Thyme on the yarrow in South Ribble

The owner and her assistant are lovely, welcoming people. Had the best cheese and tomato toastie I’ve ever had. Soooo tasty. We had to wait a while for the food but we weren’t in a rush, and the drinks came very quickly. Very good lemon drizzle cake too.

Never again, overpriced food, very small barm sandwiches, ordered bacon barm, cost £4.50 for 2 slices of bacon on a 3 bite barm 🙈

A lovely lunch with fab coffee & treats for dogs. Great avo on sour-dough with poached egg. Caution the rocky road though… it’s addictive!!!

Amazing food, great customer service, very nice people, I deffinitely recommend this place to anyone who visits croston.

Recently under new ownership this small cafe is a must visit for anyone in the Croston area. Cosy , friendly atmosphere all are made welcome by Suzy. Food is excellent , delicious homemade soups and cakes, toasted like of which you’ve never seen before! Recommend you go and see for yourself, you’ll be back!

Had a wonderful lunch here so came back for breakfast. Tasty food, good coffee, friendly staff, would recommend

We stopped here for a coffee on a lovely sunny day and all 3 of the staff members were so miserable! No smile or hello as we came in, coupled with quite a long wait for our drinks, we felt the staff were pretty rude and wouldn’t return. Coffee was fine.

After a walk around beautiful Croston Moss, a perfect flat-white and a lovely cake. Cooked breakfast & sandwiches good too! Dog friendly downstairs.

This is a regular lunch stop when walking around the lovely Croston area. I really can’t fault the food quality, the cleanliness or friendly nature of the owner and staff. Well worth visiting, we will certainly return and have no hesitation in recommending

Stopped here for lunch, whilst passing through Croston. Never been to this cafe before but we were pleasantly surprised - great range of sandwiches and cakes, and ours were fresh and delicious, and nicely presented. Coffee is also very good. Plan to visit again soon

My daughter & I had been out walking and decided to pop in the cafe for a cake and a drink. I ordered a hot chocolate, latte, cookie and a cake. Firstly I was shocked at the price, very expensive. We decided to sit upstairs. Only 3 tables provided in a dark dirty room. 2 tables that were available to sit at were both dirty. Our cakes & drinks arrived , too much syrup in the drinks and my daughters didn’t come with cream as described on the menu. The cake & cookie arrived both dry (they looked nicer than tasted). I left feeling I wasted £17.00 and regretted visiting.

Can’t fault these guys!! We used them for a family event and the food was fantastic! Everyone commented on the quality and presentation. Matt and Lisa were friendly, helpful and are very skilled at what they do. I’ll recommend them to everyone! Thank you again for making our day so special!

I’m a regular to this cosey coffee shop/bakery. The cakes are amazing, and so is the coffee. I live nearby, but would easily travel there if I was further away. The owners are such friendly people, we’ve built a real rapport with them and they always have time to chat to us. Since taking over the business a couple of years ago they have worked tirelessly to develop it, even during these difficult times. They’ve also created a safe system of ordering/collecting at the door, or if you’re sitting inside they have lots of sanitiser everywhere, waiting on staff wear visors etc. so we always feel comfortable. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this fantastic shop to anyone!!

My husband and I visited here today and planned to get breakfast. While waiting outside (at a safe distance) we noticed one of the staff serving food was not wearing a mask. Also waiting customers inside were not wearing masks. I would have thought a small business like this would be doing all it could to make its customers feel secure. We wanted to use this cafe in an effort to support local business but unfortunately felt it was safer to go elsewhere and will not be returning.

My wife and I stopped in Croston for lunch while out cycling. Obviously, with Covid19 takeaways are the order of the day. The staff were very pleasant and helpful, the food was well presented, freshly prepared and great quality. They even managed to make us ‘skinny dry cappuccinos’ We enjoyed our food on an adjacent bench overlooking the River Yarrow. We would not hesitate calling by again. Very nice people.

I ordered a chocolate caramel cake for my boyfriends 30th birthday to celebrate during lockdown. The cake looked delicious and I must say it tasted even better.....it was not sickly or dry. The sponge was lovely and it tasted amazing. Everybody loved it! Safe to say it didn’t last long 😃

We ordered a an Afternoon Tea for my Mother's birthday which took place during the current Lockdown. It was a surprise for my Mum and Dad and they thoroughly enjoyed the Afternoon Tea. They sent us messages saying how lovely all the food was. A lovely selection and a good amount of food. The ordering process was very straight forward.

