Reviews in Tarporley

This was my first visit for several years and I was pleased to see the restaurant was still very welcoming with a great atmosphere. Unfortunately the service was very slow. No one came to take our order so we flagged someone down. We then waited 30 minutes for our meal. I ordered the goats cheese and onion tart which was so small it looked like a starter as it was a large square piece of puffed pastry with a small round filled centre , served with salad. Very poor indeed. I didn’t complain at the time as I’d waited so long I didn’t want to wait for anything else. We then asked to see the desert menu but it never arrived so after another 20 minutes we decided to just pay the bill on our way out. I shared my disappointment with the staff member who took our payment who apologised and advised they were short staffed. We had 2 drinks taken off the bill. Overall very disappointing

Excellent. Easy booking. Fantastic service and top food. Sunday roast is one of the best

Had a family lunch yesterday and it was lovely. Food good, service also good, cocktails delicious! Just a little request for those of us that are dairy intolerant could you please add some dairy free milk, e.g. oat milk to the menu please. Thanks

A great meal, fantastic service. Well worth a visit.

Stayed overnight, had evening meal which was excellent and breakfast the next morning equally as good. Service was very efficient and friendly chatty staff.

Been here many times for Sunday lunch and can honestly say I have never been disappointed . The food is fabulous and plenty of it. Good service and pleasant too.

The meal was very good. All cooked and presented well and of excellent quality. Service was 5 stars.

Gorgeous Sunday roast , excellent value & portion sizes good. lovely relaxed feel & great service.

Another excellent meal as usual. Sunday roast is highly recommended. Service is spot on. Been many times over the past couple of years & it is consistantly good.

Sunday lunch. Roast beef and turkey delicious as were vegetables and mash. Didn’t like roast potatoes (not fluffy/crispy) or Yorkshire pudding (too greasy) . Very good value and liked setting. Outside tables and ground could do with an upgrade . Sloping tables with rotten wood

Very nice meal in pleasant surroundings. Efficient staff.

Beautiful place to eat. Food never disappoints. Great staff. Recommend apple pie. Not too e pensive either. Lovely outside place to have a drink.

Had a table booked for 6pm on Sat 17th May. Lovely summers evening, the Alvaney was very clean and welcoming, and a good table was ready for us. Drinks were served quickly, and food orders taken. Had two lovely main courses, one dessert ( between us !! ) and some beer and wine. Very friendly and efficient staff, could not have asked for more. Our total bill was £52, very reasonable by today's standards. Would definitely come again.

We had a lovely meal in Panama on Wednesday night, the staff, atmosphere and surroundings were excellent. We felt relaxed and welcome. We thoroughly enjoyed our meal which consisted of 2 dishes from a set menu for £19.95 and some of us indulged in the cocktails for £7. Thank you.

Lovely time dining here - we’ve visited many times over the years and it’s always an amazing experience - delicious drinks, tasty food, and great atmosphere. The waiting in staff here are always accommodating and can’t do enough for their guests.

Highly recommend The Alvanley Arms. Lovely location and food and friendly staff all go towards making the perfect location to meet friends.

Ate early doors yesterday evening. Fantastic food and excellent service. Loved the desserts and will definitely be back.

After many years of not visiting I was outstanded at the consistency of this venue… It was mine and my husbands Birthday destination, sadly my husband no longer with us, I hadn’t returned. My best neighbours “ever” deserved a Birthday destination . They absolutely loved it, and so did I. It was exactly how I remembered with the excellent cocktails, and the fabulous menu, and delicious food! Just perfect… the staff couldn’t have been any nicer or more helpful. Thank You, and we will be back soon xxxx
