Reviews in Tarporley

We had such a lovely meal for Valentine’s Day and it was perfect from start to finish. The steak was cooked to perfection and the “cheese pan” started was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend!

Very nice. My tagine tart was tangy and spicy, potatoes lovely and salad fresh. My wife loved her steak. So pretty impressive

We came here for food on valentines night. Service was brilliant and food was delicious. The manager was lovely and friendly and staff attentive. Definitely recommend!

Excellent meal with friends last night. Service was great. Just wish they did bottled diet coke or coke zero.

Fantastic value and quality as always

We have had a few meals in the last few weeks at The Alvanley Arms The food has been realy good at all times, well presented, hot and tasty. The service from Karen and her team is allways friendly and with a smile. The dining areas are comfortable and warm with a nice atmosphere. We have been taking advantage of the 25% of the whole bill, the meals are good value for money anyway the 25% is the icing on the cake.

Excellent service, excellent food, interesting menu, great ambience and atmosphere. The manager is always up for a chat and the staff are very attentive. Highly recommend.

The Alvanley Arms is my family’s first choice for a truly delicious meal and outstanding customer care and service, The Sunday lunch is absolutely knock out. Not only well cooked, well presented food but also exceptional value for money. Service charge is not automatically added which is a refreshing change nowadays and a major irritation to me personally. The Alvanley Arms staff deserve a tip as their service is outstanding and I have no hesitation in recommending to anyone who is looking for a value for money delicious meal in beautiful surroundings

After missing out on a meal here before Christmas due to a power failure, we finally visited yesterday and we were definitely not disappointed. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome by all members of staff. Drinks and food ordered and these arrived promptly. Food was piping hot, well-presented and tasted delicious. If I had one complaint it was that the hot food was served on cold plates. Having said that we would certainly visit again

Lovely meal. Great location. Super staff. Lovely touch with a candle for granddaughters birthday. Highly recommend.

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.

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!

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.

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.