A must try for any cake lover. Scrumptious cakes and friendly service. Will definitely be eating the cakes again.

Had some cupcakes delivered yesterday to brighten our day up during lockdown and we were not disappointed!! Delicious! Great customer service and organised very speedily! Thanks xx

We have enjoyed both the afternoon tea box and the Easter treat box recently and both were absolutely delicious. The brownies and cakes are just amazing and I wouldn't hesitate to order again. Thank you Thyme on the Yarrow. Excellent food and service.

This is a little gem right in the heart of Croston. Amazing lunches from sandwiches to afternoon tea, great breakfast barns eating in or taking away....never had something I don’t yet like. Then lockdown happened, and well....what a treat! The cakes!!!! Wow! What can I say! Amazing. I think I may come out of this 10 stone heavier they are so good! Orders taken and promptly delivered to our home, completely contactless, and above all fresh and tasting AMAZING! Even did a last minute special order of my mother in laws favourite cupcakes for her birthday as we couldn’t go to see her due to lockdown. Brilliant service, brilliant food!

These were delicious. A very welcome treat in these difficult times. Very accommodating doing a special delivery for my sisters birthday. Delivery with social distance guidelines to your door. Thank you so much.

Lovely afternoon tea so yummy 😋 can’t wait to visit once the lockdown is over. Will definitely be ordering again soon.

Delicious chocolate bunny Malteser cake ordered by my Mum who is a regular at this lovely cafe! Highly recommend a visit when things get back to normal after Covid, to sample some of their gorgeous food and goodies. 🐣 xx

We have had a lovely delivery today of chocolate treat boxes and scones with cream and jam. Absolutely delicious, excellent value for money and delivered on time in a very safe way. We will be ordering again soon!

Have just had an easter treat box and the bunny and creme egg brownies were tremendous. You also got a bag of eggs and some chocolate bunnies and a creme egg plus 3 brownies all for 8.50. Have also had the chocolate selection brownie box and they were fabulous too. Quick delivery and great products x

Planning for a birthday during these time of isolation was always going to be a little tougher than usual, but Lisa's beautiful Lemon cake went down a storm.

We have had a brownie box delivered today from Thyme on the Yarrow. They arrived within the given delivery window, friendly service when dropped off, adhering to the 2 metre restrictions in place! fantastic tasting brownies! A lovely treat in these strange times! I will definitely be ordering again

My friends birthday on 3rd April. Contacted Thyme on The Yarrow for a box of cakes to be delivered to her. Was no problem for them and they even wrote a message on the box from me. I got a lovely message from my friend complimenting the home made cakes. She was very happy.

We have just enjoyed a delicious afternoon tea delivered from Thyme on the Yarrow!

I visit this cafe every week as the coffee and cakes are scrumptious. All home cooked . Staff are always friendly and kind .

I ordered some birthday cupcakes through their other Facebook page ‘Baked, By thyme on the yarrow’ they managed to squeeze in our order at very short notice and accommodate all our requests so we even got the cakes we wanted rather than a last minute compromise. Everyone was very impressed at the look of the cupcakes and even happier with the taste. Will definitely order again!

Ordered cupcakes for a childrens birthday party & WOW these are so lovely a definate work of art, they taste gorgeous too - certainly recommend the cakes, homemade & something new to try every week - 1st class

I quite frequently call here for lunch, either eating in or taking away. The food is always excellent, the staff friendly and the atmosphere pleasant. I’d highly recommend the cakes.

I only had a coffee, but both the staff were helpful and polite, the coffee excellent, and if it wasn't for my need to lose weight I would have been spoiled for choice from an excellent, delicious display of food and cakes at the counter.

Thyme is an excellent cafe. High quality food at reasonable prices served by attentive friendly staff, we really enjoy our visits. Highly recommended place to warm up after a winter walk around Croston

I have visited Thyme on the Yarrow several times and have always enjoyed the tasty food and great service. I recently ordered a celebration cake and it was amazing so light and full of flavour. Thank you and I will see you again soon

Popped in for a spot of lunch with mum and we were not disappointed!

