A new lakeside lunch spot has opened after a recent revamp and rebrand, offering hearty breakfasts and a few exotic menu items.

Cafe Twelve at Bradshaw Fisheries opened on November 1 and is open to both anglers and regular customers.

Foodies can enjoy a 'big breakfast' or 'huevos rancheros' from the haunt's balcony overlooking the fishery's lake, or inside their refurbished dining room.

Manager, Andy Ormrod, said: "We've always had a cafe on-site, but we felt like we needed to go a little more upmarket.

"So, we wanted to become a modern brunch spot for them and other customers to come to."

A full English at Cafe Twelve, costing £10, includes two of 'Grandad's sausages' two bacon rashes, two eggs, beans, tomato, mushrooms, black pudding, hash brown, and sourdough toast.

You can even have 'shakshuka', a dish originating from North Africa.

One customer said: "It's fantastic, the food is lovely, and they have kept the original spam on the menu which is great."

"Talk about food miles, the honey is from 50 yards away," Andy said.

The cafe's cherry on the cake, in Andy's opinion, are the 12 photographs lining the cafe's main dining area.

Andy explained: "They are all taken by a local photographer, and they are all of landmarks near the cafe, including the Entwistle and Wayoh reservoirs."

Joining the customers and staff is resident Polish chicken, Gina, whose portrait takes pride of place in the cafe.

Bradshaw Fisheries, just off Slack Lane, can accommodate up to 180 anglers at a time and is a popular place to fish during the summer. 

The cafe is open 8am till 4pm, Wednesday to Friday, but has plans to be open everyday come the spring.

Alcohol is also served with draught beer options available.
