The Midway Cafe is a family‑run cafe that started as a local pit‑stop for market traders. Over the years, we have grown into a welcoming hub for students, families and visitors alike. Our mission is simple: serve hearty, freshly made meals at fair prices and foster a sense of community in everything we do.
From our scratch‑made breakfasts to our daily specials, each dish is prepared with care using locally sourced ingredients. Pull up a chair, enjoy a chat with our staff and experience the warmth and character that make our cafe a home from home.
Newcastle‑under‑Lyme is a bustling market town adjacent to Stoke‑on‑Trent. The town grew around a 12th‑century castle and earned its first borough charter in 1173. The name “Lyme” comes from a Brythonic word for elm trees.
Our historic market – known as The Stones – dates back to 1173 and still runs six days a week, hosting general, antique and bric‑a‑brac stalls. At The Midway Cafe, we proudly carry this tradition of community and craft: hearty food, warm service and a few bits of local lingo. Whether you’re a regular or just visiting, you’ll experience the hospitality that makes our town unique.
