Plaza Cafe Lounge

Helena Mountford

My sister and I ate at the Plaza in lat May 2011 and it was great. The atmosphere is lovely and since the cinema's restoration you feel like you are back in the 1930's. The meal was really good - lasagna and salad, water, scone and coffee. The price £11.00 each. The chef there is recommended and the waitresses (all kitted out in old fashioned "nippy" uniforms) are ultra friendly. Can't wait to go again.

This is a unique and elegant treat, which you might easily overlook if passing on the street. By walking through the doors of Stockport Plaza you step back in time to 1932. The newly refurbished Plaza Super Cinema and Variety Theatre has character by the bucket. By night, the building is host to a mixture of variety, music, classic films and more up to date movies. By day you can head upstairs to find a cafe lounge, complete with bow-tied and waistcoated waiting staff in the setting of Plaza's original cafe, much as it was 78 years ago overlooking Mersey Square. The place is typically open 10 - 4 and offers lunches, cakes and the like. Unusually, the dishes draw heavily on local producers. We tried the BLT (local bacon and very tasty) and the Cheshire Rarebit which included Stockport-brewed beer and local cheese. A range of teas are available including Plaza blend. Ours were delivered in pristine white tea pots with individual strainers. Bliss. It looks like some evening meals may also be available.
