Fourways Cafe & Grill in Cheshire West and Chester

30/09/24: Popped in for breakfast with friends and the obligatory mooch around J&S. Full English breakfast and a mug of tea is value for money and can set you up for the day. The decor is nothing special, but as it's predominantly a bikers' café that's not what it's about. The tables are big enough and spaced out well enough to be comfortable with biker clobber on, but it can get a bit noisy when it's busy and, as it's popular, it does get busy, especially in biking season. There are some back issues of bike-related mags if you fancy a read during your visit, and there is some outside seating for when the sun puts in an appearance, but this is a bit tired and could use a refresh. Service is generally dependable, but can be variable and depends on who is on shift. We've always got what we ordered, but some of the staff have in the past been miserable or surly, which takes the edge off a generally good experience.

I love visiting this little café when I'm out on my bike. Never had a bad experience here. The staff are polite, which is always nice. Great selection of food, the kind of things you'd expect from a bikers café. Well worth a visit if you're riding through!

Atmosphere a bit flat for some reason. Ice cream was top notch. Sprinkles and a flake.spot on.

Great little cafe on the grounds of j&s supplies... Great to meet other like minded bikers...brill on a sunny day especially at weekend

Nice breakfast, but because of dietary issues asked for it without beans and toast, and asked for an extra egg instead, was told that they don't substitute items, but still charged me the full price, it's the only cafe that has done this, so far this year.

I've used this cafe loads of times for coffee which is pretty nice. the cups of tea are awful and disgusting.96% of the staff look unhappy in their work and miserable. they never smile or say please and thank you and stand there talking to each other instead of concentrating on the customer. yesterday 16/08/2024 i visited the cafe for some food so i ordered gammon egg and chips. what a big disappointment the gammon was in fact ham that you would put on a sandwich with hard chips however the egg was nice. if your menu says gammon you should serve gammon and not cold sandwich ham. i will not be eating here again

Amazing breakfast this morning cooked perfectly and nothing to much trouble atmosphere was amazing too ! Keep up the good work xxx

Great biker cafe, good food and friendly staff Needs to do an all day breakfast in my opinion that is available all day

Great place, great service and food.

Good food great atmosphere ive always found the staff very friendly.

Very nice little cafe serving a lovely Breakfast. Lots of Bikers around but don't worry they won't bite. Definitely one for the little black book. Be aware though the All Day Breakfast is only all day until 12.30 so get up a bit earlier.

Stopped for a wholesome breakfast whilst camping at Delamere. A hearty Biker's cafe.

Always pass by every weekend lovely food the best breakfast around…every one of the staff is nice and always get service with a smile….highly recommend to pass by to all bikers 👌🏼

I’m sure The Grump will think of an ingenious response to this but; if you have a policy regarding sitting outside, make sure all staff are aware. Also, if you’re going to speak with such authority about “asking me” a question as to where I’m sitting, maybe have an idea of whether it was you that served me or not. Lastly, if you’re in the wrong and it’s pointed out politely, maybe just apologise and move on. Also, your food is average so maybe a smile would go a long way to making sure you have repeat customers.

NIce cuppa and a crispy bacon butty on a cold Saturday morning in June.

Went for breakfast this morning and was presented with burnt bacon, sausages that had been kept warm from start of play this morning and a very hard fried egg, very few baked beans, the only thing edible was the hash browns, black pudding and toast. Spoke to the girl on the way out who was obviously not bothered, or interested. Will not be going again, used to regulars but no more. Disgusting food.

If you like your food to have a 1970's transport cafe theme, this is the place to come. I'm a vegan motorcyclist which really seemed to throw the staff and so ended up with beans on dry white bread toast, despite my mates getting margarine on their bread. The place seems to have so much untapped potential.

Nice little visit yesterday, sadly let down by what tasted like over cooked beans. No issue when you just want a bite to eat, but prices were a bit on the steep side for below average plates of food. Staff were friendly, setting was great, but our appetites were not stimulated.

First time in the cafe (second time in the store), great cafe, great food nice and friendly, one of the best burger's I have had, nice coffee.

Great food at very reasonable prices.

