Love To Eat in West Lancashire

Friendly staff greeted us as soon as we arrived, despite being busy they cleared a table for us and offered us menus as we sat down. After we'd had time to browse the menu they let us know what the soup of the day was and asked if we were ready to order. Once we had ordered our meals (veggie lasagne and a cheese omelette) our drinks were quickly prepared so we enjoyed those whilst we waited for our food. The portion size was ideal for lunch and it is real comfort food. We enjoyed our visit to the cafe as it was relaxed and the staff were brilliant. Would definitely recommend!

fantastic cream scones and gorgeous pots of tea,,good value for money,,,only issue it can get a little noisy when the place is full

I visited on a very cold afternoon for a coffee. Delicious coffee however i feel I have to make the following observations. Firstly, a family when entering the cafe were told it was closed however the waitress continued to serve a couple of customers with further coffee and cake about 30 minutes later. One of the waitresses due to finish a shift was in the food preparation area brushing her hair - not good. Thirdly, I asked where the toilet was and was given directions only to be then told that it wasn't working, I'm not sure I would be keen to return to this cafe. With regards to the hair brushing this is a basic hygiene issue.

I went here for lunch with my niece on New Year’s Day and was delighted at how helpful and accommodating they were to me (I am gluten intolerant). On entry, I asked if there were any gluten free choices on their menu. The waitress confessed that she wasn’t completely sure but that she knew the jacket potatoes were gluten free and offered to ring the kitchen to find out what fillings were ok for me to eat. The waitress then came over to our table to tell me that they had gluten free bread and that they could do me a sandwich if I wanted as well. I opted for a Caesar salad and they even did me some croutons for the salad using the gluten free bread they had! Wonderful experience and I will be back at this place again in the future, I am sure.

A pleasant little cafe in the heart of Ormskirk. I went there for lunch. As we entered they asked if we wanted food or just coffee. As we wanted food, they admitted that there would be a 20min wait. No big deal for us. In the meantime we ordered a coffee and got the menu's. The place is clean and the staff friendly. The food did indeed arrived within 20mins of order and was very nice indeed. Well presented and more than enough for a lunch. The coffee is excellent tasting as well, as are the festive options such as the orange Hot chocolate and the Toffee Nut Maple Latte. Our course of southern fried chicken burger with chunky chips was very tasty, We didn't use the facilities. If I was to criticize, it would be the size of the coffees, considering the price, and no option for a large version of the same. I would seriously consider having large versions for the price indicated, and cheaper option for the size of the cups provided. Overall though, the food was very good and good value. Just sort out the coffee situation.

Went in for breakfast, looks ok BUT waited over half an hour for food, which was of very poor quality and cheap produce. Also very over priced for what we had. Will not be visiting this cafe again!!!

I order chips with chicken strips I only half seen the price and I gave her £20 , I openned the tray up the chips where 10 a penny frozen chips put in a fryer for a couple of min and the chicken strips where 10 a penny frozen ones , I doulbled looked at the change then I went back in and they cost me £ 11 POUND !!!! ingredients would have about .60p if that food terrible for the price , take away end of the night about 3 or 4 quid IF THAT , the place will be 100% shut before march next year , I will NEVER go in again and threw the chips in a bin

a nice looking cafe BUT buyer beware! the inside of the cafe is lovely BUT the toilets ARE DISGRACEFUL !!!!!! They smell, no paper, nowhere to dry hands, handrails are rusty and there was a dirty, smelly and well worn mop stood in the corner....... surely the toilets are inspected by the hygiene people..... STAY AWAY

Been three times.first time cooker broke. Second time only serving drinks and cakes.third time just drinks.bad luck or badly run?

after order food our drinks came but the toasted tea cakes never came had to ask for them after coffee cold and they had forgotten to do them - the girl had gone out side to use her mobile phone surely she check her customers before her break then we had to wait another 5 mins. not happy will not go back

Had to wait very long time .everything has burnt even the mushrooms. The only good thing about the place is the decorations.

1st they delivered our food to the next table, which the next table accepted, although they hadn't ordered the same food. When we pointed out they had given our order to the next table, the manager came out and apologised to the next table for the mix up and that they didn't have peas with their fish and chips, chip my mum had not ordered with her meal. They had ordered sandwiches, We' d ordered fish and chip and scampi and chips. They continued to serve other people and take their food to the tables and never once came to say your food won't be long. We gave up and paid for our drinks and left. While the chef was telling the girls behind the counter he had no grill, oven or microwave. Can't complain about the food as it never arrived.

