The Wizard Tearoom in Cheshire East

We wre enjoy s family outing walking along alderley edge this tearoom was perfectly placed by the national trust car park we decided to pop in and we had a cheese and onion toastie and a festive bap to say the food was top quality was a understatement honestly I've never tasted such a amazing sandwich the staff were very polite friendly and a wonderful setting I even want back to tell them in person the food was amazing will be going back for seconds well worth a vist

I was really looking forward to my visit but was left disappointed for the following reasons. Unless you're a National Trust member it's £5 to park. All seating is outside where orders are taken from a hatch then you're name called to go and collect your items ordered, no table service.The tea came in a paper cup with the teabag in and milk already added, no teapots or even milk to add to your own taste.The soup came with croutons which were sourdough strips that was so hard I was concerned about breaking my teeth so left them to soak into the soup, there was no bread roll with the soup. The cake came in a paper bag, no plates. After finishing there is a self clear station. It cost £24 for 2 soups 2 cakes and 2 teas, rather expensive when you have to serve yourself and clear up. It all felt like an outdoor transport cafe rather than a tearooms.

We visited the Wizard Tea Rooms while attending a corporate volunteering day at Alderley Edge National Trust Park, and what a treat the Tea Rooms were! From start to finish, my colleague and I had easy communication with the lovely ladies who run the tea rooms - Harriet and Rachel. They provided us with the menu and prices in advance of the day, and we decided to opt for teas and coffees in the morning, soup and sandwiches for lunch, and another round of teas of coffees after lunch for our group of 26. One week on and I'm still talking about the delicious mushroom and garlic soup, cheese and beetroot sandwiches, BLTs and egg mayo sandwiches! We felt everything was reasonably priced, and the ladies took great care of us on the day -nothing was too much trouble. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Wizard Tea Rooms to friends and family, or corporate companies. In fact, I will be back to visit with my kids and dog for an ice cream (yes they do doggy ice cream too!) Also - the venue itself is gorgeous - seating indoors (all 26 fit inside), but plenty outside too. Really charming old-world feel inside the tea room which we all loved. Many thanks to the wonderful staff for looking after us so well - Alison and James.

Lovely but quite pricey. £16.50 for 2 small coffees and 2 portions of toasted tea bread. My main disappointment was the long 10-15 minute gap between the drinks arriving and the tea bread being ready. Why couldn't they serve the whole order at the same time? No bins for dog poo bags anywhere. Toilets back in the car park. Tea bread was beautiful though.

Lovely place but felt rather sad after a visit today. We had had a little bit of a stressful morning and took the children out for an ice cream treat. My little boy (almost 2) dropped his within seconds of the lady handing it over… I apologised and said, ‘oh dear, would it please be possible for him to have another?’ At which she replied, ‘he can but we will have to charge’. We didn’t have the money so had to sacrifice the ice cream and he was in floods of tears. He ended up with mine (obviously, which didn’t bother me at all). But I did leave with a rather sad feeling that they wouldn’t give him another after we paid £16 for 4 ice creams. Whatever happened to kindness and gesture of good will? :(

OK venue (outdoors only) but my mocha was watery and over priced. Also they call up when your food is ready on a loudspeaker, which is unpleasant

First and last time visiting this place! Limited menu, didn't get what I ordered! Wanted a cheese bap for my 1 year old grandson but told couldn't just have cheese had to hsve beetroot with it! Ran out of many items on limited menu! Long wait for food! NO toilet facilities or baby changing facilities! No place for dirty nappies to be disposed of! Toilets located across car park, wet floor, smelt of pee!

Only outside usable. No toilet facilities open at cafe. Not cheap for size of coffee. Ok visit.

Very nice cakes but why aren't prices shown at the point of sale? Thought this was required by law. I was told 'most places don't now!'

Very good ice cream, nice staff and lovely surroundings.

Nice area to either start or finish your walk around Alderly Edge. Right next to the large car park. Quite a few seats, some covered from the rain. It's on the expensive side, but where isn't these days. It was slow service getting drinks, you order then sit and they call out your name when your order is complete.

Stopped here after a walk around Alderly Edge for a cake and drink. Cakes were very yummy but the hot drinks were tepid and it was all on the expensive side. Wouldn't mind the price so much but it wasn't table service or anything and there wasn't even indoor seating. Plus the outside wasn't smoke free so if someone's smoking you don't even have the option to be away from it. Seems a shame as it could be lovely but I don't think I'd go again

So glad we found this place, it's perfect after your walk around the edge, carpark is £5, food is fantastic and reasonably priced.

