About Golden Plate
Breakfast runs all day at Golden Plate, a café on Derby Street in Stockport, where a full English and the larger "Mega breakfast" anchor the menu alongside bacon barms. The rest of the kitchen covers toasted sandwiches, burgers with chips, and salads, and tea arrives in a pot, with the option of asking for it strong and the bag left in. The room is split-level, with a couple of steps between the top and lower sections, and the entrance sits in the top part while the toilet is downstairs, so the way in is step-free for visitors with mobility needs. Families with young children get high chairs and a kids corner stocked with colouring books and crayons, and tables outside suit anyone who prefers to eat in the open air. Tables are taken on a walk-in basis rather than by reservation. Doors open daily during the daytime, on a street shared with other places to eat.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what brings most reviewers back, and the mega breakfast draws the warmest praise, with one describing a bacon barm cooked exactly to request. Close behind sit the burger and chips, singled out for chips that weren't sitting in fat, along with the omelettes, grilled chicken salad and the milkshakes a parent's son orders every visit. Several also mention toasted sandwiches and call the food good value, and one points to a kids' corner stocked with colouring books and crayons. The complaints cluster around consistency: a full English with over-fried sausages, oily hash browns and undercooked bacon, a feta salad of watery lettuce and a few tasteless cubes of cheese, side salads described as small and unappetising, toasties on cheap white bread, and tea brewed weak in too large a pot. Staff strike some as off-hand, and one grandparent recounts the lights being switched off at closing time while young children were still eating, food left on their plates.

- Melissa Gell
“I paid £12 for a full English breakfast and it was disgusting the sausages are over fried the mushrooms looked like yesterday's and the hash browns tasted of just oil the bacon looked that under done you could have revived the pig it came of I would avoid this place if you want a nice breakfast”
- Elaine Hawkins
“Ordered feta salad , the lettuce was full of water , 6 half slices of tomato same with cucumber . Sliced egg and a few cubes of cheap tasteless feta . Won't be returning”
- Mark Randles
“The food I had was okay. The side salads are very small (which suited me as I don't eat that much anyway) and not very appetising looking. The staff can be a bit off hand, perhaps they are just very busy? The main door kept on blowing open and letting in the chilly wind. It did not have any kind of automatic sprung closer attached to it. I was sat right in the cold draft it let in and I had no choice but to put my hat and coat back on. The staff did not seem to notice or care?”
- Jon Adams
“Very reasonable prices for Marple (2x toasted sandwiches, 2x drinks + 1x chips = £14). Service was quick and friendly, and without any fuss. Very elderly friendly (even though I don't count myself as such) although there are a couple of steps between the top and lower sections, and the entrance is in the top section, and the toilet is in the lower section.”

How this listing is sourced
- Where the data comes from
- Name, address, hours, contact details, amenities, ratings and review counts come from the business's publicly available profile data — not from the owner and not from paid submissions.
- How it stays current
- Listings are re-checked in batches against their public profile, and anything reported as wrong is corrected at the source rather than patched on the page.
- How it is ranked
- Placement is never sold. Every business on the page is ordered and compared using the same public signals, so an owner cannot pay to move up.