Went here today with a friend. Great location in the heart of Ormskirk town centre with friendly and professional staff and great food (I had a pot of tea to drink and a waffle with syrup to eat which were both lovely). Highly recommended!!

Very small portions and totally overpriced for what you get. Cakes are ok but again very small portions

Horrendous food. Everything over cooked. Ordered avocado on toast and it was brown slush. Asked about it which I never do and was told that's the colour it goes. I asked if it was fresh and they replied yes it was and had just been made but the avocados are frozen. It cost £8. Sent it back. Also asked about dairy free options and given a list of milks. When asking about food there was no information and told we would just have to say and they would ask the kitchen. Felt very unconfident about what we were given. Would not recommend or ever return. Even one star is too much. Staff were not helpful and not bothered.

I ordered quiche and chips and my daughter ordered Casear salad. This was the worst quiche ive ever had, it had obviously been microwaved, i had no idea what sort of quiche it was because it had no flavour, a rubbery top and soggy pastry....

Never ever have we encountered such terrible food. We ordered 2 quiche with chips and salad. Now, anybody can cook a few chips and warm up a piece of quiche, but not here. Chips not just undercooked, RAW, quiche, sloppy in parts, other parts you...

Ordered a small English breakfast and smashed avocado and poached eggs on toast & 2 glasses of fresh orange juice. Food was of a poor standard and was charged £24.50 waitress had extremely muddy shoes on do not visit this cafe

We had a long wait for our food and upon arrival was nothing special. Staff were friendly and drinks ok.

Cold food , didn’t have a lot of what we wanted from the menu , we left most of it ,, The staff are very disorganised and to make it worse it’s expensive, avoid !

My husband, brother and I met for breakfast. There are plenty of places to have breakfast but they all offer more traditional breakfasts. We like a broader choice, porridge, smashed avo’s eggs Benedict and the like. We got exactly what we wanted. Beautifully presented, fresh...

Called in today with my daughter and her eighteen month old little boy in his pram, was met with glares from the two women behind the counter who watched me and my daughter try to manoeuvre his pram so we could get him into a...

Dont go over priced staff hopeless they were laying down on bench seat next to counter did not have what we asked for had to wait for 15mins for a scone and cream tea cake was like a rock cake hard as a rock. We...

This is my favourite breakfast/brunch spot in the area. The staff are really friendly and very helpful. The food is delicious and service is prompt. The facilities are adequate and the decor is pleasent and inviting. Overall its a very enjoyable place to attend

25th July. My brother and I both ordered a breakfast here, it was delicious,beautifully cooked poached egg with my breakfast and the staff were friendly and professional.We sat outside in the sun,my only gripe would be the very small table,not enough room.

My son lives nearby and had recommended the place. We (my son, my niece, and myself) went in, were seated at a clean table with plenty of space for the three of us. They were serving a limited menu, but this was explained to us...

Appalling, management fail to disclose vital information regarding job description There employing people to fill in staff sickness then discard you like baggage , no wonder both sites are closed most days as they can't keep hold of good staff Management are shambolic

Good service by staff. Very pleasant though a little slow. Food was really good and not too expensive. Only bad point was £3.50 for a coffee is a little over the top.

Waited over 40 minutes for our food to arrive, drinks arrived after about 10 minutes, food was overpriced and not good, very disappointed, won't be returning 😒

How does this cafe justify its inflated prices ? Ordered a extra hot latte which wasn’t hot. Service slow. Don’t know why anyone would return. Best part of £9 for 3 “hot” drinks. Bit of a rip off in my opinion.

What a mess! The staff didn’t have a clue what they were doing. Cakes were being served before drinks and from a quick observation tables who had ordered before me were served much later then my self. Very slow service and the staff looked like...

Attractive looking cafe from the outside but we had a very odd eating experience. Ordered mid afternoon brew and snack for Mum and myself - toasted teacakes and hot chocolate. Hot chocolate arrived cold and teacakes were barely toasted on one side. Gave straight back...

Visited for drinks and cakes with my 3 children. At only 11.30am there were only a total of 5 slices from 3 different cakes left, so the only choice was to have them or just have drinks, As kids were promised cakes, I ordered them...

