The Cottage Tea Room in Chorley

Several of us called in the tea rooms on Saturday after a walk up Great Hill with our Golden Retrievers. We were made to feel very welcome. Our Goldies received some Sausage treats which was lovely. Food and Drinks all excellent, a lovely place to visit after a long walk.

Very Friendly Staff, Comfortable small tea room with some to eat as well. 🙂 I recommend This place

Lovely place, food was superb and was made so welcoming.

the best apple crumble and really nice staff!

A lovely tea room in a gorgeous location. Really friendly staff who always greet customers as friends. Awesome selection of food, especially good are the cakes.

Friendly cafe with great home made cakes.

Whether you like your food fancy or from a five star gourmet chef, I can say that the food, service, and the friendly atmosphere is unbeatable at this small tea room cafe. It feels like you are at home and dining with your family members. Excellent warm welcome and a must place to stop on your walkabout. Highly recommended.

We were recommended this tea rooms on our walk by some fellow walkers, so we thought we would give it a try, what a hidden gem this place is! We were a little early prior to opening but the staff still welcomed us in. Lovely cozy place, so much choice of amazing food, huge choice of teas of that's what you're into. We had breakfast which was faultless and the homemade cakes where next level! The staff were so lovely, we really enjoyed our visit and will be back again.

Stumbled upon this place by accident whilst out walking nearby. Will definitely be returning, the food and service were excellent and our Labrador Zak was made welcome. Has to be 5* all round from us.

My mum and I called in for lunch. I had sandwiches and mum had roast beef and onion panini. Both came with a lovely fresh side salad and a choice of dressing. We then had the rhubarb crumble for dessert. Really nice friendly atmosphere.

I recently stopped by The Cottage Tea Room in Brinscall and had a delightful experience. I opted for the cheese and onion toastie, accompanied by a refreshing Coke Zero. The toastie was perfectly grilled, with gooey cheese and flavorful onions nestled between crispy bread slices. The portion size was generous, and it was served promptly. The ambiance of the tea room was cozy and inviting, adding to the overall charm of the place. It was a lovely spot to enjoy a delicious meal and I would definitely return for another visit.

Great stop off for a brew and a bite. Staff very friendly. Quirky place and could quickly get full if it’s a warm sunny day as there are nice walks nearby but that should not deter from a visit to fuel up at very reasonable cost. Highly recommended.

Cracking little place. Lovely staff. Good food. Small but very comfortable.

Beautiful welcoming tearooms in Brinscall great tasty food good choice and delicious cakes

We didn't eat but there was a couple who was and it looked good, lovely little stop to have a brew and anck the cakes also looked amazing

Struggled to find somewhere that didn’t want 24hours notice ,this place didn’t This is a lovely charming little establishment that provided a belated valentine lunch for my wife who hasn’t been too good this last week.Hench the last minute bookings The afternoon tea was excellent and for the cost of£13.5o each was excellent Try it you won’t be disappointed

Had our lunch today, which was very nice, at the tea room, and greeted by a very pleasant lady with vibrant coloured hair, with a good sense of humour. We will be back.

Scones are really nice so are the staff thanks

Such friendly staff and lovely food. Very welcoming for dogs

Vert nice stop off on our walk.

Visited for food and a drink which was nice & probably worth what I paid, especially for this area but the awkward atmosphere left me feeling like I wouldn’t want to return here again and really brought down the experience. I felt on edge the whole time I was in there because of the manager. (short white haired lady). We could hear her in the kitchen speaking quite nastily to the young waitresses. She’s got one of those shrill voices that travels. There is a time and a place to reprimand staff and in front of or even within earshot of your customers is just not it. This wasn’t the first time I’ve been in here and heard her addressing her staff over things they have done wrong in front of customers or telling other customers how useless her staff are. The staff present during my last visit were basically just kids and one in particular had tears in her eyes the whole time we were in there. This doesn’t make it a pleasant atmosphere for your diners. This could be a lovely place but it needs a really calm atmosphere given the beautiful surroundings. Such a shame it doesn’t feel like this inside at all. It made me feel quite on edge and I couldn’t get out quick enough.

Just been for lunch at the Cottage tea room with 5 children and 2 dogs and all of us wet and mucky. They were so welcoming and helpful with the children as well as supplying stickers to keep them busy while we waited for food. The food came quickly and was delicious. Such a great experience and will most definitely be back!!!

