Time For Mezze in Chorley

We visited Salt and Shine the new Thyme for Meze. We were seated upstairs which was fine, but cold in a Feb lunch time in Chorley. Bizzare that you are seated then have to go to the bar to order, is this a restaurant or a cafe? The food was great, we had white wine, but no bottle chiller, maybe that is why the place was cold! Not expensive and would return, but some easy wins for this new venture, I hope you make the little improvements as could see you as a big hit.

We visited for an impromptu lunch; we had a great welcome in a pleasant environment and fabulous food. We will be back to try out the evening menu. The range of vegetarian options makes it a great place to visit with our veggie friends and family

This is a new and welcome addition to a Chorley dining scene, which is somewhat lacking. (Lots of great pubs, but not that many independent eateries). Note: this restaurant is on Cleveland St, opposite the Flat Iron pub, not on Farrington St; so is actually an existing business, that has moved from a small cafe, into much bigger premises. Hopefully it will be a successful venture, as it deserves to be. The restaurant itself is quite big and tastefully decorated. It is dog friendly and has a nice casual ambiance. Now to the menu: Like a lot of places these days, they have gone down the “small plates” route. A kind of British version of tapas. Unfortunately, the menu is quite small, (unlike traditional Spanish tapas eateries) and is dominated by various dips/pita breads. But, the quality of the homemade food is exceptional. The Greek style ribs were delicious, with plenty of very tasty meat; but cramming them onto a “small plate” doesn’t really do them justice. Please, just huge a slightly bigger plate, and maybe put a carrot or 2 on the side. They will then easily justify the £13 price. My partner is vegetarian and, other than the dips and a few vegetable side dishes, there wasn’t a great deal to choose from. She ended up having the carrot dish, but it really was more like a side dish and was a bit lacking in presence; though was very tasty. There were a few minor teething problems: there were no croquettes available, which, considering it’s a small menu anyway, shouldn’t occur. And there was no Chain House beer on tap. But I think that was due to the brewery not delivering on time. There is great potential here and the owner/chef is obviously talented. Maybe just a few tweaks to the menu will take it to another level and reach the potential it obviously has.

Brilliant Mediterranean food, great for vegans. Love the cosy atmosphere and the staff are lovely. Would highly recommend.

An absolutely delightful array of gorgeous Mediterranean food. Wonderful and attentive staff. Perfect little spot! I can't wait to go back again. But, with living 100 miles away, it can't come soon enough.

I love this place for lunch , dinner or coffee and treats in the morning. The food never fails to be fresh and tasty. Everything is home made from the bread to the soup, nothing frozen all dazzling flavours. The service is efficient and friendly.

I visited here for the first time last week for the set menu dinner. The food was delicious and nicely presented. It won't be my last visit, we thoroughly enjoyed it.

Once again an amazing lunch. The food was so fresh and delicious. Attentive service and a lovely atmosphere. People need to go.

I am lucky enough to work round the corner from Time for Mezze so have had takeaway lunch from there a couple of times and it's been delicious. Tonight I have been for the first time in the evening for the set menu and absolutely loved it. £20 per person and BYO. We had the amazing homemade pitta breads with whipped feta dip and harrisa hummus. Then roasted aubergine on butterbean mash - a revelation! Followed by beef stifado with potatoes and feta and an amazing kale salad. Everything is so fresh, tasty and a lovely friendly atmosphere and staff. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Having loved the delivery meals that Jess used to do and having a lovely takeaway from the restaurant, we finally got around actually eating in! I can't say how amazing the food is; so fresh and tasty. We had the soup with pitta cheese toasties and the mezze plate; every single thing was fantastic. The staff are incredibly friendly too. If you want incredible food and incredible value for money pay a visit to Time for Mezze.

Absolutely delicious and healthy. Excellent service. Can’t wait to go again, it was right up our street.

Lovely evening with my friend for the sharing platter, very good value for money, lovely fresh well made food, the whipped feta was absolutely delicious. Flat breads were gorgeous and plentiful (we had 3 portions). Lovely cosy atmosphere. Highly recommended.

This small cafe behind the Town Hall provided a pleasant refuge for lunch on a miserable rainy day in Chorley. The menu was short (always a good sign) and the staff friendly. There was choice for vegetarians (I had a tasty Turkish style cauliflower dish) and my other half had the hot chicken dish. This came with pitta bread, a choice of hummus and of salads and sauces; all with excellent flavours. Our plates were piled high and we couldn't finish it all. Smaller cheaper options are available. The choices ensure that a return visit will enable us to ring the changes. The cafe doesn't have a coffee machine (yet) so a cappuccino wasn't available. We managed to park in the adjacent carpark.

I was a huge fan of TFM food when Jess did boxes from home, so I was thrilled when she opened this stunning eatery allowing me access to her food more regularly. It’s spotlessly clean and beautifully decorated. I’ve had lunches, takeaways and the evening set menu with friends and every single time the food has been amazing. Jess and her staff are so lovely and helpful and are always happy to make adjustments where possible. I just love it and I’m sure you would too.

Lovely cosy restaurant with inside or outside seating. Perfect location in chorley for shopping or a trip to the park, parking very close by. The food in Timeformezze is lovely with a special touch, lots of choices to choose from for a light bite or a larger meal. They slso offer take out boxes if you fancy a walk around the park. The staff are very friendly and offer an excellent service. I can highly recommend, you won't be disappointed.

A lovely little cafe. A selection of dips , salads and homemade flat bread to die for. Run by a wonderful team. Highly recommended.

My recent visit to "Time for Mezze" was a truly delightful experience. The staff was warm and attentive, and the food was incredibly flavourful. The Mediterranean decor added to the peaceful ambiance. What stood out was the excellent value for money. They also welcome dogs, and their vegan options were impressive. I highly recommend this place for a great meal.

I decided to pop in here after hearing about it on Instagram - I was glad I did! The quality of the bread was immeasurable, with a beautifully creamy hummus and significant depth to the mediterranean flavours. 100% worth a visit.

Wow this little restaurant is fantastic. Nice weather today so we sat in the small garden area. Lovely. Lovely Mezze plate, with pita, and it was delicious. Varied and interesting salads, and our plates had pulled chicken on. I’ve sometimes had pulled chicken which was over cooked, but not this. Moist and well seasoned. On Thursdays they do an evening service with what looks like a great menu, and you can take your own wine. We will certainly be doing that soon. Great parking right next to the restaurant is also a plus. Just book it because you won’t be disappointed!

The staff are all really friendly and the food is delicious. We all had different items off the menu and you couldn’t fault any of it. All cooked in an open kitchen. Really worth looking up this restaurant Also easy parking next to restaurant
