The Green Bollington in Cheshire East

Very disappointing, food was truly badly cooked - quesadilla burnt, pancakes very thick, pasty and uncooked in the middle, eggs under cooked and food in general luke warm. Serving time almost 40 mins even though cafe almost empty. Such as shame as we'd come as a treat for our family from a visiting friend and we'd chosen the place based on positive previous visits. Won't be returning. Didn't feel we could address this during the meal as it was a special occasion.

We've been visiting The Green regularly for a while as we live nearby. There have been some great new additions to the menu recently and so we've found ourselves going back much more regularly. Always pleasant service and a nice atmosphere too.

Our first visit to Bollington and we were recommended to visit The Green. Free car park close to the High Street, easy walk, then warmly welcomed by the young staff. Breakfast tea was perfect and my latte was warm and made with lovely coffee. Poached eggs on toast for my wife ….done to perfection; my McMuffin was excellent with bacon, hash, sausage patty, fried egg…..will try the black pudding version next time :) Friendly service and attention throughout from the young staff. Thank You

On a Saturday morning, we chose to have breakfast at this lovely cafe in the equally lovely small town of Bollington. When we arrived just after opening at 9.30am, things were already busy. Clearly a popular place. The menu contained several options we would have loved to order - how to narrow it down? In the end we each chose one of the pancake options. Yes, there are even four different pancake options to choose from. The first treat was when the coffees arrived. I had asked for a double shot blackberry coffee in a flat white cup, and my coffee was both a good strength and properly hot. They had done a great job of properly heating the cup, which makes such a difference. And then the pancakes came out, a feast for the eyes. We also liked that when we asked for tap water, we were provided with glasses and a bottle of water rather than a tiny glass of water each, as can be the case in these parts.The cafe space itself is very pleasant - downstairs on a corner in a row of stone cottages, with an outlook across the narrow street to stone cottages on the other side. It’s a shame there are cars parked along the street, somewhat ruining the view. And on that subject, there is a free carpark at the top of the street. We followed up our breakfast with a walk up White Nancy and then back along the canal. A very pleasant trip.

We had a fantastic time in this gorgeous cafe. The staff were friendly and very attentive. The food was delicious, clearly quality ingredients that were beautifully cooked and very reasonably priced. A gem in the heart of Bollington. We will definitely return.

Great brunch, delicious coffee and proper cappuccino. The McMuffin was delicious, really high quality ingredients, fresh, delicious and the square sausage was huge! Would order again, if I didn’t want to try out all the other menu items too!

Really delicious food, great portion sizes, cute interior atmosphere, and welcoming service. Brilliant!

Excellent food, served with a smile, the Mushrooms on Toast were delicious. Lovely space and very clean, will definitely be back

I like the food here in Macclesfield in enjoying it I thing others would in enjoying I thing all doing excellent

My friend had lunch at The Green and loved it, so today three of us went down for lunch. The food was delicious. I had the lamb koftas hummus and yoghurt on flat bread. Well spiced and a lovely balance of flavours. Service was great.

Came in with friends and ordered nutella and berry pancakes. For £7.50 i would rate this 9/10 it was superb. Maybe a tiny bit overpriced but at the end of the day it was very nice.

Lovely clean and wooden surroundings. Easy street parking outside. Reasonable prices and prompt service but we felt under no pressure to move on. Lovely oklunch food with feta, hummus, bruschetta versions, flatbreads. Lots to choose from but all very fresh and we'll presented. A new find and we'll be back

A very nice little eatery in Bollington Cheshire. It is quite small so if your set on going I'd book ahead to avoid disappointment! Every one in our group had food envy over each others order ! I had the chicken burger, the bun was so soft and the chicken so tender and juicy I was very pleasantly surprised. Good portion size of chips accompanied the burger they were skin on type fries and delicious. Customer service was good food and drink orders took promptly and not too longer wait for food. The only thing I would say is the website link doesn't work and I'd seen several older menus to try and anticipate what was on the current menu but these are very minor points! Will have to think of another reason to visit now! Thanks for a nice lunch

Everything was just spot on, I had the Eggs Benedict, and I helped my partner finish of her pancakes, wanting to come back asap

Staying in Bollington on the canal found great restaurant/cafe very dog friendly I had muffin fantastic the sausage made on site great food & very good coffee

Used to frequent another café in Bollington, but this is far, far better food wise, friendly wise and pricewise.

We had brunch before our walk and weren’t disappointed! The food was amazing, different to your normal cafes offering brunch and by this I mean they offer their own twist. We had the smashed hash browns and the ‘It’s not a McMuffin’ both utterly delicious....