As promised another enjoyable visit by our group. We had the Toastie, Sandwich and Jacket Potato washed down with tea and coffees, and followed by their Bailey's cheesecake and Lemon drizzle cake. Again complimented with faultless staff service 👏 As this venue is constantly and justifiably busy - do what we've done and book ahead. We are already looking forward to when we can fit in another visit 🙂

Highly recommend, contacted to deliver an afternoon tea to a friend after an accident as a treat at a local address rather than go to bigger online companies I wanted to give a local business support, couldn’t have been more helpful & delivered a lovely afternoon tea at no extra cost for delivery

Been here today for afternoon tea, my friend booked it for my birthday treat. We were a bit early, so we sat by the lake for a while, watching the geese and ducks, so lovely. We were warmly welcomed to the tea room. The staff are so lovely and friendly. Now to the afternoon tea, was it good? No. It was DELICIOUS . The sandwiches were so tasty, the cake wonderful, the scone so so good. And all served with a tea pot full of good tea. We were asked if we needed any more,ha. We were stuffed. We would definitely go again, thanks so much. Christine and Alison.

A wonderful place. The food is delicious & the owner always so friendly. A great place to finish off a walk with the dogs.

What an absolute gem. Dog friendly, muddy boot friendly. Great piping hot food and even half a sausage fir the dog! Really friendly staff and the homemade simnel cake was delicious 😋

Lots to choose from even though a small tea room, would go again, next time not just tea and cake as the savoury choices looked really good.

We happened upon this little gem for brunch on our dog walk from White Coppice to Brinscall. Although it was busy, we were made to feel very welcome, along with our little dog. Excellent food, very hot and fresh and reasonably priced. Our dog was also treated to a sausage which he very much appreciated. We will definitely be back again.

Polite staff,clean , lovely food, on the ball,reasonably priced,what more can you ask, Will be back.

Lovely little tea room. The range of homemade cakes and biscuits is fantastic. Decent speciality tea menu too. It's not a big place so get there early if you haven't booked!

Exemplary staff and Excellent food and drink in a lovely location 👌 Our trio could not fault this place and will be coming again 🙂

The staff are lovely & nothing too much trouble. Very reasonably priced food. Heavenly sausage barm. Art for sale.

Stopped off mid walk for a lovely sausage barm, coffee and a Chorley cake. Nice little cafe

Lovely little cafe with great food, service and atmosphere. Thank you.

We love visiting this small, friendly tea room. The food is delicious home cooked fayre, at a reasonable price. Not only that, our dog is welcomed with open arms and complimentary home cooked sausages.

A lovely little cafe with great service and fabulous cakes.

Its a wonderful, magical cafe. Food - homecooked and delicious,.staff - friendly and fun, service is first class, and atmosphere is cosy, and jolly. Its a great place for coffee and cake, a wholesome lunch, and an elegant afternoon tea.

Came here when she wasn't open but she still let me grab a brew and a slice of Lemon cake. Much appreciated and she's very friendly as well!! If you're in the village then get along

Just called in had a fantastic meal. All freshly made. Cakes to die for. Very friendly staff. We will be back. Suzanne and Liz x

Visited this wonderful little tea room today. What a find! The selection of cakes are amazing and we were spoiled for choice! All homemade. We finally decided on the chocolate and Guiness cake and the plum and pistachio cake! They were delicious and the coffees are lovely too. We will definitely be returning to try a hot meal with another cake! All extremely reasonable prices too!

Will never go again rubbish an no joke

Hope to return soon, to listen to relaxing music and chat with friends after a good walk in the moorlands. Good thoughtful communication too from the owners that care very much about their customers.

We call in for brunch on Sunday's & we love it. The food & service are excellent, there is a friendly atmosphere with both staff & customers

My friend and I stopped here after a walk for drinks. We didn't eat so I can't comment on the food. The staff friendly, the Tea Room is cosy and clean. The atmosphere amazing, we will call again.

There is a sign in the tea room that say "enter as strangers, leave as friends". This is very true of this tea room. The food & service is very good every time we visit.

Lovely little find, wide choice of menu and drinks , all freshly cooked and homemade, dog friendly , will be returning

We visited this little Tea Room for the third time - what great food and very friendly and helpful service. The Rhubarb crumble which I had with custard and ice cream was amazing! It was Charlie who served us; she was a total delight and a credit to the business. We were made very welcome.

Great friendly place. Food always lovely. Come here quite often after taking my daughter to the park round the corner. There are not enough places like this. Janet does an amazing job keeping it running.

Called in today was busy but the service and was still very good. The atmosphere is always lovely and welcoming 👍🥰

Amazing cakes! Perfect little village tea room, an absolute must visit.

It is the most adorable characterful little tea-room for miles around and it's twice now I've stopped there after walking around the nearby area! The food is delicious and there is a good range of things to buy, and the staff are absolutely lovely! It would be best to ring up and try to book in advance or check availability though if you wish to eat in at peak times because there are few tables.

