No. 15 Cafe House in South Ribble

No 16 is a welcoming, spotlessly clean cafe in Penwortham. The breakfast menu is extensive and great value. The eggs are always perfectly poached and the sausages are so tasty. Service is friendly and prompt and the Americano delicious. I can’t recommend this café enough for breakfast.

I cannot praise Sophie enough for the amazing service we received for Katie’s baby shower. There were 27 of us which took some organising but having the venue to ourselves and being allowed to decorate the venue early doors really helped. The afternoon tea was lovely and plentiful, we even got boxes to take the leftovers home. The service was fantastic and all dietary requirements were catered for.. Thanks Sophie for being so accommodating and making the day such a great success and special for our baby Mamma xxx

Arranged my friends baby shower at No 15 and we were able to have the café to ourselves. This made it really personal and I was able to arrive early to decorate. The afternoon tea was delicious and the service from Sophie was amazing. She made sure we all had everything we needed and went above and beyond to accommodate all our dietary requirements. Also, the coffee is always really good and I'm fussy about my coffee!

Lovely food and great service. Much better than other local cafes I’ve visited with much more variety. Will be coming back 🥰

Unfortunately I booked a table for 4 people instead of 5 in error. However, the staff managed to sort this out quickly despite being clearly very busy. They were most accommodating with all our requests (of which there were many) and showed good humour and professionalism. The food, service and environment were 5 star plus, thank you

Called in for a bite to eat on a very cold day, and the cafe was warm and inviting. The food was nicely presented and tasty and the staff were, as always, friendly and attentive.

I ordered a tuna sandwich with chips £11.49 (not a typo the sandwich on its own is £8.99). I specifically asked about the type of bread as I didn’t want a small sandwich. My daughter ordered an expensive chip butty, my wife soup and a sandwich. When the food came my wife and daughter had sensible sized sandwiches which looked great. HOWEVER when mine came I thought i had been given a child’s sandwich by mistake. At £11.49 I expect to have an adults sized portion size. I sent it back and picked up a subway sandwich on the way home. If you’re charging big prices do the right thing and send out proper portion sizes.

Thank you to Sophie and the team. Another fantastic lunch. The vegetarian festive sandwich amazing .. Lovely gorgeous the best . I liked it 😄 Lovely food lovely staff lovely place to chill. Just had to say thank you . Anne and family Xxx

Lovely gem of a place, cosy, friendly, the food was delicious and it was constantly busy which to me means its a great place. I would definitely recommend this cafe to everyone. They even have gluten free options too which was ideal for me. Plus gluten free cake to finish off a nice chicken & bacon salad. We will definitely be returning again soon for a bite to eat.

I love visiting this cafe on Monday , well worth a visit if you have never been. Me and my partner went for breakfast & woooow. It looked as good as it tasted. The staff where attentive & friendly. My partner loved the breakfast for the hungrier and we try many breakfasts at places.I also had some cake as I like a treat while I’m out they are delicious & I found a very good selection. They also had a takeaway cake box offer which we took full advantage & the scones where yummy. We will definitely be back.

Visited this morning for breakfast with the family , the prices are on the higher side so would expect good produce and service . The cooked breakfast comes with pork and leek sausage which I would say are more of a supper sausage rather than breakfast sausage ,other than this the rest of the breakfast was good . What was most disappointing about the visit was at end the waitress left us with our bill which we paid for in cash and upon walking just out of the door to leave she shouted across the cafe at us (at this point most of the other diners looked up too) “ excuse me have you paid !” To which I replied yes we paid cash ! With no apology from her either !

A handy cafe off the main road in Penwortham food cooked to order breakfast always tasty and their coffee is always good, helpful and friendly staff

Lovely place for a quick lunch with friends. Food is very good and well presented although menu sometimes feels a bit limited.

I regular visits No 15 cafe house with family. Fantastic service, amazing food and a lovely atmosphere always. The staff are always very friendly and accommodating. Recently had the festive afternoon tea which was the best afternoon tea we have ever had - would definitely recommend.

