Sunday lunch 26th jan 2025. Was quite nice. Roast lamb lovely but roast potatoes dry. Too much broccoli but cabbage and carrots nice and gravy tasty. Service good an liquor coffee lovely. Be better if they told you what the veg would be then one could choose which to have. Didn't have dessert so cant comment on that. A pleasant experience over all

Visited Elmas for a meal on Saturday evening with family. The restaurant was busy and very noisy. My granddaughter found it a bit too loud for her so she went outside a few times. The service was really good and the food was excellent and hot when it was served. We all enjoyed our meal! we would definitely visit again but probably when it is a little quieter at lunchtime in the future as opposed to a Saturday evening. Our starters were lovely spring rolls and spare ribs which were very tasty. I had the rigatoni filleto pasta for my main I can highly recommend it as it was delicious. Thankyou!

My son and I had a lovely meal here yesterday, we were seated right in the middle and the fire made it feel very cosy. Food was lovely, service was good, we will definitely be back.

A very good experience

Very nice pleasent setting. Food was very good, portions were perfect for a 3 course meal. Fairly priced! Will definitely visit again.

Second time we have been here. Attended for our daughters birthday. Great quality home cooked food. Lovely place. We came back because of the food and service last time. Unfortunately, we were disappointed with the service, this time which was really slow and staff seemed a bit abrupt when bringing food to us. Only seemed to be three members of staff to serve food/drinks, and it was really busy. We will go back, but hopefully, next time, we will meet with a warmer welcome.

Great atmosphere. We were staying in a hotel a couple of miles down the road and didn’t fancy eating there. Found the pub on google maps, checked the menu and booked online. Food was great, especially the puds. My wife had the Eaton mess which was huge, and I had the Belgian waffle. Both were superb.

We've had recommendations to go and finally made it, where we weren’t disappointed! Friendly staff and great food-menu is varied but hit the spot! Will happily recommend and we will return!

Lunch with friends is always a pleasant experience here. The set menu is good value and delicious. The staff are always polite and attentive and the restaurant is clean, excellent all round!

Four of us had a lunch at The Plough. Nice place, but has music on constantly which is always a minus for us. Food and service were good and good value.

Highly recommended 3 very good courses served by excellent staff clean and tidy . A real restaurant the way they used to be , a credit to the owner, will put it on our regular restaurant to go to. James & Rowena thank you for a memorable night.

Went for lunch with a friend and I have to say, I really enjoyed it. I had the quiche and salad and it was delicious. Well presented, good size portions. Didn’t have to wait too long for the meal to arrive. Reasonably priced. I recommend a visit, however I suggest you book a table, it gets very busy.

I had lunch at the Alvanley Arms Tarporley with friends, and the pub is lovely, with a nice big car park, the food was delicious and hot, which is fantastic as most pubs only seem to serve warm food these days. The only negative is it was understaffed, the pub was reasonably full, but unfortunately. But there seemed to be only one person serving the whole pub, therefore the waiting times were a little longer than we hoped, also when you did ask her for something, sometimes it would be forgotten because she was so busy, she also seemed a little stressed obviously with her being rushed off her feet, and therefore we didn't receive the happy smiley service you would expect.

Excellent meal and great service.

The food was delicious and can’t fault that. But it was a Saturday night there was 7 of us and it wasn’t busy but we felt that the staff wanted to rush us. They kept asking were we ready to start and we were still waiting for 2 people to arrive and we weren’t booked in for another half a hour. Also through the night constantly hovering around etc and we all felt that they wanted to finish up and leave. If it had been busy and they needed the table I would have understood but I feel they wanted a early finish.

Food absolutely spot on and the service is first class. Nothing is too much trouble.

Another lovely meal at the Alvanley. Food and service excellent as always.

We visited for Sunday lunch - was excellent, as always. It’s great food and great value and def recommend. We visited again a few hours later - for coffee and pudding. It’s not the first time we’ve done this - too full after the lunch, but a trip to take our son back to university, unpack etc and drive back, means we then have the space to enjoy pudding while trying to stay awake on the comfy sofas. We will definitely be returning.