Had a gorgeous afternoon tea today, will definitely be returning. Staff were so friendly and welcoming. Very reasonable prices and lovely cosy decor.

Lovely food,dog friendly and people friendly always a good conversation with the owners and other diner's.very good value.l have been with friends and on my own always a good experience had👍👍👍👍👍 definitely worth a visit 😊

Always made welcome by the friendly staff. Food excellent and reasonably priced. Dog friendly and they usually get a treat from the staff. Highly recommended.

We love visiting this tea rooms on our local walks, the staff are always friendly and welcoming. All the food is freshly made. The cakes are all home made and lots of choice. Nothing is too much trouble. I recommend the baileys chocolate cheesecake my favourite , and thanks Allison for the BLT toastie at the weekend it was sooo good. X

Had a nice afternoon tea here after a walk. Staff are very friendly, homemade cakes & good food. I would recommend the wild garlic soup if available. Dog friendly too

The food and the service is absolutely fantastic here. We where half way through a walk along the Goit and stopped for some breakfast. Genuinely fabulous.

Wonderful, lovely food and welcoming staff

This cafe was lovely. We had some really nice coffee and cake and will certainly be back again soon!

Never been in this cafe before but we have found a little gem, very small place you may have to wait for a table but it's well worth it, great home cooked food all cakes home made, we really enjoyed the experience at a very reasonable price, we will certainly be going again and have already recommended it to all our friends, excellent place keep up the good work there isn't many cafes about as good as this.

Walked in for lunch. Stood for a while and no member of staff acknowledged our presence or said anything (very rude). Very disappointing as we had visited pre-covid and thoroughly enjoyed our visit. Given one star because I can't give no stars, needless to say that we won't return.

Today was our first time at The Cottage Tearoom and it certainly won’t be the last! Myself, my partner and our dog came and thoroughly enjoyed our ‘all day breakfast’. We were met by two lovely ladies including the owner who I believe is called Janet. They both couldn’t do enough for us :) We had a small sausage for our dog and this was no trouble. Service with a smile, a nice chat and food you don’t even want the ketchup with incase it spoils the flavour! Coffee was second to none also 👌🏼 What more could you want?! Oh and brilliant prices. We both had a cake to take away- I even ordered two as I couldn’t choose as they all looked delicious 😂! Couldn’t fault the place and I highly recommend for a spot of lunch or as we did, a full English. We will definitely be back. Thank you ladies :)

Very nice place to pop into for a snack or a meal top quality food very friendly staff

Wow - walked in and stood in the middle of the cafe with no acknowledgment from either member of staff in the room. Fair play, the young girl was taking an order - but the one available table had a member of uniformed staff sat...

Lovely homemade cakes and sandwiches. Comfy seats.

Brilliant, great staff, great food.

Will need to here everyday for a year,and try something different from the menu each day .. it is extensive!

Cosy, friendly and with a nice selection of both sweet and savoury food.

Lovely find while walking. Worth a visit! Specialties menu amazing.... Had the chowder....spot on!

This is my second visit to this quaint little tea rooms set in the picturesque village of Brinscall on thevvery edges of the west Pennine moors. Both my Mum and myself enjoyed our food there. The staff were very polite and the room was clean....

Nice cookies and friendly staff

First time at this lovely cafe and tea rooms after first time up Great hill, and it won’t be our last for either Staff here are wonderful, cakes are fabulous, and prices are unbelievable 😮 We’re already working out how early we get up to do the walk next time in order to partake in the all day breakfast after. Only 5 tables inside so can get full quickly especially mid afternoon but that’s the sign of great popular place

Stopped here on a bike ride around the West Pennine moors for a Latté, Parkin and Cheshire cheese,very tasty and 'moorish' indeed. The waitresses were really polite and atentative. I intially was going to sit outside,but I was concerned about leaving my bike unattended as I had no locking mechanism with me. The waitress informed me that there was a bike rack around the back of the property to store my bike,which was handy as this could be seen by the kitchen staff. The Cottage tea room is a cosy little place in which to stop for a bite to eat,it was very clean and had quite an extensive menu,however that would be worth checking on their website before going for something to eat,as I don't think they have the traditional 3 course meals etc; on offer, although I could be wrong!. I did notice there was a table reservation service.The room itself is quite small ,when I was there it was almost full at lunchtime,so again might be worthwhile booking beforehand. The village of Brinscall is situated in a beautiful part of Lancashire and has quite a few amenities to enjoy if you have a short stop or visit there.