My husband and I found this cafe on the way across the country and what a find! The staff are so friendly and helpful. The food is delicious, with the most tempting range of cakes. We had a light lunch that was perfect - a club sandwich and the homemade soup. Everything was quality produce, including the delicious granary bread. The atmosphere is warm and friendly and the room is cleanw with stylish decoration. I suffer from many allergies, which normally throws a kitchen into chaos. But the staff here were overly helpful and put me at ease that my food was allergen free. I had utter confidence and could fully enjoy my meal! We saw many young families here with kids, either in prams or seats. It looked like a lovely place for mums to chill or for friends to meet for a natter over a meal or drink! I fully recommend a visit to this understated cafe, A true gem!

I don’t normally write reviews but felt this cafe deserved one. The food and drinks are amazing and all the staff are lovely. There’s a nice relaxed atmosphere and we will be visiting here again.

Delicious brekkie with my friend. Sausage and bacon on a bun. Cooked perfectly. Staff wearing masks. Sanitised menus and tables. Definitely recommend.

Went today with a friend for brunch. We both had poached eggs & I am known to be a “bit” fussy on how they are cooked, but perfection. The staff were very helpful & welcoming. The post COVID standards were very good. The face coverings...

This coffee house is honestly so cute, everything is thought out. The staff are lovely and make it feel like a community

Although we enjoyed our coffee and cake I watched someone preparing a hot chocolate for a customer and was appalled at the poor hygiene standards. The server put her hands into a jar of marshmallows several times to grab handfuls which were then piled high...

I’ve been going here, probably once a monthly since it opened and it never changes it’s standard. Fantastic quality of food, friendly staff and fabulous decor. Great place to catch up with friends or have a mother/ daughter lunch. Well done Number 15 keep going.

Went for a family lunch today, the food was great and the staff extremely attentive. The atmosphere was lovely, we will definitely be coming back.

It was my first time here as a new mum recently, and when we asked for a high chair we were told “we don’t do high chairs”. Yes, it’s a small cafe, but there was plenty of space at our table for a high chair...

We came here for breakfast in December. Portion size was good and the staff was really friendly. Recommended

Called for lunch with a friend. The staff are really welcoming and the food is just great. Very highly recommended.

Visited with my best friend very near Christmas, was busy but table was available immediately, the food was superb and prices are very reasonable..we are going again for afternoon birthday tea... looking forward to this...thumbs up.

Visited this cafe last Thursday with a friend for our lunch, albeit it was a very late lunch, however we managed to get a table for 2 no problem. Once seated a waitress asked us if we would like a drink and gave us the...

Having been recommended this cafe by friends I recently went for breakfast. Amazing eggs benedict. My wife had the full English which was also extremely good. The cafe is very stylish and the staff delightful. We will be visiting again on our next trip to...

The cafe itself is lovely and the staff are friendly and helpful. I only ordered toast and I'm not sure what I expected but 2 slices of thin Warburton bread wasn't exactly a highlight! Maybe I expected too much but I assumed the toast would...

I went in this morning with my Mum for a coffee as I do most Saturdays. Sophie made us delicious tasting coffees as she always does and was her usual friendly efficient self. The coffee is excellent and so is the service.

Last minute decision to call in for some lunch with a friend.Very busy but found us a table quickly.Good menu choices all freshly made not kept waiting.Attatched is a very nice gift shop with a good range of interesting items.A pleasant environment for a chat and food .

Enjoyed coffee and a delicious piece of ‘bakewell cake’. Great service, even at 4pm in the afternoon.

I’ve lost count how many times we’ve been here now after moving to Penwortham a couple of years ago! The food, the service, the cakes - all amazing!

We live close to this delightful cafe shop and we just love going there. The food is wonderful, the staff lovely and friendly; especially Caitlan & Sophie who always remember us and we always look forward to seeing them. Caitlan always brings my second Cappucino without me having to ask. Janet and I enjoy relaxing and chatting, it is one of our "happy places".

Made a second visit here after giving it a poor review 6 months ago. Very pleasantly surprised to report that this time the environment was spotless, the staff pleasant and the coffee and cake delicious. Maybe the owner has taken note! Great!

Had an amazing time within the cafe, having a yummy festive lunch and then a peruse within the shop. Would highly recommend for amazing cake and beautiful gifts.

Come here once a week with a friend. Met by Alison who remembers are names and welcomes into the cafe.

I go here at least three times a week and it's always a great place to chill out and have a relaxing coffee. The service is great especially from Sophie who is extremely efficient and she's always very friendly and chatty which makes going nicer.

