The Village Tearoom in Chorley

The food, the service, the location - all impeccable. My husband and I had afternoon tea for our anniversary and it was fantastic. The brownies were our favourite. Scones spot on, carrot cake delicious, shot of tomato soup, mini sandwiches and quiche were the perfect savoury treats. The price was superb for how much we ate and the excellent quality of all the food. Service is outstanding - everyone is completely on it and friendly. We highly recommend the cafetière of the Brasilia coffee - rich and strong. We really can't recommend this place enough and might avoid doing that just so we can always grab a table. P.S the ham and cheese potato cakes are beyond delicious.

We visit here a lot, as a couple, as a family, with friends or sometimes on our own - we’ve never been let down. Prices are spot on, food is of a high quality and everything is served fresh and hot. Personal favourite of ours are the poached eggs with beans, on white bloomer and the potato cakes with ham and cheese melt, or sometimes the homemade porridge - delicious! Tea & Coffee are also great, and served in various different ways depending on your taste. Confused by some of the negative reviews on here, for instance, calling out the lack of condiments on the tables and there being individual sachets of salt, and rude staff (owner & servers) - having individual salt sachets available is not an issue as they’re always accessible and you don’t have to ask for them, or ask for more if you need it, and as for the owner, of the staff being rude; i’ve yet to come across any behaviour like that at the tea room… Martyn, Jackie and the whole team, thank you for your hard work and efforts in making the village tearoom a great, value for money and local spot for breakfast and lunch!

It was my 1st visit and it was for lunch with a friend. I had homemade cheese and onion pie with baked beans. It was delicious. I had an Americans coffee. I also bought a jar of blackcurrant jam and a slice of bakewell tart to take home. I would recommend this lovely teashop. Friendly and efficient service

This was my 1st visit. I met a friend for lunch. I chose homemade cheese/onion pie & baked beans. It was delicious! I also bought some blackcurrant jam and a bakewell pie to take home for my Mum. It is a lovely hidden tea shop with excellent food and staff. I will be returning and highly recommend a visit.

First time visiting the Village Tearoom and we enjoyed our visit. We parked up the road and it looked busy inside but there was plenty of room upstairs when we entered. The staff were really helpful and the service was quick. It's a good menu and I opted for the potato cakes with cheese and ham melt and my wife had the golden vegetable soup. We tried their carrot cake afterwards and had cappuccinos - all of which were really good. Worth the trip from Preston👍.

I had the most amazing afternoon tea! Served in a beautiful basket!

Lovely cafe to stop off at on a walk or bike ride

Great specials board as well as regular menu. Staff very friendly and good customer service. Home cooked food speciality. Hidden gem off beaten track but worth finding.

My daughter and I had an afternoon tea here and it was lovely. A great selection of savoury along with the sweet.

My first visit, with friend who loves this little gem of a place. Beautiful homemade mushroom soup, with huge filled sandwich (mine with smoked salmin/cream cheese) on brown bloomer bread. Great efficient/friendly service. Loved it!

Fantastic tearoom - great staff & food - always friendly & accommodating. Highly recommended but always best to book as it’s always busy.

Had a lovely latte sat outside with our greyhound. Small dogs are welcome, but he does take a lot of room up. Coffee really nice.

Booked for a small family group. Our table was upstairs in a lovely light room with plenty of space. We all had afternoon teas which was amazing, being served in individual picnic baskets with a shot of soup. The price was reasonable and everything was clean.

This is a lovely tearoom and the food is fresh home cooked. It's well worth a visit. The staff are so accommodating and friendly.

Very disappointed with eggs Benedict ordered by three of our group. All eggs had hard yolks when the joy is cutting into a runny yolk. Also not hot, hard toast cold. No condiments on table and when requested, waitress gave us one sachet of salt. As kitchen is upstairs we could not see if food freshly prepared or in a Bain Marie. Coffee lukewarm. Quirky little Cafe.

Lovely little cafe,food ,service,price and cleanliness spot on.

Lovely place,had a pot of tea(proper tea leaves),we sat outside because it was very warm.Nice little village,very peaceful,we called in after a walk along the canal.

