Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Shottle

Superb in all regards except one! The service was charming and very professional. The food was delicious and without fault. Portions ample, perfectly cooked and presented! Overall flawless however the coffee is awful! Really poor. The house cafetière coffee which my wife had, was bad, very 1970’s warm with very low quality taste. Not trusting cafetière coffee I ordered a cappacino at extra cost which was as poor. Come on Dovecote, time to catch up with the rest of the world and serve decent coffee. Such a prestigious reputation and otherwise generally great - what a shame!

Lovely pub close to Alton towers, family friendly. Food was great, service was perfect. Great GF menu and cocktails! Much better than the food available at Alton towers.

As regular patrons we were not surprised by the quality of service and food. The staff are wonderful and attentive to a fault without being overbearing. Our 3rd visit in 14 days and certainly not our last.

Delicious treat which has become a Christmas tradition for us! I enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea with a glass of Prosecco and my husband chose the savoury afternoon tea with a beer. Unfortunately they had run out of ale though, so he had to be content with a Peroni. He suggested that a small sweet treat would have been nice to finish off his selection but on this occasion he stole one of mine! Thank you and happy Christmas to all.?

Was a very nice mother’s day treat young children welcomed and thankfully had guten free kids menu and measures in place to avoid cross contamination on gluten free foods.