Stopped by for a coffee and some cake, the staff were so pleasant and friendly. The homemade cake was absolutely delicious. Well worth a visit!

Great hospitality, friendly surroundings, good food. Definitely one for your list of stop offs. Very quaint.

Very welcoming. Plenty of choice on the menu and blackboard. Good food at very reasonable price. Highly recommended.

Returned today for the first time after Lockdown. Just what we needed after a lovely walk in warm sunshine. Amazing how they produce such excellent and varied menu from their small kitchen. Very friendly staff and excellent Covid precautions in place. Very reasonably priced. Even...

My husband and I visit here nearly every weekend we love it. We have continued to visit for take aways as well.Janet Alison and all the team work extremely hard and always greet you with a smile and in a friendly manner no matter how...

We called in for a cup of tea and sandwich today. We were asked to take a seat at a table at 10.30. We sat and waited till 10.50 without so much as a menu given to us. Saw customers being served after we had...

Earl Grey and coffee lovely. Scones excellent. Staff pleasant. Will call again

Fabulous place for a spot of lunch. My first time here with my daughter, and I will definitely be back to bring my son along too. We had a dog with us today and we made to feel very welcome. The staff were lovely and...

Staff very friendly. Food really good. But I would recommend booking.

First time visit to this lovely little tea room, great menu choices, from full breakfast to cream scones. Polite and friendly staff, very welcoming atmosphere.

My brother and I have visited The Cottage Tea Room twice - once last summer and the second time earlier today.With the current restrictions in place (plus the change happening from 12 April), I'm writing this review with these restrictions in mind.Currently, it's a takeaway service and only three customers are allowed inside at any one and masks must be worn indoors, but you do feel safe and welcome by the staff.There is a wide range of savoury items available whatever the time of your visit, but this is dwarfed by their selection of cakes.I decided to have the Tea Loaf with Lancashire Cheese on both visits and the portions are both generous and tasty.There is also a wide range of teas, coffees and soft drinks. I decided to try Mr Fitzpatrick's Rhubarb and Rosehip cordial with Spring Water and it was a lot nicer than canned soft drinks. Granted, I had to pay more, but it was nice departure from the norm and I'd love to try some of the other flavours available.With parks and and areas for people to go for a walk on Brinscall's doorstep, this is a nice tea shop to call in at - either with the current takeaway only restrictions or to meet up when things return towards normality.PS - Try the Tea Loaf with Lancashire Cheese. You'll thank me for this suggestion.

Great tea room. Best breakfast barm I've had in a long time, proper butchers sausages and bacon. The Victoria sponge is almost as good as my wife makes, but I have to say that 😉🤣. I've be back for sure 👍👍👍

Visited Friday 2 April. This is a wonderful tea room working on a take out basis. Friendly with superb service, brilliant cakes and fabulous breakfast rolls.

Always great service and food. Best little cafe for miles.

Great little tea shop very helpful owners

Lovely sandwich, cake and coffee for lunch today.

As always really friendly service. Lovely cakes and great food. Also accepts dogs🤩

Called here for a takeaway during our walk on Thursday, what a find! COVID compliant with really friendly, welcoming staff 😀. Lots of choice on the menu, we eventually opted for a delicious home made Victoria Sponge with blackcurrant jam & fresh cream. Cant recommend...

Lovely Tea Room, very friendly staff, Beautiful homemade cakes!

A very friendly little tea room that is doing takeaway during lockdown. Can't recommend highly enough!

First visit to this little known tea rooms. My Mum and I had the afternoon tea for two. At £22 for the two of us, it was very good value. You get four finger sandwiches and a smoked salmon and cream cheese tortilla, two cakes where you choose the ones that you want, a bowl of crisps, and a scone with butter, jam and cream and a pot of tea. Booking IS required for afternoon tea. There is a substantial menu and daily specials. Definitely worth a visit if you live nearby, or even if you're out on a hike. We will definitely be coming back.

What a lovely warm welcome from Janet & her hard working staff. I had homemade soup Celery & Apple absolutely delicious. Hubby had Tuna Panini delicious. We finished off with Lemon Cake melted in your mouth. Our dog Poppy as made a friend for life...

Called in today after a walk. Staff friendly and obliging. We had cakes, scones and drinks and we were all very satisfied with our choices. Will definitely call again - probably for a lunch before our walk.

Amazing cakes, friendly atmosphere, dogs welcome. Simply a super place to relax after a good walk in the area. Mmmmmhh !!

My husband and I brought our 3 year old in for a little treat this afternoon and the staff made us all feel very welcome, making a big fuss over of our little girl! She thoroughly enjoyed her hot vimto and cheese in toast! The...
