Davenports Tea Room in Cheshire West and Chester

We heard that Belinda was retiring and had to have one more visit before she left. She didnt fail to impress as the same with all other previous visits. As usual fantastic cakes and her knowledge of teas is on a different level. I wish her a very happy retirement but feel she wont be resting too much

Visited here with girlfriends for afternoon tea. A very unique and quirky experience. Interesting decoration William Morris wallpaper, murals about Alice in Wonderland which is a nod to the author Lewis Carol who was born nearby at Daresbury. Heavy oak furniture. staff dressed in traditional servant outfits. The owner is truly passionate about all aspects of tea, history , preparation and serving. It was interesting though I was just a little confused about what I was about to drink. The tea we received was good though it didn’t stay hot enough as it was served in a stoneware teapot with no cosy . My preference is for a metal/silver pot. We did however try a light and refreshing lemon and ginger tea. The star of the visit were the excellent sandwiches, their homemade potted beef tasty snd the ham from a local butcher outstanding. Davenport’s are keen to use local suppliers and the egg sandwiches although under seasoned were from their own flock The huge selection of little cakes were magnificent I think from memory there were a choice of 10. My favourite was the orange and chocolate macron ( memories of a Jaffa cake) and the frangipan bake well tart. Scones are served freshly baked and beautifully light and moist. Served with butter jam ( again home made) and cream. There wasn’t quite enough jam and cream for our party but as it was at the end of tbe meal we didn’t bother to ask for more. All in all a lovely experience , we were there for 3 hours and were not pressured to leave. Plenty of parking and it is advisable to book. Finally if you choose to use artificial seeetner in your tees, best keep it hidden as the owner certainly doesn’t approve!!!!😂

Just had Victorian afternoon tea. A wonderful experience from start to finish. From the decor, including traditional paper chains to the very informative talk from Belinda on the history of tea. Beautiful home made delicate cakes. And old fashioned potted beef sandwich. Looked after perfectly by pat.

Cute little country tea room in Northwich. The afternoon tea was fa tasted and very high quality. The tea talk was very interesting. Love how traditional and old fashioned the place is and the Alice in Wonderland theme is very cute.

Sunday 22nd July Had the pleasure of meeting Belinda the resident tea expert who told us all about the teas available and gave recommendations. The Scones were the best scones I've ever tasted. So fresh and melt in your mouth. There is a reason why you have to book and why it's popular! Cakes lovely too! Thank you for the best afternoon tea we have had. The Tea and food was Fab.

Absolutely amazing, very informative, the food was amazing, and service was outstanding, well worth a visit.

I visited Davenports of Cheshire tea room on Saturday (20th May) with my partner and parents. The service was brilliant from start to finish and we had the pleasure of Belinda sharing her knowledge on the history of afternoon teas - which blew us away! we tried around 4/5 different teas and couldn't believe all the different flavours. The afternoon tea itself was delicious too, with a good variety of sandwiches, savoury and sweet treats. The scones were something else! We can't recommend Davenports of Cheshire tea rooms enough and we can't wait for our next visit. Thank you to Belinda and her team for such a lovely Saturday afternoon.

What a wonderful celebration afternoon tea we had! Belinda was so knowledgeable and helpful with her teas to accompany our food. Spot on choices too. Our food was delightful, both the meat eaters and vegetarians we treated to a delightful selection of sandwiches and cakes. The still warm from the oven scones finished off a perfect treat.

We’ve been 4 times and each time is wonderful- we did the Christmas Victorian tea and have booked on already for next year. Such a special wonderful place. The food and detail is incredible. We are so happy we found you.

Great communication with the booking and from the minute we walked in to the place it was a great experience. Food was delicious, cakes were amazing. Also for someone who isn’t a massive tea drinker have been pleasantly surprised/converted.

Booked a Victorian tea for 2 for wife's birthday and our anniversary. Great choice of teas and educated us on the different teas. Lovely sandwiches, as well as amazing locally sourced mini deserts as well as locally sourced meat for the sandwiches.