It's a shame their not flexible with the the menu, if you go in after breakfast is finished you can't just have a sausage sandwich but you can have sausage and chips with bread ? Many times I've been in after breakfast and just ordered a drink because of this then just called at a Greggs on the way home, doesn't make any sense , their loosing a sale🤔

Great meeting place with good food 👍🏻👍🏻

As a biker this is a regular drop in for me. Good, tasty, and sensibly priced cafe food. Lots of bikes but everyone seems welcome. Plus, right next door to a motorcycle accessory warehouse!

I will always drive out of my way just to have breakfast here 😋

Great value cafe. Full English is £9 including tea / coffee. Really convenient for Delamere Forest (5 minutes drive)

Awesome with breakfast. And great location to see the bikers

Absolutely brilliant breakfasts. Cooked to perfection. Highly recommended.

Brill cafe, food good, service great, then a mooch around the bike stuff, belting.

Nice food... friendly staff... Nice bikers cafe

One of my favourite pit stops. The food is great, the staff are friendly and the place is spotless. Reasonably priced too.

Good location, food is amazing! Shame about the staff who can’t even crack a smile. This is the only thing letting the cafe down is customer service. Come on people you’re in a good location!

Coffee good but £4 for a bowl of chips,cheap chips at that ! I would expect the mayonnaise to be free, but you have to pay for that too. I am really disappointed. I have been coming here for years,but won't be coming here again. Sort your prices out.

Great little cafe, i had the full breakfast last time it was great value with a drink included

I walked into an empty cafe a couple of days ago the girl serving behind the counter had seen me walk in. She stood talking to the kitchen staff for quite some time before she came to serve me . Then didn’t say anything when she eventually came to serve me . Just a simple hello /hi would be much more of a polite approach. Happens every time I come there . Cheer up ! I do like the breakfasts but the staff need to appreciate your customers little better .

Great little secret for a fab breakfast and relaxing atmosphere

Over priced and under cooked. Making the most of a captive audience. Very Very poor.

Lovely fresh breakfast. Served piping hot and warm reception from Lucy. Ordered two Full English and tea n toast. Arrived within 15 minutes. Cafe is friendly, clean, modern and full of biker memorabilia. There is a lovely atmosphere and a good mix of people. Would definitely come again.

Proper good comfort food, when it's busy it's busy!

It’s a biker cafe and it’s a cracker of a breakfast. Lots of bikes outside for people to have a look at with J and S to wander around.

Cafe serving breakfasts, burger chips and much more, nice cakes. Especially the millionaires shortbread 😋 Lot's of bikers visit as it is next to J&S but it's open to everyone.

Been there loads of times usually happy with the breakfast, however paid just short of £20 for 2 ham and cheese toasties , I didn't really want the chips but was told by the not so happy "milly" I had to have them but "Just don't eat them " Gobsmacked, I won't be eating there again 🙄

A cracking roadside cafe stop (seems to be mainly for bikers but everyone welcome)...

Went yesterday breakfast not a good as usual. Tinned mushrooms (yugh) different beans taste very sweet. ( been going regularly for 2 - 3 years). Won't b going again.

Nice cafe with motorcycle accessory shop on the same site, good parking. Food was freshly cooked and well presented, and a good cup of coffee.

Telephone order not started until I arrived Bacon sausage and tomato Only one slice of bacon sandwich not even cut in half Cost £5.24 Will not be returning 🤬

Good cafe to know, next to J & S store.

You won’t find a better cafe serving an amazing fry-up breakfast anyway close. We stopped here as a family after the kids demanded an all-day breakfast. A fantastic plate of food and coffee in a nice, light and extremely clean restaurant area, all for £8, unbelievably great value. If you’re after a cracking breakfast, this is the place. The lunch menu also looked amazing, we’ll be back!

An absolutely cracking full English every time we go. Great breakfast before a good walk. The service is always quick and polite, the breakfast delicious. It has a very friendly atmosphere. We love this cafe!!

