About The Folly Coffee House & Cafe

The Folly Coffee House & Cafe is a cafe in the Derby Wing of Worden Hall, within Worden Park in Leyland. The menu, drawn from a 23-dish list, includes toasties such as the Trio Cheese Toastie and the Tuna Mayo and Cheese Melt, alongside a Cheese and Ham option with cheese and onion jam. A courtyard provides outdoor seating for dry days, and dogs are welcome to join. Families with young children can make use of high chairs, and the step-free entrance suits visitors with mobility needs. Food is also available as takeaway for those eating off site. The cafe opens daily through the daytime, and reservations are recommended. Indoor seating in the old building offers additional room beyond the courtyard tables.

Customer Review Summary

Coffee is the recurring focal point here, though opinions split sharply: several diners call it good, with one praising a cappuccino paired with the rocky road, while others describe it as weak, watery, or the worst they've had, even after asking for less milk. Sandwiches and sausage barms draw steady praise, with one reviewer calling the sandwiches excellent and worth a long queue, and burgers get a suggestion that a toasted brioche bun would improve them over the plain white bap. The setting in Worden Park and the Derby Wing building comes up repeatedly, with diners enjoying the courtyard and outdoor seating after a walk, and dogs and kids welcomed alongside quick, friendly service. The complaints run beyond coffee, though: one reviewer describes a raw pasty on a busy Boxing Day and was refused a sachet of sugar at the till, and another was served a stale scone, then a stale replacement cake, before finally getting an acceptable piece, noting the cafe didn't seem to respond to repeated feedback on the issue.

  • Dr Dink
    “Even if there is a long queue it’s worth the wait! Excellent sandwiches freshly prepared with a range of different fillings and great ice cream too. Could do with more outdoor seating at busy times but there are plenty of benches further into the park you can eat your food at.”
  • Brian Sheldon
    “Enjoyed a good breakfast with nice coffees. Dry day so sat outside, service was friendly and quick. Dogs welcome.”
  • JoelJoel A
    “It was a nice meal but my feedback would be the burgers would be improved by serving on a lightly toasted bun, preferably brioche, rather than a plain white bap. It's a little change but would make a big difference.”
  • Amy M
    “We last visited just before Christmas only just remembered to post about this! I got the rocky road which was so good, I had this last time and had to get again with a cappuccino, really nice coffee and sweat treats just a tad expensive. …”
  • Judith Cegielka
    “Very pricey, weak, cold coffee and stale scone. The food is too pricey so I had a scone. It was stale. It was replaced with a piece of cake. This too was stale and was apparently from an earlier bake. The replacement piece was OK. But the coffee is always weak here even with less milk. My friend described her coffee as 'watery'. It's disappointing as it could be a great place. They don't seem to respond to feedback as I notice others have made similar observations to no avail”
