Norton Priory Museum Cafe in Halton

This was the best lunch we have had in a long time it was good value for money and our food was really tasty and presented well. The staff were excellent

I had leek and potato soup and asked for it to be piping hot - it was. I thank had some ham sandwiches and a cup of tea. My wife and two friends had similar from the very good menu available. It was an ideal break. Call in during your visit to Norton Priory.

thoroughly enjoyed our visit yesterday, the museum very well laid out, informative. the view of the priory ruins excellent, the walled gardens beautiful. Had a light lunch in the café, cannot find fault with the whole place.

We live local and come here often. The breakfast sandwiches are lovely and the chicken and leek pie is a delight.Home made cakes delicious. Service is always prompt and staff are very helpful. Great place to go after a nice long walk

had homemade soup and role was very hot and nice we all had a cake to end. helpful staff very clean tables

Cafe is part of the Priory Museum. Only called in as it was a free day as part of Heritage Week. Having said that what a great day out. The cafe was well attended which gives you some idea of the standard. It is only a cafe so cannot expect a big variety of food but what was on offer was good. The staff were very helpful and I noted it had five star rating for cleanliness. Museum well worth a visit. Walled garden has also got a small outdoor tea room which is worth a visit

Staff very helpful and cafe food choice very good. Nice place to have a break and watch the world go by.

Excellent café with friendly staff. Indoor and outside seating. We always stop off there when dog walking and sit outside to enjoy a nice cup of coffee.

Excellent service great cakes and coffee. The staff were very helpful and obliging everywhere was clean and tidy. Toilets the same. Great atmosphere and some beautiful paintings on the walls.

Ordered a doorstop sandwich and it was a thin piece of sliced bread. Beef sandwich was dry and very uninteresting. Would have been embarrassed serving it at home to my children!!!! Scone was rock hard. Definitely not worth the £10 paid

Always clean and tidy, staff nice they have now started doing breakfast, bacon and sausage barms also some warm food for dinner

I visited Norton Priory for the xmas fair in 2017 and it was a great event, we visited the xmas fair first and bought a few gifts from the stalls, afterwards we had a walk around the gardens and museum and it was a great day.

Great little find this place brilliant surroundings very historical and staff verry friendly. Food is always fresh and very nice for the price. Staff do good things for charity and the community so defo rocomend to any one with or with out kids ill be going again soon!

Excellent very well cooked and very tasty jacket potato done to a turn ! with some very tasty coleslaw and salad followed by a delicious slice of walnut cake with icing on it ! What a treat ! I will certainly go back and have all that again before long ! ! Staff very helpful :-)

Had a baked potato with perfectly acceptable chili and a salad which had dressing served on the side. Coffee was also good although not exceptional

This cafe provides a range of freshly made sandwiches (made to order) quiche with sales a variety of jacket potatos and soup. They also have a range of homemade cakes, hot & cold drinks all at Very Reasonable Prices. The staff are freindly & helpful 7 of us + my dog had a variety of food on offer and were very satisfied.

After going around the Museum stopped off for something to eat. What a nice place to eat, the food was very good and the service was excellent. And not to pricey.

Didn't pay the 6.70 to go into the museum, but went for a walk around the woodland. It was lovely to walk through the woods without dodging crowds of people. Lovely and peaceful. Had coffee and cake in the little cafe, which was nice and reasonably priced.

Called here for the first time today and ordered two chilli jacket potatoes with salad. Smallest jacket potato that I have ever eaten out anywhere. Chilli nice , but very small portion again. Not impressed. Very friendly staff though.