Very limited space book to be safe. Only ordered apple crumble and custard and didn't like it. Wasn't any crumble and also had cinnamon in which I don't like. Coffee not hot and not very nice.

Great homely place, excellent food, great staff too.

Lovely place. The coffee and the cakes were nice. Unfortunately, we couldn't use their Wi-Fi.

A beautiful tearoom with lovely views, the cakes all home made all looked yummy, a choice of teas, coffees, the service was lovely

Lovely little tea room with excellent home made food and great service

The lady taking our order was a little curt to begin with. The mains nice can't complain about them however the scones awful!! Dry, hard, stale! Even cream and jam didn't help nearly snapped the knife trying to cut it then it fell to bits like sand. Truly disgusting Then the biscuit I bought for my daughter was over baked and rock hard. Very disappointed and won't be back. Cost nearly £40 for 3 people.

Super tearoom. Sandwiches were very tasty - lovely fresh bread - and the Victoria sponge was delicious.

Tasty gluten and dairy free afternoon tea. I would recommend a visit here!

What a fabulous little tea room, lovely food, lovely staff, great value and quick service. Quirky items for sale, paintings, jewellery, locally produced jams and chutneys. Definitely will come back. I did wonder about the 2 bad reviews - one from what appears to be a very entitled Macunian, who in 115 reviews gave noone above a 2, and a lady who had been refused entry with her big "well behaved dog".I totally agree with the owner, a smaller well behaved dog is fine, but big dogs are very obtrusive , particularly in a small cafe, and actually are more offputting to the dozen or so other customers it would affect than the one customer who feels she is being victimised. So on analysis, good reviews all fully justified, two bad reviews can be completely discounted.

Came here as a table of 10 for a baby shower and couldn’t fault it. We got afternoon tea which came out in great presentation, every element was delicious. The staff were all friendly and attentive and they even did us some lovely pink icing on the cakes for the baby girl! The venue is lovely with so many cute things for sale. Thank you for a lovely afternoon.

Lovely cafe, nice selection of freshly baked cakes.

Lovely tearoom, offering good range of options for breakfast, lunch and afternoon tea, at reasonable prices. Soup was delicious

Friendly, tucked away treat. Excellent value and will be returning soon.

Hi We had afternoon tea. All 5 stars as service was exceptional the food/drink was amazing. My family enjoyed it. The 1st time I had visited and I would go back. Highly recommended. The tearoom is really nice and with the view of the clock tower. Why don't you try it like me and I am sure you will enjoy. Oh a the staff are young they were very hospitable and pleasant.

Absolutely lovely! From start to finish, the staff were lovely and friendly. The food was fresh, well presented and delicious. Even better we went on a Sunday, after a brisk walk to The Singing Ringing Tree and were delighted the place was open. Super friendly, good value, we will 100% go back. A brilliant little find.

Visited today for a surprise birthday party for my sister. Greeted very nicely and directed to the upper floor where the 15 of us were served afternoon tea, certainly a quirky way to deliver it and very tasty. Everything was fresh and the cakes were amazing which I believe are all baked by the owner. Martin and Jackie were delightful and even came to sit with us to chat, they went above and beyond to make my sisters day special and I can’t thank them enough for there hospitality. Even though it’s a 25 mile drive we will certainly be returning!

Wanted to like it but was disappointed Tuna sandwich had tasteless mozzarella cheese and came on white bread when ordered brown. Egg on toast.. eggs were hard> Chicken sandwich better.

Met with two friends and we all had lunch... soup and sandwich. Cream of Mushroom soup was very salty and not as expected Tuna Sandwich - ordered brown bread, got white... cheese was tasteless mozzarella. (found it difficult to eat) Chicken sandwich was better Egg on toast- eggs were all hard and dry. Coffee was good. ...but we won't be eating there again

Well worth a visit good food and drinks

A lovely place to stop of on your summer or winter walks down the Liverpool & Leeds canel. The owner is a miserable chap but the coffee & cake is 👌.

A lovely cafe with a brilliant staff. We had a wonderful time having afternoon tea upstairs for a baby shower.

We held a family baby shower here and loved it. Wonderful staff and afternoon tea. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again soon!

