The Kitchen in Sefton

Called into The Kitchen by chance and was greeted with a lovely welcome and smile by Aga. It's so nice to visit such a pleasant cafe with such amazing staff Our Milkshake was amazing !!!!

Absolutely brilliant breakfast yesterday, cooked to perfection. Relaxed atmosphere and service with a smile 😊

This place epitomises what a local cafe should be. Friendly staff great quality food at the right price. We love it here.

Great staff especially the younger girl abi she made a great milkshake with amazing service will be going again only down side is it is quite a small cafe

If you want a great breakfast in Formby, this is the place..... Quality food, decent portions and good service. This was my first visit but I'll be back!

Not many places to get a nice fry up in Formby but I thoughouly enjoyed my breakfast today,will defo return, nice and clean,friendly staff and tasty food

Went in late as we fancied a coffee and a cake. Really nice homemade cakes and the coffee and hot chocolate tasted brilliant. Always try to support local and this did not dissapoint! Felt safe and precautions were taken in line with covid regulations.

A super lunch after a lovely walk on Formby beach (no red squirrels to be seen sadly). Quiche of the day delicious & great waiter.

Visited here after a trip to the NT squirrel reserve. It's not that easy to find and is not on the main shopping street in Formby, but is next to a car park.Service was swift, and the food excellent and of good value.. Tables were spaced out and the necessary precautions for social distancing were taken.

Went with friends for breakfast this week and it was great cannot complain about anything lovely ingredients and friendly staff

Excellent cafe with great food and only just found out dog friendly. Well done to the kitchen 5 stars.

After a walk on a blustery Sunday a visit to The Kitchen was perfect. Good food, good coffee and good service. What more can I say!

Lovely homemade cuisine. Lunch time selection is good with a full menu selection. Cakes are delicious with plenty of choice. Takeaway is available and prices competitive

The Kitchen does by far the best breakfast for miles! High quality ingredients and all freshly prepared- delicious

I came for lunch with my parents. Very friendly staff and delicious soup and sandwich lunch. Not a fancy place but ideal for a weekday lunch.

A great place for either just a coffee, a full breakfast or lunch. Food freshly cooked, prices very reasonable and served with a smile

I had a scrumptious veggie breakfast and dairy free hot drink, while on my brake. Unfortunately with the open kitchen being downstairs I left smelling like greasy food and was going back to work. I know it's out of their control but it is a factor people might consider. Staff were quiet but nice.Good menu to choose from and good price.

I come here all the time and the food is fantastic, the coffee is top draw and the service is unbelievable. Well worth a visit.

I came here with my husband on Saturday for breakfast. He had a full English and I had bacon and mushrooms on a barm. Our food came quickly and we both enjoyed our meal. The staff were friendly and efficient. I also had a banana milkshake which was lovely. The prices are fair, not a huge selection on the menu but enough for a small cafe.

Very nice cosy place for breakfast. Not rushed and good service. Excellent food & proper filter coffee.

This cafe takes a real pride in providing quality food and service. It seems to be constantly well-patronised, which is always a good sign for an eatery. We were swiftly welcomed and shown to a table. The food was very pleasant, and the coffee was excellent.

Love the coffee better than some specialist shops and always good to support local businesses. The cakes are always good too. Nice relaxing atmosphere. Well worth a visit

Fantastic breakfast well cooked grease free delicious friendly and professional ideal if shopping in Formby village

Quality food with a great atmosphere and excellent staff. All from a tight Yorkshireman who appreciates good food and honest people

Requested in advance afternoon tea which staff did their best to arrange for our foreign visitors even though cafe no longer does it. Was lovely. Plenty of food. Great value. Coffee good. Nice alternative cakes without eggs etc. Milkshakes for kids great. Service very good. Only thing I’d like to change is clotted cream for scones and not whipped cream. Thank you!

Brilliant vegetarian breakfast and great coffee! Lots of choice on the menu. I am looking forward to go back and having lunch.

Myself and my family found this lovely place by chance and popped in for a cuppa and a small bite to eat, I'm so glad we did, I've gotta say besides being greeted by lovely smiling faces from the staff who was very accommodating and welcoming the food was absolutely to die for, I haven't visited Formby much but I most certainly will now even if it's just to have a cuppa in this lovely place.

Title says it all really, can't really comment on anything other than the breakfast. Whenever I go here I always get a breakfast and recommend whoever I'm with to get on too. Its cheap, plentiful and most importantly they use quality ingredients.

