The Edge in West Lancashire

Wife and I tried The Edge for the first time during a visit to Ormskirk as we’d heard good things about it and it was great! Very good service and the food was excellent. We both had a steak baguette and mine was the best steak baguette I’ve had anywhere. Soft, warm baguette, tender steak, fried onions and mushrooms and topped with melted Stilton. It was simply divine and, accompanied by a BIG, strong pot of tea for two, was the perfect lunch! We are definitely going back the next time we are in Ormskirk.

I went to a lovely afternoon tea hen do here on Sunday. The food and service was great thank you.

My friend and I ha a lovely cuppa and coffee here the people were lovely ni e to have a giggle with the young man who runs it thanks for the tea we will be back soon xxx

Lovely little hideaway, great food and staff, my son is extremely fussy with food and ate everything including tasting the homemade soup I ordered for me (I have tried to get him to eat homemade soup for years and he’s always refused but he loved it) deffo be back soon, thanks again :-)

Came for a baby shower and was amazed by the variety and quality of food! There was more than enough to eat and lots of leftovers which we were able to take home. The staff were so friendly and welcoming and nothing was too much trouble. Will definitely return!

Great food with reasonable price! The staff members are lovely and very kind.

Have you ever seen The Simpsons where Homer Simpson says mmmmmm chocolate? That’s how I feel every time I have a chocolate milkshake from the Edge Of Ormskirk . Today I had a real craving for a chocolate milkshake and I noticed that they were still open so I went in and I asked if I could just have a chocolate milkshake. I accept that it’s a very small order. I asked if I could just get a milkshake without any food. I just wanted a chocolate milkshake. I was told that was no problem. the lady behind the till asked me if I was allergic to anything I said no. Now the other lady who owns the place told me that they were out of milk and are going to make one ad hoc from Nutella and if it wasn’t suitable, I wouldn’t have to pay. I’m not like that. I love all their food and it’s beautiful. When I had the milkshake, I had the Homer Simpson feeling of mmmmm chocolate This was a chocolate milkshake fit for a king. I paid £4.50 for it but if they would’ve charged me £10, I would’ve got a good value for it. So the usual questions. Would I recommend them to someone else?absolutely would I go there again? I’d go there every day if I could. are they worth the money? cheap five times the price. What would I advise Joe Public? Get yourself down there!

The staff in this little place are so friendly. The food is varied from lovely salads to a full English. Nothing too much bother. Love going here. Its become our No1 eatery in Ormskirk.

Just popped in to this wonderful cafe and spoilt ourselves with an Afternoon Tea….Soup, sandwiches, scones and cakes!! Absolutely fantastic and needed a cake box to take home what we couldn’t eat!! Massive portions, great prices and really warm and welcome staff…Thankyou guys x A little bit too much sweet stuff (Perfect for the sugar lovers) bigger soup less cakes, keep the scones they were sublime!! Thats a personal thing though, your chef is amazing x

This has become our go to place in Ormskirk, and that us saying a lot, as there are numerous cafes and restaurants dotted about the town. I love the salads that are beautifully presented, but all the food which is freshly prepared, looks lovely. The staff cannot be more helpful and friendly and know recognise us when we arrive. It's a great place with a varied menu, and a delicious selection of home made cakes.

Afternoon tea delivered. Could have made the sandwiches better myself. Odd shape squares with really thick bread more like doorsteps. Not much fillings and didn’t get salmon & cream cheese or any coleslaw with the ham. Cakes and scones good. Soup was lovely.

Ordered afternoon tea for my nieces 40th. Delivery on time. Was given a list of sandwiches one of which was salmon and cream cheese, this was replaced by tuna without any consultation. Also ham and coleslaw was on the list, this came with only ham. The sandwiches came in squares and the bread so thick with not much filling. The scones came ready made with cream and jam, although I’d said I wanted the cream and jam I did think it would be on the side. Scones very tasty and cakes lovely. The soup homemade and very good. Overall a nice afternoon tea but could have been so much better. Thinner bread, more filling and advised of a sandwich replacement. Better presentation without a doubt.

The place is small but lovely. Really nice decoration. the staff is nice a the owner cant do anymore to pleased customers. nice coffee shop.