Visited with my family today for a quick stop off before going to the park. Ordered 2 soft drinks, 2 milkshakes, a coffee, a scone and waffles. The soft drinks and coffee came quickly but the glasses had to be sent back as they had...

Staff were rude, absolutely no customer service skills. Toast was burnt. Pancakes undercooked. Clearly states that they are able to process contactless payment, this was refused! We had to pay by card, luckily we had one with us! Will not go back, would not recommend.

First visit to Ormskirk and found this nice independent cafe. Friendly team. Very nice toast and marmalade and hot coffees

Soo...went here for some lunch. The wife asked for some cake which was on display on the counter only to be told it wasnt ready as the staff hadn't yet cut the cake. WTF. I then observed the same member of staff turning down approx...

Popped in here for lunch as we are new to the area and had to start somewhere. As I am gluten intolerant had to check if the could cater and they had 1 cake and GF bread plus other things like jacket potatoes etc. I...

Situated in the centre of town opposite the Clock Tower. Went for lunch, excellent service and food. Very good coffee. Recommended.

On our way back home from Crosby called into Ormskirk and chose to eat here. Big mistake. Although it was 3pm, most dishes gone despite being open until 5pm. No quiche, stodgy pies, unimaginative food preparation. Clumsy staff who broke 3 items while were there....

Second time l have been. The first gave up waiting for a coffee. The second was just as long. Asked for tea for two. Came in a half filled cappuccino cup with tea bag in. Commented no spoon she said they hadn’t any. Milk came...

Great food and lovely service. Very baby friendly too. The Welsh Rarebit is very tasty and the coffee is good.

Visited with service user for breakfast we had a porridge and a love to eat breakfast. Staff very welcoming and friendly. Porridge with banana and honey very good. The decor and cleanliness fantastic defiantly a place to visit again

Went in on my own , i felt a bit embarrassed as it's "love to eat" & all I wanted was a coffee ! But the staff where very nice about it , didn't make me feel awkward , in fact one young lady came...

I recently visited Ormskirk and I came across this charming cafe called Love To Eat. The staff were so pleasant and helpful. Wonderful service, delicious food and overall a very welcoming experience. I’ll be back again! Well done girls!

Stopped in for breakfast on Bank Holiday Monday, excellent fare (I had the Full Monty and my wife had poached eggs and bacon on toast), served by a lovely chatty young lady who was super friendly. One to return to.

Today was my first visit to Love to Eat but overall I found it very good and value for money. Despite the fact that it was market day, lunch time and they were very busy a member of staff came over to me within a...

Had coffees here sitting outside. Both latte and cappuccino were good and we enjoyed some rare winter sunshine sitting outside on the street. Service was a little slow but they were busy.

Went with a couple of friends for a Saturday lunch. I ordered a panini but whilst it was generously filled it was cold by the time it arrived. One friend said the same about her lunch. They had obviously been sat on the counter for...

Most dry, lifeless chicken salad ive ever had. If you're going to charge £8 for a salad please make it fresh at least. Not a fussy person but Christ this salad was dead. Service pretty terrible too Pancakes and toasties looked decent though.

Visited here on a trip to ormskirk market, it's been here a while now but don't usually have time other than a quick drink somewhere. I had tuna sandwiches, tea. Very nicely presented with side salad and a pot of tea. Staff couldn't do enough...

Visited here today for lunch with my mum and daughter and we all really enjoyed it. Food was lovely, very fresh and the guy who was waiting on couldn't have been nicer, he was so pleasant and attentive.

This cafe is in the shopping area of Ormskirk, by the market clock tower. It is new and bright, with friendly staff. There is seating over 2 floors. The food is freshly cooked, the coffee is great, but rather pricey at £3.50 a cup. My...

We came across this cafe on a visit to Ormskirk. I had a coffee and the sandwich of the week ... which was turkey, cranberry and strutting on brown bread ... which came with a salad and some coleslaw. It was a fantastic sandwich ......

Visited this afternoon with my sister for the first and last time. We both ordered the full breakfast, my sister's came with brown toast she asked for white with no mushrooms on her plate. Both of us had cold beans & tomato also the fried...

I was in the area with the family not been to Ormskirk Town Centre before so was looking forward to it. It was great to get a table to accommodate the 5 of us. I had a coffee and the fish platter. It was very...

