Odessa: Reviews & Ratings
We visited the place while in Bolton for the Right to Roam festival. While having breakfast in the place, we decided to come back later for some "packed lunch" for the evening and the journey home - this should already give you an idea that the food is delicious. We did indeed return and armed ourselves with a hot pork and stuffing barm (bread roll for you not from the north of England), and a ploughman's. The guy serving us was so enthusiastic about the food, it was a joy to be served by him, and the grub didn't disappoint either! Ploughman's is yet to be eaten, but the bap was gorgeous. I mean, Bolton is what it is, but this place is a little gem, worth a visit!
First time eating english breakfast. It was lovely. Eggs with cheese, sausage and mushrooms go so nice with beans and toast.
Great cafe, wide selection of food, friendly staff, swift service, reasonable prices. Popular at lunch (but not too busy!) for a reason. Recommended.
Lovely place to stop for refreshments outside seating and staff are great
Busy little cafe/deli... great food and excellent service. After my own visit, i can clearly see why this is a popular spot, both for sit in and passing trade.
A traditional British cafe with an excellent choice of tasty food. I had a bacon, sausage and cheese barm, my taste buds thought it was their birthday! Quality tasty food at very reasonable prices.
Now I have been coming to this cafe for absolute years, not just because it’s handy as right in the town Centre but also because of the incredible food they provide wonderful range for any taste whether you want to go in for a simple salad, fry up, tatty hash, chilli buttys or even as I’ve just had the brand-new beef brisket with barbecue sauce! Fry ups are absolutely amazing and it really is one of the gems of Bolton town Centre ! Very comfortable cozy cafe the staff are incredible very friendly, helpful wonderful and it’s such a homely feeling every single time i come and I guarantee I’m not the only person that feels that! Wouldn’t be a review about this wonderful place without a reminder as well that they provide a fantastic buffet/catering service which I’ve also had the pleasure of digging into that many weddings that I have covered as a photographer over the past 10 years! I would literally eat it every single day if I lived or worked in the town centre! Anyone looking for somewhere to grab a brew? Have a catch up with the girls or guys fill their bellies or book a buffet needs to come here!!!!! Can’t believe ive not actually left this review before now because normally I’m always one to big up a business call it’s just completely skipped my mind to actually post one because it’s such a big part of my weekly pattern to just pop in and have something to eat and go home but here’s my review finally!!!! Just had the newest dish today beef brisket with barbecue sauce and wedges and as delicious as everything is always when I eat here this hands down is the best thing I’ve had from here !!!!!!!!!!
Really delicious sandwiches, I got the cajun chicken barm, it was freshly made and really friendly service too. Highly recommend for a nice lunch
