The Folly Coffee House & Deli in South Ribble

Called for coffee and cake having enjoyed a nice walk with the dog around the park. This is dog friendly and allows them inside where there are plenty of tables as well as outdoors. There are two rooms which are airy and have tables well spaced out.. A delightful selection of meals, cakes, drinks and more, they sell ice cream and dog ice cream They provide Vegan, gluten free and vegetarian options.

Nice place but too many dogs. With the amount of rooms surely one area could be dog free. Dogs and the smell of them not conducive to food. Not every loves them!

After a lovely walk around Worden Park, what better way to finish than a trip to the Folly. Opening at 10am on a Sunday we were lucky to get a table. A very popular venue not just for dog walkers but for families alike. Offering a wide selection of breakfast items and cakes and hot drinks. Decor is simple but practical and welcoming. Plenty of staff which makes everything run smoothly and efficiently. Thankfully all of the staff we encountered were okay with dogs, which makes the experience so much better. Our food that we ordered was amazing. This food matched any restaurant that we have visited and was truly phenomenal. Will definitely be back.

The Folly is an excellent place to meet up with friends while out enjoying a walk in the park or the facilities. The food always looks very appetising. It is also Dog Friendly

We've been here quite a few times and everytime it's been lovely food and the staff are nice. My only negative is the disappearance of the disabled parking spaces. It's meant that I had to leave last time as I couldn't get a space close enough.

Just returned from having lunch with a friend and cannot recommend enough how delicious the food was!! I ordered the warm bagel with advocado, ham and tomato . I will deffo be going back at the first available opportunity! Well done to the new owner...very creative and yummy sandwich idea.

Visited this morning for breakfast and found the whole experience lovely. I had the avocado on sourdough and the avocado was the nicest, most fresh avocado I’ve had. The whole thing was delicious, I tried my boyfriends bacon which again I couldn’t fault. Coffee was also great.

Excellent little cafe. Ate here for breakfast with family. The food was amazing, and will definitely be returning. Even during the Covid situation, we were made to feel welcome. The menu was limited but still a good selection to meet everyones needs. Outdoor seating, with Dogs welcome.

I are here with friends at lunch time during the week. It was quiet .. I ordered a feta, hummus and beetroot wrap, it was delicious, served with salad, coleslaw and pasta salad, delicious.I went back with my husband who ordered a pulled lamb shank wrap which came with salad etc, served with raita .. very good value and will definitely go again. Lovely staff and a lovely setting .. it does get busy at weekends though

Firstly, don’t expect a fancy cafe. This is an old building, quite dark with beams, stone floors and old furniture. Also, not a lot of tables and does get busy at peak times at weekends. All that said, the food is lovely as are the staff who are pleasant and efficient (I know that as a customer that’s what you expect but often not what you get). Would recommend any of the food, whether that be a toasted tea cake, a slice of cake or the fabulous Sunday lunch which is such good quality and great value. If the weather’s ok, you can always walk off lunch in the park.

Decided to call in to The Folly after a morning walk over the festive period. First impressions were excellent! Small building with a cosy and quaint decor! Warm welcome from staff who provided us with menus. The coffees were delicious and needed on a cold December day! We all decided on the ‘Full English’ breakfast. We all agreed the food was perfectly cooked with high quality produce! We will all definitely return again when next at Worden Park.

Didn’t know this place excited - stumbled across it. What a lovely little cafe. Love that dogs are allowed. Great coffee and lunch. My rocky road wasn’t amazing but chocolate cake was lovely. The service was great. Would definitely recommend !

We popped in for cake and coffee on a Sunday morning. Sadly there was only a very small selection of cakes including one piece of red velvet cake. It was amazing - best I have ever had! The hot chocolates were nice too, although a little strong. The brownies were clearly made with real dark chocolate. The cafe had a strange ambience being a former stable - quite dark and cold. Definitely worth a try and we would return.

10 out of 10. Between us we shared a wrap and sandwich, with bakewell and lemon cakes to finish, alongside coffees. This was our first time at the cafe, and we’ll definitely be making a trip back. Thoroughly recommend.