Firstly, I hate leaving a negative review, especially about a local business that we have visited often. Secondly, one half of the partnership Jackie, is wonderfully friendly (I've been coming here since I was pregnant with my first son), her food is delicious and her customer service are excellent. In comparison, Martin was once again rude to me - I was meeting my husband and son for an after-school well-done treat. We were told our dog was too big to be allowed to be seated inside - I believe the policy is well-behaved dogs are allowed in. The absolute joke is that myself and the dog have been in many times. There was no allowance made, I said this and she was well-behaved (I'm not the sort of person who would take a dog anywhere) but was told firmly, we could not come in and sit with my family and were made to leave. I'm really sorry to say (as a fellow business owner) this is not customer service at any level - to make no allowances and to split a family event up. If dogs are not allowed please say that. Its not the first time we have received bad customer service here and I have always refrained from reviewing this but I'm afraid this was one time too many.

2nd visit here, and it ticked all the boxes, very friendly staff - yummy breakfast and lovely atmosphere. Don't forget to take a couple of slices of cake home. 😋

Great place to stop and break a long journey, delicious food and friendly service.

Great place. Very good selection of tasty food, served by a very friendly team

Lovely atmosphere, delicious food and very friendly and quick service. Love this place.

Excellent staff and delicious food.

Really nice cafe. I sat outside in the back no view but a sun trap. Had coffee and cake excellent. Very pleasant young lady serving today Saturday 17 September

We enjoyed the food and service. Toilets were not easily accessible, we felt stairway was suitable for those less able.

Food was lovely although the man who works there I think the manager had a right cob on him, must not have had his horlicks the night before. Could do with smiling.

The best afternoon tea I've ever had! Every bite was delicious from start to finish. The staff were fantastic and very accommodating with our last minute sandwich change request. I can't wait to go back and sample the rest of the menu 😋

Lovely tea room, managed to fit us in even though we hadn't booked. Had a brew and a scone which was lovely. For three drinks and three cakes the price was good as well. We will visit again to try lunch as the table next us was ordering their choices and it sounded very good.

Nice little tea room nice staff and a little menu home made food Nice to call at after a walk along the Leeds Liverpool canal.

Haven't been for a while, but have visited 3 or 4 times in the past, always been good. Met up with my brother and his wife today and the food and service is still excellent. Three of us had the soup and sandwich, my brother the meat and potato pie, with drinks then a cake each. Everything spot on, highly recommended.

Lovely relaxing atmosphere. Nice situation. Good food.

Beautiful Cafe / friendly staff

We visited for my mum’s birthday and were happy to find that it was a lovely tearooms with a gorgeous afternoon tea with a large variety of homemade cakes. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, we will definitely be back.

Surprise, Birthday Afternoon Tea, Window table upstairs, views Church tower, Very welcoming staff, polite, efficient, friendly,chatty. Afternoon Tea served in individual whicker picnic baskets, with option of glass of Prosecco , Beautifully presented and delicious. Would 100% return.

Lovely afternoon tea with a friend. Friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. The tearoom also sells little plant pots, coffee, jam etc.

Had a lovely lunch at Wheelton tea rooms. I would advise though if you are visiting it to book ahead. Two of us went at lunch on a Thursday afternoon and all the tables were booked. Sat at a small coffee table.

Quaint little tea room, staff are always happy to help, been a couple of times and I haven’t booked and the staff were able to fit myself and my little boy in. Mushroom soup is the best I have tasted. My son loves the picnics...

We ordered afternoon tea to collect for Mother’s Day, simply couldn’t believe the amount and quality of food for the price. Absolutely fantastic, we’ve eaten in before lockdown too and it was just as good

Nice snacks etc, and a lovely cross section of special locally supplied foods. Parking can be difficult, better to park around the corner.

Super little find in the sleepy village of wheelton near Chorley.Called today on a typical grey November afternoon.Bright lights and welcoming staff somewhat lifted the spirits.Fresh homemade cakes and shortbreads beckoned to you from their protective covering. A pot of loose leaf tea with as many top ups as you needed was willingly offered.A simple order from an extensive menu, Quality all round.A gem.

