VISIT DAVENPORTS TEA ROOM

Davenports Tea Room is an award winning quintessential English Tea Room, serving afternoon tea only, with over 50 speciality loose leaf teas, guided by our in-house afternoon tea expert Belinda Davenport, served in bone china and brewed to customers liking.

Davenports Tea Room is themed around Alice in Wonderland with hand painted murals on the walls & Alice in Wonderland collectables, although please note, we are an adult venue and welcome children age 10 years and over.

Staff are dressed in Edwardian “Downton Abbey’ style outfits, and William Morris wall paper adorn the walls alongside the murals.  It really is like stepping back in time!  Once discovered, customers regularly return and it is most appreciated, will tell others.

Although we are available for pre-booked afternoon tea only, we do have a tea shop which sells loose leaf teas, tea gifts & gift vouchers, and may be visited during opening hours.  Please check our news & availability page, in case we are taking an afternoon tea cruise out and closed on the day of your visit to the shop.

A great plus factor if you’re an Alice fan, is that a visit to the tea room can be combined with a visit to Lewis Carroll’s birthplace in Daresbury, as its only 4 miles away in Daresbury, Cheshire.

RECENT CUSTOMER COMMENTS...

“We had a Victorian Christmas Afternoon Tea, which included wonderful sandwiches (salmon/cream cheese, beef paste, ham & turkey/cranberry), artisan pies, delicious cakes and homemade scones. The tea (darjleeling & mint/choc rooibos) was lovely and refreshing. The service was impeccable, with a real knowledgeable description of the food and drinks and attention to detail.”

“Fantastic festive afternoon tea. Tea rooms beautifully decorated. Lovely sandwiches & excellent range of cakes & delicious home made scones to finish. Extensive range of teas & very knowledgable staff who guide you through them. Thank you Belinda & staff for a lovely afternoon, we all really enjoyed ourselves.”

“This afternoon tea was a Father’s Day present from my daughter but we decided to defer the Experience to take advantage of the ‘ Victorian event ‘ in the run up to Christmas. What a good decision this was , the management had gone to great lengths to attractively decorate the tea rooms in a Victorian/Christmas theme and even dressed in Victorian attire. The afternoon tea was a delight in every respect, the food was clearly freshly made using homemade and local produce. Minor dietary quirks were catered for superbly. We opted for traditional tea / coffee rather than the offer of mulled wine ( alcoholic or non-alcoholic) , I can only say the coffee was delightful. The cakes/ patisseries were varied, beautifully presented, and mouthwatering. Warm , fresh homemade scones completed the afternoon tea. The management team of Davenports are to be complimented, the afternoon tea was a delight and could not be faulted in any way.”

“Hi Ian. I wanted to say from Sarah & I, we LOVED the afternoon tea! I’m not usually a sweet toothed person, however those vegan cakes & sweets were something else. They were so so tasty, I couldn’t stop eating them. Thanks so much for the nice extra touches with the ribbons too. It was all totally delicious & we will be back to eat more, experience the beautiful tea room & hopefully come on the barge at some point too. Thanks again to you & your wife. Really pleased I contacted you & have been Davenports in my life.”

I have to say the service provided exceeded my expectations, the afternoon tea was presented beautifully in well organised boxes which included the most beautiful sandwiches and cakes. Each family members dietary requirements was noted and catered for without compromising taste or presentation. A link was provided so that an explanation of the variety of tea and food could be appreciated fully.

I was so impressed with both the level of service and the care provided in to making sure the afternoon tea party was a success. I want to thank Davenport’s for helping my daughter’s birthday during lock down a day to remember. The food not only looked lovely, it was truly delicious.
