Our Guestbook
“ Breakfast bap was nice. Coffee was a bit weak but froffy milk on top tasted great. Worth a visit. I was a bit too early (10am) to try the fish and chips Great location right by the beach front and lake Toilets are the public toilets block next door and cost 20p to enter. ”
“ Having a coffee and ice cream with friends and family, service food all good, smiling staff. Clean, professional great place, reasonable prices ”
“ Been here a while and it shows. Staff are lovely, but I think they are resting on the fact they have no immediate competition. Inside and outside seating, plenty of space, but sadly dated. Wouldn't take too much to make it more attractive and gain more custom. ”
“ The food was nice but extremely expensive, we had three one scoops on a single cone icecreams (because you can’t have two scoop because there’s no double scooping on can have two in a box) fish and chips, two drinks, kids sandwich box with crips and fruit shoot and it cost £38 and 30p to use the restroom. My husband ended up leaving his phone there and we had to go back the next day but I can’t thank them enough because the lady did try looking for us and even worked over it’s just that he didn’t notice for nearly an hour later that he’d lost it so he had to drive down the following day to collect it and it was still there waiting for us to come back, now I think there’s a lot of people who wouldn’t of done that especially because they would of thought us not being from there we’d not drive back (and you would know we weren’t local giving us speaking in a Birmingham accent compared to their North west accent) but either way I think some people would of claimed that they didn’t know of any phone but they really did save us a lot of money and inconvenience with their excellent service. Thank you Lakeside cafe. ”
“ Lovely cafe, family orientated, despite the lady Emma being under pressure, friendly and great coffee, fish and chips, ice cream and cakes. Fantastic treat and reasonably priced and comfortable seating and benches outside next to playpark. Toilets are behind cafe which have a small charge of 30p ”
