We had a lovely and quick lunch here and our tour in Chester. It took a few minutes for our waitress to realise we wanted to be seated, but there are two entrance ways into the cafe. The menu had a good variety of items and after we ordered our tea and sandwiches arrived very quickly. Everything tasted very good. If we hadn't been in such a rush we probably would have ordered one of their delicious looking desserts. The price was pretty reasonable and the atmosphere was very unique. Eating sandwiches underneath the vaulted ceiling was very fun. The historical information on the walls was fascinating to read. A fun place to have a quick bite.

My mother and I visited here after a day of shopping in Chester a couple of weeks ago and I can't recommend it enough for afternoon tea. For the price, (I think it was roughly £7.50pp or £14 for two people) we weren't actually expecting very much but we couldn't have been more wrong! We got a prawn mayo & rocket, and an egg mayo sandwich each, a large scone with clotted cream and jam, and a selection of cakes/macaroons too. It all arrived on a tiered stand and everything was very fresh and of good quality. In all honesty it was probably one of the best afternoon teas I've ever had: the setting of the cafe is beautiful, the service was attentive and friendly but not overbearing (the manager even came for a chat when we'd finished, which was nice), everything was well timed, the food was delicious and a good amount, and the price is absolutely unbeatable. I came on here expecting to see more reviews similar to mine and was shocked to see some negative feedback. I can say for certain that we didn't experience anything that has been mentioned in these so I think they must have turned things around and made some improvements. It's well worth a visit and we're really looking forward to returning here in the future.
Been here a few times on visits to Chester. A unique café in a 13th century crypt. I enjoyed reading about the history of Chester on the timeline and wall plaques! Lovely scones and cakes. Had a delicious cherry slice and the mocha was also very good. Service was quick. A convenient and atmospheric place to take a break while shopping or sightseeing.
