We popped in here around lunchtime, just for a brew and a snack, never having been here before. Lovely homely atmosphere, good choice of homemade food, friendly owner. Next time we visit Heswall, this will be our port of call for lunch.

Gill's is fantastic. We've been coming here for years and the whole family love it. Gill and her staff are so helpful and friendly and will make the food however you want it. It has a lovely relaxed atmosphere and, most of all, the food is amazing, so lovingly prepared with fresh ingredients ever single time. I've been to many, many cafes and Gill's is the best value for money of them all.
