XLII Cafe

Nice bar / cafe in Ramsbottom, very cosy and friendly with great service. I didn't eat here, just had a couple of drinks and it was a very pleasant place to spend an hour or two.

Very friendly owner we only visited as it opened so had a lovely chat. Would love to go back soon as there's live music.

Susan is a great host wonderful querkey place
Loved it very welcoming so nice to see her and Anthony after many years keep up your good work love u lots

Nice place leather benches however very worn and could do with a refurb.

Used to be a friendly place but the ownership attitude is very off putting asking customers to do unreasonable things after they are served ‘or leave’.

Drinks were nice but the staff were a little rude and laughed when we ordered. We brushed that off but then the bouncer was incredibly rude and kept staring at us. Finally a member of staff moved a candle which lead to the hot wax falling on my legs. Considering the price of the drinks compared to much nicer places in rammy, it’s not as great a place as I was recommended.

Drinks were nice, service was poor and staff were slightly patronising. Laughed at us when ordering drinks, spilled candle wax on my friend and offered no apologies; just looked at her! Despite having a drink in there already, bouncer made us feel very uncomfortable - likely because we looked young? 22 years old in fact. Weird vibes overall. Small space, very popular amongst locals. Prefer Ramsbottom Tap to be honest :)

Great bar, warm and friendly.
Bar service very helpful
