The Hearth Cafe

On our return journey home to St Helens we were looking for somewhere to stop and have breakfast that catered for my wife who is coeliac and needs gluten-free options. Well this place is perfect, just 2 minutes off the A69, with parking at the rear or on the main road. It’s a quiet village so no problem parking. However you may need to book in advance as this place is popular, and no wonder. What made our visit all the more pleasant was the people, not just the staff, also the locals, especially Gladys and Nellie, and they were just two dogs on the next table (adorable Cocker-poo’s) their owners were equally as nice and have to mention Billy another lovely local guy. Anyway, we had two full breakfasts, my wife had gluten-free toast and sausage and have to say it was beautiful. There was also a selection of gluten-free cakes available (if you just wanted a cake and a brew after a walk), we decided to take two slice of the gluten-free lemon drizzle cake home in a box, which I’ve just finished and was equally as tasty. The perfect end to a great weekend (hello to the two lovely ladies we may see you camping one day) and thank you to all at the Hearth Cafe ❤️

Excellent village cafe serving delicious snacks, hot food and drinks. Went for breakfast on Saturday morning and were looked after by the friendly staff. Vegetarian and gluten free options plus catering for different dietary requirements. Lovely atmosphere with terrific scran, well worth a visit.
