Tilly's in Cheshire East

I rang up to book a table as we were a group of 8 cyclists. The table was ready when we arrived and we were given a friendly warm welcome and our orders taken immediately. Service was speedy and food excellent, I had a tasty pea soup with a warm fresh cheese scone. One of the guys had an enormous plate of beans on thick toast. There was a good selection of cakes and I shared a yummy Date & Oat flapjack. It feels more spacious since the refurb and I noticed plenty of seating outside. They are open 7 days a week and we will definitely be visiting again.

Visited today based on reviews - and we were not disappointed. Service was great, staff were lovely too. We had 2 cappuccinos, the coffee cake and bakewell - and sourdough sandwich (chicken/bacon) thoroughly enjoyed. Lovely interior and comfortable seating. We will return!

We visited for lunch and the food was lovely. The new decor is modern and elegant. The service was friendly and quick, just excellent, we will be visiting again! 👌

Lovely cafe in a nice country village. Great food and friendly service, we will have to try one of their pizza evenings they look good and reasonably priced.

Lovely place, friendly staff and excellent food. Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. We will definitely be going back soon. Beautifully decorated and very welcoming.

Quick carbo snack with three other cyclists. They had cake, which they enjoyed. I had a bowl of chips which was absolutely perfect! Never had better. Good service, very accommodating, all in all - top class.

This is a cafe we have been previously. It’s known for being friendly and welcoming. On this occasion we have experienced the opposite. Rude unfriendly with a behaviour like we were something under their shoes. We felt like second rate people outcasts. Most definitely not welcome. Thanks to the experience we will never forget or return. All our friends who also frequent this cafe will be included in our experience. Sad.

Everyrhing about this cafe is bang on I'm a vegan and healthy eaters, and everytime I ask for a personalised change to the menu to suit my nutritional preferences to keep the meal healthy the answer is always yes! What a refreshing change! A 100% can-do attitude

Excellent breakfast, gluten free bread and dairy free alternative milks . Normal breakfast fabulous too. Was staying next door so handy to pop in. Staff friendly and service excellent too. Would definitely return if staying in the area again.

I had the most delicious slice of Coffee and walnut cake. Beautifully baked, texture and flavour was spot on. Portion size was just right. I will be back!

Spacious cafe. Accessible toilet. Toasties , Jacket Potatoes, lots of cakes. Very clean. Dog friendly. Parking outside.

What a find this was, serving some of the best breakfasts around, friendly staff and the bread is delicious. Perfect for cyclists like myself wishing to fuel themselves mid ride. Without doubt, it’s my go to cafe on a Sunday. You won’t be disappointed.

Lovely friendly and welcoming. Just had a scone and coffee after our walk round the area. We sat outside with our dog but plenty of room inside. Seemed very popular with cyclists in the area. Will go back again for lunch later in the week while in the area.

My wife and I met two friends for lunch at this great cafe. I was advised to book in advance, so I did. The menu choices were very comprehensive and there were also 'specials'. The quiche was particularly good - not your usual rather dry uninspiring cheese flan! Regrettably there was only one portion available to us - so get in early if you want it. The staff were all very engaging which made for a good atmosphere in the unpretentious, but charming surroundings. Pricewise? - very reasonable indeed.

Lovely food, fresh sandwiches with salad, amazing homemade cakes (the carrot cake and cherry and almond slice come highly recommended) and wonderful staff. A great place to go for lunch. Give it a try, you won't regret it!

A marvelous jewel of a cafe. Very popular. Even though I was in just after one o'clock, maybe a bit later, the day's soup had run out. The tuna toastie on granary bread with marmalade melted cheese homemade coleslaw and salad quickly overcame any slight disappointment. The proprietor(s), and staff are lovely, I have been here only once before, yet feel like a long-established customer.

