The Solaris Centre

Lovely historic building built in 1941 as a winter garden and sun lounge, offering a pleasant space for patrons to relax after a round of golf on the accompaying putting green. With it's large windows overlooking the green on one side and a sea view on the other patrons were able to enjoy the seaside without having to brave weather. Originally costing £9,929 to complete, then falling into a state of disrepair over the years, today is owned by the council having undergone restoration and regeneration, we have a building housing various offices, training centre and a lovely cafe at the rear of the building.

Nice place to stop for a brew but was disappointed at lack of healthy options available. I asked for a fruit cup or a piece of fruit and was told that they don't do anything like that. I had just biked from Fleetwood to South Shore so did not want to defeat the object by having a bacon butty or cake.

Had a Scottish breakfast and it was perfectly acceptable. I've had better but also a lot worse. Prices are quite reasonable even though it's a stone's throw from the promenade. Good selection of cakes and treats and the obligatory teas and coffees. There is a park outside for the kids as well. Lovely place to go for a sit down and a bite to eat in the summertime.
