While
out
cycling
with
a
friend,
we
ended
up
going
through
Knutsford,
and
it
was
time
for
our
obligatory
cafe
stop.
My
friend
had
never
been
to
the
Penny
Fathing
Museum
at
the
Courtyard
Coffe
House.
We
were
very
disappointed
upon
arrival
to
find
they
have
removed
all
the
Penny
Farthings.
While
we
were
there,
we
thought
we
might
as
well
stop
for
cakes
and
drinks.
The
staff
were
very
friendly
and
we
were
shown
to
a
table
inside
as
they
didn't
have
any
tables
outside.
I
ordered
a
slice
of
Pecan
Pie,
which
was
very
nice.
However,
at
£4.95
a
little
on
the
expensive
side.
I
think
the
coffee
I
ordered
came
to
£3.20
and
although
it
was
a
good
coffee,
the
size
of
the
cup
for
£3.20
was
way
too
small.
I
questioned
a
staff
member
about
the
size
of
the
cup
as
to
me
it
was
a
small
cup.
The
response
was
that
they
only
had
one
size.
She
did
ask
if
I
wanted
another
one.
At
£3.20,
I
respectfully
declined.
My
friend
ordered
a
scone
with
a
cup
of
tea.
The
scone
came
with
currents
in.
Unfortunately,
he
doesn't
eat
currents,
and
they
didn't
have
any
plain
ones.
There
was
no
problem
swoping
the
scone
for
a
cake.
So
the
bill
came
to
£16.95.
I
don't
know
if
this
is
a
normal
price
for
Knutsford
Town
Centre.
It's
certainly
not
the
normal
prices
we
pay
when
we
visit
the
many
cafes
on
our
cycling
days
out.
There
were
a
few
people
having
lunch,
and
to
be
honest,
the
food
I
saw
looked
very
good.
Before
we
left,
I
asked
a
member
of
staff
if
the
Coffee
House
had
changed
ownership
as
the
Penny
Fathings
had
been
removed.
The
response
was
that
it
hadn't
just
that
the
Penny
Fathings
had
been
gathering
a
lot
of
dust
and
bringing
paint
off
the
walls.
The
place
does
look
a
lot
bright
inside
now.
However,
for
me,
it
has
lost
that
uniqueness
it
had,
and
as
a
result,
I
will
not
be
visiting
again
or
recommending
the
Courtyard
Coffee
House
to
my
cycling
friends
anymore.
If
you
do
decide
to
visit,
make
sure
you
have
a
card
with
you
as
they
do
not
accept
cash
payments.
