Great hidden gem in Marsden. Well worth the visit. Polite, chatty, and extremely friendly, accomadating staff. We asked for their recommendation. Which was off the specials board. It was the chicken sop sandwich with fresh chunky chips. Mouthwatering was an understatement. An excellent choice by far. Thank you for your amazing hospitality. I will definitely recommend you to family and friends 😊 xx
The food was excellent, and the staff were helpful and friendly I would definitely recommend going to Katie's homemade kitchen
arrived 2:15pm after hiking at Marsden moor and west nab. the staff were friendly. it has free wifi. the only disable toilet was clean. the large part of menu consist of vegetarian dishes. we ordered meaty big breakfast and big vegetarian breakfast. the vegetarian breakfasts were tasty. they were values for money especially tea for three.
I have made several visits to Katie's Homemade Kitchen, usually prior to a hike over Marsden Moor. Parking in Marsden is limited to on street, so the best alternative is to park in the National Trust car park adjacent to the station, and take the short walk to Katie's, you can also access Standedge tunnel and moorland walks. As with many of the catering establishments in Marsden, Katie's is a small family run business, which is reflected in the cosy atmosphere and friendly service. The food is excellent and varied, and prepared to order, catering for all dietary requirements. Please be aware there are only a few tables, most seating four. I have been fortunate in always being accommodated, but you can book ahead. Closed Wednesday.
Great food, lovingly prepared, elegantly served. Lots of menu options for all the family including vegan, gluten free and made to order. I love the vegan deluxe hot chocolate and all day vegan breakfast in a variety of sizes. I love this place!
Visited for the first time for Sunday lunch. Had a wonderful nut roast with a variety of fresh vegetables, followed by a cherry and almond scone. They have a varied menu which includes vegan/vegetarian or meat options for most items. Loved it so much I went back the next day and had a super tasty vegan cottage pie! Highly recommended!
Such friendly staff and great vegan food choices! The breakfast was just what I needed! Homemade brown sauce and hash browns, and the toast and the mushrooms and the beans... Everything was delicious! A week later my order of Vegan Deluxe Hot Chocolate was offered to me again without the slightest hesitation and with a big knowing smile! Great service, great food!
A wonderful host in Katie. Enjoyed every minute in her cosy, eclectic cafe listening to live music on Sunday evening of the Jazz festival. Katie and her attentive team will get our appreciative support anytime we are back in Marsden.
We absolutely love eating here. The food has always been delicious from the sandwiches to the cakes. Excellent amount of food for the price too. My only complaint is that the servers can be slow to get your order and drinks but I understand the challenges. Certainly won't stop me from returning!
Lovely stop after a hike in Marsden. Menu is incredible! Very spoilt for choice, went for the vege breakfast which was sensational! Very dog friendly also. Will definitely be returning!
Lovely food, nice location. Managed to get parked nearby as soon as we got into the village. Our waitress Daisy was friendly and attended to our needs 😊
Great homemade food in a local authentic cafe. They were very attentive with my allergies and ensured I could eat everything with it risk. Good value for money too

Hmmmm..... food outstanding, 5 stars for food. Service 3.5 ish. Small place. Brilliant menu, loads for vegetarians and vegans, spoilt for choice really. Has some outdoor seating on the pavement. I was served by a young blonde lass, an unsmiling lass, not friendly or welcoming, more like a robot or someone on autopilot who didn't show much care, interest or initiative. I asked for a table for one. My first time here, so I was unaware of what their system might be. Didn't look like table service, as after some time of no one coming to take my order, and with this lass stood behind the counter, staring out the window, supping on a drink, I went to the counter to order in the end. Their hot chocolate actually comes with vegetarian friendly marshmallows, rare as hen's teeth to find them. No yukky boiled cow hoof gelatine in them! Ordered hot choc, a thirst quenching Fentimans ginger beer. Asked for the vegetable soup as my starter, and then followed by a mushroom, tomato and spinach chickpea omelette. The hot chocolate took a while and it wasn't very busy. It was lovely though, very good hot chocolate. The food took a little while and unfortunately for some unfathomable reason, two staff brought out my hot starter and hot main together....?! When I queried why had they brought both courses out simultaneously, the answer was, oh, you want them separately? Errr, yeah, cos otherwise whichever one I eat first, tother will go cold. I mean it's not exactly rocket science, eh? A bit of common sense would have gone a long way. It was obvious, as stated at the start, there was only me dining, hence asking for a "table for one". So, the next thing was my soup starter was about to get carted back to the kitchen, errr, hello?! Back to front or what? I know it would be easier to reheat soup, rather than the omelette, but that isn't the point. Soup comes first. Have to say, the soup was delicious and perfect, a very good soup. Boiling hot, like the weather, so took a while to devour. Omelette eventually came back out and rahhh, lil miss finally seemed to have found a smile from some dark drawer recess somewhere. Maybe she was new. Maybe she was shy. But she needs a bit more customer awareness and a bit of sense. An older lady (the one who had tried to carry my soup back away) did come over and ask if soup was OK. It was more than OK. I wouldn't write the place off because of one staff member, because both the menu choice/range and the food were great. Interesting, unusual wall art in the loo, a mural that looks inspired by the trees in a Dr Seuss book, liked it, it's quirky. Do go and try their food, it's great and it's a nice little café.
Lovely little dog friendly cafe with such kind staff and a great selection of meals for omnivores, veggies, and vegans. Had a delicious mini breakfast this morning with a sensational soya-based mocha. Can’t wait to go back!
The food was excellent, they do meals for meat eaters, vegetarians and vegans. Good sized plate at a good price. Tea came in a big pot and was sufficient for at least 3 cups each. Would I go back, yes.
Only had a takeaway coffee but it was good. Cafe looked great too, very popular, will try and stay a bit longer next time.
This is a wonderful cafe. Great vegan and gluten free options, and a breakfast to set you up until tea time!
If you haven't had the pleasure of going to Katie's yet you are missing out
Not only do they have the best veggie breakfast I've ever had, Katie herself is also a pillar of the community with her cooking classes and pay it forward scheme and more. So if you do one thing for yourself this week, go down to Katie's and make sure you say hi to Katie working hard in the kitchen