Lovely little location central in Formby, incredible food, wonderful staff and low prices! Would recommend to anybody!

Lovely food and really pleasant approachable staff who are happy to help! The menu has changed since last time I visited, was nice to try some of the new things they had to offer! Still great value for money and a lovely experience.

A much needed hearty breakfast.... The Kitchen Vegetarian breakfast was a delicious life saver. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the service was very good....... Thank you

as the title says, really decent breakfast, tasty bacon, really flavoursome and a fine sausage too, but no black pudding?, even as an option on the side??, that needs to be put right as soon as possible

When I can I always pop in here for their breakfast. Lovely food and service with a smile. Nice if you just want a relaxing meal.

Conveniently situated just off Formby village main thoroughfare, the Kitchen is a great place for meeting friends for coffee or a snack; although the menu features more substantial offerings if required.

Visited here on a Saturday afternoon with my boyfriend, it was not particularly busy. We ordered drinks which came quickly. We ordered a baked potato and a panini which were incredibly disappointing. At first the wrong panini arrived and I was assured the correct one would be bought out shortly. However 15 mins later, when my boyfriend had already finished his baked potato I was still waiting. Eventually when it arrived it was just awful, was supposed to be BBQ chicken and mozzarella. It was a few chicken pieces, BBQ sauce spread on one half only and definitely not mozzarella cheese. Whatever cheese it was had an odd texture, was not melted and tasted like cheap cheddar, hardly worth £5.95. I didn't finish it. The potato was not particularly well cooked either. Both meals came with a sad looking salad, a few leaves with a few pieces of pepper and dressing.

Please support local businesses and come here for breakfast and lunch. Lovely food and homemade cakes. Great service and lovely decor.

Had afternoon tea everything wonderful, clean, helpful staff, seating just right, not over shadowed. Food excelent, even our leftovers was boxed for us, American coffee just right came in a very big cup, so no need to ask for top up. Very happy experience. Will go back very soon.

No hay mucho que decir aquí más que agradable. . Bonito lugar., buena comida, gente agradable. . .

Entramos en el pueblo para almorzar y este era el lugar perfecto. Un almuerzo relajante con una copa de vino traición Deliciosa comida y pasteles son simplemente increíble! ! ! ! Lo recomiendo encarecidamente.

Excelente elección para comer, realmente razonable con un servicio sencillo y eficiente sin duda recomiendo este lugar.

I love this place. The friendliest staff, great food and good selection all delivered in a bright relaxed environment for a really reasonable price. What more can you ask for. Worth the journey up from London!

Popped in for a bite to eat and glad we did.Staff were friendly and welcoming so knew we were on to a winner.Simple, no frills menu and you can see the food being cooked. I opted for the breakfast £5.95 and plenty big enough.They also offer a loyalty scheme which is great for the locals. Unfortunately, living 3hours away guess that won't be much use to us!Will definitely visit again when back in the area.

Friendly staff with nice homemade food. Lots of choice for cakes which are on show. Not a long wait either for food.

Not knowing Formby well at all we were so pleased we checked on line for cafes and found The kitchen. It is tucked down side street which is shame as it is a delightful place to eat. The staff are warm and friendly and the food is beautifully presented and delicious. Great care is taken to please their customers and they deserve to be congratulated. We just wish we lived nearer and could visit more frequently.

Guaranteed good food and a warm welcome. All the staff are friendly, and service is efficient, all in all good value for money.

Visited here after hearing many good things. The food was well prepared and served hot. This is a great place to get a bite to eat in the village.

Every time I visit Formby I always come into the cafe, and think it's an amazing establishment, the staff are fantastic and the food is great.. I especially love the Oreo milkshakes! Can't wait to visit again. :-)

Lovely welcoming independent cafe. Great coffee and wildly indulgent hot chocolate (best i have tasted). Delicious cakes. i haven't tried the light lunches and soups, but will do as everything i have tried so far has been of a terrific quality.

Went to the Kitchen after reading reviews of it here & after visiting the squirrel reserve close by. I ordered a cheese & onion omelette & my husband a jacket potato with haloumi & roasted vegetables. Both were delicious & perfectly cooked so we weren't disappointed. They also had salad & coleslaw which were also delicious. Prices are reasonable too. Cheery staff. Only downside was the toilets are upstairs, a bit difficult for me with MS, however it is a small place so not much space downstairs. There's actually a public toilet close by & a small car park.

