Crumpets Cafe - Newton-le-Willows

OMG E.

So I came to this cafe today, unfortunately I didn’t have enough money has it’s cash only, but nether the less, the service was amazing, and the food is very tasty and very well priced.

I remember back in the day the 90s/2000 I used to come into this cafe with my grandad several times per week, the good old days and memories I treasure forever.

A BIG Thank you for the amazing service today.

I like this cafe normally. What you see is what you get. Excellent value for money. Great service. BUT today, I noticed a downward slide. There was egg yellow dried up on my table. The worse bit.... since when is it acceptable for dogs to be allowed in a cafe where food is served? Time for me to find another cafe. Dogs are a big No-No where food is served.

Finally a traditional cafe with decent food and proper prices rather than all this pretentious dross that seems to be popping up everywhere these days.

I asked for a breakfast, and a cup of tea, and I got a cracking breakfast and large mug of tea for a lot less than a tenner!

Thanks, and when i am I the area again I will be back!

Breakfast was lovely , but there was mould on the toast !
When I told them , they said it would be the heat .. and gave me some more . But that was the same. The bread they used was also frozen as the crust (that had mould on) was very powdery.
Wish I'd never gone as I found out it only had a 2 star rating for hygiene 🤢

As an advocate for the too few remaining ‘greasy spoon’ cafés, Crumpets was beyond disappointing.
Nowhere did it obviously state ‘cash only’, which would have been helpful. Also, the front window, where we sat, is obscured by a large Union flag in need of a wash with old map prints poorly affixed to it. Everywhere the ceiling is bedecked with often faded bunting. The decor is a pallid homage to jaded patriotism. The ceiling above us consisted of wooden planking, some of which was loose.
We sat at a table near the door, then I went to the counter at the rear. I waited, waited, and waited for 7 minutes. Eventually I placed an order for the special breakfast (including coffee) and bacon & sausage on toast with a coffee. On attempting to pay with a debit card I was advised “cash only”; I returned to our table to try and scrape some cash together - to no avail. I returned to the counter to ask where the nearest ATM was, and was advised to head in the direction of Herons. I successfully returned from a 0.3 mile walk with some cash.
My partner then joined a small queue at the counter, where he spent 12 minutes before being able to pay. During this time our food order arrived, he came back for his coffee to drink it whilst queuing.
My order was not as described, with no toast or jam/marmalade as indicated on the board. As for the food that was presented - it was okay apart from my partner’s toast, which seemed to have been made from out of date bread, and the cheap sausages.
Then the final coup de grâce, “Where are the toilets?” my partner asked. He was accompanied to the cafe’s front door from where a distant shop was pointed out that had such a modern facility. My partner set off only for the staff member to realise that the suggested shop was closed. Unable to attract his attention, her colleague successfully screamed (startling those in the cafe) at him to return, which he did. We left immediately, to find sanitary salvation in Tesco only 2 minutes away by car.

Genuinely, neither of us could recall a worse ‘dining’ experience. ‘Fawlty Towers Café’ might be a suitable renaming suggestion - though with an absence of humour. Just dreadful.

Popped in for breakfast, it arrived quickly, was piping hot and egg was cooked the way I'd asked for. All very tasty and great value. It was quite busy throughout our stay, but tables were quickly cleared for the next customer. Will be calling again soon

Once a week if not twice, this gorgeous cosy little cafe is the best of British, from the food (not greasy, not raw just perfect) the staff, gorgeous, courteous, and the governor is a man driven with passion. If you go please respect the elderly folk and those who come with carers. This cafe is a home from home, I and my friends are very glad to be loyal patrons.
