A little too early arriving at our destination, and so a cup of coffee / tea was called for. We chanced upon Ayton's Cafe and Restaurant in the village of Sale Moor, just outside of Sale, Greater Manchester to be greeted by a friendly, chatty, and most amenable lady who obviously loved her job and was more than happy to help us.
They had run out of tea-cakes (a put-me-on favourite of ours), and so we tried a slice of Red Velvet cake instead. There was much hilarity had in trying to guess exactly what the ingredients of this cake were.
However, the establishment was extremely clean - their toilets were spotless and offered tissues rather than those horrid air-blast hand driers - and the service was prompt and with a genuine smile. The seating area was airy, and the tables nicely spaced; whilst some much-appreciated classical music made the perfect background whilst we watched the world pass by.
If we are ever in the area again then we would definitely patronise the cafe for lunch. They had an extensive menu, all freshly prepared, and it all seemed like excellent value for money.

I have just been in here for a late lunch after taking a wrong turn on the motorway. I had the bacon and egg barmcake, described as a small barm it was actually the same size as a small dinner plate! One of the best I've had. The cafe was very clean and the staff were most friendly. I will definitely be returning there.
