My husband and I both enjoyed sparkling afternoon tea on new years eve afternoon. The hotel is very quaint and it's like stepping back in time it was nicely decorated for Christmas. We had a window seat which overlooked the front drive and the garden's which look amazing, it was a shame it was raining as we would have liked to have a look around them. The afternoon tea was lovely not overwhelming but enough to make you feel satisfied. We liked the mismatched China cups,saucers and side plates which went well with the white linen table cloths. Our first visit to this hotel but certainly won't be our last. Thank you and a happy new year to you all.

I have been coming to Mere Court for years and have enjoyed afternoon tea with many friends and family. It is a beautiful place with peaceful surroundings and that old fashioned calming ambiance. The afternoon tea is a selection of freshly made sandwiches and cakes as well as scones with jam and cream. The choice of tea or coffee is available and all is served on beautiful mismatched china to complement the surroundings. The staff are amazing and very attentive! Maria knows us so well now! I adore this place and will continue to be a regular here x

A bit disappointing. A significant number of dishes on the menu were not available. Some of the food that we did have was also poor and service was slow. It seemed under staffed. The manager did later apologise when I paid our bill and explained the limited menu was due to delivery of food had not been made due to the Xmas week.

We have been to two Murder Mystery nights and have enjoyed a lovely meal, built new friendships and loved the actors who performed on the night! The food was great as was the camaraderie between everyone who attended! A great night was had by all! We will be back

THE ALVANLEY HAS ALWAYS BEEN S GREAT PLACE FOR FOOD. THIS VISIT WAS NO DIFFERENT. THE STAFF ARE ALWAYS VERY HELPFUL AND THE SUNDAY LUNCHES ARE VERY GOOD

Yet again we had another beautiful meal on boxing day. Took our parents and they were very impressed. Service was quick and and very friendly .

Brilliant food and staff and a perfect way to spend Xmas day. Thank you and will see you soon

Busy (well it was Christmas week) lunchtime visit. As always a very warm welcome & shown straight to our table. Team here are always friendly even when rushed off their feet. Nothing too much trouble for them. We weren't having the Christmas menu & opted for the Beef & Ale pie, cheips & veg. Excellent food, well cooked & piping hot. Table nearby were having the Christmas meal & it looked excellent - couldn't argue with the portion sizes either. A favourite of ours & we look forward to being back in the New Year.

A very good dining experience all round

A lovely Christmas themed afternoon tea. Great staff very accommodating and the right amount of privacy.

Great food and very comfortable atmosphere.

Food was fantastic as was the atmosphere and friendly staff

Recently had an excellent meal at Spurstow. Fantastic food and service as usual. Been eating there for over 25 years. Management is absolutely superb never had a complaint in all those years

Food and staff excellent never had a bad meal all the time we have been going

What a wonderful time we had. We booked a meal after my dad’s 80th birthday ‘I-fly’ in Manchester and it did not disappoint on any level. Fabulous food, super service, delightful decor, an exquisite experience all round. Everyone made my dad feel really special as did the other dinners (who I think were lucky to be more local than us - thus can visit more easily and enjoy the lovely wine!) We will be back…and I would strongly recommend a visit. It’s certainly worth the trip…
