CoGoGo welcomes to the market Cranford Cafe Limited T/A Cranford Cafe & Sandwich Bar, a highly rated cafe and sandwich shop in Knutsford, Cheshire. 

There has been a bakery/cafe at the current location since the 1950’s, with our clients taking over in 2002. During their ownership, the business has built up a regular customer base and excellent reputation within the community. As seen by the online ratings and reviews (4.5/5 rating and over 320 reviews on Google), they’re extremely popular.

Cranford Cafe & Sandwich Bar has now come to the open market due to our clients desire to retire. 

This family run business has evolved through the years as a Cafe and Sandwich Bar serving a wide range of traditional, contemporary, vegetarian, vegan and gluten free meals. They provide a wide range of options catering for all dietary needs. This is also extended to their extensive buffet menu for those office meetings or events at home.