Visited on a Saturday morning and had the breakfast (which had some the best bacon I have had in ages) and a panini (which was ok, but was very heavy on the salad dressing which made the salad difficult to eat. Great service.

On the recommendation of a friend tried The Kitchen for a breakfast treat...was not disappointed! The food was amazing, excellent selection of ingredients, cooked to perfection and well presented. To accompany this I had a pot of tea which was perfect, they clearly use decent tea bags!Staff are also very friendly and efficient.

We were passing through Formby on Monday and stopped to get a coffee at costa coffee . It was a hot day and the tables they had outside were full so we decided to give it a miss, we were just walking back to the car when my wife spotted "the kitchen " and it had tables out side. We had a coffee and cake both excellent and a lot cheaper than costa coffee also the staff were lovely, friendly and very polite. We will go again when in the area, next time for lunch.I can not recommend you visit this place enough. A little gem.

Warm friendly staff fantastic nothing to much trouble well cooked and presentable breakfast followed by best cappuccino in town

Seven of us arrived without booking on busy Saturday lunchtime.A table was found for us within the ten minutes they said it would!Great breakfast, lots of toast and butter served with it.No delay and friendly service!Would totally recommend this place

After walking in the sand dunes at Formby we were advised to visit The Kitchen for a spot of lunch. We just felt like some sandwiches and settled on the tuna on brown bread. When it arrived the sandwiches were nice and chunky and the bread was delicious, quite nutty. There was also some salad and coleslaw to accompany the sandwiches. We also had a nice pot of tea. There is seating inside and outside and also upstairs. The staff were very pleasant and I was particularly impressed with the young girl who was serving who took time to speak to an elderly lady sitting at a table outside. She chatted for quite some time and made her feel very welcome. So much so that I complimented her when the lady had eaten her lunch and left. She was very pleased to receive the compliment but said I just love speaking to them. They are so interesting. How nice. I would certainly recommend a visit to this restaurant

Found the kitchen by chance and what a lovely experience. Staff were friendly and eager to help.Ordered a panini and a slice of cake. The portions were generous and the flavours were perfect. All the cakes are homemade and you can tell ! All reasonably price. Fabulous experience highly recommended. Going to try their breakfast next :-)

The kitchen, cooks well cooked comfort food, it is sure to fill you up. I have eaten here a number of times and cant seem to stop going, the staff are really helpful and kind and I have never had a problem with any of them. I highly recommend this place as I am sure plenty of you are going to want to go back for more.

Lovely lunch. Excellent service. Cakes to die for. Glad to see the staff still doing so well and looking so happy doing what they do best looking after us customers so well. Keep up the good work guysSee you soon

A delightful visit for coffee and cake. Friendly and responsive staff with a caring style that is not intrusive at all. Not part of a great chain, but simply a good local place doing their best for their customers. Delightful and fresh apple sponge cake, beautifully presented and served with grace.

We have popped into T he Kitchen many times, and have never been dissapointed.Friendly and speedy service, with tasty, freshly cooked food at fair price. No wonder the downstairs sometimes gets crowded!The scrambled eggs on toast is excellent (perhaps the extra cost of smoked salmon on top is a little high), and the scones are a real treat- not your usual baker's stodge.

Had read lots of good reviews. We were left disappointed. The portions were small and over priced. Staff not so friendly. Maybe it was an off day not sure. Some of the cakes looked undercooked and almost raw in the middle. Coffee cups were very small and similar price to costa Nero etc. I appreciate its not a big chain but portion wise was a little steep for hat you got

Quick phone call to find out if they did a breakfast menu, a yes so of we headed and looked for the A board to let up know where it was.Lovely smell of coffee when we walked in, quite basic breakfast menu which was ok, so we both went for the full English, only problem being the menu only said eggs, but not how we could have them, I didn't think to ask if I could have scrambled and the young lady didn't ask how I would like them so we both got brought fried, I asked when we paid if there was a choice and there was so we'll know next time to ask.The sausage and bacon were both delicious, really meaty sausage and the bacon thick cut and just the right side of salty, could have done with a few more mushrooms maybe, but that's just me, and the brown seeded toast was delicious, and butter too, yay, not a easy to spread fake one.Only slight quibble is that the tables seem really small, with two cups for coffee and the big plates it was very cramped and the table next door was so close as for the lady felt she could keep joining in our conversation, which she seemed to enjoy, but otherwise a pleasant surprise for breakfast.

