Temple Cafe Bar in Cheshire West and Chester

Exciting new venue on the pedestrian precinct with one cask beer on hand pumps and possibly a second to come. Great small bar feeling and keen landlady.

Temple bar is an absolute gem. We popped in after mooring up in Northwich for the night on a canal boat break and Charlotte, the owner, was so welcoming. She talked us through all the beers on tap and told us her plan to make everything local. She introduced my husband to Salt Town Stout, a local Guinness alternative, and he's a complete convert! After a small taster, I've got to say, even as a wine drinker, I'd probably drink it too! If you have a dog, take them along; they're welcome in the bar area, with lots of treats and water bowls available for them. Our dog was spoiled by the other customers! Thank you for a lovely evening, Charlotte 😊

Delightful visit! Charlotte and Jess were lovely. A warm welcome and a bloody good coffee was lovely! With all the coffee shops available I was really impressed with both the taste and price! Highly recommended if you enjoy a bloody good brew, welcoming atmosphere and a friendly smile!

Coffee: brilliant tasty coffee, costs less than Costa Coffee without compromise on quality, taste or depth. Staff: wonderful people who were very helpful and answered all questions asked, spoke to one staff member in particular who was very welcoming, warm and accommodating. Service was prompt and friendly. I highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a good coffee and chat in Northwich :)

Had a late lunch with a friend and the food was delicious!

Really good food, I had the bacon cheeseburger. Staff was very friendly and the wait wasn't to bad. It's also got a nice and cozy atmosphere also it's dog friendly! There is treats and dog bowls for them also. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience will definitely go again👍

Great food and good service. Would recomend

Great range of cask and draft ale. Chilled vibe makes the place a definite for a visit when I'm Northwich.

Like every Friday afternoon I take on lunch somewhere in the town. With The Temple recently reopened under new ownership I decide to pop in. Good quality food to fill that lunchtime gap and keep you going for the next part of the day. Also reasonably priced. Will be back again

Absolutely fantastic. Brilliant beers even better service, had a fab chat with the owner about northwich and the pub. Loved it, will definitely be back soon ! ❤️

I've only recently discovered this gem. You need to visit it just to experience its amazing, nostalgia-driven decor that covers almost every inch of its walls. But, most importantly, you'll also find lovely, attentive staff as well as wonderful food and quality drinks. Check the opening hours because, at weekends, it also serves as Northwich's most inviting bar.

Anyone with two young children knows how hard eating lunch out can be. We got there at 11:30 with a 2 year old and a 4 month old. We asked specifically if they could cater for children and were told yes and given a children’s menu. We got everyone settled and happy. No mean feat at that age. We asked our 2 year old what she wanted. Pasta. We tried to order and were told this was a lunch menu only and we shouldn’t have been given it. Cue tears from 2 year old who couldn’t have her pasta. Offered an alternative nowhere near as good as the lunch menu options, so left with crying child. Can’t rate the food, only the service. And their carelessness screwed up the whole lunchtime.

Visited today for the first time and had excellent friendly service and delicious food. Really great place to visit

The waiting on staff are terrible.. maybe I'm spoilt as I work at the mere so my standards are high waiting on people as i want them to feel like theyre wanted when they walk in through the door. But when we walked in nobody told us certain foods weren't available, so we looked for a few mins and was told 'sorry we don't have that, we don't have that or that' would've been nice to be told when we first sat down! We had to remind her to take our drink order. I asked for no ice, she put ice in my drink, I asked for no salad, came with salad, I asked what is the mushroom burger she had no clue! This waitress had no menu knowledge at all. She didn't even go offer to ask. We went once before and was fine but this time was so bad because of this waitress who was just miserable and omg the amount of flies in there!! Vile. A very dry burger with chips £12 and pineapple juice £3?? No drinks menu with prices. So we paid about £35 for a pie and burger and 1 pineapple juice and 1 half a pint. over priced. Certainly won't go back again.

Excellent cafe for breakfast and more. Quirky, atmospheric with fantastic food at great prices

Decided to go in as looked like a nice little cafe with outside seatings. Chose to sit inside as I would be working and was greeted with menus straight away, didn't take long for them to come over and take my order (bacon barm and pot of tea). Food and drink was brought out promptly and it's was delicious, nice thick slices of bacon on a brioche bun (cost of this £6:20) There was WiFi available so I was able to work there for the time I was there. Lovely service and nice atmosphere. (visited on a Thursday at 11am)

It changed since last time we went. The food is rather disapointing.

Great place to grab something to eat, good food

Didn't eat here but enjoyed being inside and outside. Great atmosphere.