Visited today for the Victorian Christmas afternoon tea. The tea rooms looked absolutely beautiful. Afternoon tea was beautiful, good selection of teas, sandwiches & cakes. The young man who looked after us & served our afternoon tea was both very friendly & helpful. A real asset to the tea rooms. We had a fantastic afternoon & would highly recommend anyone looking for a special Christmas afternoon tea experience to book Davenports

While we have enjoyed afternoon tea at Davenports on several occasions this was the first time we had experienced their "at home" service. It was exceptional!! From the ordering and consequent email communication re tea choice, through the delivery, to the eating and drinking, a wonderful experience!! The afternoon tea was delivered at the promised time, all was beautifully boxed and wrapped in a ribbon...together with a birthday message, a rose and single candle. On opening the boxes the food and teas were beautifully presented. And each food item, both savoury and sweet was a delight to eat. An ample quantity allowing us to spread this birthday treat over lunch, afternoon tea and supper. An experience to repeat and recommend!!

Visited Davenports again with a group of pals for afternoon tea. It was amazing - gorgeous food, beautifully presented in lovely surroundings. The service is also fantastic and huge thanks to Liv for looking after us so well. Highly recommended!

Best afternoon tea we have ever had. Belinda the owner makes you feel special and creates a sense of occasion. Gorgeous local produce. We loved it! Thanks

Had the most wonderful afternoon at Davenports Tea Room and Florists . Experiencing their Tea Tasting Experience with Traditional Afternoon Tea. Belinda was fabulous explaining the history of the Tea & guiding us through the array of teas which she not only recommended but also tailored to our taste. Each one unique & perfectly blended & brewed . I have experience many afternoon teas but this is the best I have ever been too . Not only for the quality of the food which was so fresh & all homemade which you don't get at most afternoon teas as most are mass produce , not at Davenports . But the experience from start to finish both ladies where warm & welcoming and always about checking your enjoying yourself but not overbearing either . Thank you so much for a wonderful Sunday 💗

This is the second time we've ordered the afternoon tea delivered to your home and both times they were excellent. Delicious sandwiches, mouth-watering cakes and the best cup of tea ever! We have also visited the tearoom on several occasions and each time we've thoroughly enjoyed our time there! Can highly recommend!

We’ve had afternoon tea a few times at the tea rooms and ordered the Victorian afternoon tea at home for my mums birthday. Wow - was totally amazing! Food was excellent as ever and there was so much selection both sandwiches and all the different cakes - definitely couldn’t finish it all.Loved all the little touches - the crackers, the Christmas quiz, even the way the boxes were packed was beautiful, tied with a bow with a little card. Cannot recommend this enough - my mum thoroughly enjoyed it, as did we! Thank you!!

Had a lovely Victorian afternoon tea here for 2 mulled wine to start, the decorations and tree were fantastic and had a cosy atmosphere, we made our own Christmas crackers at the table and a little quiz Everything was locally sourced delicious pork pies, sandwiches with ham, turkey and cranberry were my favourite, nice selection of cakes all Christmas themed with a nice homemade mince pie and fresh scones to finish off. Belinda is a great host and we loved our little hyacinths that we took home with us!Will definitely be back!

I ordered afternoon tea for work for our team meeting online.Ordering was very easy for 12 people and Davenports accommadated our requirements for veggie etc no problem. They delivered to our work place and was early and Belinda dressed in her Victorian clothes. They were beautifully package. We had our meeting and opened the boxes together, it looked amazing. The sandwiches were very fresh and tasty. The cakes were delicious. There was a lot of food so some cakes were saved for later. With a selection of teas to try too. There was a little card in the box saying thank you and also a quiz for us to do. It was one of our best team meetings.

Had a wonderful afternoon tea today at Davenports. Enjoyed it so much we've provisionally booked in for their Victorian Christmas event. Would highly recommend for anyone who enjoys a traditional afternoon tea with great service.

