The Concept Cafe is within the Hollies Farm shop. We called for lunch and found it surprisingly busy for a Tuesday with a nice atmosphere. Tables are not too close together and service was exceptionally friendly yet still efficient. We chose two of the pies form the main menu, cheese and onion and steak and onion. Both were served with home-made chips (which did actually look and taste home-made) and also sausage and mash dish with a rich gravy. The food took a little while to come out (which the menu points out may be the case as its cooked to order) but we enjoyed good coffee while we waited. Portions are not huge but are perfect for lunch. The meals were tasty and good quality, no complai...
After feeling the service was a bit slow on our last visit we did,however, return and normal service was resumed. At 8.30am it was not very busy and the staff were friendly (as always) and attentive. We had a breakfast wrap, bacon sandwich (treacle bacon always delicious), poached eggs on toast, and a toasted teacake plus hot drinks and an orange juice (juicer for fresh broken but not a problem). The wrap and bacon sandwich were enhanced by mushrooms and half a tomato and the toasted teacake got the full berries and fruit coulis zigzag which was novel.All delicious, comfortable and friendly.
After traveling across Cheshire to visit some local gardens, we stumbled upon this farm shop cafe that was anything but average. Despite a bit of a wait for our food, we were not disappointed with the fantastic coffee and delicious meals that greeted us. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and though there were a few missing items in our order, the food was still tasty. One member of our group found the Hollins Rarebit a bit too sweet for their liking, but there was plenty of it to enjoy. We also had to make a stop at the shop to purchase the biscuits that came with our coffee.
I used to frequent this restaurant often and found it to be pleasant. However, the quality of service has been declining lately. Furthermore, on my last two visits, my dining experience was ruined by flies buzzing around. I initially brushed it off as a one-time occurrence, but after encountering the same issue on a Sunday, I have decided not to dine there again. Paying nearly £10 for a jacket potato, I expect to enjoy my meal without constantly having to swat away flies.

The cafe at this location offers a good selection of items from their adjoining farm shop. It is conveniently located near a motorway junction. The service is friendly and efficient. However, the menu is quite limited. Our meal was average at best. The meat pie lacked a good pastry and the fish cakes were bland, but saved by a nondescript sauce. The prices are slightly high, but the ambiance is pleasant.
As always the food is of a high quality. My steak pie was lovely as was the quiche and the rarebit. Food is always consistent but the added bonus are the ladies serving. They are delightful and nothing is too much trouble.
The food is really first class as are the staff. It is always popular but you can walk around the shop while a table becomes vacant. There are lots of food and gifts to explore.
Clean and friendly farm shop cafe. Above average food choices and above average prices. The Hollies is definitely worth a visit but is not cheap.