I arrived at the cafe with my son at 1230 for a quick lunch we were quickly seated the place was fairly tables were very close to each other. The lovely Alison took out orders she was very pleasant very professionals and explained that the tart of the day was and have us the menu see picture . I ordered the creamy mushroom on sourdough bread and my son ordered the egg mayonnaise sandwich which arrived with some crisps and salad . The food arrived within 10 mins .. the place was immaculate clean cuttleries on the table there was however no salt . Salt was provided when we asked the waitress. The creamy mushroom served hot thr sour dough bread was toasted a little hard to cut with a knife the salad which accompanied the mushroom was lovely the dressing was sweet and really tasty. My son enjoyed his lovely sandwich which came with some crisps and salad we also had a side of sweet potato fries which was just warm ... for desert we chose the cakes we wanted which were displayed at the til we ordered the carrot cake a good portion was served and I had the bakewell tarte which was again very fresh not overly sweet. I really think what made the place so brilliant was not only its cosy and contemporary feel was a lot to do with not only the decor but also the friendliness of the waiting staff a big thank you to Alison who had a very friendly demeanour and the lady serving at the till I did not catch her name she had short black hair and there was a very pleasant young lady who was in and out if the kitchen always had a smile on her face and appear to enjoy her job . I visited the place for the first time was very impressed by the food cleanliness however it was a little pricey but worth every penny. Please see pictures for food . The bill for the two meals and cakes and a cappuccino and a cup of coffee came up to 29 pounds. The place was very busy and there was adequate staff two people in the kitchen and two serving one at the till which makes such a difference. I shall definitely return to sample other meals .

Me and my mum decided to try out a new local place for lunch on a Saturday which we don’t do very often. We where greeted by the lovely arrangement of cakes and very friendly staff who guided us to a perfect table. There was plenty of choice of food for all dietary requirements. My mum had eggs royale which the poached eggs where cooked perfectly, I myself had the Ham sandwich on granary bread which is the best fresh bread I have ever tasted. We couldn’t fit a cake up but was told by a polite girl we could take them away with us which we did. I will be definitely returning and recommend to anyone.

Went for lunch for my Mum’s birthday. Lovely food and service. We had club sandwich, eggs benedict, jacket potato and tart of the day. All delicious. We finished we a mix of cakes to share and coffee. The cakes were scrummy too. This is a great place for lunch or even just to pop in for coffee!

I had the pleasure of visiting No15 in Penwortham the other day what a find. I was immediately struck by the cakes on display and the utter cleanliness of the place. This is a cafe which obviously puts its customers at the heart of its business. Nothing was too much trouble, plenty of staff and very quick service. I explained that I was on a keto diet and would it be possible to have scrambled eggs and bacon. Not a problem said the waitress and promptly produced the best scrambled egg I have ever tasted. The beautifully cooked bacon was true quality.

Visited with my wife for brunch and thoroughly enjoyed both the quality and menu choice, as well as the friendly and attentive service. Only a few tables were occupied when we arrived, but soon all were taken and no surprise - lovely!

This is the third time I've met up with friends for breakfast. Food is fabulous - included vegetarian breakfast and a vegan breakfast today. The menu is great. Something for everyone. Cafe is spotless. Prices are good value. Service excellent. Had a lovely morning. Just wished we had space left for cakes as they also looked amazing. 10/10

I've been here many times and always had a good experience; today was no exception. The café was full at lunchtime but a very kind member of staff managed to find us a table for four by swapping some of the reserved tables. Despite the busyness, our coffees and scones arrived quickly. However, there is normally a large selection of cakes, some unusual ones too but today we had a choice of about 3. We both opted for the giant scone which was fresh and delicious although a little short of cream and jam - twice as much was needed, as was some butter. The coffee was delicious!

Back from Sydney, Australia & visited McMillans several times...never disappoints, coffee excellent, scones even better. Staff are friendly, place is clean and tidy, always leaving you wanting to return. James, from Sydney.

My adult son and I visited late afternoon recently. There were a few cakes none of which looked fresh or appetising. The tables are very close together, the place was untidy, and the staff weren’t welcoming or friendly. There were a few other customers but no nice atmosphere. I think it’s right being named, Cafe House as it certainly didn’t feel like an endearing coffee shop. The coffees weren’t great either. Won’t be returning or recommending sadly.

No 15 Café House is an exemplar of dining excellence. The food is a diverse range of culinary delight. The staff are personable, engaging and professional, and the combination of the gift shop and a high quality adjoining café serves as a unique experience.