Visitamos el día de la votación con los nietos de 10 y 8 años. Este café dentro del museo es luminosa, espaciosa y limpia. Siendo un showery jueves durante el semestre fue bastante tranquilo. Casero De puerro y sopa de patatas estaba en oferta, Cornish empanadas y patatas de la chaqueta. Sándwich de queso y jamón, pollo Tikka en pan foccaccia con ensalada y un tocino con pan foccaccia eran frescos y sabrosos. 2 Cornish empanadas, casera con ensalada, era delicioso, repleto de carne y bien sazonada llegaron a las 4 libras. 50. Buen café servido en vasos de cristal de buen tamaño. Tartas de frutas, pasteles, bollos y son muy agradables y buenas porciones. Personal de catering aquí hacer un buen trabajo, así que si hemos disfrutado de tu pastel o lo que sea, por favor dígale a ellos. Gracias a todos.

Surprisingly good & lovely environment. Helpful staff. Not to be confused with another small cafe in Norton grounds. It feels as if it's being developed. The menu wasn't on-line anywhere when we went mid May But we were assured that it would be very soon.

Terrible sent sandwiches back as the bread was stale. They brought out the only loaf they had and told me that was also stale, the time was 1.15pm on a Saturday. Good ness knows what they would serve up the rest of the day!!

Pequeño y encantador café dentro del centro de visitantes de priory. Un montón de sandwich diferentes opciones de patata, ensalada y chaqueta y tartas caseras. Paquete con almuerzo incluido niños un sándwich, bolsa de patatas fritas y un cartón de bebidas para £2. 50. El personal era muy amable y servicial con los niños. Muchas mesas y sillas altas.

Stopped in for a quick snack before touring the priory. Good bowl of soup, and jacket potato. Forgot the beans with the beans and cheeses jacket potato - but were very quick to rectify the mistake. Good value clean and friendly staff

My mum and I had a lovely meal at the museum cafe. The staff were very hospitable and attentive. Good sized portions - The scones and Victoria sponge cake were the best we've had in a while!

Visitamos el museo de cafe junto a nuestro viaje durante el semestre. Comprensiblemente el café estaba ocupado que no nos molestó. Sin embargo el personal parecía bastante mal equipado para sobrellevar. La variedad de sándwiches READY MADE era escasa, y la chica me preguntó que se hizo para ella, que el personal quibbled preguntando si ella podría haber uno de los artículos de la enfriadora. El menú es difícil de entender - quizás podría hacer con menús en cada mesa para evitar todas las personas de pie cerca de la barra. Tenían algunas opciones calientes de sopa y una tarta comida - pero parecía depender del sándwiches principalmente que se estaban agotando. La comida no era agradable. Pero quizás necesita un poco de re pensar?

Mi amigo y yo no he estado aquí desde que fue restaurado, fue el más limpio que he estado en la cafetería era impecable. Mi amigo quería pedir la pasta sin gluten, pero que no tenían, así que nos acomodamos en una patata chaqueta y ensalada, la cual debo admitir que era preciosa, la patata era muy suave y nos dieron un montón de mantequilla, ordenamos té y café que tuve que recordarles dos o tres veces si podíamos tener nuestras bebidas. En general, el servicio era lento, pero la comida era adorable. Sin duda volveremos a visitar.

We called in while we went out for a walk. Our coffee was served in glass cups (not very appealing) and only lukewarm.

We were looking forward to our return visit to this venue as it was first class last time and it lived up to all we expected ' We had a steak and ale pie with veg which was beautifully presented and tasted great and finally ended up with home made ice cream. Something that other Cafe could take notice of. Well Done everyone.! ! !

Great food and good coffee, served by lovely staff who made one feel very welcome. Lovely and clean too

By the time we arrived for lunch - approx. 1 p.m. they had sold out of some items on the menu including jacket potatoes and sandwiches we had to settle for were not very interesting. The staff were delightful and tried their best to be helpful but, in fact, they were overwhelmed. I can only hope that, in the coming weeks they will be able to improve their system of stock control and work flow.

We decided to got to the newly refurbished Priory and museum today, Lesley at the front desk was so lovely and inviting telling us what we needed to know to get around. The buildings and gardens are all well kept, the wall garden was a delight to walk around with a little cafe next to it and a gift shop.There is some building work being done but it does not get in your way.The homemade ice cream was lovely bought at cafe next to wall gardens, we had lunch in the cafe in the main museum building, food was excellent and good portions all freshly made, service was also very good.There is plenty to see and do, with a few interactive things for the younger ones, on the whole for the price this is a lovely place to visit on a day out.