I would like to highly recommend this gorgeous little cafe. The food is outstanding! I have always had the most delicious lunch each time I've visited. The menu is really imaginative, the dishes are beautifully presented and taste amazing. The staff are absolutely lovely. They...

This lovely little corner cafe was a great find whilst we explored the streets of Bollington where we were holidaying. The menu offered many delicious sounding dishes which tasted just as good and the coffee had flavour and strength. We bought some cake to take...

Great little place for breakfast or brunch friendly staff Lovely food definitely worth a visit perfect for a bite to eat after a walk up white Nancy

Went for a walk up to White Nancy and came back down looking for somewhere to grab a decent sized snack, there are a number of places on High Street and The Green seemed popular. After going in we understood why, the two waitresses were...

Popped in for a hot drink on a wet day.. fabulous hot chocolate rescued me! Stayed for lunch and polished off a White Nancy..crumpet with smoked salmon, spinach and poached egg, really yummy. Fast friendly service, good atmosphere, very pleasant. Two of us for 2...

Called in after walking White Nancy and managed to replace and add to any calories the climb might have burned off! Delicious unusual Kinder tiffin and good coffee.

Went for breakfast and the food was amazing and staff were lovely!! Would definitely go back, such good prices for what you get too!

What a fantastic cafe! I had a lovely lunch here on Saturday. The halloumi salad was delicious. The staff were friendly and attentive and the cafe had a really nice vibe. Can’t wait to sample more of the menu!

Came here for a late lunch on a Monday, and had a lovely time. The cafe was not huge but luckily just big enough to fit us in even though it looked busy. Two ladies were running service and they were absolutely lovely! We could...

Great place for hot drinks, smoothies, milkshakes, cakes and brunch items. The pancakes are to die for. Good menu selection and a bit different to the regular cafe which is what makes it so nice. Cosy atmosphere and friendly staff

Menu has improved and now more choice. Previously it was just something on sour dough. Now they have Burgers, lamb kofta. Plenty of veggie choice. Great coffee. Don’t be in a rush... food is a little slow. Would eat here again.

I'm a serial cafe-goer and this still remains a favourite in the world! It's amazing how a beautifully decorated exterior and interior can bring so much love to a place, I feel sad that there aren't so many good-looking, friendly, great food cafes like this...

Had a great lunch at this quaint little cafe.. lovely decor and super friendly staff and just a very nice atmosphere! Very dog and child friendly which is great! Had the sweet potato & hummus flatbread and then the Nutella and berry pancakes.. all amazing...

Overpriced food judging by the menu miserable staff, more like a nursery with the number of prams and screaming kids, didn’t stay as I waited far too long to be even acknowledged. Not good.

very friendly, quick service, great food. really enjoyed it, will go again. The place feels very local and always good to support local businesses

Charming and fantastic little spot in Bollington, rightfully packed most of the time. We are frequent visitors and rate it very highly. The smashed hash browns are to die for. Superb ingredients and cooking, friendly staff and reasonable prices. I’d rather give it 4.5 if I could - the only criticisms I have is that the service can be pretty slow, the wait for food a bit long (not only when full) and lastly that it would be great to see several salads or other options on the menu that don’t involve any bread or potato. Sometimes feel like something a bit lighter and currently there isn’t anything that really fits that bill. Knowing these nice guys, they’d make you something off menu I’m sure!

The menu at the Green is extensive + contains something for everybody. They offer lots of normal and healthy food which is always cooked from scratch. I have eaten there many times in the last 3 years and I have never been disappointed. I take all my visitors there because it is consistently good. I recommend it to everyone.

This little cafe in Bollington never fails to disappoint. The hardest thing about coming here is choosing what to have! Whether you’re a sweet or savoury person your going to find something on this menu that will make you want to return again & again!

What a find a very unusual menu and fantastic coffee. Food well prepared and served with a smile. Highly recommended

Not on a major route even if this supposed to be the High St and limited parking in this area but nonetheless we came across The Green and popped in with the intention of having lunch. The 'bare wood' interior was very much on the functional side and first impression of the menu was that there was a lot of choice if you were looking for vegetarian food but a bit limited for carnivores. The bare wood theme continued with the presentation of the food - a short plank of wood substituting for a plate not particularly conducive to eating a well stacked bap containing a thick but squidgy vegetable burger among other ingredients. However, the food was freshly cooked and flavoursome. The tea was presented in a trendy way too - but not really my cup of tea (if you'll pardon the pun).Overall, I'm not sure the quirkiness was worth paying a bit extra for, but having said that, they were busy, so they must be doing something right.

