They have vastly increased the area of the upstairs section and installed a very nice bistro area with diner-style seating and traditional tables/chairs.
The whole area has a light, airy feel to it and, with the views out of the upper-level windows across to the Pennine hills, is a very pleasant place to site and enjoy a meal, or just a snack or coffee.
The menu was a very pleasant surprise, offering a varied and very interesting set of choices, with a specials board to look at as well. The staff very very friendly and helpful too.
I went for the potato cakes with ham and melted cheese, a choice which proved to be absolutely perfect. Tasty, and just filling enough for what I needed that day (well, with the chunky chips it certainly was!).
There was, obviously, the need to check out the cappuccino as well. This was also a very commendable experience, nicely presented and a great mix of the strength of coffee blended with the frothy foam on top. Almost perfect!
And the two strawberry tarts were not both for me...
