About Mere Court Restaurant

Nestled in Mere, near Knutsford, in the heart of Cheshire, Mere Court Hotel was originally built in 1903 as a wedding gift for William and Amy Dunkerley. Today, it has been lovingly restored into a luxury country house hotel, set within beautiful landscaped grounds. At the heart of the original house lies the charming Lakeside Restaurant, offering a truly special dining experience. From intimate dinners and business meals to family celebrations, the menu showcases the very best of seasonal ingredients, complemented by an extensive selection of fine wines from around the world. Sundays are made for tradition with a classic roast dinner, while the indulgent afternoon tea – complete with homemade scones, delicate cakes, and freshly prepared sandwiches – can be enjoyed indoors or al fresco in the tranquil gardens.

Food was nice except egg sandwiches which were pale and tasteless. We were sat next to the breakfast table which hadn't been cleaned from serving breakfast. Dirty serving dishes still on the table which were sat on a very stained white table cloth. You would expect all breakfast items to be cleaned and cleared away before serving afternoon tea! The young waiter was very obliging and doing his best but we had to request the prosecco we had ordered

Had 2 evening meals there with my wife while staying at the hotel. We found the food in the restaurant to be excellent, particularly for a hotel. Staff were friendly and efficient. Lovely comfortable room. Very enjoyable experience.

First time visit and we'll be coming back. We booked an afternoon tea for 2 and were thoroughly impressed with the staff, the layout and the whole atmosphere. Harriet on reception greeted us with a smile and pointed us to the restaurant where we were met by Kian, who was lovely and could not do enough for us. The afternoon tea was delicious and just what we needed. After we requested to see some of the rooms, as we wanted to come back, Harriet took us on a tour of the hotel and rooms. We have decided to book and bring friends.

Came with friends for the afternoon tea. Food was lovely and fresh, service efficient and friendly. The hotel and grounds are beautiful! Highly recommended!

Nice afternoon tea and good selection of sandwiches and cakes. Atmosphere a little lacking and service could have been a little more attentive - for example we had to ask for our Prosecco and a top up of our tea! The place could also do with a clean (whoever cleans the mirrors and glass tables needs to be sacked)

This was the second visit to the hotel for afternoon tea. I telephone on the morning of our visit to make sure that the disabled ramp would be in place as our first visit the ramp was not available and we had to eat in the bar area. When we arrived the ramp was not in place and we had to wait till they found it. The restaurant staff when we eventually got seated were totally disorganised serving people not in order.

We really enjoyed our afternoon tea, yesterday. It was very nice food, served very well in a comfortable environment. We have been before and it was just as good. We will inform our friends and family. We will be back.

Lovely afternoon tea. Fresh, tasty sandwiches and helpful, friendly staff. A special addition was the ‘Happy Birthday’ chocolate and fruit plate provided for my 92 year old father. The only reason for the atmosphere mark down is I would have expected white linen table cloths, rather than bare tables. Other than that a lovely afternoon. Thank you.

really disappointed with the afternoon tea, the coffee on offer was only out of a cafetiere , everywhere else I have had afternoon tea we have always been offered at the very least a cappuccino or latte . what made it even worse was the coffee provided was cold so we wondered weather this was left over from breakfast , the sandwiches tasted stale like they were made the day before and the cakes were obviously bought in and not made at the hotel. The staff were friendly which was the only plus but overall a very disappointing visit and would not go again or recommend after tea at mere court .

We had a very nice afternoon tea for a 70th birthday. They made a special celebration plate for the birthday guest. The service was excellent. The food was good. The room was delightful , over looking a water feature.