Service and food are always excellent. I usually have poached eggs and smashed avocado and the eggs are perfectly cooked every time! Been here several times and will continue to do so! Only issue is parking but that’s the same with everywhere in Bollington.

We stopped here for lunch and it was amazing. Good selection on the menu. The food was delicious and good service.

This was where we headed for to fuel up before tackling the next 10 miles of the Peak District Boundary Walk, to Whaley Bridge. Just managed to squeeze in on a Saturday morning (it's dead popular with locals, visitors, walkers and more) & fortified ourselves with cappuccinos and a shared stack of pancakes with Greek yogurt and strawberries and lots of honey - just what you need when you've only had one breakfast so far and it's already 10.00am..... Dead friendly, great atmosphere as it was when we came here before, attractive decor, reasonably quick service, and definitely a favourite.

Popped in today after walking the local area with our dog.

Neat, cosy little cafe, rustic floorboards and tables, in keeping with the village scene. Previously the Deli beside the green, High St, Bollington. It was recently reconfigured to fit more tables at the front with the kitchen prep area to the side at the back - it def works better. Newspapers and magazines abound to linger over Sunday brunch or just coffee. They don't mind if you stay awhile using your laptop. Wonderful. The cafe cooks wholesome, trendy breakfasts like avocado and poached eggs on sourdough, eggs benedict and that delightful, tasty micro cress etc. as well as burgers and interesting, thoughtfully composed lunches. Alcohol is available. I have to say the cakes are sadly a really poor affair, I guess because space is limited but they are a let down. That aside the place is always busy, deservedly so and testament to the savoury food on offer and the lovely, friendly staff. We go between 2-3pm to ensure getting a free table. It's tremendously popular with locals, visitors and walkers to the area - the popular Peak District is close by. Holds its own against a few good pub restaurants in the vicinity and the popular Lime Tree opposite (sister to the well known Didsbury restaurant). Def recommended. Would have given 5 stars but for the cakes being a let down.

I’ve been meaning to come here for a while but never got round to it. Came with a friend today and I will definitely be returning.

Called in for lunch in between garden visits. Excellent food and tea, friendly staff and atmosphere.

Always a favourite for breakfast, especially with granddaughter in tow as she loves the pancakes! Our favourite is the Lamb Kofta. Often very busy, but worth a wait or return to see if any places available. Look out for their one off food events too!

We came here for early lunch with our two toddlers. The staff couldn't have been more helpful and made sure the food for the wee ones came out quickly. The menu is varied and everything we had was very tasty and well presented. We'd definitely come back here.

When out on a stroll, our go to destination. It just gets better! A classy interior and top quality offer. Fabulous food and tastefully prepared. Nothing simple but great twists on the food. Eveyting makes this a real classy cafe eaterie and some. Not your tea cake cafe. Very different and so much better.

We'd not ever been to Bollington before and did so this time as part of the Peak District Boundary Walk - needed a coffee in a nice spot before we started, after an hour's drive over from Sheffield, and this was a great place to have it. It's achingly trendy, with the tasteful wall decorations including tree trunk sections as decor and the eclectic selection of non-matching but compatible chairs in the cafe. The coffee's great, the lemon cake was delicious and moist as promised (loved the curled sections of lemon peel as garnish), the service friendly and fast, and the atmosphere lively and mixed. It's busy too - admittedly on a lovely Sunday morning, but there was never an empty table for more than about 30 seconds, all the time we were there. Do check out the (spotlessly-clean) toilet if you visit, too, with tongue-in-cheek humour much in evidence as you look around it.

Went for brunch on Good Friday. Fabulous food and service. A proper treat and would definitely recommend.

My regular go to place when on a Sunday stroll. Always a great place and never disappoints. Lovely interior and spacious. Quirky menu but always good well cooked local produce. Top place to pop in and relax. Licensed!

Superb food and service in a beautiful, quaint and quirky setting providing a truly relaxing atmosphere.

not a restaurant, period. overpriced cafe with childcare perhaps. 40 mins to get the food which was rock hard and dry, forgot my water, didnt bother to ask how my meal was until i was leaving. Then i heard her say (just loud enough for me to hear) "hes just annoyed his food was late". I was, yes, but i was more concerned that it was overpriced and rubbish.

