A veritable landmark in Clitheroe and for many known simply as "Swales".
This cafe holds many memories of my childhood - was the place to gather on a Saturday for ice-cream sodas - in the backroom with all your mates. (40 odd years later & it's still a popular cafe)
Lovely milky coffee with pie, peas and gravy is a favourite for many. Good selection of cakes, sandwiches and other menu items means there is something for everyone. Lot's of dining space.
Absolutely lovely. Great traditional food. Wonderful helpful friendly staff. Affordable prices. Fabulous
Although it can be nerve-wracking entering this 1970s time-warp café for the first time (especially if you don't look local and of a certain age), don't be shy: it's clean, friendly, not too expensive. The food is excellent of its kind and satisfying in an old-fashioned way. I love the old black plastic menu board on the wall with push-on white lettering, rarely seen since my childhood.
Come here for: pie and peas, perfect jacket potatoes, sandwiches, cakes, excellent fruit tart and a cup of tea.
Don't come here for: coffee (unless you like weak instant coffee).
Counter service, cash only. Expect a short queue at lunchtime, especially Saturdays.
Update Oct 2020. Now takes card payment.
What a treat on a cold wintry day. Pie peas and gravy delicious. Served by Lovely staff ! A proper cafe.
funky old style cafe. Great pie, peas and gravy. Good service and comfortable surroundings
Lovely big cafe, nicely spaced out, the food was served fast and was delicious. The staff were all lovely.
This was the first time for breakfast and it didnt disappoint, delicious bacon on brown with lovely coffee. We've been here on many previous occasions and their meat & potato pie peas and gravy is legendary. Looking forward to our next visit.
Great staff, great food and great atmosphere. Been going for decades and love it.