The food is excellent, cheese and onion pie is classic. Service is good and friendly. The tea room is spotless.

Perfect. A great welcome. Food excellent and sensible prices. Cheese and onion pie tasty. Beef sandwich top quality. 3 steps to get in .5 to get to top floor. Not wheelchair accessible. Old building so not possible to adapt.

We discussed with Jackie an afternoon tea party for my wife's 80th birthday and 12 relatives. She was very accommodating and very flexible with seating arrangements, food and drink. The presentation on the day was excellent and the quality of the food could not have been better. It is unusual to enjoy the taste of homemade food and the quality of food we received. The staff were brilliant. They were friendly and efficient even to the point of taking photographs to record our special occasion. The afternoon proved to be well above our expectations. The amount of food meant that most us were going home with carry bags. Our thanks for the home made Victoria sponge birthday cake with candles and large balloon which now adorns our kitchen. This was our first visit and certainly not the last. Mike

Popped in on our Satdy ride. Highly recommend this Cafe. Welcomed with swift friendly service. No problem serving 15 cyclists on a Saturday afternoon. Most of us opted for sandwiches and a brew, Excellent, clean, facilities. Not sure how they'd see things if we was wet and muddy. But not a problem today.

Visited on a Sunday a few weeks ago with a friend. We had booked to have afternoon tea, 1 of which was vegetarian. We were seated upstairs next to the window and were quickly offered any drink from the menu to accompany our afternoon tea (surcharge for alcohol). Drinks quickly arrived and so did our afternoon tea. Presented in a small picnic basket with a cup of soup on the side. Everything was delicious. My cream of mushroom soup was to die for and has definitely got to be the best soup I’ve ever had. Sandwiches and quiche were also great and the cakes and scone were fabulous. We were that full we had to take some cake home with us! Lovely afternoon and staff were very friendly, attentive and polite. Can’t wait to visit again!

Visited to use a gift voucher for Afternoon Tea and was delighted at the fare on offer. This was truly a small village tearoom very traditionallly kitted our with a warm wrap around feeling. A table had been reserved and a friendly staff member showed us to it and explained what was on offer. There was an extensive hot and cold drinks menu and a choice of soup between Broccoli and Stilton or Golden Veg. Chose the former and the small but more than adequate starter was delicious. The food was served in a cute little basket holding 3 different sandwiches, a slice of quiche and a collection of cakes including a scone with butter, jam and clotted cream as well as a shortbread biscuit. The presentation was excellent and as we were unable to finish the whole offering, bags were offered for us to take remaining cakes home. All this for £12.50pp. On the normal menu there was a good variety of dishes as well as a board showing the soup of the day, pie of the day and dessert. Everything was very reasonably priced and I envied a customer tucking into a full bowl of that beautiful Broccoli and Stilton soup. It was interesting to note that the food contents were locally sourced. Another visit is on the cards - and very soon!

Went here for my birthday with some friends.we had booked for afternoon tea.it was really good, came in little picnic baskets which were unusual but a nice change from the usual cake stands. Good was great and service was excellent. The staff even sang happy birthday to me, which was really nice of then

The lunch I shared with a friend was very tasty the Welsh rabbit was excellent. The staff are friendly. Booking is essential at lunchtime

Visited just for cake and drinks. What a cute tearoom! Lovely location in the village with a view of the clock tower across the road. Seating both up and downstairs as well as outside. Lovely selection of cakes. Very helpful and efficient staff. Would definitely return.

We visited The Village tearoom today as a group of 5. We had booked for afternoon tea. Beautiful as always with great attention to detail.I have an allergy and they had sourced a substitute for me which was delicious. The staff are great, the tearoom is very well run and a great place to catch up with friends.

I’ve been advised to try here so often, but have never had the opportunity to before. But today, was going to be the day. What a brilliant place - I’d have given it 6-star, if I could!Lovely and quaint village setting, very accessible nonetheless, extremely friendly and accommodating staff and customers, popular, delicious and generous portions of freshly prepared local produce, reasonably priced and a clean and stylish interior. Absolutely brilliant place! Will definitely return and recommend!