First of all no bacon so couldn't have breakfast , butcher's round the corner? Coffee came just aired Food arrived no cutlery on asking for some was told they had none as they had been busy but could give us children's cutlery !!!!! Could they...

I have eaten here on 4 occasions now and each time has been lovely! Staff were very accommodating when we brought children. Iv had both breakfast and lunch in this cafe and have nothing but positive experiences!

Great little cafe with fab selection of food. Had breakfast and lunch here a few times and everything has been delicious! Soup amd sandwich meals are particularly good! Staff friendly and cafe is lovely and clean. Also is a great place to people watch as...

We have eaten in this establishment on three separate occasions, and we can honestly say that the only criticism we have is that, when we ordered a breakfast, the baked beans were only warm and not hot. The rest of the meal was lovely, as...

I took my mum for lunch. She had fish and chips. The batter was too hard to eat and the fish was grey. My mum struggled to eat any of it. Frankly my dog would have turned his nose up at it. I did speak...

Visited with a friend after we had launched elsewhere, as they always have a good selection of cakes. I chose coffee and walnut cake and my friend had bakewell tart. I could not identify any coffee flavour, or any walnuts for that matter. My friend...

Went for lunch on a Sunday, it was half full. Sat upstairs, appeared expensive but I thought if it's homemade then I don't mind too much, picked our meals and afterwards was told it was a 40 minute wait. We left as we didn't have...

The location is great if you want to watch the shoppers of Ormskirk pass by. Large sunny windows, bright pleasant atmosphere. Staff were nice. We ordered an afternoon tea and a soup and sandwich. The food took 35 minutes to arrive. It wasn’t busy but...

Visited here yesterday on market day , busy lunchtime but we were offered a table upstairs . My husband had a baked potato and I had a ham omelette both meals accompanied with a lovely fresh salad . A very decent pot of tea followed...

Lovely location, looks like possibly the best in town, a corner plot next to the clock tower. Can only assume that because they must pay a fortune in rent/rates/bills they make savings on the ingredients Fish goujons were a tiny amount of a mysterious grey...

Went in today for a lunchtime sandwich, as it looked nice. Staff there were very nice and friendly - wouldn't have guessed it as the young waitress' first day if she hadn't told me. Had a great sweet chilli chicken sandwich, thanks! Little bit pricey...

Oh dear. Went in for lunch, was very disappointed. Took nearly 45 mins to arrive. Were offered free refills to apologise, as we’re many others. Food when it did arrive was mediocre at best. Come on, invest in a good chef! If you charge these...

Called in this afternoon for drinks, they were served quickly and were good quality. Can't comment on food as we didn't have any but looking around at others plates it looked pretty good, how it tasted I don't know!

Ideal place for a lovely lunch, right in the centre of town. Friendly Staff, nice food. They do a good milkshake too. Will visit again next time I'm in town.

Awful!!! Coffee cold, food disgusting! And when I complained I got asked why! Very rude!! The waitress just stood there with her grey (I guess meant to be white) t shirt with her bra showing through, not very professional at all!! Will never go again!

Second visit ! Never again ! Scrambled egg ! Looked like Been made in a dirty pan ,not at all appetising especially for a little one! No offer changing it or knocking off bill ! Staff couldn’t care less , one in particularly, looked as...

NEVER AGAIN. From the outside of this establishment, it looks clean, tidy and you want to go in and enjoy your meal. I ordered Steak Pie and my wife ordered Quiche with a baked potato. I asked for beans with my steak pie instead of...

Had a lovely visit at this little cafe we did have to wait as it was busy but we didn't mind as the staff were lovely and always making sure we were alright and when the food came out it was worth the wait will...

2nd visit, won't be a third! Quite expensive £6.95 for a sandwich. Waited over 1/2hr in a quiet cafe, service was poor!

Ormskirk shop is a appalling ,30minutes for our order of 2 brown wholemeal sandwiches one tuna mayo with no salad and one prawn marie with no salad and a pot of tea On arrival the tuna came as a toastie with cheese and salad we...

So happy i came in today after a day of shopping with the wife. Was peaceful and friendly. Very clean relaxing place and good coffee and food. Price was brill (£24) for 2 drinks and 2 sandwiches and 2cakes. Carrot cake was nice and service...

Popped in for a sandwich with my husband on Bank Holiday Monday. Waitress gave us menu didn't come back for a while so we copied another couple and went to order at counter, then a waitress comes and takes an order from another table (who...

