Towers in Cheshire West and Chester

The afternoon tea was lovely. Good selection of sandwiches and cakes. tables laid with table cloths. friendly staff.

After a shopping trip in Chester with my mother and grandmother we found this lovely and friendly cafe and as it was beautiful weather we sat outside :) the staff were extremely helpful and we had a lovely meal . The jacket potato was amazing and I couldn’t fault them. Also had a fantastic milkshake ... :) be back soon so glad I found this little place :) ❤️

Beautiful and clean. The staff were lovely. The food was plentiful and excellent and well priced. Well worth a visit.

First of all I’d like to say how lovely the staff were here. This review does not reflect on how attentive and helpful the front of house and waiting staff were. But it’s purely how the food. We paid nigh on £20 for a poorly executed Croque Monsieur and Welsh rarebit. Croque Monsieur was a very average bacon and cheese toastie whilst the Welsh rarebit was one thin slice of tasteless cheese on toast. I’m not usually one for writing bad reviews but we felt like this place should offer a better quality of food if they are going to charge £6 for one slice of cheese on toast with a side salad. There’s a big market for cafe’s In Chester and £6 can get some great snacks but unfortunately this wasn’t one of them

The table was beautifully laid complete with table cloth. There was a really good selection of food including home made cakes and sweet plus savoury scones - delicious and well presented on a 3-tier cake stand. We had prosecco with coffee to follow. Courteous, attentive and friendly service. They even packed up the cake we couldn't finish to take home with us.

Great little find. Hidden away but well worth rooting out. Had sandwich and gluten-free scones, jam & cream with tea. Sounds simple but GF scones are not easy to make, especially to make well - these were excellent. Had two and bought two to go. Thanks!

Absolutely wonderful Victoria sandwich sponge cake and tea, sweet little patio seating w/nice view of the cathedral. A really nice place to take an afternoon break!

We've been here before (see previous reviews). First place on the map when visiting Chester for lunch. Not any more, I'm afraid. Our latest experience was a really big let down. New (contracted) menu, increased prices, cheap ingredients...................Not the eating experience that we'd come to expect. Surprising really, due to the preponderance of other eateries nearby, & slightly further afield, in Chester. Maybe it's the English disease? You know, the one where the response to falling takings is to increase prices & cheapen everything else. Ultimate goal? One table per day at £1000 a pop? Job done. Really disappointed.

Recommended by a friend at the gym for lunch with a special friend. All of the staff were very friendly. Food was lovely. We had soup and a sandwich and coffee. Beautifully presented and tasted lovely!

Two of us shopping in Chester beginning to flag. Had lunch here lovely long drinks with soda water. Both had fish cakes with a salad. There were three large fish cakes very scrummy and filling. Service excellent everywhere nice and clean. Couldn't fault it excellent place for lunch.

Leuke zaak in een verrassend mooie stad. Ideaal voor een lunchpauze of tea break met een stevig stuk taart. We hebben hier een jacket potato gegeten (de ene met tonijn, de andere met champignons). Zeer royale portie voor een lunch! Zeer vriendelijke bediening, leuk decor vlakbij de kathedraal.

We visit Chester regularly and came across this tearoom by chance. Good mushroom soup to start with followed by Coronation chicken sandwich for my wife and I had cheese and onion quiche with salad. All the food was very good well prepared and tasty.

The Towers can be found in a small walkway just alongside the cathedral and from the outside this small restaurant is deceptive. Once inside the staff are very welcoming and provide a warm atmosphere with a good range of wholesome foods. Nothing too exotic but extremely good value for money. The food is home cooked and served by an excellent friendly staff

Just 20 yards along the City Walls away from the Eastgate Clock, the bustling crowds and overlooking the Cathedral is this lovely well maintained restaurant. We stopped for afternoon tea, with an excellent choice of teas and all cakes home made with TLC. Scones were very light and excellent with the jam and cream or cream and jam!! Will definitely return for lunch next time.

Shhhhh ! Please don't tell everyone how absolutely brilliant Towers is for lunch! On a Good Friday stroll around the Walls we saw the outdoor area and stopped for lunch and a beer - fantastic value, delightful staff and lovely food. A chilled Peroni was the perfect match with the Tuna Chilli Rarebit and so much nicer than any pub-grub. Manager / Staff could not have been more helpful, allowing us to access the terrace via the side gate with our gentle black lab who was also delighted with the staff filling his water bowl for him! This is now top of my list for any future visits to Chester - we will be back whenever we bring friends to the City for the day. I can see an afternoon Tea happening soon since we were too full from lunch to sample the exquisite-looking cakes! Please don't change a thing and let it remain a well-kept secret for those of us who have found you.