Love this very reasonably priced cafe, which served homemade soups and lovely fresh salads and cakes. It has a great atmosphere and is set in the beautiful Norton Prory museum building. Lovely staff and great food.

Norton Priory is a good day out. after wards unwind in the café, nice food and good coffee. All found the staff helpful with a smile to boot.

We took our dog for a walk around the walled garden of Norton Priory, and decided to complete the walk with a cup of tea. Then I saw the cake!! Clearly homemade, and absolutely gorgeous. Much to my delight, we were informed that they are made by people with physical problems, and people with learning disabilities help there also. What a brilliant concept, with truly first class results!! Oh and I forgot to mention the price, tea or coffee plus a cake, for less than most coffee chains charge for their product. Thank you, you'll be seeing us regularly from now on. Follow the signs to the walled gardens to find this little gem, sitting in the open air in the courtyard, stunning.

Menu is limited. Staff are very friendly and children are welcome. Lots to do and see. Lovely time of year to visit with all the spring flowers starting to bloom.

Grab yourself a hot cup of tea or coffee and take the weight off your feet for a bit And enjoy a relaxing drink and plan your next move over the maps where to go next And if it is a sunny day it is a bonus as can get a bit dull if raining

fab day very interesting. kids loved it.cafe bit pricey also gifts , so kids could not buy anything, far to expensive.

Whilst visiting the priory with my family, I decided to take refreshments in the cafe at Norton Priory. The surroundings are clean, if a little dated but not unpleasant. The staff were friendly and helpful.We had coffee from a machine which was ok but the homemade cakes were scrummy and very reasonably priced.

Massive portions at reasonable prices. Inside and outside seating seating. A small tea house at the Walled Garden which was very handy

Great coffee and good veggie selection food wise, all reasonably priced, clean and bright environment.

We had a lovely picnic in the meadow and enjoy walking our dogs in the grounds. (Dogs not allowed in walled garden). Ruins are picturesque and there is lots of space and things to see for small people. We visit regularly and always enjoy somethng new - bluebells in the orchard, knee high buttercups in the meadow, activities in the crypt. Visit it - you won't be disappointed.

We have visited Liverpool to see relatives on many occasions but had never been to Norton Priory before. .we were not disappointed. Decided to to have the daily special which turned out to be Scouse. Heard about it before but never had it. It was superb, just melted in the mouth. The friendly and polite staff made us feel very welcome.The place was spotless and we had a very enjoyable meal in wonderful surroundings. Also visited the micro brewer, the Ice cream parlour and the Museum and gardens. Had a truly memorable day. The whole place is a credit to the people who work there. Will certainly go again on our next trip up north.P.S. The Beer weren't bad either.

i visited here last yr and was pleasantly surprised ,it was a lovely afternoon out and really interesting i must bring my grandaughter here when next she comes home to runcorn as she has an archeology degree and would find this really interesting ,this is in my view a must for runcorn folk to visit and see a part of runcorns history,and an added bonus is a lovely little cafe to have a cuppa and bite to eat afterwards

WE were suprised at some of the artefacts in the Museum some very interesting, as we live very close we should go and visit more, we do intend to though. We were suprised at the amount of interesting things there, nice gardens and a lovely coffee shop a nice place to use a few hours up.

we have threatened to go here for years and last we went, we were not disappointed its such a place of historical interest and well informed advice available really worth a visit

Norton Priory is only on my doorstep and I think its often overlooked as an attraction. You get a sense of serenity here, good to be able to see so much of our past. Great day out for kids as a history lesson. Great for adults also with their walled gardens and great walks around the priory. The cafe is lovely, great home made food and the staff are sweet, Very good value and worth a visit after a trip around the priory.
