A café has been awarded a Good Food Award 2023.

Muzzy’s Breakfast House was awarded the Blue Ribbon for Delicious Dishes in Good Food Awards after receiving the highest customer service ratings.

The Good Food Awards recognises teams who strive for excellence within their field and are chosen for their food quality, service and value.

The popular breakfast joint situated on Broadway, Bebington, opened its doors in August 2019 where it originally started out as a “bankrupt café”.

Manager at Muzzy’s Emre Saydam, told the Globe: “I first found out we had won the award after a customer emailed me.

“I wasn’t sure at first I thought it could have been a scam email because I didn’t even know we had been entered.”
