Park Life Cafés Heaton Park in Bury

Don't really use the Stables cafe much these days, tends to be very busy so go to the Hidden Gem. However, on this occasion we were at the play area with the grandchild and I decided to get a coffee. Moral is, you should read the menu and pay attention. Coffee with Oat Milk, Hidden Gem doesn't charge but the price at the Stables, £0.75p for the oat. Talk about being ripped off, I can buy a litre for that. It is on the menu but most places charge 20/30p. I will think twice before going there again, or at least ordering oat.

Super friendly service from the ladies serving. Great coffee. Dog friendly cafe. Nice food & cakes. Enjoyed. Reccomend

We have been to the stables cafe a few times and it is ok. Today we went and had 2 sausage rolls and 2 hot drinks. £13 for 4 items and the cold sausage rolls were terrible. Inedible and had a strange taste.

The stables cafe and staff are amazing. The food is brilliant and I can highly recommend the bacon and sausage sandwich they’re to die for.

ur afternoon tea experience was amazing from start to finish. Our server, Angel, was so warm and welcoming. Sarah went above and beyond to cater to my mums gluten allergy and was very attentive to detail. Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon. We will definitely be back!! X

The staff in this cafe are rude. Waited ages to be served. Dogs allowed behind food counter. So unygenic.

I’ve been going to the stables cafe for about a year, several times a week. The staff are amazing especially Jess. Jess is polite caring and very kind. Jess always makes a first class coffee and my dog loves that she gets her bacon bits especially when Jess reminds me! Thank you Jess xx

Attractive decor and friendly staff, so 5 rating for that. But I am only giving it 3 because they proudly proclaim that their coffee contains both Arabica beans (excellent) and Robusta beans (the cheap crap that goes into instant coffee). This isn't lying, but presenting this as a really good thing is very misleading - as it's a bad thing! So although the coffee is a disappointment, I did like the cafe.

Lovely walk around the park and thought we would call for breakfast at the Stables cafe.. big mistake! We ordered beans on toast and a sausage sandwich.. not much can go wrong with that can it?!?! The sausage sandwich was ok however beans on toast arrived with no butter on the toast and a tiny portion of beans we asked for the toast to be buttered and that’s what they did went away scraped the beans off buttered it and put the beans back on and it came back cold.. and for this we paid £15.45

I had a garlic bread (worth £8) from the mobile pizza van and it was discussing like it was a £1 cheap frozen garlic bread I was ill for over 24hrs with a bad stomach would not advice eating there very over priced and not nice at all.

It’s a shame this cafe is so overpriced, I had a hot choc it was £3.80 , very expensive, didn’t even have any cream or marshmallows with it , decided to take a flask with me in future , I’m sure this cafe would do much better if the prices were more reasonable

We arrived at a very quiet time & put a lunch order in for two people. I was told that they 'no longer dd' quite a few items in the menu (they were on four days ago) so the menu choice was very limited. One of the items took a long while to arrive, even longer for the other one as we had to chase it up, It turned out that they'd forgotten it. One of the staff was a young lad who didn't have a clue what he was doing & obviously was not supported by more experienced staff member(s). The food quality was acceptable, but overpriced for the portion size. My advice is to go to the Hidden Gem cafe if you're in Heaton Park (unfortunately not doing meals between Christmas & New Year).

The cafe is well signposted, clean and with very friendly staff. However, the pre-prepared sandwiches are ridiculously expensive. £7.10 for a ham bloomer! Be aware!

Came with my family and had a very nice time here. Very good service, quality food and a great atmosphere for family time. Had a lovely encounter with a young girl on the till, so happy to help and mad eusre we were satisfied with our food.

Falafel burger - £7.50! In a park cafe?! (It tasted ok however) Kids portion of fish goujons and chips - four measly slithers of over cooked fish in breadcrumbs and bog standard chips - £6.50! Daylight robbery. No sign of any veg or side salad, cos you know, it's important kids have just carbohydrates and protein, nothing else. Long queues. Very poor. Won't be rushing back.

Whilst waiting for my hot drinks today I watched a young girl at the till sneezing continuously into her bare hands and carrying on touching cutlery and food. I was actually disgusted when she then carried on setting up trays to take to the domes outside and sneezed again into her hands. With covid on the increase her hygiene was disgusting. I was glad she didn't hand me my drinks. Not very impressed.

Amazing, the food was beautiful but what really made the visit special was the service. Maurice and Nora were so thoughtful and took extra care of us. Even catered for a very fussy eater. Very attentive and funny! They’re a real asset to the business and I don’t think the trip would have been the same without them. Only thing I would say is I wish we could have tipped them. There was no option to tip at the till! Thanks again to both Nora and Maurice from the Murphy house. You made my mums birthday so special.

Visited here with a friend . Paid £5 for a tiny bacon roll that used cheap bacon .Friend bought a slice of cake for nearly £4- really dry and again not worth the money . Appreciate there has to be a bit of a mark up but prices are a rip off and quality is poor .

Very very bad. I had a Tomato mozzarella panini with bacon and the bread was soggy and not baked, my boyfriend had a barbecoa chilli con carne with fries and it hardly had any beef and the chips were rock solid. The coffee is ok....

Terrible experience. Tonnes of staff but most stood about doing nothing whislt huge queues forming. Had 3 sausage butties, 3 cans, a children's sandwich and a cake - £35+ The sausage butty was so dry and Sausages overcooked and dry as anything, really not worth...

One of those cafes where more than 3 customers ordering a drink seems to constitute a crisis. Young staff in dire need of a manager to get them organised. Social distancing seems to have been abandoned, but the baffling table layout seems to minimise the...

Just called in with my grandson and nephews on a very busy day cold day at the park, the cafe was so busy, the staff were so friendly and advised us of the wait ( which wasn't a problem) great hot chocolates for all and...

Very good value and excellent service, a bit tatty inside due to lots of muddy dog paws, but a welcome bacon cob, and mushroom pesto sandwich went down a treat.

We went up the the cafe and was served a beautiful slice of pizza by a lady called Gabrielle. The pizza was cooked beautifully. Then to top the night off I had the most delicious hot chocolate served next door to me.

I would love to review the quality of the food and drink at this cafe but unfortunately I've not been able to try some. During my first visit I was told it was payment by card only and unfortunately I didn't have any cash, today...

Had a splendid day in Heaton Park with my chums. During our day out, we decided to get a coffee. The whole process was a steamy poo-show and it took 40 minutes from queue to exit. The place was terribly understaffed as everyone was slowly...
