Indoors or Outdoors

There’s plenty of seating inside the diner – from tables for two to larger parties. There’s a mixture of different styles – square and round tables along with booths. Eat alone or with friends and family – there’s plenty of space inside. There’s also tables and chairs on the pavement around the corner plot.

Disabled Access

Ramps provide level access to the store, so is fully accessible for those with mobility requirements. Toilet facilities are located on the same floor as the cafe.

Overall

We visited just after the diner opened in early 2024. Obviously everything was brand new but also spotlessly clean. The seating arrangements are good – and the view from inside is great. Ideal for watching the world go by!

I ordered a hotdog which was excellent. A huge, juicy, authentic hotdog sausage in a soft, fresh bun. The food was freshly cooked to order and piping hot – slathered with tangy American mustard and ketchup – and very messy to eat. The fries were very good too!

Overall impressions are excellent, and we will be returning again. Especially after reading the dessert menu, most of which would go down well with a coffee. It certainly enters the Visit Fylde Coast list of go-to places to eat in Blackpool.