I have visited Davenports a number of times over the years and it never fails to disappoint me. I was so happy to go back and visit again after they reopened. I really like how every experience is personal, they adapted the sandwiches for us on request, they saved specific flavour scones for us on request, I really like how they explain all of the different items on the stand and that they are sourced locally. I think it’s lovely how Davenports warm the cups before serving the tea and also I like that the scones are served warm. The staff are also very knowledgable and kind, they even gave me advice on where to go to a lovely walk locally. I’ll be back again soon!

Once again Belinda and Ian delivered a top notch Afternoon Tea. This was our third trip and we’ve already booked our 4th.We’d like to thank Belinda for the effort taken to keep everyone safe during this time; pre-booking makes complete sense and the phone call beforehand to check our health status was appreciated. Personal service, local produce, oodles of delicious cake and a friendly ambiance all adds up to a perfect afternoon. Loving the new “Davenports of Cheshire” website, made pre-booking very easy. Already looking forward to our return trip in December. Thank youRussell & Karen

Justv had a wonderful afternoon tea. Both the food and hospitality was exceptional and every detail has been taken into account to make you feel safe.The explanation regarding all the different types of tea was explained to have with the food being offered. Lovely sandwiches,pork pie,cheeses,scones and cakes all locally produced. Had to bring the cakes home as we were so full.Would certainly recommend this tea room and will be returning.

I went with 2 friends to Davenports for afternoon tea. It's the best afternoon tea experience I've ever had. The selection of teas is wide and the lady's knowledge of tea was impressive. The food was delicious, with a variety of sandwiches and cakes. We booked a week in advance and requested one gluten free, one vegetarian and one normal afternoon tea. The food was plentiful and prepared with care and attention. It was the full experience of a relaxed, enjoyable afternoon tea with friends set in the quaint tearooms. Davenports operates well under current covid guidelines, thought has gone into how to keep everyone safe whilst maintaining the full experience. Thank you, we will definitely be back.

Hi Ian. I wanted to say from Sarah & I, we LOVED the afternoon tea! I’m not usually a sweet toothed person, however those vegan cakes & sweets were something else. They were so so tasty, I couldn’t stop eating them. Thanks so much for the nice extra touches with the ribbons too. It was all totally delicious & we will be back to eat more, experience the beautiful tea room & hopefully come on the barge at some point too. Thanks again to you & your wife. Really pleased I contacted you & have been Davenports in my life.

We ordered an Davenport’s afternoon tea take away for my daughter’s sixteenth birthday due to tearooms ect being closed because of Covid 19. I have to say the service provided exceeded my expectations, the afternoon tea was presented beautifully in well organised boxes which included the most beautiful sandwiches and cakes. Each family members dietary requirements was noted and catered for without compromising taste or presentation. A link was provided so that an explanation of the variety of tea and food could be appreciated fully. I was so impressed with both the level of service and the care provided in to making sure the afternoon tea party was a success. I want to thank Davenport’s for helping my daughter’s birthday during lock down a day to remember. The food not only looked lovely, it was truly delicious.Thank you Davenport’s, I intend to keep your afternoon tea takeaway a tradition!

Went for afternoon tea with three friends in February. We hadn't booked apparently and the waitress was quite abrupt about what was available (not a lot)Served a small selection of sandwiches (these were what was left over and they didn't have a lot of bread left to make more) and a cake each. Overall, not a good experience but nice to meet up with friends.

We went on our way home from a Spa break in Tarporley, approx 2.30 pm 16th March,as we waited to be taken to a Table the member of staff looked almost as if she didnt want us there exclaimed " there are only two of us on duty " sat us at a table , nearly 20 mins later we were still waiting to be served, adjacent to our Table were two ladies that had just been served Afternoon Tea, but no attempt was made to take our order, we looked at each other and left.