The Edge is our go to cafe most Saturday mornings. We’ve not been in for a few weeks now due to other commitments and we are missing our weekly visit. The food is reasonably priced, freshly made and lovely. My usual smashed avocado with smoked salmon and poached eggs with chilli flakes is gorgeous. They even got in a pepper mill to sate my need for cracked black pepper on everything! My wife usually has the breakfast frittata which is fantastic. Friendly service from the lovely staff who are always happy to accommodate any requests. The cafe is relatively small and has a mixture of table sizes and some Pullman type bench seats (which are a little tight for the larger visitors). They get lots of repeat customers so they must be getting something right! We hope to get back very soon- it’s been way too long!

Great service and atmosphere, I had the best lemon drizzle cake slice and my partner loved his Garlic mushroom special! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

3 of us used this establishment for lunch after a gruelling 30km walk around West Lancs. Super friendly service and very welcoming. We had a variety of items from the different menus. Full English breakfast. Cheese and onion pie with chips and beans. Myself having Salt and pepper chicken baguette. With a pot of tea for 3. All arrived together, and hot. We each commented on how good each choice was. Decent size portions and very flavourful. Would defo visit again if in the area. Thanks. (The walkers from Bolton)

Lovely eatery. Been a couple of times and will definitely be going again. Great choice of food at reasonable prices. Staff are brilliant and helpful. Would definitely recommend.

Perfect little place for food, would 100% come here again. Staff are proper nice and super welcoming!

An all time favourite of mine, as it was my dad's. Jill, Becca and the crew always offer a cheery welcome and the food is always fresh and delicious .

Have you ever watched The Simpsons? Have you seen that scene where Homer says "mmmmm Chocolate!"? Well that's how I feel every time I have one of their chocolate milkshakes. I implore you to try one, you'll feel as if you are in chocolate heaven when you have one. Their chocolate milkshake is truly a work of art and is absolutely divine to drink. My favourite meal there is the jacket potato with vegan chilli. Now the jackete potato is divine. It's so fresh that I felt they must have grown it themselves! The skin is super crisp too and I love the way the butter is perfectly melted on it. The chilli is gorgeous. It's not too spicy, its not too mild. It's just right for everyone to taste. This is a meal fit for a king and I would strongly encourage you to try it for yourself whether you are a vegetarian or not. I am going to make a point of going in there more frequently for this and when you've tried it you'll see what I mean. So are they worth the money? Good value at 20 times the price. Would I go there again? With food of such quality I'd go there all day every day if I could. Would I recommend them to anyone else? In a heartbeat, trust me I am the real James Bond and you'll be shaken but not stirred.

Absolutely fantastic afternoon tea. Lovely service and fresh and tasty soup, sandwiches and cakes. The highlight for us was being able to choose which soup we wanted and which sandwich fillings too -we loved how personalised the experience was . Thank you

Love it here 👌🏼 Scrumptious omelette & The best lemon drizzle in town

Excellent afternoon tea especially during the pandemic

Lovely afternoon tea. Great value for money with plenty of choice. Wonderful service too!

Lovely staff. Food was so good went back 3 hours later. All food going out was freshly prepared and looked lovely. Soup was homemade. Choice of Tomato and Basil or Broccoli and Stilton. Scones were warm out of the oven. Wish I'd taken photos. Son just starting Uni nearby. We'll be making any more visits

Best afternoon tea I have ever had Choice of sandwiches which was great Great selection of cakes Staff are so friendly Will definitely be going again

It was OK first time I had egg mayonnaise on a club sandwich, for me it wasn't right. Haven't been here for a while, I remember it was nicer previously.

Great cafe near Ormskirk town centre serving delicious meals and cakes. Kids meals available too. Would highly recommend.

Everything was good, no complaints.

We are doing a tour of Ormskirk trying jacket potato and beans... our first place award goes to Gavin @ The Edge. We chose the Bacon and Beans topping and it was an absolute pleasure to eat it. This little gem is slightly out of the centre but it is well worth the extra few yards..We have eaten here quite a few times since lockdown was lifted and can honestly say we have never ever had a bad experience. Well done Gavin and his lovely team. Thankyou.

