The Butcher's Kitchen

If you're knocking about Birkdale Village and fancy a bite, The Butcher's Kitchen is a solid shout. It's got a 4.5 star rating from 74 reviews, so it's clearly doing something right. It's owned by Holmes & Smith Butchers, so you know the meat's decent.

It's more of a cafe than a full-on restaurant, so better for a quick stop than a long lunch. They do a good range of sandwiches, breakfasts and light bites. Cakes are usually on offer, and they do a proper coffee, which is always a bonus. It's not a bad shout for a rainy day pit-stop, either.

They're open every day from 8am to 3pm, except for Fridays when they stay open until 9pm. You can find them in Birkdale Village. Give them a ring on 01704 525045 if you need to.

Worth noting that Birkdale Village parking can be a pain on weekends, so factor that in.
