Katie's Tea Rooms

About

Nestled in the heart of Chester’s historic streets, Katie’s Tea Rooms offers a charming blend of classic British hospitality and contemporary flair. Spread across three beautifully preserved floors of a 14th‑century Grade II listed building, guests can enjoy everything from a light mid‑morning tea to a lavish champagne afternoon ceremony. The décor showcases original sandstone walls and oak beams, accentuated by wattle‑and‑daub panels and wide oak‑studded doors, creating a warm, romantic atmosphere perfect for single visits or larger celebrations. The menu is thoughtfully curated to accommodate a range of dietary preferences, featuring gluten‑free pasta, dairy‑free soups, and dedicated vegan options, all prepared by a team of skilled chefs. A signature highlight is the afternoon tea experience, presented on a three‑tier stand of finger sandwiches, fruit scones, and a hand‑chosen cake, accompanied by loose‑leaf teas or freshly ground coffees. Patrons can elevate their tea to champagne—with optional upgrades to Prosecco—or indulge in a full champagne party set‑up for events, especially popular during the Chester Races. Whether you’re looking for a casual lunch, a romantic dinner, or a bespoke event space, Katie’s Tea Rooms combines historic charm, culinary quality, and a welcoming ambience that resonates with both locals and visitors. Consistently praised for its friendly service, value, and flexible seating, the venue is a favourite amongst families, couples, and those with dietary restrictions alike. Bookings are encouraged for peak weekends and special events, ensuring a smooth experience even during busy times.
