Sheridan Lounge - Cheshire East

Today, I visited a restaurant with a friend who had received a sparkling afternoon tea voucher as a 60th birthday gift. We were seated quickly by a friendly lady and enjoyed a nice selection of teas. The room was clean and the crockery was lovely. However, we were disappointed with the lack of information provided about the cakes, as we were not told what they were. The quality of the food did not meet our expectations, especially considering the high price of £31 per person. The scones were store-bought and served with buttercream instead of clotted cream, which was not enjoyable. We left most of the food uneaten and felt let down by the experience. We overheard another table expressing similar dissatisfaction with their afternoon tea. We would not recommend this restaurant and would not return. We had a much better experience at Rookery for afternoon tea just three weeks ago. We hope the restaurant takes these reviews into consideration for the future.

The restaurant offers a fantastic variety of sandwiches and pastries, along with a lovely selection of teas or coffee. It's a great value for money, especially if you take advantage of a Groupon deal. Definitely worth it.

On Thursday August 18th I went for afternoon tea with the Holmes Chapel Jodrell Ladies Probus. I was most disappointed with both the service and the food. There was only one person to serve us so we were given a cup of tea at 2pm but no food until 2 45 pm. The sandwiches and cakes were certainly not worth the £23 we paid. On previous visits I have always been pleased but this was certainly not the case on this occasion.

We recently went to Crewe hall for afternoon tea to treat my husbands nan for her 80th birthday. I booked in advance and ensured we were in the Sheridan lounge as on a previous visit we were elsewhere. They confirmed we would be and as part of a promotion we also enjoyed a glass of prosecco with no extra charge, this made it feel even more of a celebration. The staff from the moment we arrived were lovely, explained everything in detail and were very attentive and friendly. We all thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea in lovely surroundings, we didn't manage all the cakes but they let us take them home with us. As my husband was settling the bill the waiter asked if we'd like to have a look around the hall and provided us with a map and little booklet detailing the history of the place, which we took him up on, another surprise touch which made our nans day. All in all I couldn't fault it, we had a lovely time celebrating a special birthday in a place worthy of the occasion. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending for a special occasion or even just a special treat!

Whilst staying at the hotel we booked in for afternoon tea yesterday. Lovely welcome and seated quickly. Full explanation of the different teas available. Upgraded and had a bottle of Prosecco (a little expensive but worth it). Didn’t have to wait too long for our teas and food. All sandwiches and cakes explained when they arrived. All lovely and fresh and plenty to go round. Staff friendly and attentive and very accommodating. Will definitely return when we stay at Crewe Hall again.
