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.

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.

The food at both dinner and breakfast was absolutely beautiful and of a really high standard. Will definitely be returning.

We visited with friends, I booked the lunch having been at Mere Court for our son’s wedding several years ago and also for afternoon teas more recently. We were allocated a table in the lounge section of the bar as the restaurant was full - a wedding I presumed. We were given menus and ordered our meals a few minutes later. The wait for our meals to arrive was unacceptable- ‘5 minutes’ we were told, in fact it was more like fifteen. The Sunday roasts were unspectacularly average but my main course was decidedly poor. I requested Cheese and Onion pie. Never in my 70+ years have I been served combination of bland cheese and, what I presumed was, mashed potato , with a few lukewarm chips and shredded onions. I suggest the chef has a discussion with Northerners who understand what constitutes’Cheese and Onion pie.

Lovely location, attentive and friendly staff. Delicious afternoon tea, with tasty traditional sandwiches, warm fresh scones and a lovely selection of tasty cakes. 2 huge teapots and offers of refills. We got a deal via a voucher but even the full price is great value for money. I would definitely recommend and will be booking in again soon!

Had a lovely afternoon tea celebrating a 90th birthday. Lovely little extra for the birthday girl with A Happy Birthday with some fruit and macrons. And gluten free for me. Well done all round

Jeanette Iredale

We had a lovely meal but we didn’t appreciate being charged £3.95 for a tiny jug of gravy.

We came on Wednesday for afternoon tea. We were left in a very busy bar ( wedding guests), and had to remind someone that we were still waiting. A lovely table in the window, but atmosphere spoiled by staff prepping for the wedding. The sandwiches were fine, as were the scones, but the selection of cakes/pastries was dire. It bore no resemblance to the promotional photo. I know it was Groupon, but we expected a better standard from Mere Court. We have already sent an email to Mere Court but have had no reply.

Food was excellent! Disappointed that we couldn’t eat in the Garden Room which we have always used in the past! We had to use the main Restaurant which isn’t as cosy! There isn’t any atmosphere in the Restaurant which is important for an Afternoon Tea! Would think twice about booking again unless they opened up the Garden Room! X
