After hearing stories of how busy Bolton’s Amico Cafe has been following its appearance on hit BBC drama Happy Valley, I was pleasantly surprised to find no queue at the door as I arrived on Saturday morning.
The outdoor seating area was predictably empty owing to the frosty weather but despite the lack of queue, there was a buzz about the place inside. The now-famous table was occupied (well one half of it anyway) so after ordering the special Happy Valley sandwich, I took a seat upstairs.
It was my first visit to the cafe and I was impressed with how light and airy it was, with natural light pouring in through large windows and plenty of plants bringing a bit of welcome greenery.
