Reviews in Tarporley

Positively the staff and the food that was available was very good. However when we first sat down the waitress referred to the menu that was totally different from the one shown on line and which was one of the reasons for our visit. We were told that the hanging chicken kebab, the duck, chicken in black bean and something else that I can’t remember were not available. This was a big disappointment and I cannot really understand why they would run out of things on a Saturday night when they were not especially busy. Overall it was an enjoyable evening just a shame that we could not have our first choice dishes.

Wonderful as always, the food and cocktails need no introduction. It’s the staff that make the difference, you are made to feel special from the minute you arrive, and nothing is too much trouble for them. It’s a special treat for sure. The cocktails are wonderful as said, but drinks like coke are a little expensive, but it’s the food, service and atmosphere that matters.

Food good, service slow, we would have had another drink if someone had come to the table, we had to go to the bar to order a dessert.

Sunday lunch is the best out there and the service outstanding.

I had a fantastic meal! The steak was absolutely perfect—cooked just the way I like it, full of flavour, and incredibly tender. The cocktail menu was impressive, with a great variety to choose from, and I thoroughly enjoyed trying a few. The atmosphere was lovely, and the service was friendly and attentive. Overall, a great dining experience—I’ll definitely be back!

Absolute first class food presented by wonderful staff. Would highly recommend visiting this restaurant. We where able to sit and decide what we wanted to eat sitting in a comfortable seating area while having a lovely drink. We be revisiting again.

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.
