“Went for lunch with my friends and our 2 dogs had a lovely welcome. Toasties where gorgeous, water bowls and treats for the dogs who could ask for more.”

“Best cafe iv been to great customer service and friendly staff and amazing food especially the Turkish sausage.”

“Sent on behalf of my parents Les and June as me and my brother have already posted a review. What a truly great plaice haha everyone knows each other, service is spot on. Food is incredible, always a pleasure to dine there and Pam and Kevin know each of there customers and its like 1 big family, and they make sure everybody is well looked after. It's definitely the best chippy we've been in. Very highly recommended can't get better than the Middleton Chippy. See you all soon Les n June”

“Had some chips at the Jubille celebrations so thought we would have fish and chips Sunday night for tea. Ordered through just eat. Brilliant service. Food arrived fresh and hot. Will definitely order again. Not much open on a Sunday so great to have Mr Chips as an option.”

“Serendipitea is our local! Birthdays, anniversaries or just any excuse for a Gathering Of The Clans - we're here! This isn't just a café, it's a proper community hub. The food is fantastic quality, the staff are lovely and they take pride in serving their community and giving back. They DO cater for veggies/vegans/allergy sufferers - but their sausages are EPIC! If your dog is well-behaved, they're welcome too.”

“Had a couple of beers, great place to chill. Always friendly.”

“Really nice mixed steak box with rice and chips. Staff was really friendly. Would recommend”

We had five different meals and all were very good, we're looking forward to going back. Would definitely recommend. Well done and thank you.”

“Friendly staff and a nice traditional pub atmosphere (with a family oriented edge but still great for big kids like us too)”

“Excellent food and service. Only found this cafe today on my rounds as a carer. Sunday is a nightmare for food. Delighted. Yummy mini breakfast and latte. Great price, good food, lovely menu. Just been back, regular now. Yum YUM YUM”

“Nice friendly staff. Good selection of beers. Hope to go back in happer times!”

“Used for a working lunch, 2nd time in a couple of months. Busy as you might expect being Christmas run up but service was spot on. Food was a good standard with a varied menu. We opted for the Festive Fare Menu (but had cod) and this was served with brussels, parsnips etc., and was very nice.”

“Lovely cafe serving good coffee which beats all the major chains. Ideal for a coffee and cake or lunch”

“Great old fashioned local pub. Lovely staff and takes you back in time in a good way”

“Nice pub, good atmosphere, nice selections of beers and spirits, specially gins. Pies on offer look great”

“Sorry could not stop laughing at review stating pub was run by a horrible Tory, that could not be further than the truth.”

“I'm 62 yrs of age and been in many venues but pub is the cleanest one I have ever been in. The landlady is very friendly and the customers are too. Will definitely be going in here again”

“Lovely pub, with really lovely owners, feels very homely and welcoming ”

“Great pub, nice atmosphere and the food looks great. Limited beers as it's their own beers but there are run of the mill drinks. Nice pub to sit in on a Sunday. Had a chap playing guitar and singing, not loud but just enough. Highly recommended.”

“Best fish and chips I’ve had outside of going to a restaurant for a long time. We have an ‘award winning’ chippy closer to us but much prefer the Winton Bar. Freshly cooked fish, and you can order small fish which for me is more than enough. They lightly batter them on request and they’re cooked to perfection, nice crispy batter and lovely chips (2 small portions enough for 3 of us) not all hard and bitty like I’ve had elsewhere. Friendly staff too.”