Went for tea and cake with a friend yesterday and it was lovely! The staff are welcoming, the tearoom is beautiful and the selection on the menu is great. It’s very hard to choose which cake to have as they all look delicious. We really liked that everything is local - local businesses should be supported. Highly recommend Davenports, everything about it is lovely!

Felt intimidated by the owner. I asked for vegan option and basically although accommodated with lovely vegan cake it came with a suttle telling off as I hadn’t booked. When attempting to explain I was shut down with ifs and buts. I didn’t warm to her. My friend and I had 1 coffee and I had vegan cake served on a non hygienic wooden platter and she had a very small scone. The bill was shy of £15. Not going again. At the end of the day it was 2 coffees and 2 cakes.

We had a Victorian Christmas Afternoon Tea, which included wonderful sandwiches (salmon/cream cheese, beef paste, ham & turkey/cranberry), artisan pies, delicious cakes and homemade scones. The tea (darjleeling & mint/choc rooibos) was lovely and refreshing. The service was impeccable, with a real knowledgeable description of the food and drinks and attention to detail.

Booked this as a treat . It was so lovely . Lots to look at decorated beautifully. Food delicious . Most of all the staff were delightful .

Fantastic festive afternoon tea. Tea rooms beautifully decorated. Lovely sandwiches & excellent range of cakes & delicious home made scones to finish. Extensive range of teas & very knowledgable staff who guide you through them. Thank you Belinda & staff for a lovely afternoon, we all really enjoyed ourselves.

This afternoon tea was a Father’s Day present from my daughter but we decided to defer the Experience to take advantage of the ‘ Victorian event ‘ in the run up to Christmas. What a good decision this was , the management had gone to great lengths to attractively decorate the tea rooms in a Victorian/Christmas theme and even dressed in Victorian attire. The afternoon tea was a delight in every respect, the food was clearly freshly made using homemade and local produce. Minor dietary quirks were catered for superbly. We opted for traditional tea / coffee rather than the offer of mulled wine ( alcoholic or non-alcoholic) , I can only say the coffee was delightful. The cakes/ patisseries were varied, beautifully presented, and mouthwatering. Warm , fresh homemade scones completed the afternoon tea. The management team of Davenports are to be complimented, the afternoon tea was a delight and could not be faulted in any way.

I booked the Victorian Christmas afternoon tea for my Mum and I as we like to do a festive trip each year. The whole experience was perfect from start to finish. From being greeted by the friendliest team in their authentic costumes to making our own crackers to sipping mulled wine. The music and atmosphere was spot on. And the food! Divine. Especially the pate and the sticky toffee cupcake. Thank you Davenports for such a treat.

Called in this afternoon on the off chance that they could squeeze us in for lunch (Sat about 1:40pm). Happy to accommodate our family (parents and teens). Learn we have to pre-book afternoon tea experience so couldn’t do a traditional afternoon tea today (will do this next time for their special Victorian Christmas afternoon tea as sounds fab) however they were able to sort lunch for 4 and made to feel very welcome. Attentive service by lovely lady who was expert in speciality teas and even got to smell the earl grey loose tea to help with selection which added to a personal experience. We opted for 2 speciality teas, hot chocolate and fentimens rose lemonade plus ploughman’s platter, toasted sandwiches which come with side salad and followed by cakes which were scrumptious. Happy with the pricing and a nice off the beaten track lunch experience by a welcoming hostess. Will be back- thanks for making us feel so welcome

Our visit with my son & family in the UK they had lined up a delightful outing to Davenports for a lovely tea. The Staunton Earl Gray looseleaf tea was unavailable for our visit but when I returned to USA, I bought two tins online, one for a gift and one to keep. This was a suggested tea by the Proprietor and it is absolutely delicious! The food was quite yummy and the atmosphere was divine. I would have bought a teacup and saucer they used for the Madhatter's Tea but they were not for sale. The clothing/jewelry store upstairs was absolutely wonderful! I bought an early Christmas decor mouse...he's quite cute! Definitely a go-to spot if you are in Northwich.