Excellent Tearoom and atmosphere

I only had coffee I can't comment fully on food and service. However the customers area outside looks very nice clean and tidy.

My husband and I went to Wizard Tearoom as part of a day only to find it closed with a sign on the door saying 'private functions only'. We were veey disappointed as there was no signs of this in there website, Facebook page or on their google profile. It was an hours drive drom where we live and we had to find somewhere else to eat. The Wizards Tearoom has been on my list of places to visit for a while so I was pretty unhappy.

Nice little café, but watch the prices. Very few price tags on display so ask first. £3.45 for a tea with oat milk is excessive.. 😬

Wonderful ! It was just lovely not visited for around 25 years ! Just as atmospheric & beautiful as ever xx

Sat and ate our cream scone while watching the robins

The staff are polite and dedicated to the service they provided. The seating area are naturally designed. Quite a comfortable place to have a cup there.

Very pleasant and bucolic setting... Friendly staff.

Slow service but excellent food and coffee

Based at the start of a lovely woodland walk. It's a National Trust park so parking has to be paid for. The food is very good quality and very tasty. Staff are very friendly and welcoming. You can only eat outside, but they provide covered seating areas. The bacon is really good! Great for all walkers and their doggy companions

Amazing tea and coffee. Such a warm atmosphere at this place. Pods a cool addition. Made arrangements regarding hiring the inside for an event in June. Will be sure to post some pictures

Brilliant little window service /outdoor cafe. It’s worth visiting after a walk round the park.

Lovely little spot to get a brew and a bite to eat, even if the food is not that great and prices are high

The food they offer seem to be all of good quality as my group ordered various items and all were happy with it. Their drinks are nice and strong, sweets aren't overly sweet.

Amazing food and drinks and beat bey the excellent customer service and friendly staff.

Great place for a coffee hot chocolate and yummy homemade cakes. Outdoor seating only.

Okay, i’m not sure how to rate this place as I would never choose to eat outside in winter as the inside is still not open. However the food and drinks were nice, especially the hot chocolate. They were very busy but seem to have a good routine, so I doubt they will reopen inside as they have less cost being outside but still as busy. Blankets are available to help keep warm. But we were still cold. Outdoor heaters would be brilliant here. They ask you to clear your own table so they don’t have to, this is easy to do with the system they have in place. Would I come here again.. in summer definitely and winter just for a on the go hot drink.

If you like outdoors, lovely location, good coffee and a very fresh tasty scone! Quite pricey though.

Expensive. £14 for two cakes and two drinks to take away. Hot chocolate was not hot but luke warm. Brownie a little on the dry side.

Great place to stop before or after your walk!

Super tasty bap, but a little hard to eat because of all the fillings. I suggest for the bigger ones, they should use bigger baps!

This place is just beautiful, specially on a frosty morning, great to enjoy a coffee and cake and of course the delicious toasted cheese, I’ll definitely be taking my family and friends, great for the kids to explore after a bite to eat. I have to say the staff are so caring and polite, also so efficient!!! Thank you, looking forward to visit again for a slice of cake and the yummy baileys hot choccy!!

Nice bacon and sausage bap and coffee. Good seating outside

This is an awesome cafe! The lady who served me was so helpful as I have dietary restrictions and she helped me out so much! I ended up having a delicious lunch and I was so grateful 🥹

Canteen type service and self clearing of tables so I can’t give more than three stars for service. paper cups and outside seating. Food is pretty good, staff are lovely.

The food is passable, but expensive, £17.20 for 1 sausage sandwich, 1 egg and sausage sandwich and 2 x teas, (in paper cups. Busy period, but a very long wait for food. Could do with a bigger seating area, and more staff to meet demands.

After “The Wizard’s Wander at Aderley Edge “ tour we rested in the teahouse. Very cozy cottage. If you're there, go in!

Alderley Edge tea room, lovely people and atmosphere

Not bad. Expensive. Not a tearoom, it's outdoor seating.

What a lovely place. Food was brilliant. Service was amazing and friendly and the location just wonderful. Highly recommend.

Bought a masala chai from there, and it was awful. Not one to leave poor reviews but take drinks off the menu which you can't make correctly. That is most definitely not a Masala Chai. There was no taste to it at all. Very expensive for a drink which is nowhere near like a Masala Chai.

