The best restaurants serving British food in Longdendale Tameside North West

We have been coming to the cafe since we moved to the area some years ago. Back then, it was a small, fairly intimate place, with a family feel. Over the years, it has expanded and been refurbished several times. Now, it has a more detached atmosphere: the range of homemade food on the menu has shrunk considerably, almost to nil, and the prices have risen. So, will we continue to patronise it? On the basis of this visit, I am not sure. We had a salad and quiche, with a couple of drinks, for which we were charged nearly £40. That is comparable to some local gastro-pub full lunch menus and therefore probably not the best value. The garden centre is as good as ever, but I would suggest you think carefully about the cafe.

I want to say a thank you to the chef Paul who is working tonight at the mottram wood - my take home carvery was spot on. He’s more than happy to help, and nothing was too much trouble for him. X