We were travelling the canal on a narrowboat and went for breakfast before setting off for the day. We arrived about 9.45am to find it opens at 10 am, we were happily waiting outside. At 9.55am a lady appeared and asked if she could help us. We told her we were waiting for the tearoom opening. She asked what we wanted and we told her breakfast. She advised that she worked there and that the heating wasn't on yet nor the hot water. We got the impression she didn't want to do any work so we left. Such a pity as we do like to support these small independent venues.

Me and my wife went for an afternoon tea here and it was spectacular. My wife had been once before and she enjoyed it just as much a second time. The food couldn't be faulted, full of flavour and just the right amount. The staff were all really cheerful, friendly and knowledgeable about the teas. After being to other place for afternoon tea non compare with Davenport Tea Rooms. I look forward to going back soon and trying out other foods and drinks.

Went to Davenport's for the first time today for the mother in law's birthday, and won't be our last. Shown to our table set in a lovely ambiance, very informative about the menu and the great selection of teas on offer. Classic afternoon tea was taken, and was absolutely lovely, food was lovely and fresh from the 4 types of sandwich fillings, great selection of cake's and one of the best warm scones I've had, nice and relaxed not rushed, service was excellent. Definitely worth a visit, we will be back soon.

Went this afternoon for the Mad Hatters Tea Party. Wow!! The work that has been put into this tea party for the customers to enjoy is absolutely amazing. All the hard work and effort of the staff really paid off. The attention to detail was unbelievable. The atmosphere was great, the music in the background made you feel like you were in disneyland. The sandwiches were so nice. Loved the heart shaped egg sandwiches was a really nice touch. Got to say, that ham was delish! What I also liked about the food was that it was all locally sourced. Big fan of that. The cakes! Oh my word! Beautiful and so elegant. I loved the 'Eat Me' cakes & biscuits. Brilliantly done and it just set the scene for the Alice theme. The were all very friendly. It was wonderful that they all made the effort and was in fancy dress. The owner is fantastic, always gets dressed up as the Queen of Hearts. She really is the Queen of Hearts taking care of all the customers and making sure everything ok. All in all it was a cracking afternoon. Big thank you to all the staff x

Visited today with wife son and daughter, didn't book luckily staff found us a table. Food was excellent and coffee really nice. Staff very helpful and welcoming.

We arrived not having booked and despite there being 8 of us, the staff accommodated us quite happily. Two of our party were Vegan and we had not notified the tea room in advance so the options available to them were very limited however the staff did their very best to provide options for them. The service was delightful and efficient and the food fresh and enjoyed by all of us. The only criticism I have is my main course salad appeared to be exactly the same size as the side salads served with the ploughmans lunch and the ciabatta which others in our party ordered so I felt a little cheated especially noting the price. However the salad was lovely with lots of variety, beautifully presented, and garnished thoughtfully. I just would have appreciated a little more of it! I would return without hesitation but will pick something else next time.

Having visited Davenports a few times we decided it would be an ideal location to celebrate part of my husbands special birthday with the family. We spent a lovely few hours in this delightful tea room with a special afternoon tea. The selection of teas was amazing. Thank you to all the staff we had an amazing time in this little hidden gem of Davenports. My son asked how we found it. We just stumbled across it many years ago with friends

A award winning traditional tea room. Beautiful crockery, high teas, and pure attention to detail. As Ian about their canal cruises. Loads of gluten free options. The nicest gluten free bread bun I’ve ever had.

We have had a lovely trip onboard the Dike piloted by Ian and hosted by Belinda. In June 2019 my mum celebrated her 80th birthday with an afternoon tea with her friends onboard Duke and it was a great success. So I wanted to see what the fuss was about. The river is so peaceful and teaming with wildlife. Belinda was really knowledgeable about the area and shared stories as we voyaged.