I visited with 7 friends on Sunday for my hen do afternoon tea.My friend and daughter had kindly been allowed to decorate the walls and table.Unfortunately some of the guests were late but that didn't seem to bother the staff at all.We were asked for which soup were wanted out of 3 options, the tomato soup was absolutely delicious as were the others I was told.we had the afternoon tea baskets as were pre-ordered and they didn't disappoint one bit. Fresh sandwiches and very tasty quiche plus an overload of lovely cakes.we were also given bags to take home any leftover cakes.To top of the experience the owner recognised me even though it was 3 years ago since I saw her last.Will definitely come back soon.Highly recommended

I haven’t been to the Village Tearoom in years even though I live close buy but decided to visit here for lunch for a catch up with a friend. We went for the lighter bite afternoon tea which is the same as the normal afternoon tea but minus the soup and the cakes. It was really nice and good value for money and even better that they offer a lighter choice as often I find afternoon tea to include too much which just ends up going to waste. The quiche was especially lovely and prior to visiting I asked for one of the sandwich fillings to be changed and also requested a plain scone and this was no trouble at all!

Rang ahead to book a table and was told the one we wanted was free. Arrived to be told it wasn’t and we were squeezed into a corner with one of us facing a wall - which was why I rang ahead to request a specific table at the back of the cafe. Food still nice but the children’s basket at £6.25 was anything but good value - two of the sandwiches are always ham and two are always cheese - but this time the cheese was Philadelphia which isn’t everyone’s taste and so my daughter only ate the two ham. So £6.25 for two triangles of ham sandwiches, a few Pom bear crisps, a mini shortbread, a chocolate and a scone. Shame as we usually enjoy our visit.

We had breakfast here just passing through the area, the cafe is set on different levels with good decor. Atmosphere was good. Service was very friendly. The food was excellent, cream cheese and salmon bagels were lovely (great cream cheese) and porridge was amazing with lots of cream. Good coffee.Will definitely be back.

We haven't been to the tearooms for a while due to work commitments etc but visited for lunch - nothing's changed, it's still serving delicious fresh food and busy as ever! Children's afternoon tea basket still a hit with my daughter, as is the soup and sandwich combo!

I visited here with my mum for a birthday treat. A great find! I throughly enjoyed the afternoon but I have given it 4* as I personally would have liked more savoy and less sweet stuff. A good selection and nicely presented. Good service. I would visit here again. Loved the mushroom soup.

Visited with a friend, had a lovely latte and Bakewell tart. Great service , good value and would visit again .

Been before and it was very good. Today my daughter’s chicken sandwich was ‘slippy’ and my pie’s pastry was soggy.Clearly a very popular tea room. However, the proprietors need to keep an eye on the quality of the food and ensure that they don’t become complacent.

We visited the tea room for afternoon tea. This was served in a wicker basket. The food was nice. The only reason I haven’t given this an excellent star rating is that I could only eat half of the sweet desserts as some contained raisins or currants which I don’t like. I also would have preferred a different choice of sandwiches.I would visit again hoping that there would be something different to eat.

Another visit to the Village Tearoom to meet friends and once again delivers great food. Never disappointed.

My daughter booked afternoon tea for my 50th Birthday and what a delight. The tea was served in mini picnic hampers with a delicious mini tea cup of soup (we loved the tomato and courgette/pepper). The gluten free quiche went down a storm too. Sandwich fillings were tasty and the scone with jam/cream was super.The gluten free quiche went down a storm too :-)

This is a lovely tearoom! The food was very nice and the staff were all very friendly. We will definitely be returning.

I was given a voucher for afternoon tea by a friend for my birthday (65th) We rang up and booked a table for Saturday lunchtime rather than afternoon, we were greeted nicely and shown immediately to our table, then we were asked which soup we preferred with our tea. The food came in individual wicker baskets, full of lovely things to eat, it was a bit heavy on the cakes and I would have liked more sandwiches but it was truly excellent, very tasty and obviously home made. The son of the owners was very proud to inform us that his mum made all the lovely things in our baskets. Would definitely recommend this cafe to everyone.