Absolutely love this coffee shop. The food is excellent quality and the service is always extremely friendly. My family are regular patrons for this establishment. I would highly recommend it to friends.

Just tucked away on a little side street at the top end of the main Formby shopping street you will find this excellent cafe (A-Board on main street points you in the right direction). Staff were efficient, friendly and welcoming and the food was quality and made with care. Downstairs there are just five or six tables but if you go upstairs they have a much bigger area with some big comfy chairs for you to drink your latte in. Good options for gluten free. Prices are very reasonable and close by the main streetis a big car park which is free.

I always enjoy going to the Kitchen, it has a lovely atmosphere and the staff are friendly and efficient. We sat upstairs and and were given time to peruse the menu which offers a varied amount of food. We ordered our drinks and when the waitress brought them back we ordered our food. I had the chicken goujon wrap and my wife had a cheese and onion toastie both of which arrived in good time.Both meals were well presented and tasted delicious, once finished we went to pay. At the counter there are an array of home baked cakes, all very tempting but being on trying to be healthy I didn't try on this occasion. ( I have done before and can recommend them all!!)All in all, The Kitchen is a great place to have a bite to eat, the atmosphere is lovely and the staff are friendly and attentive.

I was looking for somewhere for lunch for us in Formby avoiding the usual chain coffee shops and found this lovely little place.We were served by happy smiling staff who were really helpful about the food they had on the menu.I decided on soup and a sandwich and the soup was delicious home made and piping hot, great sandwiches too. I had a lovely cup of coffee too. I just wish that I had room for a piece of the yummy looking cakes but I will save that for next time. My daughter had the jacket potato with halloumi and she said it was equally delicious. We decided to definitely return to try out the deserts !

After dismissing the usual coffee shop chains we went in search of a more independent cafe to have our morning refreshment on a recent visit to Formby! We were more than happy to discover The Kitchen. We shared a slice of Victoria sandwich and a slice of lemon cake which, my husband claimed, was the best piece of cake he'd ever had (he added 'in a coffee shop' so as not to dismiss my home made cakes as his favourite!!). The cakes were unexpectedly served with a little pot of cream and a coulis which, although perhaps unnecessary as the cakes were delicious on their own, went down a treat!We only had two criticisms - firstly when we walked in one of the waitresses was coughing into her hand in front of me, she went into the back area where I thought she was going to wash her hands but didn't and continued to serve customers (I know there are plenty of things we don't see and therefore don't worry about but when it's right in front of a customer it would be good to show willing!). Also the cappuccino wasn't really a cappuccino, it was a latte with a little bit of foam on top - perhaps a bit of training on making the perfect cappuccino would be useful for the young man who served us?This two little points wouldn't stop me recommending this great little cafe or going back myself.

We went to the Kitchen for a full English on Sunday. Could not fault the breakfast, it was substantial and very tasty. Included in the price were two rounds of toast. We opted for brown and it wasn't the normal bland cheap brown bread a lot of places use but the seeded variety which is good quality and much tastier. We will definitely return and would highly recommend the kitchen for a full English breakfast.Just one point I would like to make to the owners of the kitchen. Your door is not wide enough for mothers with double prams or wheelchair users.

Fantastic food and service. Menu very good and lots of choices to pick! Cakes are good too! Latte was a decent one too. Can't fault this place

Good to go to a local cafe rather than a multi national chain. Very pleasant coffee yesterday. Shame there were no croissants.

I can't understand the top marks this place has been getting.This is a decent cafe with good quality food but there's nothing different here.Decent decor and friendly staff. Good looking cakes.If you want a bacon sandwich, a sausage bap or a baked potato, this will do you fine.Good chips.So, nothing wrong but nothing to shout home about.

Me and my friend called in for a coffee and found the place very small and quite noisy. The staff were ok but we decided to go else where for lunch.

Great food and great service. The scones in particular are delicious. I personally would much rather go here than to one of the (overpriced) chains

Visited this cafe with my two young kids for lunch on my way to see the squirrels at the point and was really impressed. Service was first class; speedy, thoughtful, preemptive friendly and efficient - could not have been better.The food was very nice, we had cblt sandwiches, kids sandwich and kids eggs on toast - all made with quality ingredients, well cooked, well seasoned, fresh and tasty.The coffee was also very good.I liked the highchair - it was fabric, rather than the usual hard plastic jobs - clean, comfortable, secure and pulled right up to the table.Also - the cafe is next to a huge pay and display carpark so parking is no problem - the cafe is quite well planned inside, whilst there is some room it would be best to leave bulky prams in the car if possible.We will definitely be back next time we come to see the squirrels.