We had the classic afternoon tea which was beautiful. Well presented, sandwiches were lovely and a great selection of cakes. Good selection of scones. Staff very pleasant & friendly. Highly recommend. I went to Harrogate the next day for the weekend & visited Betty’s tearooms. Although it was nice, I have to say it was not a patch on Davenports’s for atmosphere, choice of food , choice of tea & value for money. Looking forward to my next visit to Davenports

We went for the afternoon tea, which was a present from our son and his partner, we had been before and knew what to expect. We were served by a very serious young man and a very bubbly lady, both very good at their jobs, the service was excellent. The food was very tasty and the scones were the best my husband had ever tasted.

I asked a young lady at the counter for a menu and before she could answer the owner (Mrs Basil) who was preparing tea cut across and said they were very busy and to wait a minute. I said I was speaking to the young lady and Basil told me that she had only been there an hour and didn't know what to do! Very abruptly! She told me I didn't know what it was like running a busy tea room. Why would a new member of staff start work at 12.30 (peak lunchtime) when she has had no training?? HOSPITALITY: Kindness in welcoming strangers or guests. Ring a bell?? Needless to say we found a very welcoming cafe a short distance away

Visited Davenports for afternoon tea today for my mums birthday. After reading previous reviews we were looking forward to it. Unfortunately we were all really disappointed with the experience, the food was of an ok standard nothing fantastic and certainly not better than other afternoon teas I have had for half the price. What I felt really let it down was having only one pot of tea per person I think if your paying over £25 a person then tea or coffee should be unlimited. I thought the actually dining room lacked any atmosphere and hated the fact as a party of 3 we were seated on a table for 6. No one explained any of the teas to us or what sandwiches and cakes we were served. I think unfortunately the afternoon tea at Davenports is very overpriced for what it is, I have enjoyed much nicer afternoon teas at other venues for more reasonable prices. I’m afraid I won’t be visiting again and I don’t think I would recommend to me this place didn’t live up to my expectations.

I had booked a day off work to recover from a night out on Manchester and decided to take my girlfriend to Davenports for Lunch. The experience was excellent. I order the patè and th of had the ploughmans lunch. The quality and presentation was excellent. The atmosphere is very traditional and clean and the photographs I took have prompted many others to promise a visit.

Impromptu visit as we were heading down this way one dreary Saturday in April 2019.

What has happened to the portions, standards and manner of staff!!!

Travelling home from holiday called in for a cup of tea , this place is a tea experience

We went to Davenports Tea room for a prebooked afternoon tea the cafe only had us in and two other tables.

Visited the Tea rooms with my partner and Aunt. The tea rrom itself is lovely and quaint the staff are polite and friendly. The food we had again was fine and we took home quite a few of the sweet cakes. Scones soft and warm and a vast choice of tea we had chocolate and mint which was lovely. Overall a lovely place to visit a tad expensive at 25.99 each but wort it for a treat.

Found this little gem by accident today while out for a drive. The Interior is so quaint and comfortable we had Welsh rarebit with salad which sounds ordinary but it wasn't. There was a massive choice of teas and coffees to please anyone bone China table cloths what more could you ask for. Would I go back ..yes definitely and I would recome d to anyone

I went to DTR with my aunties and we absolutely loved it! The service as unbelievable and the food was delicious. We had the Classic Afternoon Tea.. it comes with a variety of 8(i think) different mini desserts, 4 types of finger sandwiches and a scone pp(you can choose if you’d like savory or sweet). All the staff is very friendly and attentive, I will definitely go back!

I’d seen the signs for this place hundreds of times but never ventured to it as I always seem to be rushing somewhere else. So, I planned to walk here with my parents the next day, which we did. After a 7 mile cross-country hike, and a little bit of rain, we arrived only to be told they might not be able to fit us in as they had a number of afternoon teas booked. They offered for us to wait, and within 5 mins we were seated in this quaint little tearoom.

