Annie Peaches Tea Room, Lamberts Mill, Rawtenstall

After a lovely walk around Clowbridge Reservoir, my wife and I stopped off at Annie Peaches tea room in Lamberts Mill, Rawtenstall (BB4 7NX) for a spot of lunch and a coffee.
It is a very well presented cafe area within a mill that sells furniture, clothing and gifts (so is worth a visit to look round the other departments as well).
They have a very high (5) hygiene rating, and the place does feel exceptionally clean, bright and airy.
The service is exceptionally good, friendly and polite, and the food looks and tastes very nice indeed.
The cappuccino (got there eventually!) is a little on the small side, but has a good amount of froth, and a good flavour. Maybe a little milky for me, but that is just a matter of taste.
Overall, the cafe is very much to be recommended, and I will certainly be going back, and recommending it.
Here are a few pics, including the Mexican Chicken sandwich that my wife ordered. Couldn't resist the array of colours, complimented by the side salad.

Bean Coffee Shop, Number One Riverside, Rochdale

Apart from being a completely state-of-the-art, environmentally-friendly, and very impressive building, the new municipal building at Number One Riverside, Rochdale, also houses a very nice new coffee shop in the Bean coffee chain.
It is very modern, fresh, bright and airy, and has a full glass wall looking out over the newly restored section of the river Roch, after which Rochdale is named.
The cappuccino was very nice, with an excellent consistency of froth, just the right amount, and a wonderful-tasting coffee underneath. So nice I just had to have seconds!
The Frappe Latte was very nice too (so I was told). And Grumpy Mule fairtrade products used too. Nice.
Well recommended place to enjoy a coffee, or whatever your taste in drinks.
