Peckforton Castle - Cheshire East

Very pleasant afternoon tea using a voucher purchased via a 3rd party. Booking online was easy, took along the voucher and was asked for it at the end of our meal. Scones were fresh and the cakes were nice, sandwiches were generous. We weren’t offered refills of tea but the teapot yielded 3 cups. Service was efficient and friendly, glorious weather for a walk around the grounds.

Using a Buy a Gift voucher went for an early afternoon tea at this unusual venue. Restaurant is in the renovated castle kitchen area and not very big so hence the need to book. Nice to be able to modify the sandwich selection to suit our tastes as they were fresh made. Scones were nice and still warm with the usual jam and cream. This was followed by 3 small cakes each so along with a large pot of tea made a very pleasant meal. Have attached pictures of the castle exterior which is used as a hotel, larger restaurant, wedding venue and for Range/Land Rover Driving Experiences. Initially service was slow due to staff shortage but overall well worth the trip out

Having not visited for quite some time we were not sure what to expect from earlier reviews. We need not have worried. The staff were very attentive and personable . Special mention goes to Clare who served our afternoon tea. We had a Groupon voucher classic deal.. The brasserie ambience is relaxed and full of character with tables nicely spaced for social distancing. We had a choice of teas and our sandwiches seemed fresh and made to order. Home patisserie style baking and fresh warm scones went down a treat after a local walk in the surrounding beautiful hills,. For what we paid it was excellent value and we would be happy to return .

No atmosphere. Poor service and equally poor menu. However there were some interesting wines on the wine list.

The venue was nice, but I was disappointed by the low quality of the food and service, which resembled that of a mediocre pub. Many items on the menu were not available, and the staff had to come back several times after taking our orders to inform us. The table was not cleared throughout the meal, with the starters still on the table when it was time for dessert. Overall, I had a very poor experience and would not recommend this restaurant.