Ive been all over recently looking for a good breakfast and some in the pub told me about Fourways last night and is well worth the drive absolutely the best breakfast in the UK hands down . Other food places should go and look at how it should be done

Edit 31/01/23. I was invited back by the owner to give Fourways another try. I've left my original review down below for reference. On this second visit, standards were super high. Not only was the food delicious, the quantity was substantial and it was cooked quickly. Service this time was with a smile and a chat too, which added a friendly personal touch. We were welcomed in and weren't rushed. A really nice experience and I'm already looking forward to my next visit. Actions have clearly been taken to improve the experience and these haven't gone unnoticed. While not directly related to Fourways, the conveniences on site have been revamped recently too and are tenfold better than they were previously. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wish I could give 5 stars. I have visited a number of times and never had an issue. Always good food and served pretty fast. Today we visited and found a lady on the till who made us feel like our patronage was an inconvenience. We were told to sit on the bar stools next to the door because we were “only” having tea and a biscuit. We had to remind her that we asked for a flap jack too since she claims she never heard it but did hear the request for 2 teas immediately before it and the shortbread immediately afterwards. Cafe wasn’t full by any stretch but the fella being served behind us was told in no uncertain terms that he would be asked to leave if the place filled up. Clearly, customer service was not prioritised or appreciated during this visit and it really has put a real downer on visiting again. The rest of the staff are great and always polite. Shame one of them spoils it for the rest. Tea was nice and the flapjack wasn’t bad either. Would recommend to anyone as long as they don’t have the bad luck to be served by this individual.

Waited ages to be served some dog meat on a bun by a miserable woman. Completely different price to the menu said aswell. Never again, dive.

Called in to Fourways Cafe for a breakfast in the week. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Quality breakfast and good value for money. I would certainly recommend and will be visiting again. Dog friendly as well which was a bonus .

Great value and thoroughly enjoyable breakfast. Food was freshly cooked and service was excellent. Dog friendly as well so was ideal before our walk in Delamere.

Visited for breakfast. Both food and service were excellent. Staff were really friendly and accommodating. Food was piping hot and was cellar freshly cooked. Will definitely be returning.

Great cafe ,never had any bad food or drinks , the staff are all ways frendly and helpfull , we use the cafe alot no probs 👍

The best Full English Breakfast in the U.K!

Stopped in for breakfast mid week. Food was cooked fresh (not kept in a heating tray) and tasted great. Had a medium and large breakfast both included a hot drink, £8 and £10. We left feeling stuffed so very good value. The girl behind the counter was pleasant and efficient.

This is the place where we go to a lot. Today we called in to have food and drink. We asked them if they would just do scramble egg for my partner due to him having throat cancer and on a restricted diet. They blatantly refused NO. Which I think is totally disgusting as only wanted one egg. Ruth from Wrexham

Great to go back and eat in after lockdown. 1st class breakfast as usual, great quality, excellent service, fab price. It sets me up right for the rest of the day. Thanks. Cheers.

Absolute belter of a breakfast. Food was cracking and really good value too, would recommend

Great breakfast, didn’t wait too long even though it was very busy, staff very welcoming & helpful. Will definitely be back soon!

Visited this J and S cafe on Monday 3rd October and was greeted by a delightful lady. I wasn't sure what to order and the lady helped me pick something I would normally eat. Prices are really reasonable. Very busy, but food was really quick. The ladies never stopped, seemed under staffed. When I was leaving lady on till gave big smile and bid me a farewell told me to ride safe. Will definitely return.

Would of been no stars, but the food was good, but the woman behind the counter, was rude and sullen, I said thank you as we left, and she totally blanked me and walked off. We won't be back.

Not that good but to be fair it was late in the day and appeared to be short staffed. I suspect once breakfast and lunch are out the way the main bulk of customers is done with. That said it's popular understandably with the motorcycle fraternity and is a welcome stop off for a snack and cuppa.

Used to be ok now it's more self service got to go pick up your food then take plates back ..next they will be expecting you to wash them ..wont be frequenting again.

Placed our order with a very rude and abrupt older lady on the till. My first visit and probably my last due to her attitude

Was a brilliant cafe. Now cold food. Covered in heaps of butter when ordered dry. Twice had sausages with bits of bone in them.

Been coming here for years for breakfast with my husband, food is nice, service is fast. Great place to meet up with other bikers.

Called into four ways cafe & ordered sliced cold ham two eggs & chips the ham was beautiful not wafer thin could thick slices two of them the chips were perfect light golden colour fresh cooked.The eggs were just right so I could dip my chips the meal was served on a dinner plate & filled & a large tea all for under a tenner.Just brilliant Garry.

Good food at reasonable prices. Looking a bit rough round the edges nowadays. Seating inside and out, can get busy weekends.