No 15 is a great place to enjoy lunch with friends. Visit often (love the home-made soups with fresh crusty bread), followed by on last visit turkey, brie and cranberry ciabatta - one of many great choices. And if you can fit it in, try a slice of their amazing cakes and a coffee!. Staff always efficient and friendly and atmosphere in the cafe is very welcoming. A trip round the gift shop to be recommended.

I recently visited the gorgeous No 15 for lunch with my teenage cousin and it certainly impressed both of us (teenage boy included!). Love the friendly atmosphere and the buzz of the place... The food was also amazing - I had the delicious falafel wrap and my cousin had a whopper of a club sandwich (which he said was the best club sandwich he's ever had).

I love atkinsons coffee and they sell it here at No 15, but when i recently had a coffee there i was dissapointed in the barista skills; my milk was burnt and wasnt smooth and therefore it didnt do the coffee any favours. Also no latte art :( sorry but need more training

My wife and I visited No.15 for lunch on a Wednesday. I started with a flat white (Atkinson’s Coffee), always good and I sometimes have two! I opted for the creamy wild mushrooms on toasted sourdough, the wife had eggs florentine, both served with a well seasoned salad garnish. The mushrooms were abundant and excellent. Shared a slice of ‘the best’ carrot cake. A very well presented cafe with plenty of seats and good coffee. Staff are attentive and there’s a gift shop next door which is worth a look.

So modern looking and a great lunch.

My friend and I visited yesterday whilst en route from Southport to a spa afternoon on the Fylde coast. We were quickly shown to a table and soon ordered our 'Lighter' breakfasts. The food came speedily, despite the cafe being busy, and was cooked to perfection. We both thoroughly enjoyed our late morning treat. It was a pleasure to discover the excellent gift shop next door. I defy anyone not to find the perfect gift here! My friend and I both bought gifts and cards for upcoming events at reasonable prices. The owner kindly offered to gift wrap them for us in return for a small donation to one of the charity boxes on the counter. I will most definitely be returning to Macmillans in the not-too-distant future.

A great cooked breakfast. Really nice ingredients cooked well. We've been trying all the local cafes in the area and this is our favourite breakfast.

I have visited here several times and it never disappoints. Food, surroundings and team are excellent. It can get very busy and the noise levels a bit high but it's worth it. You can even visit MacMillans nect door for some beautiful things. Win win.

Thanks so much for cheering up or day yesterday with great cake coffee and really friendly service. Rosewater Victoria was delicious as was my hubby's cherry and almond cake which I needed to taste to just to make sure. Thanks again x

This coffee shop and the adjoining gift shop make a great meeting place for a catch up. I brought two old friends here (first time for them) for a light lunch and a browse and they absolutely loved it. I just had a coffee and a scone but they both opted for a light meal and wine. The bacon sandwich looked lovely especially the bread which looked super fresh! My scone was so good I bought another to take home!

We found this little place on TripAdvisor so thought we would give it a try and we were certainly not disappointed. The food was great. My partner had the tart of the day which was fresh vibrant and delicious while I went for the eggs royale which was extremely well prepared with eggs to die for. All accompanied by great tasting cappuccino. The staff were efficient and friendly and the cafe itself was well decorated and most importantly air conditioned on a boiling hot day... we will definitely return

Myself and a friend enjoyed a lunch here yesterday..... the food was served within five minutes of our order being taken. The meals were substantial - I had a pannini and to be honest, it must have been a foot long before it was cut. It came with salad in a bowl and crisps on the side. Lovely. I couldn't eat it all and the staff gave me a food carton to take half of it home. Very kind indeed, especially as I hadn't asked for that.

We’ve been going to No 15 for a couple of years. Often for coffee, less often for lunch. I remember thinking when we first went there that I should post a review, very lazy of me! No15 has great coffee, does a lovely macchiato and the service is always good. Lunches are either from a fairly tight menu, which is always excellent, or from a specials board.

Visited for a late breakfast, staff, service and food were great! Love having a shop whilst here too!

This is definitely a 'ladies who lunch' venue and I have been doing my bit since it opened. The food is very good indeed. Quiche, eggs benedict, soup. All are tasty and delivered speedily by efficient staff.