We were tipped off to visit this independent place by a local shopkeeper. Its located right by the Cathedral. We got a lovely friendly welcome and were shown to a table right away. We had coffee and real tea in a pot and a fabulous piece of lemon and white chocolate cake which i had to share with my wife. Obviously hand made and absolutely top drawer. Cost really reasonable and a class above the many chain coffee shops in every city. Will certainly revisit when in Chester. Well decorated interior and clean well kept toilets also.

Found this cafe while walking around the City Walls. We were fortunate enough to get a table outside in the April sun with a great view of the Cathedral. There's a long list of teas available on the menu and the cakes are good. Friendly and quick service.

Absolutely lovely! What a lovely coffee shop/tea room. We went for lunch and it was lovely all homemade and good size portions. Lovely staff and very clean and tidy. I love the wallpaper in the toilets.

When we visit Chester we always make it a point to have lunch here. Never disappointed. Excellently prepared & presented fresh fare. Clean & cosy surroundings. Pleasantly quiet. One gripe is the table service can be a little, hm, clattery, with plates arriving onto the table from quite a height, from one particular individual! Still, doesn't detract (for me) from an all round enjoyable experience, although it might for some. Needs addressing. pricing is attractive too, for a standard of fare that you can pay much more for. Once again, thoroughly recommended.

Hidden away but what a find. Extensive menu of teas and coffees...but the cake...mmmm! Lunches looked good too, but I was too full of cake to indulge further

Lovely and relaxing atmosphere and very friendly and helpful staff. Stopped in for hour to have some tea and cake and thoroughly enjoyed it, would recommend.

We've been here before when it was called Beatons. Both times have been first class events. Situated right next to the Cathedral (& Tower!), accessed by pathway. Fantastic selection of lunchtime meals & snack. Really, really fine & tasty food. Proper coffee, too. selection of teas, including home selection. All first class. Really recommended if you're in Chester - look it up. You won't be disappointed. Did I mention that it's all reasonably priced, too. Can't beat it. Would have got 5 stars for service had the young lady who served us, twice (we went back later for cakes & coffee), not been in a bit of a strop.

Oasis of quiet in the middle of Chester. Plenty of space, friendly staff and excellent food. The choice of types of tea was particularly impressive.

My husband had the full English breakfast and I had the Towers eggs Benedict. Both very good. I would have preferred my coffee served after, or even with my breakfast and a free 2nd cup would have been appreciated. My husband had a pot of (loose leaf) tea which gave him two cups and, apparently was very good.

Generous sandwiches with seasonal fillings! A good place to stop for a light lunch while enjoying the shopping in Chester.

After having a walk around the beautiful cathedral, we decided a hot chocolate and cake would be in order. Our order was taken quickly and our drinks came after about five minutes but no cake. After we had give up waiting and watched them serve other people, i went to chase it down. The guy who had served us must have been very busy because he didn’t have time to look at me or show any manners i simply got a yeah it’s coming. most of our hot chocolate later they came. We will be going to chester again but will happily avoid this establishment.

Visited for the first time this morning, having walked passed many times. Very friendly staff. Coffee was nice.

Walked past this place a couple of times and it’s always packed. Decided to stop for on a busy Saturday in December, so we were lucky to get a table. I had lovely homemade mushroom soup and the biggest piece of carrot cake. Very good value and good service.

What a hidden gem! Lovely to sit in a pleasant place with excellent food and speciality teas.

This is a fantastic cafe. Me, my fiancée and (at the time) 7 month old daughter went to Chester for the weekend back in early October. We went to Towers for breakfast on the Saturday and enjoyed it so much went there again on the Sunday.

this is my third time in this local,. It is my favorite place in chester: i love the menu, the atmosphere, the decoration and the sercive.

Just off the walls, next to the Cathedral - well worth searching out - we went for breakfast prior to our sons graduation at the nearby Cathedral

Attractive tea room near the cathedral and city walls. Toilets very good. The only problem was the food, as we obviously caught them on a bad day, judging by the above comments. The tea was good and there is a good selection. We had Japanese green tea.

First visit to this tucked away cafe. Situated next to the majestic cathedral, we were pleasantly surprised by the spacious feel. The staff were friendly and welcoming. There was an excellent choice of food, well presented and very tasty.

We visited back in the summer and were lucky to be able to sit out in the decking in the sunshine, great food

We came here after a walk around the Chester walls a few days ago and although busy we were still greeted by pleasant and attentive staff. The group went for sandwiches but I decided to treat myself to a coffee and cake! What a treat it was! Home made cake and coffee so delicious I had to have a second!

Came here just after it turned independent. Fantastic service, with scrumptious food and dozens of teas and coffees providing the perfect accompaniment.

We have visited here regularly when it was part of The Beatons Group and always thoroughly enjoyed the food. The staff have stayed & are friendly & attentive. Delicious cake & huge selection of teas.