Used to be Harringtons caravans, near Delamere Forest, its a lovely cafe, very reasonable priced, food nice

Friendly staff , good atmosphere , loads of food 4 your money :)

Waited behind one other person to be served, once the person in front was served the lady behind counter just walked away into kitchen without uttering a word and did not return for a good five minutes. Totally Rude and unacceptable way to treat people, if you were short staffed and on your own, a simple few words explaining would have been appropriate, but ignorant and arrogant behaviour isn't. When you did return to the counter to serve myself and by then others waiting no explanation or apology was offered. Manners cost nothing, your business depends on customers. Try treating them a bit better.

Another visit to the cafe ruined by cold barely cooked bacon and an overly buttered bap. Do they not test the temperature of the bacon before serving it to customers??? I'm sure that's a health and safety requirement, or is it from yesterday??? It seems by other reviews this happens often, and the option of asking for crispy bacon is a cop out and blaming the customer for wanting actual cooked bacon, This is not the first time either. 2 stars are for 1, having vimto zero, and the second for the tea being ok👍

Polite, friendly and fun. Prompt, efficient and tasty food.

They do a good veggie breakfast.

Top food,and service, lovely staff always welcoming 🍽☕

After many years of being a regular visitor I thought the staff member was a one off a few weeks ago but after returning today the older lady in charge is a very miserable an unhelpful her attitude is awful, bring back millie,we won't return,I thought you should be looking after your regulars not getting rid of them,really horrible lady who makes you feel your putting her out

Catch up with your biker mates , while your having breakfast.

Love the all day breakfast there.

Busy as usual, good service and food again.

Been visiting this cafe for years. Food is OK. Not the best biker cafe but not bad. Coffee poor. Lady on the counter with tattooed arm needs to improve her people skills.

Called in to the Fourways for a spot of breakfast after reading reviews. Plenty of parking outside. Place is clean and inviting. Service friendly & quick. Good breakfast choices all at reasonable prices, you can even build your own breakfast. Opted for the Fourways Full English, very tasty and very filling. Comes with 4 slices of bread and tea or coffee. Would certainly go again if ever in the area.

Not the best experience yesterday I'm afraid. The place was hardly busy, but the wait for just coffee & toast was bizzare. 10-15mins for just the toast!! 😳The coffee was Dire! Possibly the worst I've experienced for a very long time. Basically, it didn't taste of Coffee!. I did ask if they had any instant coffee granules, to install some quick coffee flavour back in ( Desperate Measures!!) but was, told something about it's only available for folk who have ordered a full cook breakfast, or something similar. It wasn't worth pursuing, life's too short! Hence it we all left.

You can’t substitute any items on the breakfast which is not really working with you and your dietary requirements. The lady on the till was very surly and just said no or we can take it off, wouldn’t of been too bad if she was regretful about it and apologetic. The wrong staff in public facing roles can make a real impact. The bacon also needs cooking properly instead of just showing it to the pan.

Always good fast service Nice food Will definitely be back again

stopped at the Fourways cafe and grill after looking for some were to eat all i can say was the food was lovely fresh and very tasty best breakfast lunch we have had with a big mug of tea great value for money ,only one thing i would add is maybe somthing in place for a wheelchair user we did get in ok but somebody else may struggle,we will be back thou.

Love the food from here and the staff are very friendly

Always good when I go, I just need to try more of the menu

Good food, hot and tasty. Coffee good aswell. Reasonably priced.

Most disgusting ladies loo filthy dirty,

Called in for a brew; as we only wanted a cuppa and a biscuit, was told we have to go outside or door on two stools at the back. Then she misheard my order and gave me items one and three as "she didn't hear the second one as I was wearing a mask"!! I was speaking at the same volume, so not my fault, Miserable Mare! Now they've run out of food so customers are leaving. What's happened here??? Serving staff are great, feel sorry for them!

Love the biker atmosphere in this place

I go to a few cafes and this is the best

does quite a good full english at a reasonable price 7 quid with a brew..decent .

Great little biker cafe. Lovely choice of foods. Friendly staff.. bikers beware you might be forced to spend money on bike stuff in the shops like I did 😉 lol

Great coffee and breakfast. Very friendly staff. Thank you

Friendly service and excellent value for money. Staff very friendly.

Good food and plenty of it. Great prices