I come here regularly with my wife and it's always a homely and enjoyable experience, a lovely relaxing atmosphere. Staff are very professional and friendly. Highly recommend the breakfast, lunch and coffee oh and not forgetting a cheeky cake. Also always worth a look at the gift shop thats a part of the cafe, you can purchase some really good one off gifts for your friends and family. We love it here highly recommended!

My wife and I recently visited No15 cafe house, Priory lane, Penwortham. This was our fourth visit. Very friendly staff, excellent service, and mouth watering food. Some cafe's don't have much atmosphere, this place is always buzzing and busy (for good reason!)

My wife and I visited recently for lunch. This was our fourth visit. The food was delicious, plentiful, and excellent value for money. The staff were superb, attentive and friendly, nothing was too much trouble. I ordered a club chicken sandwich and my wife had a Cajun wrap. The food arrived in good time despite the fact that the place was packed out (always a good indicator!)

Called into Macmillans No 15 Cafe House, with the most amazing shop, the place where you could shop till you dropped but of course you would be revived after said shopping on that flexable friend a girl should never go out, without one. Enjoyed the shopping and making a mental note for my can't live with out list, by going into the cafe house, which we did and I had the best coffee I've had in ages along with a yummy Eccles cake then it was back to my sister-in-law's with our treasure's, (my younger brother had taken me there to buy a little something for his wife's birthday, goodman)

This is a brilliant place I visit regularly and the coffee is the best there is. Food always delicious particularly the home made soup and cakes to die for which I believe are made on the premises. It gets so busy sometimes it helps to book a table although the staff will always come and find me in the gift shop when a table is available! Highly recommend a visit on a wet January day x

I visited for a coffee with a friend. I have been here a few times. It is usually not too bad. However on this occasion, one of the staff members was extremely rude towards another staff member in front of all the customers. This is unacceptable and uncomfortable for everyone involved. If there is an issue the person should be taken away privately. But the coffee was brilliant, it was a shame it was ruined by the actions of one member of staff.

I always know that the food will be great if I visit no.15 for lunch and I like the friendly and warm welcome feel of the cafe.

I come here for breakfast every week and it could not be better. Hannah, the lovely manager, remembers all our preferences and the service is top class. The smoked salmon with scrambled egg is fantastic...lots of salmon and great sourdough toast.

The cafe is lovely and cosy, with a nice atmosphere. The service, however, is VERY slow. We waited ages for our order to be taken, then for our food to arrive. We weren't asked if we'd like another drink and couldn't get the waitresses attention to ask for one. The food was nice, just a shame about the slow service.

I really love this place and the food but yesterday's service was poor - 35 minutes for my soup to be served! It was really busy, but it would have been really helpful if I'd been advised there would be such a delay when I ordered.

We were having a day out to celebrate my wife's birthday and our friends had recommended this charming cafe to us to visit on our way to Lytham. Well it didn't disappoint. Staff were extremely hospitable and the lunch was fresh and very tasty.

Visited. With friends for lunch and I can honestly say it was lovely had jacket potato and king prawns awesome I was going to be good not to have a cake but once I saw the scones I just had to have one and it was so good top notch! One of the best I’ve ever tasted and so glad I had one, staff are lovely and friendly and testimont itself it was very busy for a Wednesday lunch.

Was always impressed with the scones in No 15 Cafe House, but I was so disappointed with our last visit. The scone I had was over cooked dry and smaller than it used to be, also my husbands was dry as well. It will definitely make me think twice about ordering them again.

Lovely food, service reasonable, all spoilt by being hustled out!

We went as a party of 7 for Tapas in the evening and chose the 2 Tapas and a side dish for £12.95. It was delicious and this amount was more than enough!! I had the fish cakes, tart of the day and potatas bravas! Lovely service too! Will definately return!

Superb little cafe bar. We are lucky to live in an area of South Ribble with anabundance of great eateries. Here is a beautiful place for lunch within one of the nicest galleries in the area. Welcoming staff and great food. What more can you say,a visit is strongly advised.

Welcoming and Friendly from the moment we entered. We had made a mistake and booked two tables and they were very understanding and had no issues. We ordered most of the tapas dishes, thought they would be small but no, a very generous portion which we were all glad of as everything was delicious and could tell was homemade. Staff were really friendly and helpful. Setting is just right, not over crowded and lovely decor. Will definitely be visiting again.

