"We came across this rather charming cafe whilst venturing the streets of Knutsford early one morning. The cafe looked impressive upon initial glance from the outside, whilst inside very clean. We were greeted quickly, seated immediately and the owner came back with our menus. We noticed there was also an upstairs area so in essence it was a decent size for a cafe. The place opens everyday, 8.45am 5.pm The postcode of the cafe is WA16 6ED, It was difficult to park outside but there was a car park on Malt Street, just around the corner, WA16 6DX. Toilets were upstairs, scrupulously clean. We ordered the Eggs Benedict which was priced at £10.00 the Omelette priced at £10.80 both decent value as both meals were delicious. The only critique was on our time here we encountered loud and boisterous fellow diners who seemed not to care about keeping the voices down which made it difficult to hear your own conversations. This is not the fault of the cafe, just unfortunate, that said, the cafe does have an open plan kitchen and the noise which comes from the kitchen was what sounded like continuous banging of pans etc, this could be easily rectified if the placed doors onto the kitchen to minimise the noise entering the dining area. All in all, a lovely cafe, decent value, superb food cooked to perfection, fresh ingredients and an extensive menu range, We will definitely come here again when next visiting the North West."

"Kids food quality and portion sizes all good, but as for the adult cheese pie with mash/chips/fries and veg what came out of the 1/3 filled pies was very runny cheesy liquid with a few small chunks of potato. The veg was a tiny serving of cabbage (nice but tiny) and the fries were ok but slightly under cooked and again a tiny portion. Third time we’ve been here and really not sure what went wrong, compared to both previous visits, which we both 4+ stars. Maybe it was the fact is was 4pm on a Friday and not a Sunday. Oh well!!! Vegetarian options: Avoid cheese pie at all costs. Kid-friendliness: All good and welcoming."

"Stopped here for a weekend lunch with a friend. The place was bedlam but a wonderful kind of bedlam. There were thousands (YES thousands) of bikes in the carpark and I felt underdressed as I seemed to be the only one not in fancy dress! The place was packed to the gunwales and so was all of the grass and the outdoor seating. we were lucky enough to be seated indoors just prior to the hoards arriving. We ordered food which came very promptly and was of excellent quality. once we had consumed our mains and even after the place exploded with so many people, the service for desert was still good, despite the bar being six to eight people deep! I cannot imagine this to be a typical weekend for this establishment but if they can cope so very well with this astonishing event, a quiet meal here must be easy peasy for them. Well Done we are eager to come back and maybe see you in quieter times."

"I visited The Railway Inn with 14 others for a Sunday lunch a few days ago. We rarely see one another so it was an occasion for us all. I was immediately greeted by frowns and cold shoulders at the bar when ordering drinks. I let it go. We all have bad days. We then sat for our meals. I had the Beef Dinner. The beef was dry and tough and swamped in a tasteless beige gravy that was literally dribbling off the edges of the plate. It was, sadly, the worst Sunday Lunch I've had. Still, I didn't want to spoil the occasion. When the meal was finished we wanted to sit outside in the large garden. We asked and was given rolled-eyes from the waitress who seemed irritated at our wish to go sit in the sun. Ooookay. I then went back to the bar to order another drink and heard three members of staff, including the very rude and flat-out obnoxious lady pulling pints, moaning loudly about having to sweep the floor near the high-chair we had at our table. The high-chair, of course, had a little toddler in it, and she sadly dropped a few crumbs. How dare she!? Well, they weren't happy. This was an appalling experience from beginning to end. I'm no stranger to poor service. It's a common occurrence, but I think this might just be the worst I've encountered in a long, long time. Food was bad. Service was horrendous. We spent around £350 in food and drinks here on this afternoon, and I wish we'd gone somewhere else. All 15 of us will refrain from visiting this location again, and we urge anyone else considering a nice meal out to find somewhere else to go and enjoy. The beer garden here is a sizeable one, but it isn't worth the rest of the awful stuff just to enjoy a table in a field."