My family and I visited the Folly Coffee House during a trip to Worden Park with my niece.Due to her being Lactose intolerant, we had to be mindful of meeting her dietary needs (alongside the normal condition of finding a place that would allow our dog to sit indoors - especially on a hot day like today). Fortunately, both requirements were met.On arrival, we were informed that our dog could sit in the main café area, whilst my niece was able to get a Full English Breakfast tailored to her needs.I decided to have the BLT - a nice combination on lovely brown bread.The bill for all of us, including two rounds of soft drinks, came in at under £43 - which must be fantastic value for money when you're catering for five people (plus a dog who managed to get a hand made dog biscuit within the price we paid).All the staff who looked after us did credit to the café by being polite and eager to meet our requirements - especially on a day as hot as today.Thank you all for a fantastic brunch.

Found this little gem of a cafe all had different dishes and everything was excellent. Coffee excellent too. Staff could not do enough for you and not overpriced. Beautiful setting an additional bonus

Had a lovely walk around Worden Park then had lunch here it was delicious and quite reasonable, had a cursory look at other meals being served and they looked very nice too. The staff were friendly and helpful, we will return.

A search on Trip Advisor for a local coffee shop on Friday 19th April revealed this local yet hitherto unknown little gem on our doorstep!Great coffee, wonderful food for breakfast and the loveliest staff made for a very happy visit. We called in advance and asked for their “best table” and they honoured the request with a choice of several on our arrival.We chatted to the manager and expressed warmest congratulations on a lovely establishment and excellent service from a great team.We will return soon!

Had a really tasty lunch in this quirky little cafe, which is located within the grounds of Worden Park. The menu is interesting and innovative and the ingredients used were fresh and of excellent quality. All served with a smile! It’s dog friendly and has outside seating as well. Good prices too, definitely worth a visit.

Recently moved back to the area and upon a walk in Worden park we discovered that the little cafe near the main hall had new owners and was now named the Folly.

We have only popped in for a coffee and cake, but it really is a lovely little cafe. The coffee is good and the cake to die for. We’ve tried the lemon cake and coffee and walnut, absolutely delicious. It’s a lovely little place with seating outside, gets very busy at weekends so sometimes a little wait for food and drinks but nothing too serious. The staff are friendly and it’s definitely worth popping in if you’re on the park

I just popped in for a coffee during my walk in the park over the weekend. Its was a saturday lunchtime and the weather was fine so i wasnt surprised that the cafe was pretty packed when i entered! Despite this i was greeted with big smiles from a member of staff and made to feel really welcome despite me only wanting a brew. The staff found me a lovely little table to sit at at then arrived with my coffee shortly after. I was only in the cafe for 10-15 mins but it was buzzing with people and all the time i could see both staff and customers smiling and enjoying their day!

The rudeness of one particular member of staff today spoilt a lovely walk through Worden Park. Please consider how you approach customer service in future. It wasn’t busy, the sun was shining and we merely asked where the toilets were before ordering. The look of disdain and subsequent response from one of the kitchen staff was beyond rude and totally unnecessary, particularly in front of my 3 year old son.

Called in whilst walking the park early on a Saturday. Quirky little cafe with 10-12 tables inside and a few outside. Opted for simple bacon / sausage barm options; both bang on and just what was needed. Staff all friendly; a great start to the day.

First time there, was impressed at the quality of food and service, very well priced. I will definitely go back again soon.

So happy to learn that dogs are very welcome inside the cafe.. the place is immaculate and the staff lovely and friendly .. the food is piping hot and delicious with plenty to choose from ...

I had a vegetarian full english and my partner had a meat one. The breakfast was excellent although it did take a little while to come. Very good por of tea while we were waiting and the thick brown toast was the final touch. A lovely building in the middle of the park. Dog friendly, so a little draughty, bring your jacket! I loved it.

Love this little place, we’ve been a few times as it’s in our favourite park (Worden Park in Leyland) the staff are friendly and the food has never disappointed us yet.

Me and my partner love bringing our mini-dachshund here at the weekend. Dog-friendly with great food and coffee. I always have the brie and bacon bloomer and the mocha is spot-on.

I had a couple of hours free time while waiting for my daughter to finish an exam at the nearby college. Walking through Worden Park, I decided to get some mid morning refreshments here. Hot chocolate and a slice of carrot cake hit the spot. Both were lovely and served with a smile. You can choose to sit at a table or relax on the sofa and there are newspapers and magazines available as well as free WiFi. Prices are reasonable too so would happily call in again.

What a warm welcome as usual from Owners Paula and Lisa. Took my friend for a birthday breakfast. Yummy as usual. Thank you ladies.

I visited this cafe twice within a week due to the outstanding food they serve. The first visit I had the full English breakfast which was one of the best I’ve ever had. The second visit I had the chicken avocado sandwich which was that good I thought the price of £6.95 was an absolute bargain.

