoons for a stroll with the and end up with a treat from the very good choice of cakes. It is so good to see young people with disabilities given the opportunity to work. They are always very polite and positive. Well done to everyone involved. A great place to visit.

This cafe is easily accessible by the steps or ramp. The staff are friendly and helpful. Like many visitor attractions the cost of food is a little expensive, especially if taking a family. Having said that the range of food and drinks available is good and meet the needs of all.

Brilliant food and a great day out with the kids.The staffs coustumer service is brill. Would recommend!

This cafe is a little jem, after walking around the country park. Lots of snacks and food and drinks.

We go here often for a dog walk and a coffee in the cafe. The coffee is excellent & the staff are very friendly.
