Mere Court - Cheshire East

The hotel's website is very misleading, the restaurant venue has changed to another situation. The limited menu was poor. We ordered sea bass (they did provide a dairy-free tomato sauce) and it came with a small mount of crushed potato which was over-salted. This was £23. The dairy-free brownie offered for dessert was like a dry piece of chocolate cake, the strawberry sorbet was decent. We live fairly local and had gone to celebrate a birthday. It would appear very few visit the restaurant alone as most people are staying and it is part of the package. No reason to provide poor food. Needless to say, we will not be going back or recommend to others. Such a beautiful setting, it is sad to see.

A delicious set meal in the restaurant. The portions were adequate but the quality of the food was excellent. The service was good too.

The Arboretum Restaurant is to be found within the grounds of the Mere Court Hotel Knutsford which is located on the south side of Manchester and about a 15 minute drive from the Manchester Airport. Located in the beautitul grounds of the Hotel and with plenty of parking just a few yards away, we chose to have a farewell lunch here before dropping a relative off at the airport. Friendly staff, and excellent service very nice food from a varied menu. We all finished our meals with perfectly clean plates. Classy location. Would recommend.

Had a pleasant met up with a girl friend over afternoon tea. This is my second visit in 18 months. The positives are it’s a nice ambiance, hotel appears clean tidy in reception area, Bar area externally hotel well maintained with manicured gardens even the car park well presented with plenty of spaces. The staff seem pleasant most professional. 18 months on...the afternoon tea was ok, but did feel something was missing on this second visit, maybe lack of presentation Or a couple of sandwiches less, however it was purchased thru Groupon so expect this was the voucher deal option.

Had an evening meal here recently, really nice environment and surroundings and friendly staff. It seemed fairly slow and on the whole the food was OK, the main issue was that the steak, ordered to be medium rare, arrived overcooked which was disappointing. The other meal was very nice but getting a steak right is pretty basic. when we raised this the Head Waiter was very apologetic and tried to remedy the situation which was appreciated though doesn't really make up for a disappointing meal. A little more training and this could be a really nice place.
