Cafés · Tarporley
Handy stop-off if you're driving through Cheshire with a car full of hungry children — free parking right outside, a buggy-friendly way in, and both indoor and outdoor tables so you can pick whichever suits the mood. It's attached to a working cheese factory and farm shop, so there's plenty to look at while you wait, and the wait tends to be short: families passing through mention friendly, quick service and food that arrives properly cooked. Breakfast is the big draw, though it can be hit and miss — some rave about it, others less so — while omelettes, home-cooked plates and the milkshakes (one parent describes one as "a meal in itself") get consistent praise. High chairs, a kids' menu and vegan options are all sorted. Staff will help with a quiet corner table if you ask when booking.