We travel 35 minutes for one of Hannah's cappuccino coffees (one each to be accurate) and that's before the excellent food and the gift shop next door. Very good selection and all credit to the kitchen and the friendly and helpful service for various dietary allergies and intolerances. Try the paninis , the bacon barms are outstanding and the ploughmans lunch is a treat (and a challenge!). Good value, fresh and home made and thoroughly recommended.

We tried the new tapas menu that they have introduced. The food was lovely and the two waiters were very attentive. We recommend the spicy beef which was amazing! The free shot of peach snaps at the end was a lovely touch to a good evening. We will be going back soon

We recently visited No15 cafe for early evening tapas, this was our second visit to this restaurant and we found it to be just as enjoyable as the first. We were met by very polite staff and shown to our table. The choice of beers and wines are varied and reasonably priced as was the menu. Our order was taken quickly with some helpful advice from the waiter and we didn't have to wait long before the first dishes arrived. The food is of a high quality and was enjoyed by all of us and we shall undoubtedly return. A big thanks to all the staff for a great dining experience.

This place is within walking distance of home and tonight I went down to meet a friend who was coming on her way back from work. The owners have recently introduced this early evening tapas menu Thursdays-Saturdays. Previously, they had had tapas nights Fridays and Saturdays lasting all evening but this is a new idea where the last orders are taken at 7 pm.We paid £12.50 each for two dishes plus a side order. I had the fishcakes, garlic potatoes and beetroot and goats cheese tart. My friend chose the hummus, pulled pork spring rolls and she also went for the fishcakes. We were very pleasantly surprised at the portions which were quite large. In fact, the fishcakes or the hummus alone would have provided a very ample lunch.The two young waiters were a credit to the business!I would definitely be happy to return here another evening.

This is the second time we have had tapas here, the first was when they started. I would recommend No. 15, the food is very good, we had the early bird meal (two lots of tapas plus olives)...excellent!

Moved into the Penwortham area at Christmas and needed to find a few new lunch spots and check out the amenities. Having been quite a few times now I feel I can leave a well rounded review. Every visit is great. Service is fast and friendly, never have to wait ages for meals even if it's busy. Atmosphere lovely to wind down and sit and natter. The breakfast is lovely, so good I even went to the butchers they supply their sausages from (at my partners request) Had quite a few of the lunches and paninis and they're all great too, would recommend the Cesar salad especially. Nice portions well made and top quality. Also been for tapas, I thought it was a little on the pricey side but the portions were great and the dishes really well thought out and super tasty. Desert was heavenCakes all home made and tempting. Overall absolutely well worth a visit.

Came for an end of term treat with my daughter. Got to say it was a relief to come in and escape the heat outside. Nice and cold with the air con on, really pleasant! I had a pot of tea, we shared a slice of 'zebra' cake and daughter had a pink lemonade. Service was quick and pleasant.The only suggestion i'd make especially having visited more than once with my daughter is it would be good to see just a couple of child friendly drinks on the menu. Last visit she had an adults hot chocolate, would be great to see a kids size. Also with it being a hot day and her wanting something cold, some nice milkshakes would be a great addition!

I was recently recommended NO 15 Cafe by a friend who visits regularly.What a lovely place this is.I had lunch with my boyfriend - it was delicious. Followed by cake and coffee, both gorgeous.I am a keen baker and recognised these were homebaked cakes. I kindly received the recipe for the Lemon Polenta cake to make at home.The menu was perfect for lunch and the atmosphere and surroundings are fabulous.The staff were helpful and friendly.What a find. I have booked for Tapas on a Friday evening.So good to see something so popular out of town.

I've always love it here during the day for a light lunch or coffee and cake, but by chance ended up here for tapas on Saturday evening.My mum and I were so impressed with the choice and quality of food! Fab menu - so much choice! The food is all cooked to order and is presented beautifully. All of the dishes were so tasty - I'd especially recommend the monkfish kebab!!! Already planning my next visit!!