Tap water available for free on request. -Free Wifi - ask staff for password. -Local and national newspapers to read. -Relaxing background music. Cons:-Toilets upstairs.

Went to the kitchen yesterday for lunch and decided to have the full English, it was brilliant. For such a small out of the way place, "The Kitchen" serves up some fantastic food. And in great surroundings, you aren't rushed, you are made to feel really comfortable and you always get a warm welcome.

Very polite servers and clean establashiment. Nice little place to go for a breakfast or coffee break even just a catch up with friends it is nice.

Great lunches from local people and cakes to die for. The cafe is run by local people so I feel we are providing jobs and profits to local people not Seattle. The salmon and scrambled eggs is delicious and they do nice coffee

Friendly service with relaxed atmosphere. Does glamorgan sausages in the veggie breakfast instead of tasteless quorn/soy sausages. Comes with mushroom, toast (white or brown choice), beans, mushroom and egg.Coffee was pleasant but not outstanding. Decor and seating were unexceptional and slightly odd lay-out upstairs. Overall, a very pleasant cafe worth seeking out if looking for a fueling stop in Formby . On the left hand side of chapal lane down a side alley, just before the junction with three tuns road, if you are walking up from beach/train station.

Would place this somewhere between average and very good if the ratings allowed this. Its quite small, but we were there early and got a seat upstairs. Surroundings are nice and service is fast and efficient - although a bit formal for this kind of venue. Nice coffee and toast. The cooked breakfast was OK but appeared to be grilled rather than fried which didn't really work quite as well as it might. The orange juice is also straight out of a can, which for nearly £2 a glass isn't great. Overall, a good place, but a few tweaks needed to really make it value for money - it ended up costing us nearly £25 for 4 breakfasts and drinks which is a lot even in an affluent place like Formby.

We love going there for early lunch. Staff always friendly despite being busy. Food served reasonably quick (important for those impatient little customers). Great choice of light meals and breakfasts. Good selection of drinks. Noticed they serve gluten free cakes. Only negative point may be full and may not get a table straight away...will try to be earlier next week.

Brilliant friendly place to go. Food all home made and delicious. Staff are very helpful and friendly. Have also been with young grandchildren and nothing was too much trouble.

I like visting this coffee shop. Always very friendly and the food is delicious. They serve breakfast all day and serve a lovely afternoon tea. I would highly recommend this to my friends.

This place is really popular - we arrived about 1.45, thinking we'd miss the rush, but had to give our name and had a table held for us. We went for a wonder around Formby and came back 15 minutes later to find a table waiting for us. The table wasn't perfect, it had low chairs and a low table, not ideal for eating lunch at, and was situated right by the door upstairs, making us feel like we were getting in the way. There was also a draught from the open window. A proper table and chair would be much more comfortable, we noticed another couple trying to eat at the other low table and having some difficulty.We ordered 2 paninis to share half and half, they were very tasty however the bacon and brie one only seemed to have brie in one half. The goats cheese with onion relish was lovely! Served with a small salad garnish and really tasty coleslaw. We then had a scone each, which were some of the nicest scones I've ever had. Lots of the cakes looked really good! Definately a good place for a bite to eat!

I visited this café 3 times and it is now my favourite place to eat in Formby. Compared to the local competition "The Kitchen" is in a league of its own. Freshly cooked food from the superb chef, home made cakes and fantastic service from the pretty servers. Definitely not the usual deep fried rubbish that makes you run to the toilet that is available in Formby village."The kitchen" is vibrant, very clean and has a very good menu, I will return time after time as it is really outstanding.I would like to thank the owners and all staff for their excellent service and amazing food.I will be returning soon.

