Review of The Village Tearoom, Wheelton, Chorley



This tearoom is perhaps more café than creative café but I think it definitely belongs in the project. The atmosphere is vibrant and the food so good that it is conducive to good conversation and a feeling of well-being.
And it is dog-friendly, which is important for many, especially as we are out in the countryside and there are some lovely walks around. I found this out as I chatted to a young lady at the next table. I’d arrived a little early for my National Women’s Register lunch and she was looking after the dog as she waited for her mother-in-law to return from the physiotherapist. Dogs anyway are great conversation starters but over and above that, this café somehow invites friendliness between customers.
National Women’s Register is an opportunity for good conversation too and this was such a good place for us to meet.
The café has an array of unusual and tasteful gifts on sale. This certainly makes it creative. 
I had their lovely special lunch – a sort of superior ploughman’s. I was intrigued to see afternoon teas being served in mini-hampers. Plenty of creative touches everywhere.

Review of The Lounge at Ramsbottom



I’ve visited this venue twice: once when we were visiting the 1940’s Weekend on the East Lancs Railway and needed a main meal and once when I was visiting Ramsbottom with my daughter and we needed an extra shot of caffeine – the breakfast coffee hadn’t quite done the trick. 

This flexibility is the main charm of the place. It currently only boasts a few Creative Café activities but it certainly provides the right atmosphere.

There are formal dining arrangements, sofas and low tables if you just want to have a cuppa and a chat or read the newspaper. There is even a bar where you can sit on a high stool and chat to the barman.
It’s the ideal place for networking, in fact. And I’m looking forward to getting across there again soon.

Review of Juniper’s Coffee Shop Chorlton



I visited this coffee shop after visiting the nearby Chorlton Book Shop. I am sure the two establishments share customers. In fact, I wasn’t the only one looking through a recently purchased book. There was a couple discussing what looked like a film script- certainly a script of some sort and another couple obviously engaged in some sort of meeting. So, definitely there are some Creative Café Project activities going on there.

The book shop holds lots of book events, so there are frequent opportunities for combining a visit to both places.

As a café in its own right it works very well. I certainly enjoyed some delicious cake and a fine pot of Earl Grey there.  All served with a smile. I shall visit again soon.

Recommended.
