"Arrived not really knowing what to expect but chose this inn for its location as we planned visits to friends and family nearby. What a great decision it was to stay here. We were immediately welcomed by friendly staff. The inn serves excellent beer (Timothy Taylor’s which was our first pleasant discovery. The first night we also discovered what excellent food was served with imaginative touches to traditional dishes from the chef. Breakfast was equally great with very generous proportions. The inn was kept very busy with diners at lunchtime and in the evenings (certainly at the weekend and the six available guest rooms seemed fully occupied. We were glad we booked some time in advance for the four nights we stayed. So booking is recommended for diners, and early booking for overnight guests its certainly worth it. All the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly, no matter how busy they were. All brilliant at multi tasking! The food on our other evenings did not disappoint, and breakfast was consistently good. The only slight drawback was an intermittent wifi but this certainly would not deter us from a repeat visit. As an added bonus we were able to top up charge our EV using a standard domestic socket outside the garage (where there was ample parking . Very slow charge but a boon before we set off again on a long trip when we left. (So if you drive an EV do pack an domestic supply three pin plug converter. Thank you to Jayne and all the staff for making our stay so great!"

"Went to The Secret Cafe today as it has been quite some time since we were last there. My Mrs had been browsing on Her Chromebook and some review came up about The Secret Cafe and She said was it the same one we had visited some time ago and if so, we need to go again and check it out. The weather today was quite wet and Her indoors suggested we might go today for a bit of lunch so we left a damp Wyke and went over to a very wet Luddenden Foot to pay them a visit. I had already checked the Menu out online and had decided I was going to have the Beef Chilli with chips and a pitta bread, however when we got there the lady that came to serve us pointed out the Specials menu and I clocked the Gammon, Eggs and Chips with Mushrooms and Tomato, so immediately changed my mind (as I am quite partial to a bit of Gammon). Sorry to be boring but we both ended up with the Gammon and two pot of tea. While we were waiting I was watching some of the items coming from the kitchen and said to the Mrs I haven 't seen anything small come out of there yet A full English Breakfast past, flippin 'eck and then a couple of rather large sandwiches in large teacakes and some baked potatoes with ample fillings past our table so I had a pretty good idea what to expect and I wasn 't disappointed. A young woman brought our tea 's and after a while brought the lunch plate which consisted of a nice piece of grilled Gammon a good portion of chips, topped with two fried eggs two large slices of grilled tomato and a good helping of mushrooms. Gammon was properly grilled, the chips were delicious, fried eggs were fresh (the whites were almost meaty, that 's when you know the eggs are fresh and the yolks still liquid, perfect) and a good portion of sweet mushrooms, what 's not to like there. Both of us were highly delighted with our food and enough tea for two and a half cups each, perfect lunch. Lunch for two of us cost 22.00 which included the two pots of tea. Bargain!! The place was quite busy (I 'm not really surprised) however I was surprised at the reasonable prices and quality of the food, so keep it up Guys, you are doing it right. Lastly the staff were pleasant and helpful and on a final note we are going to have to go back to try the Chilli and one or both of the night do 's. It could be Pie Night or the Gourmet Evening possibly even both, so watch for the next review. Thank You to all at The Secret Cafe, the secret 's out"
