Chef Nathan Shaw Brings Bold New Menu to Cafe at Walterz in Staining – Blackpool

Fresh flavours, scratch-made sauces, and a complete culinary shake-up – that’s what’s cooking at Café at Walterz in Staining, just outside Blackpool. 
After just two months on-site, 24-year-old local chef Nathan Shaw has transformed the food scene at Walterz Entertainment Centre, which houses both a restaurant and café. 
His arrival marks a major turning point for the venue — and for food lovers in the area.
From Frozen to Fresh: A Full Menu Revolution

It didn’t take long for Nathan’s culinary vision to gain traction. After overhauling the menu, word quickly spread — including coverage from local media — as Walterz began to draw attention not just as a games hub, but a serious food destination on the Blackpool eating-out scene. The updated menu is fun, flavour-forward, and unique, blending street food energy with elevated comfort dishes.Every element — from the spice rubs to the BBQ sauce — is made in-house.

“The previous menu was frozen, basic, and lacked identity. After one month, I pitched a completely new concept: everything made from scratch, cooked fresh, and packed with flavour,” Nathan told Your Blackpool Guide.

Best-Selling Dishes:

  • 🧀 Double-Stacked Cheeseburgers
  • 🍗 Spicy Buffalo Wings with Celeriac Remoulade
  • 🧀 Crispy Mac & Cheese Bites
  • 🍟 Piggy Fries with Nathan’s Signature Baconaise
  • 🌶️ Peri Peri Chicken Bowls
  • 🍖 Maple Chipotle Pork

Let’s talk about that Baconaise — Nathan’s house-made smoky bacon mayo that has already reached cult status. Guests have called it “flavourous, delicious, and very, very moreish.” It’s not just a side; it’s a signature.

Creativity Across the Whole Complex

Walterz includes both a café (open during the day) and a restaurant (evening service), all under one roof at Newton Hall Holiday Park in Staining — a location that’s easy to include on any trip to Blackpool attractions.

Nathan’s influence spans both spaces. Whether you’re stopping in for a relaxed breakfast or planning a night of food, games, and fun, you’ll find Nathan’s mark on every dish.

“Feedback has been amazing,” Nathan said. “You can taste the difference. People tell me it’s like nothing they’ve had here before – and that’s the goal.”

Not Just Food – It’s a Full Experience

By night, the venue becomes the Walterz Hub, serving up Nathan’s dishes alongside karaoke booths, interactive darts, bowling and more — perfect for visitors or locals planning a fun evening out during their stay in Blackpool.

The venue is also rolling out exciting theme nights:

  • 🎯 The Gerwyn Spice Challenge (Hot Ones-style, with Nathan’s own sauces)
  • 🍽️ Tapas Nights & International Boards
  • 🍳 Weekend specials and taste-test menus