Friendly, efficient service. Nice food

We stopped by for an impromptu lunch. We visited at 12:30 and luckily there was a table. Although it was incredibly busy, service was prompt, as was the food. We each ordered the bacon, brie and cranberry ciabatta and shared a portion of cheesy chips. The food was delicious; the bacon was nice and thick with plenty of flavour and the chips were obviously home made and actually tasted like potatoes. We did have to wait for the chips but the issue was resolved quickly. Highly recommended place, excellent value, delicious food and friendly staff

First time trying Temple Cafe Bar after it’s magnificent reputation throughout the town . The restaurant interior was excellent , it was very old school with lots of antique pictures , gadgets and memorabilia . Was very interesting to look at whilst waiting for our food . The food was okay , just a basic bap . Bacon was underdone for my liking , egg was nice and gooey and hash brown crispy . The service was okay , the staff were slightly distant and were not very attentive however they did have a smile on their face and were polite Food : 5/10 Service FOH : 6/10 Waiting times : 3/10 Restaurant environment: 8/10 Cleanliness : 7/10 Price : 4/10 Overall score : 5.3

Nice little place, discovered on Google. Small place, with a relaxed atmosphere. Decent choice of food, drink options and reasonably priced. Look out for the various artworks and pictures on the walls. Good customer service as well. Would go again if in the area.

The waitress was great but the food was cold

Great place for lunch or going in for hot drink and cake. Brilliant food, great service!

Lovely people, service and food is excellent service in a great quirks surroundings

Love this place. Great staff, nice food and unique vibe

Great Cocktails, we all enjoyed our food. Only reservation is it is a bit small for larger groups, I took a group of 5, and felt a little squeezed in. But that was Friday December 23rd, so probably fine normally.

I often struggle to find a place to eat gluten free cake with coffee, this place turned out to be amazing. Delicious cheesecake and carrot cake, great service, friendly staff, great prices. I highly recommend!

She loves a good beans on toast this one. Lovely place, lovely staff and “very smashing beans” apparently. Thank you x

Guinness was lovely, creamy and a nice smooth head. Love this place - owner is very friendly :)

Lovely food and friendly, helpful staff. Good choice for vegans, too. The bar is nice and cosy and has a good atmosphere.

Lovely place for a coffee or bit of food. Avocado brunch with bacon is a firm favourite, especially when my wife gives me some bonus bacon as she thought her sandwich had too much on. Staff lovely and friendly, relaxed atmosphere. Nothing bad to say about place.

Lovely pub very friendly and Very good breakfast

Called in for a cocktail after a theatre visit. The staff here are so friendly and such a welcoming atmosphere. We will definately be back again 🙂

Think we must have caught the staff on a bad day. We have previously had good food and great service the last two or three visits but on this occasion the service was bad because we clearly asked the young waitress was the offer of soup and a toasted sandwich inclusive at the price advertised on the menu. At the till they charged us as two separate items at full price. We challenged it and they said that’s the price! We waited and waited for drinks to be served as they just stood on the bar, in the end we had to ask for them. The food was bland and nothing special and this event puts us off going again. There’s plenty of competition in Northwich so we’re voting with our feet. Please try harder Temple Bar staff

A great little spot for food or just a quick drink. Welcoming atmosphere and lovely staff, with fair prices and wide range of drinks, a highlight of Northwich!

We had a brilliant experience here this morning. The food and service were excellent. Everything was reasonably priced and the tables and areas were all clean. The decor is great. We'll definitely be visiting again

Good food choices lots too look at and friendly staff ☺

Yet another great visit to Temple Bar. A meal and drinks with the neighbours this time, great service and relaxed atmosphere.Food was exceptional and very reasonably priced. Keith and his team always make you feel so welcome and they are so friendly and engaging. Very dog friendly too and even have a happy hour (or 2 hours)! Well worth a visit Thanks for

Just had breakfast at Temple Cafe Bar, WOW - I had an omelette with chicken (yes - chicken for breakfast). My wife had the Full Monty breakfast- again - WOW. The staff are brilliant, the ambiance fantastic. We will definitely be back. Strongly recommended.

Lovely good quality food, the staff are very welcoming. Good service at and fresh food prepared food

GREAT Independent place, with great atmosphere inside and out. MY new place to go when I'm over this way food was lovely and both staff were very attentive and good and treated all customers well :-)

Good food served quickly staff so helpful and welcoming

Nice breakfast today and good friendly service. Had lunch there on Thursday, again good service. Drops one star as no real ales on tap. Dog friendly inside.

Really enjoyed my breakfast there, intact the best breakfast I've had anywhere in long time, but for the prices it should be not as cheap as spoons but far better food, and service was excellent too, deffo be going again

Great atmosphere, with friendly helpful staff. Carrot cake is to die for.

Nice food and friendly staff and dog friendly too, it's one of my dogs favourite places to visit

Good food, great staff, lovely atmosphere....😁

The breakfast was amazing and so was the service

Really good service and actually a cafe that offers gluten free options. We see most places cater for vegetarian/vegan but virtually none for gluten free. My hubby had the New Yorker GF panini and loved it. First visit and would definitely go again. The quirky interior is a real talking point.

