Meadow Lea Farm Cafe in Cheshire West and Chester

Lovely place to either grab a coffee, possibly with a delicious slice of cake or a full blown meal. Whatever I have had has been delicious and served by a friendly face.

Called in on Saturday lunchtime, first time I'd been there, but had gone past several times and always seemed to be busy. Very popular. Got tables inside and out. Good menu, from all day breakfast including vegetarian. Toasties, wraps, jacket spuds, egg on toast, and cake, teas & coffee. Open 9 til 4. Well worth a visit or two.

Popped in for an ice cream. I think we called at a bad time. We were ignored by staff whilst loitering by the ice cream freezer.Thinking we must be supposed to go to the till to order we went there. A server concentrated very hard on making the two hot drinks in front of them and didn’t have the common courtesy to look up, smile (or not) and say I’ll be with you as soon as I’ve done this.A different server put some dirty plates down and asked if they could help. We asked for a tub of chocolate ice cream to take away instead of eating in.

First time visit and it will take a lot of convincing too go back.A busy day and staff, whilst friendly, were clearly overwhelmed with tabled left uncleared. Having ordered a breakfast and coffee I had to chase my food order 45 minutes later to find I'd had been forgotten. I appreciate mistakes are made and the staff were apologetic. However the breakfast I then received was clearly a rushed attempt to just get an order out. The fried egg appeared as if it had been left on the side for an hour, rubbery and with a plastic like skin. The sausages appeared fried on one side then placed in a microwave or under a heat lamb to rush the order, baked beans had hardened whilst the tomato was warm but uncooked.An order slipping through the ticket system is understandable, it happens, but then to provide something of such poor quality... unbelievably disappointed and for the price terrible value.

This place is a regular haunt for me because the character, staff and food are so welcoming.The place is modern well laid out and easy to find.Just had another piping hot large cappuccino (not made in a rush) and and a good piece of chocolate cake. (Supplies available by wall) nicely filled.Was able to use one of the loos without problem.Staff are always good for polite casual chat.

First time here. Large coffee shop, popular with dog walkers and cyclists. Had bacon roll and coffee. Bacon was hard and coffee was tasteless. Coffee for me is the main thing and this was disappointing. On this basis we wouldn't return.

Lovely place. Food great. Gets very busy weekends as popular with cyclists. Service can be slow

So much potential. Nice location, clean and modern building, friendly staff, great cakes, decent coffee.Service lacking at times, don't clear plates quick enough off outside tables (even when food brought out), food possibly cheaply purchased as the quality of sausages and other items often very poor. Could do with a professional chef doing some consultancy to educate kitchen staff. So many similar places have great food but the mains here are bang average.For the price it's not bad but a local competitor could easily do a better job and take customers elsewhere. For example the pub in Guilden Sutton has far superior food and may be open more often in the daytime in the future.

Nice cafe but painfully slow service, half an hour for some cakes and hot drinks. I feel this is a management/leadership issue as I have been served much more quickly elsewhere. Lots of dirty crockery piled up on tables too.

Lovely café- one of the best bacon rolls I've ever had, and coffee is delicious too! Plenty of space inside and outside and staff were very friendly and service was fast. Though do note it is a working farm so expect a few farm smells - but all part of the atmosphere!
