Award-winning Topaz Café in Ashton-u-Lyne has justifiably built a fantastic reputation locally and regionally. The food is sensational and the café provides a comfortable and friendly meeting place and focus for local events for the Ashton-u-Lyne community, as well as providing a gateway to our other services.
The nutritious food is the talk of the town and Head Chef Kevin and his talented and friendly team are consistently delivering high standards of menu innovation and contemporary presentation. Simply put, this is seriously good and affordable food that would give any leading veggie restaurant a run for its money. A hearty, healthy lunch is typically priced between £3 and £5 – and you’ll have had most of your 5 a day in the process! There’s also free Wi-Fi and Internet access with a few PCs dotted around for visitors to use.
What’s more, Topaz Café is run as a social enterprise which means that all our modest profits are reinvested into our other well-being services such as counselling, creative workshops, courses and activities that are helpful in building confidence and self-esteem.
Topaz Café is consistently busy Monday to Friday and we enjoy a great reputation locally. On offer is a tempting selection of innovative veggie meals , fair-trade teas, coffees and sandwiches using locally sourced or organic ingredients where possible. You can access some of our really popular recipies here.
We’re child and baby friendly too with nappy-changing facilities and high chairs available.
