Wishing Well

Welcome to Wishing Well, a charming café located at 79 High St, Mexborough S64 9AB, United Kingdom. As I stepped inside, I was greeted by a warm atmosphere that resonates with nostalgia. Renowned for its home-cooked meals, Wishing Well continues to impress both locals and visitors alike. The café's rich history dates back to the late '60s when it was a popular spot for cubicle-style seating, offering a semblance of privacy for guests. This tradition, wrapped in the cafe's friendly vibes, still lives on today.

The reviews from patrons echo a common theme: the exceptional quality of food coupled with friendly service. Leslie Orriss reminisces about the good old days while praising the café's affordable prices and simple home cooking. It’s a testament to Wishing Well’s enduring legacy that the food, described as great by many, still maintains that charming simplicity that feels like a warm hug for the soul.

Stephanie Tassinari’s heartfelt comment about how much she misses her monthly big breakfast is a lovely illustration of Wishing Well's ability to create lasting memories through its meals. Just imagine tucking into a hearty plate that brings people together time after time.

  • Atmospheric Environment: A lovely café ambience mentioned by Stephanie Ellis emphasizes the good vibes that you can soak in while enjoying your meal.
  • Exceptional Service: Customer feedback from Lee Bragan and Kevin Wilson points to the attentive, personable staff. Many reviews highlight how they go above and beyond to make patrons feel at home—something that truly enhances the dining experience.

    Has great memories from late 60,s when the cafe had cubicle,s to sit in for a bit privacy with personal friend,s & work mates from modern methods & materials, as well as Clay,s Tv shop when on saturday,s the main was heaving with shoppers you could move in the shop at times. Anyway back to the wishing well the food was great then as it is now simple good home cooking at affordable prices, long may it continue. Thanks.

    Been here twice. Food was nice had breakfast was very big plate for size amount of food. They put bread on same plate bit strange as gets all greasy and other things like egg. I prefer my bread on different plate but if you take off the bread then plate was too empty for food amount. I would recommend small plate for breakfast and side plate for bread or toast. Spoiled it for me
