We are delighted to share some exciting news with our customers, friends and the wider Bunbury community.

Tilly's Bunbury has been honoured with not one, but two prestigious awards in 2026, recognising both our commitment to exceptional customer experiences and our dedication to serving the local community.

We have been named Best Café in Bunbury by Restaurant Guru 2026 and have also received two awards at the SME News UK Enterprise Awards 2026:

🏆 Village Café & Coffee Shop of the Year 2026 – Cheshire

🏆 Community-Focused Café Experience Excellence Award 2026

As a small independent café, these awards mean the world to us.

More Than Just a Café

What makes these awards particularly special is that Bunbury is not only where we run our business – it's where we live.

As village residents ourselves, we understand how important local businesses are in bringing people together and creating a strong sense of community. From the day we took over Tilly's, our aim has been to create more than just a place to enjoy great coffee and homemade food.

We wanted to create a welcoming space where people could meet friends, celebrate special occasions, support local events and feel part of something bigger.

A Community at the Heart of Everything We Do

Over the years, Tilly's has grown into a community hub for residents and visitors alike.

We've been proud to host business networking events, live music evenings, local artist showcases, charity initiatives and our weekly Chatty cafe table, helping people connect and combat loneliness.

We've supported local cycling groups, sponsored community activities and welcomed countless gatherings, celebrations and special occasions through our doors.

Seeing people come together in our café is one of the most rewarding parts of what we do.

Thank You to Our Customers

Awards like these simply wouldn't be possible without the incredible support we receive from our customers.

Whether you've joined us for breakfast, brunch, lunch, coffee and cake, attended one of our events, recommended us to friends or left a review online, you've played a part in this achievement.

The Restaurant Guru award is based on customer reviews and feedback, making it a particularly meaningful recognition of the experience we strive to provide every day.

A Fantastic Team Behind the Scenes

We are also incredibly fortunate to have a wonderful team who share our passion for hospitality.

Their hard work, friendly service and commitment to looking after every customer are at the heart of everything we do. These awards are a reflection of their dedication and the care they bring to Tilly's every day.

Looking Ahead

While we're proud of what we've achieved, our focus remains the same as it has always been: serving freshly prepared food, homemade cakes, speciality coffee and providing a warm welcome to everyone who walks through our doors.

We're excited about what the future holds and look forward to continuing to grow as part of this amazing village community.

From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your support.

These awards belong to all of us.

Paula, Andy and The Tilly's Team
