    Called for a bacon sandwich and two pieces of cake I couldn't believe it was over 9 pounds the bacon wasn't cooked fresh it was burnt on the edge I think for the time it took it had been put in the microwave the cake pieces were very small for the price could of bought a full cake for what I payed definitely would not recommend

    Went in here this morning ordered a latte and cappuccino plus a beef tea cake ( which was fine) and also a cheese, onion and tomato toastie.(This was disgusting and looked more like scrambled egg) most if it was left on the plate. Should have complained as it definitely wasn't worth the money and uneatable. Just wanted to get out of there asap. Will not be visiting there again!

    I love this place! I've waited 4 years for a return visit here from Australia, and top of my list of things to do was have lunch at Merrie England! This time I had the eggs, sausage, tomatoe, with everything on a tea cake, and it was the duck's guts. The ladies working are gorgeous and the atmosphere is happy. I will definitely visit again before I leave in the next 2 weeks.

    Great Little Place. Always Packed! Waited in a Queue (Pre Covid) whilst the Partner found a Seat. Ordered 2 Tea Cakes with Tea. Very Good Price and it was a Decent Size! Tea was on the Small Side but it hit the Spot.

    Love this place. First visited when I was a small child with my grandma and we came weekly. Recently revisited after being out of the area for 15 years. More modern inside but the food and drinks still the same great quality

    We have been visiting the Merry England cafes for many years but the Halifax branch is our favourite. The staff are friendly and welcoming and the food and beverages are good quality for a reasonable price. The cafe has a traditional feel with its themed decoration which gives it a nice atmosphere.

    I've not been in many of the merrier England's, it's really nice inside good decor and nice clean and cozy. The staff were fun and friendly and they do a decent latte and slice of cake. Nicely situated in the town centre too next to the market perfect spot to stop and have a rest. I'm sure I will pop back in soon :)

    A good place to embrace yourself in a traditional way of relaxing, sipping drinks, and nibbling food with friends.
