Best Bakery and Cake Shops in Stretton

"Continuing a theme of Coffee Spots in glorious Victorian shopping arcades, I present Pot Kettle Black (PKB), which has been gracing Manchester’s coffee scene since the start of October 2014. The Barton Arcade, home of PKB, is one of the most beautiful I’ve seen and PKB takes its lead from there, with gorgeous external features and some of the most ornate and sumptuous window art there is. Stepping inside, PKB is one of the most beautifully-appointed coffee shops I’ve ever visited."

"Proudly championing Antipodean coffee culture with a Northern accent, Pot Kettle Black is serving up some of the finest freshly-brewed cups of caffeine from its Barton Arcade takeout hatch in the heart of the city centre, so it couldn’t be easier to grab as you go. Barton Arcade, Deansgate, Manchester, M3 2BW. You can find more information via the PKB website here."

"Located in the beautiful Barton Arcade, you can find one of my all-time favourite coffee spots: Pot Kettle Black. They have another shop in Spinningfield, but this one is my favourite. Probably because of the beautiful interior of both the cafe and the stylish Barton Arcade."

"Head to Bold Street’s East Avenue Bakehouse for an elegant start to your day. Serving freshly baked bread, deliciously garnished porridge and some of the best eggs Benedict in the city centre, you won’t be disappointed if you pop in. For something a little different from the bog-standard Full English, try their ‘The Ultimate’ – smoked bacon lardons, Bury black pudding, plum tomatoes and sauteed mushrooms served on a home-made hunk of bread with a poached egg and lashings of hollandaise sauce."

"East Avenue Bakehouse is a kooky Bold Street eatery serving a selection of delicious homemade dishes in an unrivalled relaxed atmosphere. Every Sunday, this popular restaurant serves a traditional roast dinner using only the best local and seasonal produce from 12pm onwards. The Sunday roast is a classic with tender slices of meat, accompanied by all the trimmings and covered in lashings of gravy."

"Tuck into some freshly baked bread and own-blend coffee at Bold Street’s East Avenue Bakehouse. With the morning loafs stacked neatly in the window and some delectable bakes and cakes ready to be devoured, this is the ultimate spot to enjoy a sweet treat and a hot drink mid-way through the morning. As far as coffee shops Liverpool go, this is a local favourite."

"If you have a sweet tooth then a trip to Kin is definitely necessary. The bakehouse and kitchen on Gloucester Road boasts a wide range of freshly made cakes and desserts alongside sandwiches and brunch to go."

"Just a short tram ride away from the city centre is Slattery, the home of desserts and all things chocolate!. The Whitefield shop is full of surprises – including the Strawberry and Marshmallow Kebabs served with two chocolate pots filled with white and milk liquid Belgian chocolate – perfect for ‘dunking’ in!. Or you could really test yourself and try their Chocolate Challenge."

"Because, almost everyone who makes special ceremonies such as weddings, engagements and birthdays in Manchester has made purchases from this place. Their cakes are very famous and very delicious. There are homemade chocolates, fresh cream cakes and yummy cakes."

"Discover the fascinating history of Adlington Hall as you tour The Great Hall, the chapel, oak-panelled dining room, the Minstrel’s Gallery, the number 10 bedroom, and more. Alongside the Great Organ, visitors can enjoy the original furniture, paintings, and décor of the building, or wander the gardens, attempt the maze, or enjoy a slice of homemade cake and a cup of tea in the tea room. I Opening Times: Public open days run on Sundays and Bank Holidays during April and September."

"A tremendous mixture of styles, Adlington Hall was founded at the end of the 15th century and then reworked in the 18th century. So while the north and east facades have romantic black and white timber framing the south and west wings are brick built, with a solemn Palladian portico. Adlington is hired out for weddings, but on Sundays between April and October the house and gardens are open to visitors."

"This 13th-century church about a mile north of Macclesfield is the fourth church on this site. But what’s unusual is that the third church is still here, out among Medieval yew trees. There’s a Norman Romanesque chapel in the churchyard, dating to the 12th century, with semi-circular door and window arches and weathered but visible tympanum relief and lozenge patterns in the archivolts."

"If you're visiting with the kids or just looking to get your animal fix, the Chester Zoo is a spectacular place to spend the afternoon. A wide variety of world animals and their respective habitats are spread across the 125-acre attraction. There is also a dynamic play space, daily events, and a gift shop for souvenirs."

"Chester Zoo is one of the UK's top tourist attractions, offering a fun packed day out for everyone, no matter what age. You can see over 500 different species of animals, visit the award-winning gardens. A fantastic day out for the family."

"For any families that are animal lovers and want to experience seeing some of the most amazing creatures that walk the earth in a unique way, then Knowsley Safari Park is your answer. Driving around the park you will be up close to some of the most well-loved animals including giraffes and lions. You can also experience the park differently by heading out of your car and into the park on foot where you can enjoy the animals as well as some great attractions and things to do."

"Fun for all the family is this incredible Safari Park that’s home to over 700 world animals. Set over 550 acres, there are a number of ways to explore Knowsley Safari. The safari drive allows you to see animals in as close to natural conditions as possible."
