Shelly's Restaurant is situated in the heart of Warrington Town centre at the top end of Bold Street very close to the entrance to the New Golden Square Shopping Centre. They adopt a rather different approach, eschewing the use of microwaves in favour of their Aga cooker, apparently called Cromwell. As a result you should enjoy their eggs Benedict for breakfast, a house speciality, or tasty soups and warm baguettes at lunchtime.

Afternoon tea follows on seamlessly, with a choice of sandwiches, a selection of Earl Grey, Lapsang Soushong or Ceylon Orange Pekoe and, naturally these days, a cappuccino. This could be followed by relatively straightforward food in the evening like Aga roasted lamb shank with rosemary, thyme and a hint of red currant; pan-roasted salmon with prawn, chervil and caper butter sauce, and slices of black pudding topped with ginger spiced rocket leaves and homemade apple chutney.
