A Pavilion Café regularA lovely little café situated in Walkden Park. A lovely place to meet for coffee with a wide range of snacks including gluten free cookies. There's a big freezer with a large choice of ice lollipops and there's even dog biscuits available for your four legged friends. There's a couple of shelves which stock things for the kiddies, such as footballs, bubbles etc. Leanne does a wonderful job. She never seems to stop. She greets each and every customer as though they're good friends or long lost family, no matter how busy she is. Service with a smile (and usually a giggle) seems to be her trademark.
The café is fully accessible, clean and bright with clean toilets too. A lovely friendly atmosphere in this community café which I enjoy popping into from time to time on my way to work.