Thought it was a bit pricey but not ridiculous Food and service was good, delightful young lady took our order. Went to pay and was charged 12 pounds for the Panini which should have been 10. Was corrected very quickly! I’m not saying I was deliberately overcharged, but we were obvious tourists and was first visit, I really hope it was an honest mistake, but I guess I’ll never know as I’ll go back to the Dysart Arms instead

Called in at Tilley’s recently for breakfast and was delighted we did, great food at reasonable price.

Been here a few times now and they are excellent, nice food drinks and lovely staff, can’t fault the place, very clean with seating inside and out when the weather allows, a must visit

We stopped at this little café on our way home to Bristol from a short staycation in the Lake District. We had decided, as it was a reasonably pleasant day, to take a mostly non-Motorway route home heading off the M6, onto the M56 and then taking the the A49 to Shrewsbury to a restaurant that we had made a reservation for lunch. Then we continued on the A49 and A417 to Cirencester (via SE Gloucester), from there it was then only a short and familiar onward journey to home. Having got clear of the motorways and onto the A49 we were in need of a break, and a cuppa. To we looked out for a likely place to stop and that turned out to be Bunbury, and thus to this café. We really enjoyed our coffee and tea and we were sad that we couldn’t enjoy some of the delicious food that we saw served to other tables. As I say we had reservations for lunch elsewhere. My partner took the opportunity for a comfort break and, whilst she did so, I purchased a limited edition print of a painting by a local artist. It was exactly what we needed, in colours suiting our lounge; the big bonus was that the subject matter really appealed too. It was my gift to my wonderful partner and to our lovely home.

It’s the second time we’ve been here now as we visited the village, we had 2 breakfast sandwiches, I had sausage and egg and the wife had bacon and egg, both really enjoyed them and a lovely pot of tea too, lovely staff who were very polite and accommodating,thank you

Popped into the village to look around as my wife used to go to the school there many years ago,walking around we came across this lovely place, fab food n drink and friendly staff too, will definitely go again when in the area,thank you!

I enjoyed a delicious freshly made smoked salmon and cream cheese bagel with a steaming hot flat white to takeaway, as well as something for all the family. I picked it up and the staff were so friendly and efficient !

Lovely friendly welcome when we arrived for a late lunch. We sat on the terrace, and the lap blanket offered to the lady of my party was welcomed. Menu available all day. Toasties were served with crisps, salad and coleslaw. The side order of chips was unnecessary but delicious. We hope to return.

The staff very helpful, coffee fantastic, Breakfast not greasy, good portions, place very clean. Overall a lovely place to have a relaxing morning breakfast, highly recommended

Amazing food and drinks. Lovely atmosphere and SUCH friendly staff. Coffee was incredible (and they had a range of milk alternatives!). Can’t wait to come back!

Really welcoming atmosphere. Busy at lunch but even though there were 7 of us we managed to get in. Price of food very competitive. Cakes to die for.

We are staying near and had a walk to here, we ordered to take away, It was still warm when we got home, so pleased with this Good size panini and good prices Will visit again

When Tillys could not open, the team stood outside and told potential customers to go to my business, Chestnut Meats Cafe instead. This action to support other local businesses goes above and beyond, and shows why they are such a superb business. Please support them.

lovely clean bright cafe.. lovely fresh hot food.. great service .. very very clean track and trace well kept .. would recommend

Cycled there today. Great little cafe that served a decent portion of chips and good coffee. Will certainly be back

Really enjoy popping in for a hot chocolate and tiffin cake They also do a full breakfast or lunch. It’s a great place to meet friends. My wife and I have been several times and have really enjoy it every time.

A super little cafe, by far the best smoked salmon bagel I’ve ever had. Great coffee, lovely attentive staff. We stopped off here on a bike ride and would highly recommend it. staffstaff.staff. We stopped off her

I have been lucky enough to have breakfast at some of the best hotels/restaurants across the country. I have to say the full English breakfast here is the best I’ve had anywhere. The sausages and bacon are from the local butcher and are really high quality. The eggs are local and great yolky eggs. I’ve also had the home made quiche, which was also very good. Not only does the place have good food but the staff are incredibly friendly. When the owner is around (which is often) he always gives me a warm greeting and is full of smiles. I love this place and can’t recommend it highly enough.

