If you are driving, just pop down the A6 for 10 mins to Blackrod at The Cherry Tree. Heard others talk about it and not tried it till recently. It’s absolutely fantastic. The food, the setting, the staff, the hospitality - it really is a proper treat, she’ll feel a million dollars there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevieb Posted May 29, 2023 Share Posted May 29, 2023 Cafe Italia is nice. I'd personally go cherry tree or ewe though. Though if she's 101 she won't give a fuck where she's at and just be happy to out! Be reet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm taking her for lunch on Wednesday, because I'm swerving the weekend family meal/get-together. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tipico in H-Town is better than both of them for steaks. Cafe Italian beats them all for me….value, quality and all round how relaxing and down to earth the place is…wins hands down. Take my mum quite often, and every time it hits. Edited May 29, 2023 by Pablo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Underpants Posted May 30, 2023 Share Posted May 30, 2023 Being taken out by family out trumps where they eat. Nans would love nothing more than simple food with kin. Curleys Dinning Rooms tick all the nan boxes. Money isn't everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Traf Posted May 31, 2023 Author Share Posted May 31, 2023 Had a chat with her, she chose Bradley Fold Garden Centre of all places, because apparently "they do a lovely afternoon tea" And indeed they did. And at £10/head, my pocket loved her choice 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
