We have dined here twice when visiting our son. The staff are very welcoming and friendly. The food is excellent and we love the relaxed atmosphere. We took our son's dog and were welcomed to sit inside on our first visit. We chose to sit out the back under a covered area second time which was very calm and quiet. Many thanks, we shall return again soon.

We love coming to Oakmere Cafe! The service, food and atmosphere is always fabulous. I am gluten-free and they’re always great at catering for me. It’s also dog-friendly which is a lovely plus!

We came here twice so far. We don’t live locally but discovered it accidentally. Their coffee was amazing. Iced flat white , oat cappuccino just perfect . Second round we was hungry. I asked for lamb liver and mash. And when I tell you it was mouthwatering home cooked meal!! Even my 9 years old daughter loved it!! And the people who runs the place or work here they’re so friendly. Make you feel like you want to come back. Thank you team you’ve got an other loyal family who’ll come back on the weekends.

Lovely friendly place for a coffee, muffins and teacakes after taking the children to Oakmere Park opposite. My granddaughter was even recognised and greeted from the last time she was there with her parents. Highly recommended.
