Tier Achieved:
Amazing food. Hygiene score you can forgive.
The food slaps and hygiene is "Good" — not perfect, but nothing to worry about. Go for it.
The Longholme is one of those places that feels like a cozy hug after a long day. With a lovely riverside view and a menu that’s more creative than your average café, it’s a solid spot for a bite. The friendly staff make you feel right at home, and let’s be honest, who doesn’t love a warm welcome? From the brie and cranberry ciabatta to the Longholme hash, it’s clear they care about what they’re putting out.
But, not everything is perfect. Some dishes, like the turkey bacon toastie, might leave you feeling a bit let down. Still, the overall atmosphere and the scenic views make it a nice place to unwind. It’s worth stopping by, especially if you're after a relaxed meal with decent food in a charming setting. 🍽️
