This was one of my favourite Afternoon Teas I've had. The different savoury items on offer were so tasty and just a nice change from a plate of sandwiches. There was a mini burger, a felafel ball with a Greek dip, the yummiest cup of tomato soup, and buttery corn on the cobb.
Then you get to the sweet stuff. The pot of trifle was gorgeous. The cream filled scone was again gorgeous, soft, fresh, and so easy to eat. There was so much. I had to box some up to take home. I must say my two girls' eyes lit up when i presented them the box of biscuits, donuts, and flumps as an after-school treat!
I would definitely recommend trying out Bench Bistro. The afternoon tea would be perfect for children, and I'm already planning on going back during the school holidays to treat them to one. The food options are right up their street, and the bench just looks so fun and colourful.
Bench Bistro is on Congleton High Street and has been wowing people since it opened in early 2024. They have their flagship bistro in Nantwich if you want to visit that one, too.
The decor inside Bench is also amazing and colourful. Flowers everywhere. Cosy booths, neon signs, and a great place to spend the day or evening with family and friends.
It's not just afternoon teas they serve. Also on the menu is little plates like tapas. With the idea that these are also get served up on a picnic bench. Heck, they even have a cocktail filled picnic bench!
From noodles, wings, haloumi bites, risotto balls, scampi, loaded flatbreads, salads, rice pots, macc n cheese, and loads more.
Watch out for their great offers, too as they did half price afternoon teas in the summer holidays!!
