Reviews in Chester

Took my mum for an early Mother’s Day treat for afternoon tea and it absolutely was a treat! Good value for money, generous helping and scrumptious! The staff were attentive and friendly and it had a lovely atmosphere. I would highly recommend.

Food, staff and settling all excellent. Had a lovely relaxing afternoon and would highly recommend

Highly recommend...we had a lovely afternoon tea experience. Both the food and service was fantastic. I had the vegan option and my daughter had the standard option, both excellent. Will return.

Cannot comment on the food as I was told on arrival the restaurant was closed. Booked 2 weeks In advance as it was my partners bday. Received a reminder email on the day. Then told at 4pm it was closed. Nightmare trying to get a reservation else where at short notice.

Lovely afternoon tea on Saturday 29th February 2020. Sandwiches, scones and cakes do fresh. Staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you, will be back soon.

We had afternoon tea for 8 of us. There was plenty of food and it was really lovely. Good finger sandwiches and beautiful cakes. I truly wonderful afternoon.

Limited but excellent choice and beautifully cooked. Reasonably priced. Very attentive waitress. Would recommend and definitely stay and eat here again when next in Chester

Had a set course valentines meal on fri Friday 14 February. Excellent choice and beautifully cooked. Would recommend to anyone. Will stay and eat there again.

Our party of 24 enjoyed the Afternoon Tea, many of us having the the bottomless Prosecco Option. Excellent service - Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, and the food was great. Highly recommend!!!

My favourite restaurant in Chester - great service & food all the time.

Really enjoyed our meal. The restaurant was beautifully coordinated decor wise and food was superb. Ability to use Meercat BOGOF as an added bonus the week before Christmas was great

Another fabulous experience at The Townhouse in Chester. Our afternoon tea was excellent , great choice of food , attentive staff and all within a beautifully festive atmosphere. So lovely to be welcomed by the open fire and a glass of fizz , the perfect way to start off the Christmas celebrations. Well done Townhouse we shall certainly all back !

Evening meal for my sister's birthday while we stayed overnight in Chester. Lovely food, excellent service. Will definitely go back when in Chester again.

We went for an afternoon tea for two and were extremely impressed with the food and the service. The member of staff who looked after us was lovely and really looked after us. The food was delicious, of a high standard and there was plenty of choice. We ended up taking some of the food home because we couldn’t manage to eat all the sandwiches, scones and cakes. Excellent value for money, attractive surroundings too. Having had afternoon teas in other local venues I would definitely recommend as one of the best, certainly the best value for money.

Lovely food, really well presented, great service - just can’t believe how quiet it was on a Saturday evening

Afternoon tea with bottomless prosecco for 4 of us and it was superb! We got a bottle brought to us on arrival which was great as we didn’t need to ask for it, the service was perfect, the food was amazing & nothing was too much trouble! One of the best afternoon teas we’ve had and would highly recommend! Thank you for a great afternoon! :-)

We took advantage of Travelzoo and together with my sister in law four of us had a wonderful experience during the summer eating a first class three course meal outside in the small courtyard. Not only was the food comparable with the best in Chester, but the service was superb as well. Having had such a good experience we decided to buy some more Travelzoo vouchers as my brother in law was coming to stay and wanted to take us all out for a meal at his expense. Well, sadly the food was nothing like the standard we had experienced before, whilst the service was still first class as were the surroundings, the chef/cook must not have been the same one we had been lucky enough to have the first time, the food was a real disappointment. A few weeks later we used up our last voucher and as we were taking a very dear old friend, warned her not to expect too much, again the experience was not like our first visit when it came to the food, although the service was just as good. It is so sad I cannot give this lovely property a first class rating, but, if you rely on getting a good chef and they let you down, no amount of first class interior design and pleasant front of house can make up for a poor meal. If the staff let you down, perhaps it would be better to have a very simple menu, which only uses first class ingredients on the lines of roast ham or roast chicken served in brioche buns, fish and chips and burgers, or really, really good salads, something which can be assembled by anyone provided they have a picture in front of them, not fine dining, but good quality easy to prepare food, asking how you like your steak, then taking no notice, offering obviously different cuts than the ones ordered of poor quality steak could be avoided and at least the food should be edible and enjoyable.