Tily's was a check point on an audax i took part in over the weekend. The weather was awful and we were wet though by the time we made it to the cafe. The cafe was warm, cosy and the staff were superb. Food was great too.

Needed a last minute stop after being stopped from visiting a nearby café for wearing cycling shoes, Tilly's were very welcoming and even helped out charging my GPS. Great bacon sandwich and service. Thanks :)

called in for lunch and order brie and cranberry panini and a bacon panini . service excellent , staff very friendly l food delicious and décor spot on. I would highly recommend this café , a great way to do lunch. excellent village for a walk , close to Tarporley , go on have a visit. if parking is tight then park up at the Bunbury jubilee car park , the road to it is by a charming thatched cottage on the corner of hurst drive . sat nav Bunbury, Tarporley CW6 9QX for the playing grounds

Found this little gem halfway through an 80 mile loop through beautiful Cheshire. Lovely hosts, great food (poached eggs were superb and cooked to perfection) and good coffee. Places like this are increasingly hard to find - we’ll be back very soon.

Great atmosphere, very friendly and picturesque little village, will be calling mid way on the next Cheshire loop road ride! Food looked great but I hadn’t earned a cake so just had a super flat white😂😎

Called in for lunch at this local cafe. Nice decor, comfortable seating and very friendly welcome and prompt service. It used to be said such places didn't exist in England but it's not true. A wide range of dishes, sandwiches and light meals to cater for breakfast, brunch, lunch or afternoon tea. They make a very decent coffee too. Very enjoyable.

Lovely litle quirky cafe - great service, very friendly - and good food and drinks. Not expensive - and has a nice ambience. A regular watering hole when in the area. .Limiteed car parking immediately outside, but plenty available nearby.

We always enjoy a visit here. Excellent cakes and the coffee is very good too. The staff are helpful.

Nice informal coffee shop with good food and snacks. Staff are welcoming and it is a good stop-off if you are travelling -- the cyclists seem to enjoy it ! Food is home-cooked and very enjoyable.

Great evening at Tilly’s “Burger Night” good food, excellent service and a chance to chat and have a laugh with other customers, a brilliant evening,looking forward to next month.

Called in for coffee and were so tempted by the menu - and hospitality - that we stayed for lunch. Not disappointed. Lovely relaxed and friendly atmosphere. Great food, well presented. Would definitely return if we lived nearer.

Have visited this coffee shop for several months whilst house hunting. Never disappointed. Good quality, home cooked food. Staff so welcoming! Happy to have moved into the area knowing we have a great coffee shop within walking distance. Added bonus, they are happy to accept dogs too!

Found this place after searching trip advisor. We was staying at Peckforton Castle for my sons wedding so wanted somewhere local for lunch before checking in. Good varied menu, service was very good. Food was really good nice big portions. Loved the carrot cake. Next time we’re in the area we will definitely be back.

Right in the middle of Bunbury village this place is great for a stop-off, for a full meal, or a snack, brunch etc. It is obviously well situated because it seems quite popular with the cycle community. The atmosphere os small, cosy and friendly; the food is very good from the small but varied menu and the cake selection is very tempting!

Stumbled on this little gem today. All the staff really nice and friendly. The food served was fresh and tasty. Excellent surroundings and location.

Very warm welcome great for mid morning coffee , light lunches and afternoon break . good cakes, good coffee . It just a short walk to Bunbury playing fields and the childrens play ground . A great spot

Another good lunch at this village coffee shop, Mels cheese on toast is the best ever and the staff are so friendly you feel as part of a large family, Kev is a great host at this local meeting place.

Lovely little place, staff were great, welcoming and efficient.

A first visit and well received, good coffee an excellent quiche and leek and potato soup, good atmosphere and dog friendly - will return.

