Lovely food, I would ignore the comments from negative people who are obviously jellyfish clients trying to bring you down. You have repeat customers and that speaks volumes. Clearly you have rattled their cage. Keep up the good food, hard work and excellent afternoon teas you supply.

Myself and my husband came here to a lovely friendly cafe for our Sunday dinner. We had the lamb and beef dinners which we would highly recommend. Followed by their Manchester tart which was delicious. The staff were very friendly and welcoming. Will come here again.

We’ve visited Goochie’s a few times and not once have we had a bad meal, the food is cooked fresh and is absolutely delicious too! ALL staff are friendly, welcoming and go above and beyond. A lovely family-run business offering takeaway and eat-in meals for very good value.
