Whether you're catching up with friends, enjoying a quiet moment with your paper, or working remotely, The Northern Den offers the perfect backdrop.
The menu here is a treasure trove for breakfast lovers, showcasing hearty dishes that celebrate British classics. Start your day with their Little Britain Breakfast (£6.50) featuring a mouth-watering assortment of Grandad sausage, crispy bacon, perfectly cooked egg, and all the trimmings: hash browns, grilled tomatoes, mushrooms, and baked beans, served with your choice of white or wholemeal toast. And for those who dare to go the extra mile, feel free to request a free serving of Bury black pudding—just for the brave souls. If you're feeling particularly hungry, the Full English Breakfast (£8.50) is not to be missed, boasting double of everything for those robust appetites.
For those inclined towards lighter fare, the café proudly serves a selection of sandwiches starting at just £2.30, making it an excellent spot for a quick bite or a leisurely lunch.

The ambiance of The Northern Den further enhances your experience—stylish yet cozy, it’s an inviting space where the warmth of the staff complements the rich aroma of freshly brewed coffee and grilled breakfast delights. Customers have raved about the friendly and accommodating service, with many noting how well the staff handle personal requests. Natalie Lomax shared her joy, stating, "Had a lovely breakfast this morning here! Staff were very good at handling my pickiness with grace." It’s this kind of attentive service that sets The Northern Den apart.
Many patrons sing praises for the café's delicious offerings. For instance, Daxly Z was enthralled by the "all American" breakfast—a delightful combination of bacon, sausage, eggs, and hash browns served with fluffy pancakes. This speaks to the café's ability to deliver quality meals that bring a smile. As Liam points out, “Northenden was lacking a café that did a good Full English breakfast,” and The Northern Den fills that void admirably with their seasoned mushrooms and dressed cherry tomatoes.

With its commitment to quality, friendly service, and an enticing menu, this café promises not just a meal, but a delightful experience that will leave you returning time and again. So why wait?