Came here today for afternoon tea what a treat sandwiches was delicious, and the cakes where to die for

Nice tea and coffee and snacks after our walk into Ormskirk:)

First time I've visited today. Lovely no nonsense cafe, relaxed atmosphere, lovely tasty freshly prepared food and very reasonable. Will definitely go again. Staff are so friendly and welcoming

Just been in for breakfast this morning 😊. Absolutely delicious. Will definitely be going back.

We experienced wonderful, friendly service and and was impressed with the exceptional menu. Really good, home cooked food, offering something different from other places around. I ordered a breakfast omelette that came with toast and a good coffee. I struggled to decide what to have and will definitely be back for some more delights!

Visited here again this week. Friendly service and good food. Minor criticism, there needs to be less Hollandaise Sauce on the eggs 'Royale' dish. I might want to mix with the egg yolk but I want that to be my choice. Use a slice of salmon as a breakwater .... I'm nitpicking. A solid effort, 9 on 10.

Amazing food and lovely food highly recommend. Had afternoon tea was amazing

This was a return visit to The Edge and I was looking forward to having the vegan platter again as I had enjoyed it last time. However, I was distracted by several other vegan choices on the menu. How fantastic to be spoilt for choice! I went for the vegan sausage panini with onion relish and side salad which was delicious. The coffee was really good too. Service was super friendly and helpful and I think my meal was very reasonably priced. I will definitely be visiting The Edge again soon.

Great food and staff, 1st time there but will definitely be back

Popped in for a Full English Breakfast. We were not disappointed. Excellent. We had the Ultimate and Frittata. Highly recommended.😊

Had the ultimate breakfast and it was better than expected, the bacon and hash browns were crispy, the sausages and black pudding were great and so were the fried eggs and mushrooms and two rounds of toast were perfect, definitely recommend.

Absolutely loved my breakfast and definitely will be going again. Got no faults at all with the service and the staff should be proud :)

Dissatisfied, we were given the breakfast menu at 11:34, asked for lunch menu, soup was served Luke warm with a thin slice of bread and portion of butter. Nice pot of tea though, we purchased 2 scones to take out, served from the counter uncovered, they were not fresh. We wondered if this was under new ownership? This was a lovely cafe. We will not return

Toast needs to be thicker. Was OK for a change.

Unbelievablely good food and drinks! One of my regular spots! Very clean, staff are all very welcoming and friendly! Prices are good!

Lovely fresh food, fab service and always nice and clean tables. Highly recommend

I'm retired now but 3 Happy years driving taxi Around west lancs.often Pop in edge.big smile from Owner.always good food Homemade cakes. First time back .may go More often.20 mins travel Time.

Staff very friendly and helpful. Had brunch , scrambled egg was very overcooked. Smoked salmon was tasty but small portion. The smell of food frying was over whelming. Think they need to invest in some good extractor fans

Amazing food and brilliant staff with great variety for vegan and gluten free dietary needs.

excellent food-------------------------- generous portions-------------------- clean food and tables.------------- staff v friendly--------------------------- Becky does heavenly cakes-------

Tasty food-lovely service as always!

Yesterday I rang up 9.35am to book a table for 1.30pm for 2 adults and 2 Prams, having Prams is sometimes hard to get in places so ideally need to book so they can give you enough space, the table was booked with no problems....

Delicious fresh food! Definitely recommend the steak baguette.

I write this review after my 2nd visit to this excellent establishment. A friend of mine had told of the Edge of Ormskirk and it looked really nice from outside so I decided to give it a whirl. I am glad I did. Let me...

Clean and honely but the prices are very steep for the amount and quality of food you get. The "ultimate" breakfast is £11 and is pretty much the bog standard everywhere else. If you pike to pay more for style and presentation than what is going into your mouth, you may like it more. Go to The Whistle Stop Cafe in Wigan if you want a real breakfast.

