2010 Brasserie in Cheshire East

Afternoon tea was fabulous. But the ability to choose your sandwich filling would have been better.

Service friendly but slow and food arrived cold

We came for lunch to celebrate my Dads 80th birthday. They easily accommodated 12 of us in a room which was shared with another couple of tables. Where the 2010 stood out was the support from the staff. We booked lunch from 1:30 in a Saturday and we stayed until nearly 6pm and were allowed to have the family gathering we wanted (we had family who’d driven more than 4h to come!). They kindly had given my Dad a birthday card; the chef took the cake we made; sliced it up and presented it back to us in foil packages so our family could take it home. The whole event was an afternoon that my parents will remember forever as a fantastic family gathering in wonderful surroundings. Thanks 2010 team!!

Seems to be no Google listing for the 1851 restaurant, but it has been one of the worst restaurant experiences I have had, dirty seats, poor food and cold food. Will not be staying again. Staff seem very inexperienced for a supposedly top notch restaurant.

Went for an afternoon tea at 2010 Brasserie at Peckforton Castle, which my wife had bought me for our anniversary present. Wonderful location. The Brasserie is just past reception on the left. Warm welcome from the staff at reception, who helpfully directed us to the Brasserie, and equally wonderful and friendly welcome from the Brasserie staff. Having first checked if we had any dietary requirements, we were then offered tea or coffee while the food was prepared. We each had five finger sandwiches (cheese & pickle, ham & mustard, egg mayonnaise, cucumber & mint and smoked salmon & cream cheese). We then tackled our scones, which were freshly baked and still slightly warm from the oven. They were light and delicious, with tasty jam and clotted cream. To finish, we had coffee with our delicious pastries - a mini lemon cake, a mini lemon meringue pie and a chocolate mousse choux pastry. Wonderful place, great service. Hope to return soon.
