A delicious Afternoon Tea is the ultimate treat and there's lots of cafes, pubs and tearooms to choose from in Cheshire, from traditional handmade cakes at Jenny's Tearoom Sandbach to something a little bit different at The Rabbit Hole in Stoke.
I'm a bit of a fan of an Afternoon Tea, with the mixture of both savoury and sweet treats brought out the classic tiered stand with cute china tea cups of tea. I have been for my fair share of them so here is My Guide to the Best Afternoon Teas in Cheshire & Beyond
🍰George & Dragon Holmes Chapel
Homemade Cakes : great selection and very high quality homemade cakes, super fresh and yummy.
Scone Rating : 8/10 I loved how the double cream had been served as a quenelle which made it look so elegant. The scone has a slight crispy edge while lovely and soft in the middle.
Selection of Sandwiches : Interesting sandwiches and different from your standard options. A selection of breads as well as fillings.
Value for Money : £21.50pp/ £25pp with prosecco A dearer price but it matches the quality of food and service.
Decor and Ambiance : Lovely conservatory and friendly staff.
Overall Thoughts : It was absolutely delicious, all homemade and a delight for the taste buds. The whole experience was lovely. Sat in their sunny conservatory, sipping a prosecco. The selection of sandwiches and cakes were well put together, complimenting each other and made the whole experience wonderful

🍰The Cobbles Tearoom Holmes Chapel
Homemade Cakes : lovey selection of homemade cakes
Scone Rating : 7/10 come already with cream on with strawberries rather than jam.
Selection of Sandwiches : Simple finger sandwiches but plenty of them
Value for Money : £11 per person so a great price
Decor and Ambiance : Homely cafe in an Georgian town house with friendly staff
Overall Thoughts : The Cobbles is in my local village, they always serve up lovely home cooked food. Their afternoon tea isn't overly fancy or complicated but more tradition and at £11 each it is great value for money and a treat which doesn't have to be kept for a special occasion.

🍰The Dunham Barn nr Altrincham
Homemade Cakes : Their cakes are definitely homemade, the Lemon tart was my personal favourite and was gorgeous.
Scone Rating : 7/10 cream was really nice but prefer to add cream and jam myself.
Selection of Sandwiches : Simple finger sandwiches of ham & tomato and cheese & cucumber.
Value for Money : £15 (April 24) Spot on price wise
Decor and Ambiance : A rustic style in a barn but cute. Option to sit outside in the summer is an added bonus.
Overall Thoughts : Simple but yummy sandwiches with plenty of filling. The scones were to die for and that sweetened cream was heavenly. It was so nice to have different cake options that the usual you find on an afternoon tea. The lemon tart was a real game changer and I loved it.

Overall Thoughts : For any Afternoon Tea fan, the Rabbit Hole is an absolute must tea room. Everything about it from the gorgeously made food, the little cute details, and the friendly staff made it such a special and memorable experience.