This lovely Coffee House and Deli set in the lovely surroundings of one of the the beautiful parks of Lancashire has an excellent ambience and provides an eclectic menu of locally produced produce to suit all tastes. This family run, dog friendly, establishment is very popular with all age groups and with excellent chefs provide an invaluable service at all times of the year.

Queued for ages before being served, think cafe need to look at ordering system. If it’s busy it’s too much to expect someone taking orders to make drinks as well. Lots of dirty tables. Service a bit perfunctory. Decidedly average all in all!

We decided to call here for a coffee only, but when we saw the food that was being served around us, we decided to order breakfast. We wasn't disappointed at all! It really was delicious and we'll be calling again for sure.

We’ve been here before as it’s such a lovely chilled out cafe. The service is great, it’s dog friendly and the food is wonderful. I had the chicken avocado on sourbread which was absolutely delicious, as was everything else on the plate! My wife had the avocado and feta on sourbread with added poached eggs which were cooked to perfection. Again, it was absolutely delicious. The kids had ice creams which were also very good indeed. Overall, a lovely chilled atmosphere with great surroundings and amazing food.

Had a lovely Full English at Follys at worden park. The staff were brilliant, only weird thing was the dog would not move from this spot constantly looking at this wall 🤔 — at The Folly Coffee House & Deli

Me and some of my friends from a Facebook society Cavalier King Charles Spaniels - UK held a doggy birthday party here on Sunday 13th May 2018. It was my dog and my friend’s dog’s birthday and we wanted to celebrate and have an organised meetup for the dogs to play together with families and kids. We all own Cavalier King Charles Spaniels. I rung the cafe a few weeks in advance, and they agreed to allow us to host our meetup with them. As it was such a beautiful day, they put our tables outside on the lawn. We ordered lots of coffees and ice creams and had a doggy birthday cake and some human ones too. It was a really lovely time and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We couldn’t be more grateful for their support in our event. Thank you!

Nice small range of good food in a dog friendly little place.

What a great place this is. I had a pleasant little walk with my dog 'pearl' and came here on recommendation. I had a delicious chicken and avacardo on sour dough bread and pearl enjoyed an afternoon tea! Carrot cake is also out of his world. I'd also highly recommend the coffees. Flippin' brilliant. If you are near, in fact if you are a million miles away, it's definitely worth the trip...

We recently visited this lovely cafe and the food they serve here is delicious. I tried their soup which is delicious and the bacon and sausage barm was lovely. My partner had the avocado and chicken sandwich and she thoroughly enjoyed it. It can get busy and there aren’t a lot of seats so sometimes we have had to leave the cafe without eating/drinking. But if it wasn’t busy it wouldn’t be all that good I suppose. The only drawback for me is the price. It is lovely food but a bacon/sausage barm, chicken and avocado sandwich, 2 drinks and a slice of cake came to around £20 approximately, so it is pricey. A Diet Coke and bottle of water to go came in at £2.55. Maybe I am not taking into account the location and cost of running the shop in an area like Worden Park. They probably pay a premium to do business in that area which ultimately has to be made back somewhere. Anyway the good outweighs the bad by far and it is a strong 4 stars from me. Keep up the good work :-)

We ate here as a family on a cold February day. The menu is really varied with a great selection of some lovely dishes from a ploughman’s with black pudding to chicken and avocado on sour dough. Everyone enjoyed their food.

Nipped on a wet miserable Saturday for lunch with my husband and daughter. We received a warm welcome and we’re pleasantly surprised by the varied menu which had a modern twist to coffee shop classics. The food came quickly and was beautifully presented and totally scrummy. It was excellent value for money and we can’t wait to go back.

Popped in whilst walking the whippet through the delightful Worden Park.

Menu consisted of brunch items as well as some popular main courses. We had bacon balls, breakfast bagels as well as one breakfast. Food was worth waiting for : kids had bacon balm ( two ranchers in large bark. Wife and i had . Breakfast bagels with avocado bacon and placed egg. Delicious : eggs were golden yellow yolks., at very reasonable prices. Tea and coffee were excellent. Price was extremely reasonable.

Driving with the family from Scotland to the South Coast and with a dog to walk as we went I looked for somewhere near the M6 but NOT a motorway cafe. The Folly Coffee House is situated in a really nice park that ticked the dog walk part and they are very dog friendly.

