About
Le Kennys is a traditional English licensed tea room tucked into Bury’s bustling Mill Gate Shopping Centre. From the moment you step into the bright, airy space you’ll notice the careful attention to detail and the warm, friendly service that has earned the café its reputation as Bury’s top‑rated brew. The menu offers a generous selection of breakfast dishes, hearty lunch options and a celebrated afternoon tea that can be enjoyed by anyone, from families with small children to couples and solo travelers alike. Chefs use locally sourced ingredients to create dishes that range from classic full‑English breakfasts to light bites such as tea cakes, crumpets and fruit scones, and provide vegetarian, vegan and gluten‑free options. The afternoon tea spreads are served at 2 pm daily and include classic tea cakes, fruit trifle, hot pudding, fresh cakes and a choice of teas. Coffee, loose‑leaf teas, and a selection of fine wines, beers and prosecco are available for purchase in the retail area. The tea room is a family‑friendly environment, staffed by experienced, smiling wait‑staff who keep the service courteous and efficient – ideal for a relaxed lunch or a quick stop. Payment is by card or cash, and a small light‑meal suitable for quick snacks is available in the café’s two‑tier bar. Le Kennys remains a cornerstone of the local food scene. It has earned the Roy Castle Gold Award for operating a smoke‑free tea room and a string of TripAdvisor Certificates of Excellence since 2014, while an award‑winning tea experience and high‑quality food keep customers coming back year after year.