Booked a table for 2 for afternoon tea Service very slow. Felt a bit intimidated by the lady who was asking for our tea choice Food was lovely although do feel it was overpriced for what you received Service very slow considering not busy

We chanced upon this tea shop plus plus on our way to Ludlow. What a wonderful treat. We were so impressed with the ambiance, the food and the friendly service. The setting is whimsical and gorgeous. Thanks so much for making us so welcome. Worth a long drive to visit you again.

Dropped in having driven past here today and had a perfect cup of flowering jasmine tea with a gluten free cheese platter. The Stilton was divine. My husband had a lovely looking hand raised pie. Delightful.

We got given a voucher as a present for an afternoon tea and other than slightly slow service initially and maybe slightly too few sandwiches I couldn't fault this place.

Lovely experience absolutely gorgeous afternoon tea, pies and cakes and fine dine service. But yes there is a but! Two afternoon teas and 2 pies with drinks for four people was an astonishing £90!! EXTORTIONATE to say the least, doubtful we will visit again.

We had booked for afternoon tea

Called in for tea and cake this afternoon. First time we have visited but will definitely not be the last. Lovely staff wonderful cake. What more could you wish for. Brightened up a dismal afternoon. Hubby had coffee and walnut cake and I had lemon meringue cake both were delicious. Service was quick even though they were quite busy. All the staff were smiling and welcoming. Definitely recommend.

We were lucky to get a table when we turned up. All food is local and home made and fresh. Therefore be prepared that what you want may already to have sold out that day. The tea and food are great however to get the most from your visit you really need to plan and book in advance. One of our party had wanted a scone but they were reserved or sold out before we ordered.

Arrived at 10 am, opening time. We asked if they had a table for two, to which a young lady seemed unsure and had to ask a gentleman. The gentleman told us the room was cold, it was freezing. There was a small plug in heater on low, the wall heater behind my chair was not on. So glad that I hadn’t taken my 90 year old mum with us. I asked if I could have a full English breakfast but was told that you have to order this 24 hours in advance due to the AGA cooker!! This was stated on the menu. I then ordered poached eggs on toast and my friend ordered bacon and egg sandwich. The young lady then came back to say that with it being so cold she wasn’t sure if the hens had been able to lay any eggs, so we may have to order something else, as they don’t buy in any free range eggs. Our luck was changing and the eggs arrived. Not sure what the bacon and fried egg sandwich was cooked on!! It was very pricey for what you actually got, very disappointed. Felt so sorry for the young lady working there as every question she had to ask the gentleman and he kept disappearing. Won’t be returning.

What a stunning little place, nothing and i mean nothing is too much trouble for the staff, staff were in victorian dress, all the crockery Knives and forks all of the same period, you will be asked what tea you like, the pots are pre warmed , the food all local and fantastic

Thank you so much for a lovely afternoon celebrating my nieces hen party. On Saturday 4th Feb.. the room was decorated beautifully and the sandwiches little cakes and the scones were all very beautiful. It was so good my sister and I have arranged to treat our mum for Mothering Sunday. Really Thank you and very highly recommended.

Visited this lunchtime with my family and we were genuinely shocked by the lack of customer service and the extremely rude lady who greeted us as we arrived. We asked if there was a table for us and were treated as a huge inconvenience but she begrudgingly offered to have a look. She then spoke to the waitress who was standing right in front of us and said “you can seat the five but tell them we need the table back by 2.45”. As we were taken to our table we were told it would only be possible to order tea and cakes which wasn’t really what we wanted as it was lunchtime. In the end we felt so uncomfortable and awkward we left without ordering anything. If it was too busy to serve us we would have completely understood but it was the rude manner that really spoiled the visit. We were made to feel embarrassed and awkward just for enquiring about a table. If customer service is important to you I would definitely avoid coming here.

It's very special place. If you are looking for lovely cream teas and food. This is the place. I can be expensive but the food is lovely. There are so many teas and coffees to choose from.

