Award Winning Afternoon Tea in Cheshire

Please note, leading restaurant guides issue awards to restaurants based on dining from a full menu and will not normally consider afternoon tea when deciding how highly to rate a restaurant. Therefore the above restaurants are not ranked, although it's a safe bet that any restaurant serving award winning food in Cheshire is also likely to provide some of the best afternoon tea in Cheshire! Please also note that for the restaurants listed above, afternoon tea may be offered within the parent hotel/venue the restaurant resides in, rather than in the restaurant itself.

Cheshire, nestled in the north-west of England, provides the perfect backdrop for afternoon tea aficionados seeking both rustic charm and sophisticated elegance. The area is renowned for its picturesque landscapes, charming villages, and equally delightful tearooms. One must-visit destination is the lovely city of Chester, famed for its well-preserved Roman walls, but also for its array of exquisite venues to savour afternoon tea. The Grosvenor Hotel, a historic gem in Chester, offers a delightful afternoon tea experience with its selection of delicate sandwiches, freshly baked scones, and intricately crafted pastries—all served in its opulent and timeless surroundings. Beyond Chester, the county reveals even more hidden gems. A visit to the delightful Davenports Tea Room in Northwich transports you to a world where traditional afternoon tea is served with a touch of theatrical whimsy. With its Victorian-inspired decor and bespoke service, it truly captures the spirit of indulgence. For those inclined towards a more countryside experience, Crewe Hall offers a quintessentially English afternoon tea, set within a grand Jacobean mansion. Here, guests are treated to carefully prepared finger sandwiches, clotted cream, and a mouth-watering selection of treats in a truly serene environment. If you are venturing through Cheshire, do make sure to explore these outstanding offerings.