Great service and one of the best little cafes in Cheshire. Mulled wine was great this week. Parking is limited but walking is to be encouraged.

This cafe is on the main road through Tarporley, very limited parking outside the café as the road is pretty narrow with many cars trying to park, but there are a few car parks not to far away. The food is very good in the cafe so it is worth the effort trying to get parke.

As the title says, friendly service and excellent food. I've lived near here for many years but never been in. I'll make a point of going back soon!

Great little coffee shop. Quaint and olde-worlde, with a very pleasant ambience. Good selection of snacks, and great coffee. Service top notch. Limited parking immediately outside, but street parking available.

Having moved to Winsford a couple of years ago and have a small dog that needs walking, we decided to explore our surrounding area one day and came across TIlly's coffee shop. Dogs are welcome both inside and outside on the small patio and staff are happy to bring our Cavalier a dog chew to keep him occupied so for this alone they are ticking the right boxes. We returned the other day for coffee and cake (without the dog) and must say their coffee is lovely and while I'm not exactly a coffee coinnosieur, I can tell a good coffee and this hits the spot.

Lovely quaint oldyworldly coffee shop in village location with home made food.

Has an amazing following and a real centre of the village feel...

A fabulous find - thanks to sat nav

Popped in for early lunch/brunch. Delightful café with great specials & tremendous service. Will definitely be back & the cakes are amazing.

I booked a table for lunch for my Dad's 89th birthday. The staff were so welcoming and kind towards Dad, making him feel extra special. The orders were taken quickly, but it did quite a time for the lunch to arrive. The ham was absolutely delicious, but the fries were disappointing. Could we have an option for chunky chips please? The coffee cake was delicious. Thanks for your kindness and for singing Happy Birthday to Dad .

Really comfy and welcoming, lots of things to choose from both hot and cold food.Great selection of cake. Lovely staff,service was excellent too.

Excellent and popular stop for cyclists, nice coffee and great range of cakes. I've been here half a dozen times now, always busy and always great service.

Found this little gem of a tea room by accident. Glad I did. Old world sort of country cafe with a great selection of food and drinks. I had the club sandwich which was delicious and plentiful. Nice fresh salad plus crisps so no need for a side of chips! Look forward to returning soon to try the breakfast.

Went too this venue for breakfast on Thursday and how fantastic it was plenty of choice we went for the full breakfast , extra toast an a huge pot of tea ( enough for 2 cups in one pot) we didn't need the extra toast either, service was quick and friendly and have no hesitation of returning for this over again the ladies serving were very polite and attentive,you also get multiple free papers to read while their and Free WiFi and plenty more on offer thank you we boaters will be returning

We were passing and liked the look from outside.The customer service is very good and they are all very friendly.I had ham, egg and fries which was good.The interior is interesting and comfortable.They stock a wide range of teas and infusions.

First visit with a group of cycling friends - nice welcome upon arrival from friendly staff. Good selection of sandwiches, baguettes and toasties which are reasonably priced, also good coffee and tea served in civilised cups and saucers. Staff really attentive without being in your face. I've read the negative comments about this place and would strongly disagree with them - my group of cycling friends have been here on numerous occasions and wouldn't come back if it wasn't up to scratch! I for one will also return.

Always lovely to stop at Tilly's during a long ride and today was no exception. Coffee is high quality, hot chic always a hit and the cakes are great!Extra star for me would be for a homemade Hollandaise on the eggs royale - the shop bought one is a bit too vinegary. For the price I'd expect homemade.Thanks for being so welcoming to cyclists - much appreciated.

Stopped off at Tilly's for a coffee as we were passing through. I have to drink decaf and this was one of the best coffee's I have had in a long time. Very relaxing atmosphere.

Met a friend here for lunch, not knowing anything about the place, and was blown away.Great atmosphere; an eclectic customer mix including cyclists, groups, couples & singles, all chatting away & enjoying the fabulous food & friendly service. As I live locally will definitely make it a regular stop & spread the word! Cheers.