Love this place! Amazing food! Amazing drinks! Amazing staff! 🙂

A friend of mine had told of the Edge of Ormskirk and it looked really nice from outside so I decided to give it a whirl. I am glad I did. I went in. The first thing I noticed was how cosy it is. This very pleasant young man gave me a menu and I asked for a Chocolate milk shake. Then as I sat down I looked at the menu. I saw this ploughmans platter which really grabbed my attention. I am a vegetarian so I made an unusual request. I asked for one without ham and this very kind lady gave me another cheese instead. Now I can eat cheese for England and I smiled as she offered another block of stilton. In terms of bread I was asked for brown or white and chose one of each. Then the world's biggest milkshake arrived- literally. It was huge, it was laden with cream and marshmallows- it was divine- it was a chocoholic's dream! If Homer Simpson was trying one he'd he saying "mmmmm Chocolate." I wondered if I'd have room for the meal. Then it arrived- a meal fit for a king. It was a good thing I didn't have an appointment for a while because this was a huge meal. I can eat cheese for England so I was spoiled for choice. All in all it was a meal that left me shaken but not stirred. Was it worth the money? Absolutely - it was very cheap for what I got. Would I go again? Yes. Would I recommend them to anyone? All day, every day. The next time you are in Ormskirk go and pop in. I promise you that you won't be disappointed but just allow more time for a huge meal.

Have always enjoyed going to the edge for lunch, but yesterday we had to leave before we could even order our food ,due to a party of young women came in ,they were so loud we could not hear ourselves think never mind have a...

Visited today with 4 friends to belatedly celebrate friends 80th birthday. Very busy when we arrived but staff welcoming and coping with busy service. Staff very friendly and served generally by Luke who we believe is fairly new. Lovely friendly approach, attentive and learning quickly....

Went in with my son this morning. Breakfast was amazing and best milkshake my son has ever had. Team was really friendly as well. Would definitely recommend

Very nice food and lovely staff.

The food was fast and fresh,and service was friendly and prompt. Great selection of food for adults and children and a very reasonable price point.

I will sincerely miss the delicious soups and sandwiches I've had here during my time at uni! Lots of lovely memories belong to this place. The staff have always been so friendly and warm, and the food absolutely delicious 😋

Excellent service very friendly 👏

Lovely service and amazing food

I was given a vucher as a gift so I rang up to book only to be asked to come another day as Wednesday was busy with the EOHO scheme. Unfortunately, the friend that I'd asked could only make a Wednesday so they said they...

Popped in for my first visit. Place wasn’t packed but had to wait 40 minutes for a standard breakfast which I thought was a bit much. A pot of tea came with a tiny teacup so had to ask for an actual cup. For £7...

Popped in for a drink and cake and ended up going for the afternoon tea as it was so cheap under the EOHO scheme. Everything was beautifully presented and I especially liked the soup being served in a tea cup! The service was good and...

Ordered an afternoon tea for delivery as a surprise birthday treat for my wife. It was amazing and there is enough for lunch tomorrow. Thank you.

Only been here the once and will need to return. the breakfast was very nice and the host very polite and chatty.

Fantastic quality and choice. Superb service and spotlessly clean. Love it here

A quaint café in ormskirk. The decor was cosy and the staff lovely. The food was okay, a bit expensive for the amount you get, but still a nice treat

Great place. Regular here. Highly recommended

Love , the food, the staff are very friendl, love the tea cosies on the teapot .

I ordered before I turned up and I had a bacon sausage and egg muffin. Very nice staff and food! Thank you

Nipped in for a quick cup of tea. Nice place.

Very nice place, food brilliant, good prices. Afternoon tea is great. Also very accommodating, they were prepared to cook or change menu to our requirements.

Always go here when I go to visit my parents. The staff are so friendly - they always really look after my mum and dad which is greatly appreciated by us all. And why they eat here regularly.The food is great. I had the Christmas club sandwich, which was huge. The omelettes are great, soup and sandwiches lovely. Prices are good value.A super little place. Thanks so much.

My family and I visited today for afternoon tea as part of my mums birthday celebrations. From the moment we walked in the service was excellent and the food of very high quality. There was plenty of choice and the staff were happy to answer any questions. The afternoon tea was a good price and well presented. I would highly recommend visiting The Edge and will be returning. It was extremely busy so you may need to book.

Great food from lovely staff, as always!

Excellent food and drink, friendly staff, nice atmosphere and great prices. Would highly recommend and will most certainly return.

A nice friendly restaurant/cafe. Good food coffee and cakes