We visited the Folly again after a run with our little dog. It's a lovely, welcoming cafe that also provides/sells little treats for your dog. This time we had breakfast. Porridge with blueberries and honey- divine; poached eggs and bacon on toast- cooked to perfection The food is just delicious, well presented and wholesome, too. Excellent coffee. Our last visit was with our grandson and and he enjoyed a fabulous milkshake made with ice-cream. Their homemade soups are delicious, so much so that we made the soup ourselves for friends.

Just stopped into this little slice of heaven. Food was amazing and staff were very friendly.

We called here after looking on Trip Advisor for somewhere local which was dog friendly as opposed to dog tolerant which I find most unacceptable. We were greeted by warm, welcoming and professional staff and extremely good food - The bacon and brie toasted sandwich was delicious - I can't believe we haven't been before - This was followed by a most exhilarating walk around the park with the furbies - Definately worth a re-visit.

We've been a few times since it changed hands and it's been exceptional every time. The first time I popped in after doing some photography nearby as I was freezing. Brew & toasted teacake were just what I needed, it was cash only (as they'd only just opened) so that's all I had. Since then they now take card and we've been loads as a family. Staff and owners always fantastic, especially with the kids. Poached eggs on sourdough with bacon is outstanding. During summer it's always been packed, people waiting for tables. Leyland has been crying out for a decent coffee shop/cafe as one in particular in the centre of town is beyond poor (see my previous reviews). Please support this small business and make sure they make it through the winter months, we will be! (free wifi too!)

After a very wet walk in and around Worden Park, friends and I visited the cafe for bacon butties and coffee to warm up and dry off. The menu is varied and very good value for money. The service is efficient and the staff friendly, welcoming and pleasant. However, the cafe is 'dog friendly' and there were no fewer than 6 dogs in the small room whilst we were there! One of them actually cocked its leg on a table right next to us on its way out! Not pleasant when you're eating. The staff quickly appeared with mop, bucket and disinfectant but allowing dogs in an establishment where food is prepared, served and eaten is an absolute no-no in my book. Sadly it puts me off visiting again. But I guess there are more dog owners/lovers use the park than those of us who believe a dog's place is outside, so I guess the 'dogs allowed' rule isn't about to change any time soon.

I have even here today with my family and would like to say how much we all enjoyed our meals the food was very good and the service was quick, I would highly recommend this place the staff are very friendly and you can take your dogs in the cafe if it's not fit to sit outside.

I took my boys there and have been asked to take them back! This is a little gem with numbered seats so can get busy but is worth the wait

Been here for lunch a couple of times and always consistently good. Met the owners (two sisters) who are so lovely and work very hard to make sure the food and service is right. Well done ladies.

We celebrated a lovely afternoon for a friends hen party, beautiful food catering for a range of needs to perfection. Surrounded by the park on a lovely summers day.

Fresh, fast and friendly. Two friends two dogs no trouble.

I go out a lot for breakfast after/before walking my dog with my friend so we know what we are looking for and this has to be the best one by far. The staff are very friendly. It also allows your dogs in which is always a bonus. The food was 1st class, taste and presentation was superb.

Impromptu lunch, two of us shared a special sandwich and the houmous and pita plate. Delicious, will visit again.

We stopped for a coffee and a cake when walking my husbands guide dog in the park. We was greeted by a young girl waitress who was very clued up on how to serve a visually impaired customer. Top marks for customer service, highly recommended.

We visited after a walk in the park with the dog. We used to just sit outside and have a cuppa here as it wasn't that good but had heard good thing since the change of ownership and that it is now dog friendly. We ordered poached eggs with wilted spinach on toasted sourdough. Absolutely delicious. I know it sounds simple but some places get this so wrong. The staff were lovely, the setting is very relaxed. The prices are good and there are even home made dog biscuits for sale. Will be visiting far more often in the future.

What a lovely little place this is. Popped in for breakfast after searching online for somewhere new to visit. The café is in a very old converted stable and has preserved the atmosphere well. This is not a place for someone who likes bright lights and no atmosphere. We were welcomed with a big smile and told we could have anything from the menu. My son opted for one of the specialist toasted sandwiches which came with a beautiful fresh salad, homemade slaw and couscous. I had the scrambled eggs with added spinach on sourdough. One thing we both agreed on was special care seems to be taken on both the ingredients and preparation of the food. There is also a healthy twist on most that's on offer. We really appreciated this. We will definitely be going back.

