Indoors or Outdoors

Palma Cafe serves a wide range of meals and snacks in their sit-down cafe with plenty of seating inside. They also do a great line in fish and chips to eat in or take away. There’s a standard take-away counter against the frying range. Plus 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

As you can see from the video, we visited on a boiling hot summer’s day. The food was freshly cooked to order and piping hot. Having asked for a small portion the quantity of food was just right and it didn’t take long for it all to disappear!

White fish with a crispy batter and fluffy chips, served with a generous portion of peas. Not greasy and no funny after taste – and didn’t leave indigestion behind afterwards!

Overall impressions are excellent, and we will be returning again. It certainly enters the Visit Fylde Coast list of go-to places to eat in Blackpool.