Just been to Tillie's again the coffee and food is excellent .The Cakes are wonderful and the staff very helpful and friendly .A super relaxing meal .A must to visit

Lovely open cafe with outside seating , set in the lovely village of Bunbury, everything we had was first class, from the coffee to the toastie and salad, friendly helpfull staff and very reasonable prices, will certainly call again, seems very popular with cyclists, great place in such a quaint village!

We booked a table for Mum's 85th birthday lunch. We felt welcome on arrival and menus were quickly made available. The menu choice is orientated towards toasties, jacket potatoes, salads, quiche, soups, with a wide selection of teas and coffees and a great selection of cakes. The meals arrived reasonably quickly and all our choices were delicious, each using local produce. We were thrilled when Mum was served with a complimentary cake, with a birthday candle.Great value, excellent quality of food, very pleasant service. What more could you want?

This cycle friendly cafe is situated in a delightful Cheshire village, its clean inside and comfortable, it seems to be the hub of the community but you don't feel like an outsider gate crashing the party. The food and drink are nice but the chocolate on my cappuccino seemed a little cheap tasting. The toilet situation is a little strange being slightly hidden between a untidy dark book room, the staff seemed a little unhappy on the day we visited too.Im not sure if it has one but a cycle stand maybe a good idea.

Lovely service , staff very nice , food gorgeous and not too badly priced , very clean will be back , especially for one of their scones again.

A small village cafe with friendly helpful staff. The food is really tasty, freshly prepared and even the sandwiches come with a good size salad (no pathetic salad garnish here!). It's a very popular place and with good reason.

Lovely staff, beautiful place in keeping with the village. Food was perfect tasted lovely. Pot of tea was also perfect (a proper brew ) Will recommend and definitely return thank you.

We enjoyed this genuine local, independent village cafe. The space itself is the first thing to appeal - a large, light area in a character building with nice vintage furniture. Comfortable and not too perfect - a mixture of styles and a bit of clutter add to the relaxed and welcoming vibe. Good baking is a feature - there was still quite a range of choices even after 3pm on the day we visited, and all if them were displayed in a tall cabinet so that we could see them all before making our selections. Coffee disappointing but service excellent and there were several newspapers for us to read as we relaxed. There is some parking for a few cars right outside, and a well set-up toilet. This is a good place in an appealing, "real" village to take a break while in this part of Cheshire.

This is a great little cafe, friendly, good quality & value for money. At Christmas time they sell coffee with Baileys and their hot chocolate with Baileys is not to be missed - so smooth and full of flavour. Very popular with cycle groups out for a day

What a perfect place, simple in external and internal appearance, serving fantastic food and drinks of every type. Always busy, though at some times there are so many cyclists inside and of course bikes outside it is hard to get a seat, just choose your time to visit carefully. The welcome from the owner and all the staff is warm and friendly regardless of how busy they are. Only one drawback such limited parking at the front of the place, for cars!

Old style cafe, decor wise that is. Friendly staff, good range on the menu plus specials. Quick service of tasty meals. Home made cake available as well. Seems to be a favourite with cyclists as well. Reasonably priced.

First visit to Tilly's today, my husband rang and booked a table, when we arrived our table was ready with my husband's name and time on a small chalkboard so we knew which was our table. Lovely welcoming staff, we ordered drinks whilst choosing from the menu, there were specials on a board available too! We had - baked potato with grated cheese, coleslaw and salad, bagel with scrambled egg and smoked salmon, leek and potato soup with a chicken,bacon and mayo sandwich, pot of tea and two lattes! .... delicious! Latte was smooth and not too strong, one of the nicest coffees I've tasted. We then had a scone with cream and jam and a piece of carrot cake, we were not disappointed! All in all a terrific find, lovely staff and delicious food, well worth a visit!

Olde- worlde slightly quirky great coffee shop in the heart of the Village, serving excellent home made food and snacks. Very reasonable prices. They have a loyalty scheme which gives a free cuppa for every 5 bought. Very friendly and helpful staff. Can fully recommend.