Popular spot for lunch brunch or cakes always busy - cafe food rather than restaurant standard - good pit stop when one a walk. or in a hurry

I visited The Green over the Christmas period as a quick meet up with friends for brunch! one of their recommendations! It was lovely, the décor is modern with such a cosy feel! the Brunch menu is amazing! All the dishes looked fresh, colourful, and well thought out! for a small place the menu was brilliant with a big range! its not your average full English café! fresh ingredients! Nice staff, good, quick service!

The Green offers a great brunch and lunch menu. Very nice latte and teas served in cute crockery. The food is lovely, and Jake is a great chef. Particularly recommend the pancakes with berries and Greek yoghurt, and the buttermilk chicken burger. Another favourite is the flatbreads served with various accompaniaments including chorizo, avocado and poached eggs.

Love this place and the alternative menu - If your looking for a place for breakfast with a twist look no further! The smashed hash brown selections are super yummy and would highly recommend trying them. It is a small place but adequately divided so it doesnt feel cramped.

My first visit last week. The Green had been recommended by friends and I wasn't disappointed. Went for lunch and enjoyed their interesting and delicious choices. Thanks for creating something so good in Bollington.

Highly recommend for lovely home cooked food. The Green has a comfortable feeling to it with charming staff. It has a bit of everything. Good drinks, both soft and alcoholic and yummy food. Love the eclectic decor.

Popped in yesterday for a coffee and possibly some food.

We found this cafe about 6 weeks ago and have returned four times since. A lovely welcome is assured. An unassuming cafe that serves excellent food. I have tried various dishes and each has been top value for money. The service is always good, and the full tables testify to the high standards that have been maintained.

Excellent food and a nice cafe to go to during the day. We had the mixed plate and it was great. Recommended to anyone

Really delicious food (try the freshly made pancakes with blueberries and yoghurt - yummy) and lovely staff in contemporary surroundings in a delightful town in Cheshire. What also impressed me was their commitment to be eco-friendly - couldn't see a single plastic bottle or plastic straws, thank goodness. Definitely recommend.

We were a party of four for brunch’s . It’s a good menu and three enjoyed their meal. The avocado on toast with salmon was great. But one had an over cooked poached egg. Good cappuccino but unpleasant regular coffee. Friendly service.

Out go to place for a snack and s drink when walking in the area. Lovely interior and very good food. Well presented and not your straight forward menu! Great coffee is always a plus for me. Even licenced now! 😀

Been here a few times now, always great service, the food is made with fresh ingredients, it’s got what most places chase and that’s consistency, and it’s got the right balance of attention to detail and letting you get on with your breakfast, can’t recommend enough, keep up the good work

Its only small but its perfect for a light bite and a delicious coffee. We've just moved to bollington and are so happy to have found this little gem of a place... can't wait to take my daughters

Stopped off for a late morning coffee whilst strolling around Bollington. Probably shouldn't be reviewing as we just had drinks and no food. However, judging by how busy the place was and what I saw being served up to other customers, I would say this is a great place for breakfast or lunch - not sure about evenings. We certainly enjoyed our half hour stopover.

Came across this cafe while walking in Bollington. We had a tasty lunch in this friendly corner location. Very nice and will return again.

Give us a smile. Rude blonde woman. Made me feel very unwelcome. Never again. Coffee overpriced and plonked down like a very unhappy person. Get staff who like the business

I love the food -simple selection of breakfast and lunches Great coffee Friendly staff and welcoming owners!! Fab chef!!! Love this cafe so much x x

We just called in for a light lunch midweek and the place was very busy.I had the soup, white onion and lentil ,very good with some delicious olive oil infused bread on the side.

Everything we got was amazing! Definitely need to go back soon and try other things off the menu. The service was very friendly. And lovely surroundings to top it off. It’s about a 40min drive from where I live but totally worth it

We popped in for Brunch last December and really enjoyed it! Extensive menu, great service and tasty food! Highly recommend!

A place that we often use for Coffee when walking the canal and always enjoy. First time back post refurb and as good as ever. Some nice touches. Super good...Great coffee. A real treasure this place. Wish it was around the corner from me!

If you ever find yourself in Bollington, I can recommend swinging by The Green Bollington. A lovely small café with Scandinavian vibes.

Fantastic revamp - great food ambiance and service and they do evenings too now so shall be back very soon

I go here often and usually the coffee is the best in Cheshire, however there are times when the coffee can be very disappointing I know this would be down to the barista and it’s a shame that the quality of the coffee is spoiling it. I think perhaps some of the staff need to be up skilled? As when it’s great its fantastic and then other times it can be awful. I do love the friendly vibe and amazing food! So just work on the consistency and it will be amazing all round.

