The best restaurants in Cheshire East North West

Quick service and lovely food in the cafe and the butchers. Excellent value too. Farm shop and cafe well worth a visit, lots of frozen and fresh food. Jams, pickles etc too.

We visited the cafe on a wet Monday in November and were lucky to get a table and escape the rain. The cafe is only small and limited to 5 tables for 4 people each. What I found bizzare about the set up is the fact that the cafe manager seems to taken it upon themselves to make one of these tables their desk to work from. This meant that whilst we were there two sets of families of 4 came and went - choosing Sainsbury’s cafe instead and I can’t blame them. What was more surreal is that the manager was well aware of this and then appeared to joke with one table “you don’t care do you!” they all laughed. I can only take from it all that the cafe must be doing well for itself if the manager doesn’t feel the need to vacate her office and let them sit down? Can’t fault the lad behind the counter.

This place will take some beating, never ever had a bad meal. Staff lovely as always and portion sizes are huge. I used to go here 15 / 16 years ago and its always been great.

As if the magnificent surroundings and resplendent building are not enough, the quality of home made delights on offer, make this 'up there' with some of the best tea rooms I've visited. Home made bread, quiches, cakes... hot drinks served in China ware - utterly delicious! You are transported back to another era, a taste of the finer things. Enjoy!

Excellent, flavoursome food, and value. Everything freshly prepared. Staff attentive, but not intrusive. Wide menu.

The menu is slightly different to standard pub grub and the quality exceeds expectations. The beer selection is excellent and well kept.

I visited with 3 friends on Monday 19th December for a fabulously fresh festive afternoon tea and a wonderful time. We were warmly greeted into the tea lounge, which was packed to the rafters with a large party and many other tables were taken too. There was a warm and cosy festive feel, with christmas music adding to the great atmosphere. Although the lovely staff were kept very busy, they were happy, smiling and nothing was too much trouble and we were soon seated with a festive drink in hand, which is a lovely idea and makes The Nantwich Tea Lounge afternoon tea stand out from the rest. When our bulging stands of festive goodies arrived at the table, it was very clear that everything was freshly made, with an assortment of sandwiches, which included turkey & cranberry, roast beef & horseradish and cheese & pickle, with a tasty mini sausage roll. Then we started on the layer of beautifully home baked scones with clotted cream & strawberry jam. After that we moved onto our delicately made cakes, which are lovingly created in house, (unlike in other places, where they come straight from the packet) which included a decadent chocolate truffle, a mini mince pie with a soft sponge top, a homemade glass of sherry trifle - which was simply divine. But we were defeated by the gorgeous white chocolate & orange cup cakes and had to box them up to take home. The photo I have posted shows a stand shared between 2. There was loads of goodies and it was all delicious! Without doubt this was an extra special luxurious, delicious afternoon which I would highly recommend and repeat any day of the week. Thank you to the staff, who were so friendly and helpful. If you haven't visited yet, make sure you do!

Have never been disappointed with the food or service here and today was no exception. I had the soup and sandwich meal deal which, for £8.20 was fantastic value. The homemade pea and ham soup was just sublime; warming, hearty and very tasty (and not a bit of string in sight! 😂). My friend had the sausages and egg sandwich which she said was perfect. As good as that looked, I'm still glad I had the pea and ham soup! ❤️

Great cafe fabulous atmosphere friendly staff. All round a good place to go. Had some great scones. It was really busy which shows its a good place to eat

Im new to congleton and as a outsider i was made to feel welcome in this establishment, great choice of beers and the stonebaked pizzas are out of this world

A busy cafe. Staff were attentive. Table couldnt be clear right away, which was not a problem for me. Later on, chef gave us a cake, gratis asan apolgy for not getting the table cleared sooner. A nice gesture.

Excellent food & awesome friendly service with a smile from Tina ......the chips are fantastic ;) The fish are well looked after & regularly cleaned & fed . Mark & Caron.

La comida, el establecimiento y el servicio son atroces! Me desconcierta quién le ha dado a esto una calificación de 5 estrellas, lo más probable es que hayan atado amigos y familiares para calificar. Pedimos que se entregara comida que era tarde, que podría haberse pasado por alto, pero la comida era asquerosa. Probado y las 3 piezas que estaban en el korma no se cocinaron! Terminó arruinando todo el lote.

The best place to go for your breakfast and lunch. The staff are all lovely and the service is fast! I go here a lot and it never lets me down

Wonderful and extensive parkland. We had a great walk, quite hilly in places, excellent views over the peaks and of Manchester. Stunning house. Highly recommend for families and all ages. Great tea room and shop