This place is fantastic. Every member of staff was an absolute delight from start to finish, nothing was to much trouble for them. The home made cakes are ACTUALLY homemade!! They are the most light, tasty moreish cakes I have eaten in ages. Yes that's right cakes plural. Couldn't decide , so didn't. Lovely coffee to go with. The place has a lovely feel to it a real hidden gem. Comfy, clean and cake with a smile who could want for anything more. All I ask is, is it wrong to travel all the way back just to go to The Kitchen??? The answer , no!! Can't wait to revisit :)

on my occasional visits to Formby i always find myself visiting the The Kitchen and I am never disappointed.The ladies are always a pleasure and it's a treat to myself to try one of the many great, homemade cakes and have a coffee. I've never had a bad experience here and would recommend to anyone passing to stop by and experience this excellent cafe

Visited twice in the last few weeks. Yes it is busy, mainly with older clientele and families, I just dont understand why it's no 1 in formby when there are a lot better establishments! Had breakfast on both occasions, first time was ok but second time the sausages had grey bits in as did the bacon, like it was past its best.Sad to say I won't revisit but the service was good.

Lovely place- food is great- have the duck salad with hoisin and noodles. Brilliant staff, very welcoming.

great café, excellent food, best breakfast, brilliant cakes .Nice atmosphere attentive staff go here most weeks

Always fantastic food and friendly service. Can't beat the Breakfast, I think the girls serve the best bacon in town. Did I mention the scones ? various flavours OUTSTANDING !and bloomin' good value tooThank you ladies from Chris and Mike Innocent

Following a visit to Southport today we decided to find somewhere for a light lunch in Formby.A very friendly place, served by a new member of staff who was charming.The soup was homemade and delicious , the sandwiches tasty and freshly prepared.Overall a very clean , pleasant environment serving good quality food. It was busy around 1 pm but service was excellentOthers were enjoying the homemade cakes which could be purchased to takeaway too.

Arrived a little late in the day.Closes at 4.30. However, we receved good service from friendly staff. Decor and atmosphere was a little underwhelming . But first impressions can be deceptive.The tea , sandwiches are SUPERB!! Far too much for 2 people . They are happy to pop the surplus into a doggy bag.Would definitely return and make sure I am very hungry.Got to be the best value Cream Tea In the UK!

Hidden in a walkway in formby village.I have visited several times for afternoon tea. All the food is homemade,delicious cakess and plenty of choice. beautifully served and such lovely staff who cannot do enough to help.I have also visited twice for a light lunch. I had the quiche with salad and some little delicate fries,very nice !Very clean environment and an enjoyable experience. look forward to my next visit.

I don't normally take the time to write a review but The Kitchen is well worth a visit for friendly, professional service and excellent quality food. I have been on numerous occasions and the food and service never fail to deliver, from the full English breakfast (the best ever) to yummy panini's, finished off with to die for cakes served with a separate pot of cream. The Kitchen has recently become licensed, so on my last visit on Saturday afternoon, I treated myself to a nice glass of white to accompany my lunch, whilst my partner had a chilled peroni at a reasonable price. Well worth a visit, yummy cake and wine under the one roof, what more can a girl ask for.

Told by a friend to go here. Had a breakfast and the sausages are to die for. Great for a hangover cure. Lovely milkshakes and nice staff. What more could yuo ask for. Well done to the three ladies that run this friendly cafe.

Have just had a wonderful afternoon tea in the kitchen value for money in fact im taking goodie bag home as so filling cakes to die for and really fresh sandwiches, staff so friendly ahighly recommend must have. Thanks tricia and paul

While visiting my sister we were looking for somewhere to have lunch with a friend. After looking on trip advisor we decided we would give The Kitchen a go. After taking a while to decide what to have (the menu is all very tempting) we chose a salad. I had peri peri chicken while the others had prawn. It took a little while to arrive but that was because it was all freshly prepared. It was very nice. Then after came the choice of homemade cakes! all of which looked amazing. I went for orange and almond and the others had welch rhubarb cake. We'll to say they were very nice would be doing them an injustice they were amazing. With 3 cokes the whole bill was just under £30, the staff and atmosphere was very friendly. You must give it a go.

For a quick morning snack or lunch, in my opinion there is no better place in Formby. Having now tried most of the lunch menu over recent months, I have never been disappointed. The service and friendly staff are a bonus.

We have just had a fabulous Afternoon Tea at The Kitchen. My son booked it for Mother's Day and it was an inspired choice ! I have visited before and the service is lovely ,always with a smile and today was no exception even though we arrived late we were looked after really well and the Afternoon Tea was gorgeous. The homemade scones a dream ( both sweet and savoury ones)and cakes were to die for,it really is worth a try when you are visiting Formby.