Fantastic after a visit down the mine a walk or both!

Beautiful place, really friendly staff, it was busy but service was still quick. The sausage rolls are amazing!

Food & service is amazing here highly recommend ! It is outside seating currently so bring some bug spray as I did get bit quite a lot

One of my favourite coffee stops

Nice place to visit after a nice walk

Love coming up here for a woodland walk and stopping off at the tearooms. The staff are so warm and friendly and the coffee is to die for!! The food is well worth the money especially with the quality of products

I love to go out for an early morning walk with my little dog, and to have a lovely hot coffee and fresh morning bakes every day is such a nice touch. Staff are always happy and smiley even first thing in the morning 😊 I enjoy the outdoor space all year around, gorgeous in the sun, and well prepare in the winter with blankets and seat pads.

Regularly visit here when out walking the dogs. The staff are super lovely and friendly, coffee is great and they have an amazing selection of homemade bakes. The woodland seating area is beautiful surrounded by all the gorgeous flowers they’ve planted! Can’t recommend it enough 🥰

Lovely child and dog friendly spot. Amazing selection of cakes to eat after a tasty bacon and egg bap

Always a nice place and food but very busy so hard to get seated and can take a while sometimes.

Had a flat white and cake, coffee was very well made and cake was lovely. It was raining so wasnt really anyone else outsise. But me and my rottie Loki enjoyed it . He gives it 5/5 paws

Good stop for cyclists. Pricy though.

Takeaway nibbly bits cake and sandwiches. Had a lovely cup of tea

Really lovely place to come by on your walk. Food and drink good.

Lovely little café at the entrance to Alderley Edge with al fresco seating and a choice of shady and sunny spots. Ordered an egg bap and a sausage bap with drinks. Loved the "clear your own table" concept and waste separation for recycling. Wish more places would do this

Was very nice but a little expensive a slice of cake a can of coke and a scone and coffee was over 18 pounds The walk is ok but a little short If you don’t have much time etc this is a perfect place for a walk

Nice food and drink presented well. Plenty of outside seating. Friendly staff. Just far too expensive. Everything costs double for some reason. £4.50 for a standard (very tiny) smoothie. £7(!) for a bacon&sausage sandwich… and wait for it, £4.50 for a toasted tea cake! Lower your prices. I know it’s a National Trust spot but why rob us? Will bring a picnic next time.

May 2023 ,,,, Mon - Fri closes @ 4.00

Really disappointing and expensive. No vegan options. In the past I’ve asked for mushrooms on toast, (in the absence of a vegan option), and I got lovely field mushrooms on sour dough toast. This time I got a thin covering of slimy mushrooms on a white bap with 3 thin slices of tomato. Pretty poor. Most places have a least a pack of veggie sausages in their freezer! My coffee was nice and husbands breakfast bap was ok, but overall really disappointing for a birthday brunch.

We use this place most weeks after our walk and as mentioned previously, the café still isn't open. This is less of an issue now the weather is improving. There's blurb about the NT and the roof or something but I can't help thinking that the current situation suits. Hardy walkers are warmed up after a walk and in need of refreshment. The business doesn't have heating bills and they don't need waiting staff. They simply take your name, use a loud speaker to call you and you collect. The staff are definitely not warm and chatty, they take your order, fiddle around for ages, put your order out and shout your name. Food is good quality but overpriced, especially as it is in effect, a takeaway.

quality food but a little expensive .

Great little cafe for tea and cake or coffee and bacon buttie, depending on when your visit is half way through the Hare Hill out-and-back walk

No bad but the cakes could be bit more flavourful Would have been nice to see inside but that seems to be closed for the foreseeable 🤔

Nice place to have refreshments after a walk on Alderley Edge. Lovely coffee.

Enjoyed a nice coffee sitting outside here. It was a cold Sunday afternoon but they had lots of blankets. It was quite late on and not too busy but we weren't made to rush. There was lots of choice and the quality and value was really good.

Lovely tea room! First just wanted to start by saying the staff are so so lovely, friendly and welcoming. It's a lovely place to sit, have a coffee, cake or they do serve hot food as well. The cakes are home made and my mum had a scone that was still warm. Definitely stop by if you're out walking. There's lots of outside benches to sit at.