Visiting Ormskirk for its Saturday market and decided to stop at Love to Eat. We have been passed there many times but never stopped but always thought it looked a nice place. It was a lovely sunny day so decided we would sit outside and...

Visited my daughter. Found this cafe in the centre of Ormskirk Nice menu with plenty of choice The service was good and staff friendly Very nice carrot cake and bake well tart , nothing to hard but all the same well done

Called in for breakfast last week, staff were pleasant enough, quite a wait for the food though and it wasn't particularly good quality and was overcooked. I probably won't be coming back here!

Saw the amazing cake on display and decided to go in had coffee and saw the food being served and decided to eat my wife had the chicken wrap with chilli sauce and I had home made soup which was delicious service and staff very...

Went this morning to Ormskirk decided to have breakfast, saw this cafe on the main street thought we would try it. Wasn't very busy were greeted by a waitress so far so good. Ordered a breakfast and a coffee. The coffee was ok, the food...

Could not believe the bad level of service in this cafe. Waitress on phone most of the time. I'm not usually a person to complain but this morning just took the biscuit. The breakfast was so bad our cats would have turned their noses up...

While travelling through Ormskirk my wife and I stopped for a coffee. If possible we prefer to use independent coffee shops rather than the big names so we took a table in Love to Eat. Although it is waitress service, there was no waitress to...

Visited here earlier today, just after lunch, but won’t be going back. Place was fairly busy, about 10 tables with 2 members of staff taking orders and payment and somebody working on another floor who provided the food and some drinks via a dumb waiter....

Although the service staff were lovely the food was the worst I’ve tasted in a long time. I had one mouth full and I couldn’t eat anymore , it’s such a shame because it looks wonderful from the outside .

Avoid this place if you want a quiet place to eat. When clearing up tables staff just slam down knives, fork and plates drag tables and chairs around making as much noise as they can. Food okay but over priced and the cappuccino are awful....

We have been here a few times for their lovely home made cakes and coffee. Occasionally had sandwiches too , which were very nice. Service is rather slow though and I don't like to be served with dessert prior to receiving the sandwiches. Decided to...

Looks lovely. Was early morning...so not busy. Staff disinterested. Ordered tea and toast which was nearly £4...toast arrived...cold and severely undercooked...more like stale bread. Was sorted out but surely...if the serving staff took more interest, it should not have got to the table in the...

Me and my fiance have been a couple of times since opening and every time we have been we have never been disappointing, staff are amazing and friendly. they never fail to go the extra mile for their customers. amazing service, amazing food, and amazing...

Called in for a hot drink, from a cold, windy market day. Initially wanting coffees, we decided to share a toasted fruit teacake, although 2 small butter pats were a bit scant for our toast, they could've been a little more generous!. The lattes were...

Food ok, but broke the golden rule of serving hot food, you should serve hot food on a hot plate, that's basic knowledge, and they don't, sent mine back and were not that happy to oblige, but they did, should not have to ask.

The first day we came to town we found this lovely place in the corner and we decided to take breakfast there, we got granola and a latte! Everything was too yummy to be real but the granola jar was too much for us!! Great...

Went to ormskirk today and found this lovely cafe in the middle of town right next to the clock tower, i had a homemade pumpkin soup and a ham sandwich and it was gorgeous! The two girls working were really friendly and helpful! Will definitely...

Called in initially to shelter from the rain whilst waiting for someone . Busy cafe, looks inviting and clean. Glad I went in, good range of food on offer as well as drinks. Big pot of tea (that made me happy) I tried a cherry...

Clean pleasant place to eat ! Isn’t cheap for a basic sandwich. Coffee & tea quite expensive. Food presentation ok, lettuce had seen better days ! Would I go again ! Not really !

Pretty self explanatory title. We were in a group of 12 and waited for over 1.5 hours before we finally got our meals. Cold. Most of the meals were wrong, missing extra items. Never again

My daughter and I popped in yesterday on a visit to Ormskirk. The milkshakes are awesome and the staff lovely and attentive. Good food reasonably priced. Baked potato with coleslaw really tasty and breakfast really nice. Lovely big windows to look out at the market....

My wife and I have visited Love to Eat about once a week since they opened. On our last visit the service was poor and very slow. The staff were not very organised and although the food was OK the poor and slow service was...
