TOAST HAUS

Making a good impression in the wonderful town of Nantwich is no mean feat, however the Toast Haus has certainly done just that in eight short months. Having opened their doors in May 2025, this independent little brunch come lunch spot is fast becoming the towns favourite place to dine.

Owned and ran by Mitchell Green and Mitchel Hodges, this dynamic duo have over 30 years of hospitality experience between them and it certainly shows. With exceptional service and delicious generous portions, it’s easy to see why the town has fallen in love with the Toast Haus.

As well as serving up gourmet toasted sandwiches and light bites, the word ‘Toast’ not only reflects the breakfast options on offer but also the fact they are a licensed premises. Choose from wine, draught lager, bottles and spirits.

The unique spelling of Haus is also no mistake, pronounced ‘house’, but coming from the German slang term, it refers to a group of people coming together as a collective family, not connected by blood but by experience - which perfectly sums up the entire ethos of the Toast Haus.

Visiting on a Thursday afternoon, TFM expected to find a some empty tables here, but we couldn’t have been more wrong. Each and every seat was occupied with customers drinking and dining, whilst more queued up at the door.

Home to just a handful of tables, you’ll have to be quick to get a spot here, although Mitch & Mitch do their upmost to make sure everyone gets a seat, there’s also a takeaway menu available.

Looking for an elevated classic?

The Haus Breakfast cannot be beaten. Featuring all the usual suspects with the addition of a potato and onion hash, this will certainly set you up for the day.

The light bites are also well worth a mention and contrary to the name, they definitely won’t have you leaving hungry. Reasonably priced, served with a fresh salad and filled with an array of different winning flavour combinations, these are a must order. We devoured the toasted Bacon, Brie and Cranberry sandwich.

As we dined in December, we just had to try the festive turkey ciabatta. Complete with pigs in blankets, stuffing, brie and a delicious pot of gravy for dipping, this plate was faultless and we’re currently coming to terms with the fact, we wont be able to order this again, but excited to see what’s next.

Although we didn’t see it advertised, Mitch told us there was homemade old school sponge available which we’re so glad we had room for. It came served warm with honeycomb ice cream and finished off our lunch perfectly. Don’t forget to ask for this next time you visit!

Whether it’s the locally sourced ingredients - from the likes of Longman’s Farm shop, Whittinghams and The Lost Barn, a deep rooted love for creating delightful food or a combination of the two, we can see why customers are frequently queuing at the door.

But if you don’t want to take our word for it, their awards speak for themselves. Winning twice at the Nantwich Food Awards 2025 for Best Newcomer and Best Cafe/Coffee Shop, they’ve also secured a spot as finalists for start up of the year at the Shop Local Awards in January 2026.

Their popularity has even sparked conversations about expanding upstairs to accommodate their ever growing customer demand.

Despite being amongst the many eateries of Nantwich, this one doesn’t fail to stand out from the crowd. Serving the local community in the best way possible, Pillory Street is now the go-to place for great food and we will most certainly see you there!
