Description

At this restaurant, diners can expect a frustrating experience marked by limited breakfast options and disorganized service. The breakfast menu is sparse, leaving little room for dietary accommodations, with items frequently out of stock. The self-service setup adds to the confusion, as a lack of clear signage misleads customers, like the couple who learned salads require a baked potato purchase. Priced steeply for basic fare, complaints about cleanliness further mar the atmosphere, with staff behavior ranging from unkempt to indifferent. Overall, this establishment feels more like a canteen than a dining destination, leaving much to be desired.

There were not many breakfast choices available at this restaurant. I ordered a sausage sandwich, but when it didn't arrive, I had to ask the staff who knew it wasn't on the order but didn't inform me. Additionally, my boyfriend, who has celiac disease, couldn't have sandwiches made because there was no bacon left and there wasn't much variety in the options.

The café is located on the first floor, or for our American friends, on the second floor, with a beautiful view of the Lancashire countryside. The café has plenty of seating, but if it's crowded, someone from your group should grab a table first as it is self-service. The food and drinks are delicious, so after some shopping, come here to satisfy your hunger.

Rather bland and on the expensive side for a self serv cafe. Very few items priced and signage generally confusing. Couple in front of us queued for about 25 minutes to reach the salad bar only to be told they don’t serve salad !! You have to buy a baked potato before they serve you salad … madness when the overhead signs read ‘salad’ One coffee, two cans of pop, one baked potato with cheese and a bit of salad plus a small steak pie was £24 … not good value

This large café is located within the Boundary Mill shop on the edge of Colne and occupies an upstairs space with views of the surrounding hills. The coffee isn’t the best quality, but we did enjoy the free mince pies. When there are coach parties, it can get completely overwhelmed.

Poor quality and poor value for money. Vending machine coffee. Factory made sandwiches and poor choice of hot food, namely pies, sausage rolls, soup or baked potatoes. This place gets a lot of coach parties and they are a captive audience. Plenty of seating and outside balcony are the only good points.