Lovely little cafe bar. Friendly staff great coffee x

Quite unique, friendly helpful service and coeliac aware👍👍

I've visited temple cafe several times now and each time I've found the service to be fantastic and the food and drink equally good. The selection of meals and snacks is impressive and caters for all tastes. The smoothies and cakes are mouth watering and there are light bites and large, filling meals on offer as well. It's lovely to sit outside and you're always made to feel welcome.

Nice people, great food and pleasantly quirky decor

Great place to go. It has changed, it's even better.

Breakfast was fantastic. Will definitely return.

Cosy atmosphere, good service, nice surroundings. I went in for a couple of drinks but haven't sampled the food yet. Most of the other people were eating though and the fare looked pretty good to me.

Brilliant little place. The staff, the food, the atmosphere, are just amazing! Quick service, delicious food, good prices too. I will definitely be going again. There is so much to look at in this quirky place, brilliant talking points if your struggling for conversation on a first date. 10 out of 10 if you ask me..

Nice atmosphere, great coffee and dog friendly area. I've not eaten there yet but will do one night when the pug's asleep at home.

Good quality food, good atmosphere, staff very friendly and efficient.

Best little find! We've been for breakfast and it's delish! Not over priced at all. The staff are lovely and it's dog friendly- winner!

Lovely place to eat,really friendly staff and dog friendly too

Lovely quirky little place. Great food and drink. Excellent service and friendly staff

Really lovely, cheap as chips, nice surroundings, nice pleasant service.

Wonderful staff, very welcoming and good food. The avocado on toast with bacon is great

I love this bar! It's so friendly and always a lovely relaxing atmosphere! Great drinks too but the management and staff make it outstanding 👏

Fantastic and friendly atmosphere

Best pie I think I have ever tasted.

Loved it .nice food nice atmosphere xx

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff, reasonable prices, definitely recommend this place.

Been in today for the first time. We will be back next time we're in Northwich. Great service, good well prepared food and a lovely venue. Ten out of ten.

Food was delicious and freshly made.

Poor went for a nice meal after checking the menu and the specials board after having a nice breakfast on when but totally let down as not doing specials tonight fri after being told they were so will stick to breakfast in future .

Good service and great coffee. Also, dog-friendly, which is a welcome bonus.

Nice coffee, cold beer, and I would very highly recommend the cheese and caramelised onion pie, 10/10

This a terrific place to go for drinks and food, the owner is very friendly and helpful, and goes out of his way to mix with customers and have a chat. I would recommend this place to anyone who want a good night out.

Loved it, great place, lots of atmosphere. The staff are freindly and makes you feel welcome. Food choice is good, served quickly and was hot and tasty. There is a good selection of drinks too, overall a great place go.

We go in every week, lovely atmosphere & brilliant staff

Enjoyed the delicious fish chips mushy peas with tartare sauce and fresh wedge of 🍋

Great staff serving wonderful food.

Keith and Janey are Great host's. We had a pleasant evening with friends. I would recommend this place.

Nice food, very friendly staff.

Excellent food and friendly service. Recommend the steak and ale pie

Order was so longvto come food and staff lovely

We loved it great service, very quirky and interesting good food as the first selection of beers and wine 👍👍👍👍👍

I love Temple Cafe Bar. It's atmospheric, quirky, different from other cafe's I've frequented. Well worth a visit.

The 'go to' place in Northwich to enjoy a drink and a bite to eat with family and friends. And with its welcoming atmosphere and ambiance, a great place to eat or drink if you're out and about on your own. There's a wide variety of beers, spirits wines hot drinks and food, and the Temple Cafe Bar also caters for Coeliacs (the Carrot Cake Apple Pie and Chocolate Cheesecake are to die for).

Just passing this place and nipped in for breakfast and coffee and the breakfast was fantastic will definitely be popping in for breakfast again. Thanks

Very good food, such polite staff and spotless, all you need. We will certainly be back x

Janie, Keith, Junior make this place a joy to visit. Really worth a visit. Richard Coeur de Lion

Great place for lunch. Attentive manager (owner?) Food nice, value for money. Staff pleasant. Would recommend.

Brilliant. Good coffee. Great service.

Great coffee and scones. The staff are so welcoming and friendly too. We’ll be back!

We found ourselves in Northwich looking for lunch. Temple Cafe Bar was perfect. The service was efficient and friendly. The owner/manager (?) was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. The food was honest and tasty, no frills. Good value and pleasant surroundings.

Happy hour cocktails are amazing 👏

Can’t fault the food as it was delicious or staff who were super friendly, would highly recommend and we will be going again.

Good coffee. Good service. Feel like they are still recovering from lockdown. Wish them well. Loads of potential

Yet again another great evening at the temple bar with excellent hosts, service. The same week after week. No Wonder we keep going back.

Great food. Friendly staff. Good position outside when sun shines