A great place to finish your walk at Alderley Edge, good food, cakes and coffee

Great surroundings, lovely staff, great 👍 espresso!

Lovely friendly atmosphere, staff pleasant. If you're sat at a table you get called to collect your order over the tannoy. They provide water and bowls to give your furry friends a drink too.

Nice outside terrace, sustainability is written in Capitals. My cup of tea was perfect!

Inside still not open. Currently has a poster advertising for someone to join their friendly team, we were tempted to ask if we had the other team as staff felt hostile. Poor veggie choice, bap with cheese on onion or cheese on tomato, didn't want onion, and I don't eat tomatoes i asked to have cheese on mushroom, as my husband was having mushrooms with his sausage & bacon bap. No, that's not a permitted choice. Large latte was lukewarm and cold, all prices expensive. Went here as TripAdvisor recommended, but that looks like distant past. Now seen recent reviews not so good.

Beautiful spot, but can get really busy. Food was worth it though

Good coffee Very good cinnamon roll Great location

Serves the perfect bacon bap. Went here with the girls the morning after my hen and was the best hangover cure. Beautiful walks nearby too

A great spot to stop with the kids and the dog after an explore in the woods. Lovely cakes and drinks, the hot chocolate was a big hit with our son. It's great that they have an announcer to tell people when their order is ready. I don't have any issues with my hearing but I totally missed my name being called, if you had hearing loss of any kind you may struggle to hear the announcement.

At first sight thought it was overpriced but you pay for what you get and I think I may have experienced the best cinnamon bun ever!!!

Popped in yesterday for a couple of coffees and cake what a lovely welcome and professional service ! Coffees were fantastic as were the tasty brownies great to see excellent service and standards

Lovely location Seating is outside but that's fine Starting our motorbike meets here every Monday going forward Looking forward to seeing the club 100+ arriving here throughout the summer

We visited with 4 adults and a child. We all had snacks (soup, pastie or sausage sandwich). They were all very good. Very well attended and quick service too. Just what you need on a cold day!

This is a MUST VISIT if you're vegetarian or vegan. But, even if you're not (like me) it's still a MUST VISIT!!!! The food is absolutely delicious and so tasty, full of flavour and loads of it. Quite expensive but jolly worth it. The sides are enough for two people so don't order one each! The pear pudding was highly recommended by the couple next to us but we were sooooo stuffed so just had a hot choc. Such a lovely place and still in the family so had the same friendliness and atmosphere. Definitely bringing my husband to the taster sessions that were mentioned.

The coffee was good but there is nowhere to go to the toilet and nowhere to sit inside which in the summer is kind of ok but not in the winter when it's really cold. They do provide a few blankets that you can wrap around yourself so fair play to them for trying to help out.

Good vegan food and nice atmosphere. Good walks to the Edge.

Considering they are having to serve out of a hatch at the back of the cafe because of ongoing work on the building, you have to be called when food is ready, the bacon butties were lovely all served with a smile.

Firstly does not take cash . The food is good , the hot chocolate was weak and more water than milk. Staff very friendly and the views from the area are stunning to say the least

Visited Christmas Eve 2022. It was lovely. Tables were set up outside (just a nite that there was no indoor seating) and a live band was playing. Lovely atmosphere. Food and drinks very good. Possibly worth checking closing times as I don't think Google accurate. They closed at 14.30 on Xmas eve.

I love coming here always a treat mid walking my dog 🐕 ❤️

Good hot chocolate after a walk

Only takeaway service at the moment but good service and excellent cake and selection of hot drinks.

Tea is lovely from here! Great walking spot and great to sit with a cup of tea at the end!

A lovely setting for a quick bite to eat and a drink after a walking the edge. The home made soup was extremely nice if not slightly on the expensive side.

Lovely little place to grab a coffee and a light bite after a lovely dog walk. They even have little sausage specifically for dogs 🐕

Still a fabulous treasure on The Edge, even though all the refurbs are ongoing and they're serving take-away food. They've made everywhere as pretty and as special as they can and still serving on cute little China plates💕 Gorgeous hot choc and coffee & walnut cake (so excited to be here again that I took a bite before I photographed🤩😜). My friend had a vegan latte and vegan peanut butter & cacao flapjack thing (I had a taste, it was utterly delicious!). Lovely walk, lovely pit stop😍 #thelittlethings

Sat outside for coffee. Friendly staff.

Lovely coffee and cakes for takeaway and outside seating
