Westport Visitor Centre has reopened its doors for 2025, with a new tenant firing up the ovens at Westport Lake View Café.
The café is now open seven days a week, Monday to Saturday 9am to 5pm, Sunday 9am to 4pm, offering a spot to relax while taking in beautiful views of the lake and its wildlife.
Westport Lake View Café also aims to be a local community hub, with an exciting programme of activities planned to bring visitors and the local community together.
Westport Lake, created alongside the Trent & Mersey Canal, is Stoke-on-Trent’s largest body of water and has two lakes and a nature reserve. The Visitor Centre offers panoramic views of the lake, which is an important site for water birds and other wildlife.
Councillor Jane Ashworth, leader of Stoke-on-Trent City Council, said: “Westport Lake is a real gem in our city. We are so lucky to have it offering a peaceful retreat for families, dog walkers, and nature lovers alike.
“What this city needs is Westport Lake Café to be a vibrant place where you can go after you've been for a walk around the lake, where you can go if you've been hiring one of the bikes or you just fancy somewhere to go or something to do – so it’s great to see this new café open and busy.
“I wish Amy and her team all the best and encourage everyone to pop down… the bacon butties are 10/10.”
Corinne, Jo, and Amy, the directors of Westport Lake View Café, said: “The first week was amazing, each day we were so busy. It’s fantastic to see regulars return to the visitor centre, and we are absolutely spoiled with views and wildlife. We have so much planned for the rest of the year, so make sure you keep an eye on our Facebook page.”