Great food, Great value & lovely staff. Not much more to say really except that whenever you visit you won’t regret it

Great ice cream. Good choice hot day and a good stop. Would stop for a coffee and cake but parking is difficult

I’d definitely recommend this place, had afternoon tea today, we got mixed up with our time but the staff were so gracious with us & accommodating. They are so welcoming & friendly. The afternoon tea food was all bite size which I prefer, it was all delicious especially the pastries & soup. The cakes were so light & the scones were great too. We had such a lovely time we’ll definitely be back.

A lovely little cafe friendly staff lovely selection of food beautiful scones and delicious smoothies would defiantly recommend this lovely place.

Second visit, food was very good and cakes delicious. Staff are always friendly and polite, worth a visit!

The homemade food and pleasant servers add to the lovely location of this sweet little place. Great scones!!!!

Had lunch here following a Sunday morning walk around the village and surrounding farm land. Excellent sandwiches and great coffee. It’s a small cosy establishment they menu focuses on sandwiches, toasties and jacket potatoes and delivers quality at a very reasonable price. Friendly staff and owner make it a pleasure to visit.

We called in for a bite to eat at lunchtime today, quite a small place and tables a little closely packed together but the food was nice and served quite quickly, would visit again.

Caught up with friends here today. The fresh homemade soup was very nice and moist carrot cake was delicious! Friendly, helpful staff. Reasonable prices. Will definitely return!😋

We called in for a cream tea and were going to sit downstairs but were directed upstairs because "it will be warmer" There was only one table free but it was packed round by what appeared to be the contents of a couple of storage cupboards with items in boxes and carrier bags. As the staff must have known how many tables were occupied upstairs I am surprised we were directed away from the empty tables downstairs.

I only had a drink as going for a meal at the Weatsheaf. Nice little cafe which had a good cake selection. Shame I didn't try. Pleasant staff.

We just stumbled upon this place whilst visiting family and it was a great find. We tried a couple slices of cakes and it was amazing. The staff were very welcoming and friendly. I’d definitely visit again next time we are in the area. Thank you.

Suggested my builders tried this place out to support our local community business and they loved it so much they've gone back for more. Great selection, fab toasties. Yum! Thanks for feeding my workmen. 👍🏻

A whistle stop visit at the end of a walk around the pretty village of Croston. I had a delicious pate served with toast and salad. Just sorry I didn’t have time to follow with scones! Maybe next time. Attentive, cheery service.

Always friendly with a good choice of food and drinks - really good coffee and great eggs and toast! I pop in occasionally- it’s great for the locals as well as those passing through

We arrived at this tea shop at the end of a short visit to Croston. Staff were very friendly and there was a good range of light meals and snacks on the menu. The food was excellent and prices very reasonable. We had to rush our visit, unfortunately, as we had to catch a bus back to Southport which has an infrequent service on a Saturday. Howwever, we will definitely be back to this delightful village and this excellent little shop in the near future.

The cake and the pies are absolutely delicious, and the lady who was running the place was lovely. I went in just as they were closing but she was very happy to help me out and make recommendations. Very good indeed.

When I ordered a scone, I was politely asked if I wanted cream and jam. When I hesitated, unsure, several bystanders said, "Yes, you must!" So I did and got the full, deluxe scone experience!! It is one I won't soon forget!

A great afternoon walking found us rolling up 10 minutes before closing. The welcome was undiminished; really pleasant and engaged service. The tea cake was the best we've ever had and the homemade chocolate cake didn't disappoint either. A nice put of properly strong tea was was matched by Sue's delicious thick hot chocolate.

As a visitor to Croston, I stopped by for lunch after strolling around the village. What a delightful surprise awaited me! The atmosphere, the food, the service - what a lovely time I had. I would love to become a "regular" here for food and fun!

We usually pop in for coffee & cake after a walk around Croston Moss. Lovely flat area, great dog walk & Croston full of little back roads and beautiful houses. The river Yarrow runs through the centre and Church Street is cobbled leading down to the beautiful church & old school buildings. The staff are always accomodating, efficient and friendly. The soups and scones are truly delicious and having sampled the take out bacon harms I would definitely recommend this cafe to everyone. Dog friendly too.

