Reviews in Tarporley

We had an excellent lunch at the Alvanley. The service was prompt, cheerful and efficient. The food arrived in timely fashion and was extremely tasty. The cost of the meal was very reasonable and we felt good value. The Alvanley is tastefully decorated and comfortable. We enjoyed it so much we have booked to take a friend for the Christmas Fayre menu soon.

The ten family members who were there all enjoyed the meals ,and found the staff brilliant

I've been wanting to eat here for sometime. The Alvanley is a gorgeous place. We sat right next to a multi fuel burner. The seats were very comfortable. My wife and myself had the Sunday beef roast. The beef was beautiful. Lovely roasties and a massive yorkshire pudding. I was a little disappointed in the cauliflower cheese. It seemed to lack a little bit of taste. Unfortunately we had all had a big weekend of eating and drinking so we only had a mains. I would definitely recommend this place to my friends and family. Thank you guys

As usual...everything spot on! Great food, well priced, excellent service! Couldn't ask for more! Thank you!

Traditional pub with 4 cask beers from Robinson's, including on my visit, the wonderful Old Tom strong winter ale. Service was efficient and friendly, setting was historic and comfortable, food was hearty and enjoyable.

Good food at an acceptable price and a nice atmosphere, albeit the restaurant was extremely warm. Drinks were over priced.

Excellent Sunday lunch, generous portions, well prepared and served. Friendly helpful staff without being over attentive. Quality Robinsons ales, especially good to have Old Tom on the pumps.

Visited 2/11/2025 with friends for Sunday dinner. 2 off us had the roast beef, 1 had pork, 1 had turkey. All meals were superb. Hot,tasty and plentiful. Staff friendly and attentive.lovely ambience definitely will be returning

Lovely meal and a great atmosphere.

Lovely food and service, definitely recommend

food was excellent and the atmosphere was very good. Staff were nice but at one point we wanted extra drinks but the staff were no where to be seen. In the end I got up and went to the bar myself. I would understand if it was busy but it wasn’t as it was midweek. Apart from that I’d happily go back. Everything else was excellent

Over the years we have been here meeting our friends for lunch many times. Our last visit was on Sunday 26th October, again for lunch. It's a lovely place, the staff are friendly and the food is very nice. My wife had liver and onions, I had the chicken Balmoral which was the nicest I have ever had. Our friends had the salt and pepper chicken and steak and ale pie. We all thoroughly enjoyed our meals, and will definitely carry on visiting.

Great service, lovely relaxing environment.

We were a party of 6 friends . All meals were delicious from the cheese and onion pie to the gammon . All clean plates . Staff are lovely don’t rush you . Reasonable prices and always comfortable and relaxing .

Went in for early lunch , thought service was quite slow for how quiet it was , we had to ask for menus they didn't have lasagne when we asked but 1/2 hour later served someone with lasagne , the food was just ok , shame as a lovely setting , staff just not interested didn't see a smile out of anybody the girls serving!

Venue = beautiful Food = mediocre Service = shambles Withing the first 5 minutes 3 different members of staff asked us about drinks. Odd but better to have too much service than not enough. However pretty much downhill from there. Mains came, enchiladas were just packed out with big pieces of onion. The chicken in them was quite plain. Guacamole seemed like was from a jar, certainly not made in the restaurant. After finishing the meal, over 20 minutes before someone cleared the table. There seemed plenty of staff, and they all seemed to be working but almost no order as to who was doing what. Got asked about desserts, before we could say we had already looked at the menu online, the man basically cut us off mid sentence and walked off. Orderd dessert from someone else, they were nice. Took a while to get the bill even though lots of staff frantically running around. Bill came with extra items on that we haven't ordered, also prices on the bill didn't match the prices listed on the menu. Judging by the venue, this should have been a brilliant meal, sadly was well below par overall.

It was our first stop when we arrived to the country and I was an excellent choice. Really good food. The staff very friendly and professional and the place very cozy

Visited for Sunday lunch after a local dog walk. Fantastic food and fantastic service in a very friendly, warm and welcoming environment. Glad that dogs are welcome as my dog was totally spoiled by our fellow diners.
