Chill At The Cowshed

I was utterly enchanted by this whimsical bistro with its warm friendly staff and delightful customers of character enjoying lunch and afternoon tea. Full of shabby chic charm, was shown to a table and a basic laminated menu laid out the options. Definitely on the lighter side of lunch, but to be honest this is perfect. I had soup of the day (butternut squash & something) with a cheese sandwich on the side. The bread was thick and the cheese was a nice slice. No grated muck covered in potatoes starch here!! Random little cup of prawn cocktail crisps completed the wooden board I was served. The blonde had baked potatoes with chilli, with salad on the side. Portions were generous, the food freshly prepared, the correct temperature and genuinely tasty. Aboce average coffee served here if you are just looking for a quality coffee far superior to the bland sludge served up at Costa. The bonus at the end - we went away with two ice cream cornets, jammy dodger flavour and jaffa cake, and it was proper ice cream, not full of chemicals. Change from a twenty :) Dog friendly like many of the businesses in Horwich. Absolutely perfect spot for lunch.