My husband and I have visited this little gem of a café several times on visits to Worden Park. Each time we have found the staff to be welcoming and food excellent. My husband highly recommends the breakfast. Food is locally sourced or home grown. It has become our favourite café in Leyland.

We visited for brunch after hearing about the revamped cafe and seeing some of the rave reviews. Wasn't disappointed as the food was excellent (you won't find a better cooked breakfast) and it was great that our dogs were welcomed as well.

At last the new owners of the Cafe at Worden park have created a cafe for the type of customers that use the park. Dog Walkers and Families. I visited the cafe with my friend and my four legged friend for a spot of lunch. The food we had was delicious and the coffee was so nice, I had two. The menu is just right - sandwiches, soups and breakfast all day. Great Drinks and Cakes too. They also sell Dog Treats. Staff are friendly and welcoming. I will definitely be visiting again. There was plenty of choice for me as a Vegetarian.

Since the recent change in management my family have visited The Folly on several occasions; and having enjoyed the warm hospitality and excellent food on offer, will do so again whenever we're at Worden Park. The menu carries a range of snacks, meals & desserts which owing to the high quality produce used really are top class! Sampled the cooked breakfast today and it did not disappoint, probably the best I've had!

Great little coffee house in the middle of Worden Park. Fast and friendly service. Even sells dog snacks . 10% discount for U3A members

Came across the folly out on a walk with the dog and what a lovely cafe . Brilliant food at reasonable prices , service is great and dog friendly.Will be a regular visitor due to the quality of their food.

Friendly welcome, glad to see dogs welcome too, excellent staff and service, great food and coffee!! a must visit!! will definitely be back again!!

Our daughter had discovered this dog friendly coffee house. Super surroundings in the old stables, staff were friendly and the breakfast was first class. Then you can walk the calories off in the magnificent grounds. Superb!

Stumbled across the reviews of this cafe by pure accident. Best accident I have had.

Everyone who visits the park should call into this cafe. Food is first class. Our dog was made very welcome.

Recent change of owners and it's a place really on the up and up . Really great coffee and bacon or sausage sandwiches on a Sunday morning . Dog friendly yet still very clean throughout

After a walk in the park last week we popped into The Folly. Dogs are welcome. There is a water bowl for dogs. The staff are very friendly and the flat white coffee was very good and the bacon sandwich was absolutely delicious. The menu had some nice items listed, such as sour dough and avocado so not your usual run of the mill choices and you could mix and match some items, so very flexible . I wish them luck with their new venture. We'll be back soon.

Run by two lovely ladies, set in beautiful parkland, this cafe offers gorgeous early breakfast through to a varied fresh healthy menu throughout the day. The cafe itself is an original stable block with lots of atmosphere and dogs are welcome

We like to bob over to Worden Park when we're over Leyland way and were pleased to find the coffee house newly opened. The food offerings are spot on for a lunch stop. Had the roast ham and chutney butty, excellent bread, delicious side salad and good coffee too. The new owners are clearly putting in a lot of effort and it shows. Well worth a wander when you're walking the dog!

Had heard of the change of ownership of this quaint place in lovely Worden Park and decided to visit last Wednesday. I was not disappointed. A welcome, tasty varied menu with some rather different and interesting choices, dog friendly, music not too loud, delicious food and coffee. I had the avocado and feta on sourbread toast which was scrumptious, chocolate cake and very good coffee. However you have to be in a certain area of the park to know it is there, so maybe, if possible, and I appreciate it may not be, some signage at the gate or in the car parks? Will definitely be returning.

Have had breakfast a quite a few times here and the odd coffee on the dog walk! Sourdough bread is delightful and the poached eggs with spinach is brilliant.

Delighted that the new management have really made an impact and created a 'must visit' location for a coffee, snack or meal.

Lovely lunch with friends nice relaxing atmosphere lovely new owners nice after a walk in the park give it a go

Loved this place. What a hidden gem. Opens early for the best breakfast ever. Lovely friendly staff and dog friendly.

100% attention to detail , fantastic service and the food just wow. I will be visiting this cafe again as it was amazingly great. What a transition from last time well done guys should Br proud.

Melted brie & bacon on toasted bloomer with salads & leaves. Black pepper mayo instead of onion chutney, no problem. Definitely coming back soon.

Came here Saturday for a late breakfast and was not disappointed me and my partner both had the full English breakfast and it was to die for easily 1 of the best breakfasts iv had, the service was brilliant and was made to feel really welcome, lovely little coffee shop and the hot choclate was brilliant came presented really well.
