Uk foodie in Hale

“Lovely restaurant- really well prepared, thoughtfully cooked food. I’ve been twice now in August 2022, the quality is consistent - really nice taste to everything. Just a little pricey (it is Hale I suppose).”

“Our very favourite curry takeaway kitchen, and we've tried many. They are takeaway only - not torn between serving in-house and takeaway customers, and it shows in the quality of the food and speed of service.”

“Firstly I think it’s important to note this is a cafe that is connected to a family support centre and counselling service. It’s cheap and it is supposed to be somewhere accessible for people who access the services next door, as well as for anybody who uses the park. I actually came here not because of this but because I had attended a baby class in the adjoining room, so my friend and I had coffee and cake here. It’s a great little place, so cheap and the staff are friendly too. There’s a seating area outside as well for warmer days. It’s a lovely little cafe if you’ve had a walk in the park or want to meet a friend with your little ones. They also offer a range of food and I’ve-cream in summer, but we always went primarily for coffee and cake, both of which were always spot on. We used to go here every week after baby classes, and will continue to do so after Covid. This cafe definitely deserves our support so that it stays open in the future.”

“Best shop in Hale, very helpful & knowledgeable staff. Great tastings too”

“The food surpassed our expectations and the staff were helpful and attentive. The seafood platter was the standout dish for us - definitely worth a visit. Lovely atmosphere too.”

“Wonderful service and brilliant food. I'm vegetarian and there was plenty for me to choose from across mains and starters. The staff were all extremely friendly and accommodating. Can't wait to return!”

“Popped in to use the bar as we were waiting for teens to finish a birthday meal across the road. There was nowhere open to grab a coffee at 6.30pm on a snowy December eve. Although we were not dining in we were welcomed as any guest and the service was excellent even if it was for only 2 coffees and a beer. We are looking forward to coming back for a meal soon. Thankyou.”

“I have to say I love this place, from the AMAZING banana bread to the healthy feel good juices! Also if your lucky enough to qualify for the delivery service they couldn't be more helpful, I called up the other night at 10pm to leave a voicemail to ask for a change to my delivery & Chris answered, I had to go away early the next morning so he said he would try his best to get them to me before I left & he did! Thanks Chris your a star!!”

“GupShup is a rather special restaurant,the dishes are spiced so cleverly,full of flavours that excite your taste buds, you may not see your favourite curry on the menu here but don't worry the wonderful staff will guide you to a dish that delights !.”

“What a lovely restaurant. I went with the In Laws so we had a table of 4. Service was exceptional and they couldn’t do enough for you. Drinks came quick and they were always asking if we are ok. The interior was lovely and a chilled vibe to the place. Having never had Sri Lankan food I didn’t know what to expect. It’s kinda like Indian but more spicier so be prepared. We really enjoyed it. Will go again very soon and will look to see if they do take out because I would prefer it to an Indian on a Saturday night at home. This restaurant was a very welcome surprise you won’t be disappointed.”

“Great English breakfast. Good bread, good scrumbled eggs, delicious bacon.”

“We were booked in to meet relatives for lunch. They were travelling and were massively late. La Famiglia couldn't have been nicer or more accommodating. They kept our booth for us for the afternoon and wouldn't take payment for the drink we had whilst waiting until we returned later and they put it on the final bill. The service and food was fabulous when the family finally arrived. 100% will be going back.”

“Absolutely wonderful café. Food is delicious, portions really generous, prices very good. Definitely recommend to anyone.”

“Absolutely brilliant restaurant Sorrentino been quite a few times food is absolutely amazing by far the best can Carlos in the country keep up the good work some compliments to the chef”

“Good shop & reasonable price”

“I’ve always been one of those difficult coffee customers who wants his flat white exactly as it should be, as if made by an Australian or a kiwi at some fancy place London and it’s always disappointing. However costa coffee in hale village not only make a consistently five star flat white but they do it with joy! Thank you.”

“Capuchin, a delightful friendly addition to our café society. Friendly, relaxed atmosphere - great coffee - young and enthusiastic owners!”