Great little cafe, with lots to chose from. Called in for a breakfast barm, have been before and the food is always very good. Service is good and there are tables if you wish to sit in and eat. Good location in the village and lots of cyclists use the cafe for a pit stop. Worth a visit .

Decidimos tomar un tiempo familiar y vaya para un paseo en Croston.

Nice coffees, cakes and sandwiches in this small but well formed cafe in Croston. Great service too.

I relaxed with great coffee and homemade soup after a winter walk. Friendly staff & lovely cakes! Free wifi.

Nice tearoom, good range of food and drinks. Well priced and lovely attentive service from the staff.

Walking into Thyme on the Yarrow is like fitting into a comfortable slipper, it has wonderful food a great relaxed atmosphere and it's based in the lovely village of Croston. It serves take away snacks and sandwiches as well as lovely meals and afternoon teas...

Primera visita en el café de la tarde del domingo tuvimos poco encantador un delicioso sándwich con una taza de café. Todo el personal era muy servicial y el servicio era muy bueno. Bien merece una visita.

Después de haber disfrutado de un domingo por la mañana paseo por la campiña circundante Croston paramos aquí para un almuerzo ligero. La comida es muy buena y con una sonrisa.

Delicioso café para visitar. Café y batidos y aunque no tienen ninguna comida en el tiempo, el menú parecía delicioso. Altamente recomendado!

First timer to this cafe the place looked amazing. I ordered a bacon and sausage sandwich and paid £3.20 which you would except it to be at a high quality. Until I saw my bacon been microwaved oh my god it was like eating a piece of leather. I hope this was a one off if not I won't be returning. Sorry guys honesty is always the best policy, especially being in a competitive market.

Again, another delightful eating experience at this lovely little café. Loved the selection of fresh finger sandwiches and savoury tarts-warmed up too!Lots of choice from brownies to yummy scone, jam and cream.A delightful cranberry and ginger drink was served alongside this too!We could have stayed all afternoon-DELIGHTFUL!

Cute little cafe takeaway, serving a good range of snacks, cakes and light meals. Well presented, tasty and good prices

Delightful cafe with a delicious afternoon tea, especially liked the savoury food included which is a refreshing change from lots of cakes. The coffee was excellent and the staff were welcoming and helpful. Will definitely visit again when in the area.

We called in here after a walk round the church and surrounding area and found a little gem, the food and coffee were excellent, the service was maybe at village pace but friendly and efficient.

As soon as this cafe opened i was straight there as croston has needed something like this for ages!I've Been a couple of times with friends every time waited more than 20 Mins for just a drink! When there are 2-3 staff serving and only had about 2 people in the cafe who was sat seated waiting for there order.My friend ordered a chicken sandwich and repeatedly said no tomato or onion when it came it was full of it! I had a caramel and vanilla milkshake when the first time I had it had cream and chocolate on top, this time it was just plain so when questioning it the staff was rude saying well looks like I will have to state on the board its extra for that, I wouldn't mins but when it's what you have got before you expect it again and the milkshake is small for £2.30! They cafe looks lovely but the staff are far to slow and need to smile and be more polite.

We celebrated my daughter's 10th birthday with 4 friends, with a lovely afternoon tea here.The owner opened the coffee shop especially, as they are usually closed here on a Monday.They have recently opened a seating area upstairs-this was were are decorated table awaited us-it was set with pretty china cups and decorations.All the food was delicious and fresh and well worth the money.Enjoyed by everyone-we will be back to sample other delights!

I had a large roll with grains on top,filled with salad and chedder cheese.It was very nice.My husband had carrot cake and a cappuccino,which he really enjoyed.I had a pot of tea, served with a china cup and saucer.My husband is Dutch and he also like me,enjoys littles tea cafes in England.We would certainly go again.

Lovely location and tastefully decorated. More of a take away sandwich shop than a cafe, although there are two tables if you decided to eat in.Food was tasty and the coffee was good.On the whole a nice experience.To the girls that are running the place, please learn to say "Hello" or a little "Hi" when someone enters your establishment.And come on girls, let's have a little smile now and again, you know you want to :)

I came in here on a very hot day (during the heatwave) looking for something to cool me down. I chose a smoothly and was very impressed I got to select my own ingredients!!! I also had a tuna roll again very nice. Cute little place, just what's croston needed. Very helpful and smiley staff. Will definitely be back