Booked in for the Friday night evening meal market menu which changes each week.

Just love this trendy & quirky family-run cafe with welcoming staff, colourful, tasty & local nutritious food, with a blend of traditional & more unusual choices. The Cajun sweet potato humus, tomato salsa & feta flatbread is really tasty. I recently visited on a Saturday evening (now open on Fri & Sat evenings) had a delicious heritage beetroot salad with goats curd & chestnuts followed by roast cod with romancesco puree & beautifully cooked market veg, all preceded by a crisp glass of Prosecco & washed down with some very agreeable & flavoursome wines. For pudding I chose chocolate fondant with ice cream & chocolate soil which really hit the palate. The long tables and open kitchen create a vibrant atmosphere, the portions were perfect & I left feeling deliciously satisfied!

Bollington is a convenient place for a cafe stop whether you are out walking in the nearby hills - White Nancy is nearby or pedalling - the notorious Brickworks Climb is only a mile or two away.

A great venue, relaxed, modern and inviting, great menu, clearly all made in house. Excellently presented and care passion gone in everything thy do will be back 10/10!!

Met a friend for coffee here (great coffee) but the food menu looked so unusual and different that we ended up staying for lunch. We were not disappointed. I had lamb kofta with a salad presented on a flat bread with humus and tzatsiki and it was excellent. The service was good and the cost average and the cafe was busy and clearly very popular with locals. There were a lot of families in there and the atmosphere was very amenable. I would definitely go again.

It was my first visit for dinner after they reopened on a cold November night. The atmosphere was good with almost all the table taken. I tried the chicken and mushroom terrine as starter and both the braised beef and the roast lamb, my favourite, as main: everything was perfectly cooked and well presented. The service was also great. I totally recommend it to everyone!!!

I’ve been here twice now and both times the food was excellent. These guys are making a real effort and it shows. I’m so impressed I’ve booked in for our work Christmas meal.

Took five friends for an evening meal on a Saturday night, the food was excellent, between us we had a cod with samphire, duck and a lovely pork meal.

We went last weekend for Sunday brunch, staff are lovely and the food was delicious! Reasonably priced fresh and healthy. The hot chocolate is a winner! Definitely the best in bollington.

They could not do enough for us. A lovely atmosphere. We loved it. We will be back whenever we are local.

We visited at the end of the first week of tthis newly refurbished cafe to try out the lunch menu and found the place very crowded with other people doing the same or just having coffee. The new interior is quite trendy with semi industrial metal rimmed tables but the seating is rather cramped- the place is still quite small despite the recent extension . The staff were welcoming and efficient and helped squeeze us in. Food is a good mix of typical breakfast/brunch dishes and one or two more unusual dishes such as lamb kofta and vegetarian curriy. We had poached eggs on sourdough bread with spinach or bacon additions. The one missing dish at lunchtime was a good soup!

The whole place has a great buzz about it and I can see the attraction however the staff seemed a little underwhelmed, the bench seating is uncomfortable and the pancake stack I had was undercooked. The menu is novel and the location is good but doubt I would rush back.

Having stopped for coffee last Sunday. It was walk and brunch today. Fabulous coffee and great food. Not your straight forward breakfast but a subtly twist and some. Highly recommended.

Only popped in for coffee a couple of times, but friendly welcome, lovely little place. Not eaten yet but the menu looked really nice!

Amazing Family venue. Great strong coffee. Service is great Cakes are tasty and moreish. Would visit daily if possible

Fortunate to live just across the road from this lovely place. Amazing breakfast today for takeaway, even more amazing they hand delivered it! Such a lovely gesture and it was gorgeous too. Thank you so much.

nice décor food a bit basic and service slow - though enthusiastic - good spot for mums and chums Not a patch on Liveseys -

Found this cafe by chance when looking for coffee after a walk with friends.

Fell upon this corner café (after hunting for a parking space!) in Bollington by chance.

Eaten there once or twice, menu very limited, really a cafe with one or two hot items. Very basic seating (trendy but uncomfortable), always came away feeling that that was expensive for what we had. Decided not to bother again as there were better places that were as expensive but serving better food and a nicer atmosphere

Stumbled upon this gem today. Sour dough and poach egg spinach breakfast divine. Best local cafe been to!

The Green is such a wonderful little place; very welcoming and clean, with local artwork and quirky wall hangings. Free Wifi and newspapers makes it a lovely spot to have a brew and watch the world go by.

Wonderful cafe fabulous food and customer care. Highly recommend a visit. Homemade cakes, nice selection of salads.