Very friendly atmosphere in this coffee shop in the heart of Bunbury. Good choice of teas, coffees and also hot and cold food. Very popular with cyclists (but you can't have everything!)

Visited this café/restaurant with friends excellent service and food a worm welcome from friendly staff.well worth a visit .Good for afternoon tea

Heard so much about this place since home fires from my friend so off we went to visit. Most disappointing from the moment we walked in and were greeted with "don't you want to park on the car park?" By the owner no " good morning or anything, so not a good start. Think he could do with going on a course to show him how to meet and greet. The whole place needs some tlc from a good paint job and a cracked window, to tables being very sticky. When the breakfast came it looked good and was hot however the white of my egg wasn't cooked enough so put me off the rest. I have to say this place has the most uncomfortable atmosphere I have ever had the misfortune to encounter in a long time, so sorry to say I won't be returning or recommending

Very nice cafe in a pleasant village I had a delicious jacket potato and my daughter had one of the specials All nicely served by a pleasanr waitress and the owner Only downside although it was a warmish day both doors were kept open making it a bit draughty -but a minor grumble - everything else was very good would like to sample the cakes next time as they looked delicious

Recommended to us after leaving hire boat on Shropshire Union Canal.Excellent recommendation.Big welcome on arrival, tables rearranged for us without asking & obviously very popular with local residents.Good menu with some nice imagination. Food well prepared, served promptly & was delicious.Great to see a local business thriving - deservedly.

Good cakes, nice coffee, bacon sausages and toast all made to order by a smiling Finnish lady ! The village is beautiful as well.

We came to your country our son and his wife and children and we love your village. Everyone so friendly. We love so much that we would like to live there so looking for nice home.

Our village coffee shop.Friendly and welcoming.Could do with more frequent menu changes, perhaps but good to have as a local service.

We have been to TillG's a number of times now and have never been disappointed. We usually opt for the sandwich wit trimmings, which when it arrives, is a meal in it self and very fresh and tasty. Would definitely recommend after a walk around the lovely village of Bunbury (my childhood home) pity it is on Trip Advisor as being situated in Tarporley

We called in for a snack during our Sunday ride. Really friendly staff, great coffee and cakes - everything a cyclist needs!!

We visit here regularly whilst out cycling and always have a warm welcome, great cakes and sandwiches. Today we went with some family and had a wonderful afternoon tea. It was quiet (unusually) as 4pm on a Monday. The afternoon tea was £9.50 including sandwich of your choice (so no worries about getting left with ones no-one likes), a cake of your choice (good selection and all homemade), a scone (delicious - served warm) with cream & jam and a drink. Great value, beautifully served & delicious food. The staff were fantastic, really efficient and friendly. Thank you!

This is a lovely coffee shop in the village of Bunbury - very friendly staff and great food. A very good lunchtime snack menu beautifully presented and really lovely homemade cakes & buns.Coffees are very good and I had a Baileys hot chocolate which was to die for. If you are passing near bye then Tilly's is well worth the visit

What I look out for when going out for a meal or going for a drink with a friend is good service, and good service is what I got. This petite, shabby chic dining area is perfect for any occasion, be it a hot chocolate and a catch up with your friends or a business lunch with co-workers. Keep up the good work guys, you're doing great. I highly recommend it.

We had Sunday brunch at Tilly's. It is very popular with the cycling crowd and was quite full, which meant that although our order was taken quickly, we had to wait a while for our food; the waitress did warn us about this and, as they had the Sunday papers to read and we were in no rush it was not a problem. The food was as good as you could expect from a coffee shop - good tea & coffee, fresh juice and freshly cooked breakfast using locally sourced ingredients

Lovely home cooked food in a very friendly cafe in the delightful village of Bunbury. Toasted sandwiches come with decent side salad and home made coleslaw, and make a decent meal in themselves.