Went here today with just the girls of the family. Whilst the surroundings were lovely and staff polite and uniquely dressed. The food which was served for the Victorian afternoon tea which cost nearly £30 pp was not value for money, the selection of cakes were pretty but not enough for 1 of everything so we didn't each get to taste everything.. Most chocolate type so very sickly.. Sandwiches were nice but for £29 each i wud expect at least 1 sandwich each, 3 small triangles just isnt good value.. I dont feel we got what we paid for in terms of food.. We left feeling sick from the sweet cakes but not full. The stand of cakes i photohgraphed served 3 adults.. The sandwiches were in the bottom tier but obviously had been eaten. Nice as one off but won't be returning.

We thoughly enjoyed our Christmas Tea and the tea room was beautifully decorated. The food was of an excellent standard and cakes would rival the Ritz Palm Court. We enjoyed the opportunity to smell the different types of tea prior to choosing which tea we were going have with our food.

This is a place we love to come to when we can we have been here a few times for afternoon tea and it just gets better every time , each time we think it couldn’t possibly get better but it does , Belinda and her staff are always so helpful and friendly with nothing being to much trouble, this is a lady who clearly loves what she does which shows in her attention to detail and the first class service which is always delivered , the sandwiches where lovely and fresh and filling so tasty , the cakes are amazing especially the baubles which a lot have obviously gone on to , the source of the ingredients and makes of some of the cakes is explained in detail which is nice , the scones were served warm and the chocolate orange ones are so nice , the tea room was decorated like in the Victorian days even including a newspaper from the 1850s , we can’t wait to come back again and would highly recommend Davenports as the place to go for afternoon tea ,

Christmas decor sets the heart in festive mode whilst staff attentive walk throught the mouth watering menu brings anticipated epicurian pleasures to the taste buds. Excellent quality food proudly locally sourced or home baked. Brilliant experience.

Coming from Yorkshire, I know what a good afternoon tea should be, this I'm afraid was very disappointing for the price of £29.99. Davenports lost marks for slow service, tea served in an earthenware teapot drawing the heat out of the tea, bland savoury offerings (other than the mushroom soup) and overly sweet cakes. The whole event took too long and by the time I left my feet were like ice having been on the stone floor for nearly 2 and a half hours. Sorry I've had far better.

We were back again at this gem of a Tea Room in Cheshire. This time for one of their Victorian Christmas Afternoon Tea. Fantastic homemade produce and cakes from local bakers. Highly recommend the Walnut & Stilton scones. The decorations are fantastic. There are original Victorian newspapers on the tables to read. The staff are also in period costume. I would highly recommend a visit.

Had the Christmas afternoon tea today. Highly recommend, lovely fresh sandwiches, beautifully decorated cakes & excellent chocolate orange scones. Choice of mulled wine, make your crackers & Christmas quiz. Staff very friendly & welcoming. Thank you for a lovely afternoon, we really enjoyed ourselves. The little present when we left was a lovely surprise. Excellent value for money x

One of Cheshire's hidden treasures. If you like tea and cakes this is the place for you. I recommend the Royal Air Force Blend from the tea menu. Everything is sourced locally at Davenport's. This was the second year we went to the 'Scary Afternoon Tea Evening'. Food and Service were fantastic. Very friendly staff. We will be back for their Victorian themed afternoon tea soon. Do recommend that you book in advance and look at their FaceBook page .

My Husband and I did not really know what to expect but decided to book, WOW !!! we were not disappointed!! the staff were wonderful, the time and expertise that must have gone into into making the evening so successful I can't imagine!

Wide selection of teas combined with delicious cakes. We also bought some lovely produce from the farm shop

Have passed this place a number of times when driving but on this day we were looking for a drink. When we went in the place was busy but they fitted us in. We went in for tea and scones, but most there were having afternoon tea and they look superb. The choice of tea was bewildering and the scones lovely. My wife has already booked afternoon tea for herself and her friend and I am sure the rating will go to 5. We went on Saturday so I would suggest booking.