Booked an evening here for my wife and myself after she recently visited on a works outing and has been raving ever since. We often visit for a coffee and cake during the day so I knew to expect a warm and informal atmosphere but after reading Boothy1235's review I was a bit concerned it might not live up to expectations. I can honestly say it does, and how Mr Boothy can rate the Fleece Inn and Moka above No15 is beyond me!!The food was fantastic. I have a good appetite(greedy) and ordered 4 dishes. Couldn't finish the last one, which was a shame as it was the Halloumi dish. The spring rolls were superb as was the chorizo and mushroom in a sherry sauce - definitely one to try and replicate. We had 8 dishes and could not fault any of them. For tapas they were really good portions. The only criticism was the time between dishes but after talking to friends from Valencia that is the way traditional Tapas should be served.I liked the way they don't pack the place out at night. The staff are very friendly and you need to remember it's a café, not fine dining. A larger wine selection would be nice too but I can recommend No15 100%. and btw, The Fleece is sadly appalling and Moka not worth a trip around Preston's inspired one way system!!

My Mum and I went on Saturday 18th March for my Mum's birthday. It was a great meal and a great ending to my Mum's birthday. The staff were extremely friendly and welcoming and really made my Mum feel special on her birthday. The service was excellent and the food was extremely good. I had king prawns and they were the nicest prawns I have ever tasted in a restaurant. I lived in Manchester city centre for years and also in London so I have been to a lot of restaurants over the years. The food I had on Saturday was as good if not better than the best I have had.A massive thanks to all the staff who made my Mum's birthday meal really special for her.

Not been for a while and I knew we would be in the area so had a check on good old T A to see if all was still good,surprised to see the comment left by "boothy" and hoped it was just nonsense,correct it was nonsense as the coffee was great as was the cake or cakes,greedy.staff still great and will be back again in 2 weeks.Great comeback by the way at the boothy comment and hopefully they stick to the fleece with no "kudos" as they gave them 5 stars,must be "normal" theresee you soon.

Myself and 12 friends went to this little tapas restaurant and had a great evening. The food was amazing- lots of different dishes to try and there was plenty of it. The presentation was great and the service was faultless. Thanks Hannah(our waitress) for putting up with 13 women - busy talking- trying to decide what dishes to order. Very patient! The food was tasty and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be coming back for another night out soon!

I had a friend visiting and for once, I couldn't be bothered cooking for her and suggested we came here for lunch instead. We shared a vegetarian platter, consisting of hummous, piccalilli, various cheeses, olives etc, to be eaten with a variety of crackers and breads. I can thoroughly recommend our choice to others.It can get very busy here and we were lucky to choose a gap between those coming for coffee in the morning and the main lunchtime rush. Certainly, it was very busy as we left.Penwortham has a few different coffee shops etc these days but this one is probably the most appropriate for "Ladies Who Lunch". A very pleasant experience.

Called in for afternoon coffee and cake shown straight to the table what we ordered was served very quickly by nice friendly staff especially a young man/lad I would like to say young boy but that is showing my age. The cake and scone was delicious my only complaint was I would like to have eaten the whole cake but that might have been greedy and calorie loaded will be back again very soon. ( for the rest of the cake,)

Been several times and can't fault the place. Always friendly and reasonably fast service and the food is really nice whether you have breakfast lunch or just a cake

I was taken by my wife for a Friday night, the place is nice and the staff attentive but the food is both very disappointing and over priced. It is tapas so the portions are to be expected on the smaller side, but let's run through the food we selected. The chilli beef was nice but the dish was mainly onions and peppers, lamb kofta was tasty and the best thing we had. Now let's talk about the gambas pil pil; if you had grabbed a few prawns from a bag you bought from Iceland and put them in some watery sauce and added a couple of chopped chillies, it would have been better than this dish. The "special" was described as piri piri surf and turf, prime steak and king prawns, actually it was one kebab skewer with three pieces of beef, bit of onion and two prawns (£7.95). The garlic bread appeared to be the chopped up ends of some left over ciabatta left a bit too long in the oven. Upon complaint we did get the prawns knocked off the bill. I am sure that ladies who lunch and first dates will accept this due to the Macmillans name and alleged kudos, but if you are normal and want a reasonable night out, steer clear of this overrated and expensive folly.

had a nice time here.great service,lovely fresh tapas.cool place for date night.definately go back.kings prawns top notch but the star was the spring rolls.

Called in today with a friend for coffee and cake and have never been made to feel so uncomfortable. The waitress was reluctant to allow us a table and not sure why as there were 3 empty tables when we arrived. Twice we were asked if we wanted to order more drinks!! In other words vacate the table. For goodness sake its a coffee shop not a Michelin starred restaurant! Needless to say we wont be returning.
