I was introduced to Black Pudding, an acquired taste for even the English- pigs blood and intestines mashed into a hockey puck. I have nothing to compare it to but a taste of it was good for me. It was crispy, soft like pudding and a bit sweet. I opted for the tuna panini which was terrific. I read it came with chips which I figured were fries but got actual potato chips which was fine I guess. Michael said his All Day Breakfast was spot on except for the sausage which he described as cheap or watery. The other lads said there's were fine and devoured it spite being hung over. Before breakfast I asked to walk past the gates to witness the sprawling fields. I was welcomed with a bit of apprehension and took a few photos as you may see. Apparently no one asks to go back into the farm. I breathed in the cool air and appreciated the beauty of the English horizon. I was met by the owner, Bill Williams, in a tractor who stopped me to have a bit of a chat. He is a funny man when he said the view was "alright" and there wasn't much to see. I learned the farm was 400 acres and how he had a kick travelling the California coast line several years ago. When I return to Chester I will be sure to come back and eat here and say hello.

As soon we entered we were greeted with a smiling face asking how we were, that kind of positive impression goes a long way! Although its table service, we were drawn to the tempting looking cakes under the counter, the coffee cake looked fantastic and I liked the fact you could see the staff preparing cakes, salads etc, behind the counter. But breakfast was definitely the order of the day, a decent amount of choice from teacakes to a Full English. I went for the Bacon and Sausage Sandwich with doorstep granary bread, fantastically tasty, courtesy of high quality ingredients and very fresh bread. My wife had a large teacake which was equally tasty. The drinks we had were OK, the cappuccino a little milky, and the coffee a little weak, but on the whole, a great breakfast, all the better with the wonderfully sunny outlook, this tearoom has. We will definitely return for breakfast again and to sample those tempting cakes. A few other things worth mentioning, they sell bread, cakes and rolls too, as well as making celebration cakes to order. Be aware though, the only toilet is up some steep stairs.

We both went for the Devil's Chocolate Cake, fantastically moreish, a moist cake, with a generous amount of chocolate cream, lovely.

I visited this coffee shop last year whilst on a trip with my boyfriend and his mother. I was initially quite impressed with the lovely decoration, it really does look attractive. Instantly I was put off by the fake friendliness of the place. Every hello seemed forced and it is really off putting, i find anyway. The drinks menu was extensive, slightly over priced in my opinion but i had heard many good things from friends and family about how amazing the coffee was. I really don't mind paying £2.40 for a coffee if it's a good one, and it definitely was. We found ourselves a table as requested by the sign. I did overhear a man complaining that he needed to find a table number. Personally i didn't understand his problem, you do that in most restaurants don't you? After walking around the marina and its surrounding area we were quite understandably peckish. The menu was relatively basic and expensive! A sandwich costing £6....i could understand if it was served with chips but i was wrong, just a side salad. I decided on the Greek salad. My boyfriend and his mother selected the tapas to share between them. Whilst waiting to be served, i noticed the lovely selection of fine foods on offer, totally out of my price range but lovely all the same. It was whilst i was waiting that i noticed two members of staff preparing the food. The young lady was preparing a fantastic salad in a bowl, it really did look delicious. It was at this point that i saw one member bend down and pull a packet out of the fridge. I noticed that the packet was in fact Morrison's Value salad cheese! Clearly this cheese was supposed to be Feta, which would be part of the Greek salad i, and another customer, intended to eat. I have absolutely no problem with value ranges in supermarkets, i regularly buy them myself, so its not because i am a snob. However when i am paying almost £8 for a Greek salad, i expect a higher quality cheese to be used! I thought The Apple Tree used local high quality products, clearly not. I opted for a cheese and ham sandwich, probably value products but cheaper than the salad in any event. The lady who served me was overly friendly, i seriously thought she might jump over the counter and kiss me. I understand there is a reason that staff are made to be friendly however it just made me feel very uncomfortable. I ordered and went back to my table. And waited. Eventually, a really tiny, young girl brought our drinks over to us. She was smiley and happy, none of the fakeness at all. The coffee really was fantastic, just lovely lovely lovely. Our food arrived a short while later, bringing with it a lovely lad (sorry i don't remember his name) but he was charming and genuinely friendly. My sandwich was okay. I ate it, sitting there wishing i'd had the tapas. It looked delicious but there didn't seem to be much too it considering the price. Overall, the coffee was fantastic but i felt that the food was overpriced and very basic. read more

This has to be my favourite place to while away a few hours on a rare morning or afternoon I can get away from work! Quality food and drink (I have yet to find a coffee that matches The Apple Tree's standard), exceptional staff and beautiful surroundings, are almost impossible to find all under one roof. The Apple Tree manages to do this seamlessly, always making me feel so welcome and relaxed. I love the music they play, particularly the salsa on a warm summer's day - the only problem is I then don't want to return to work! As if I don't spend enough time there, they have now started doing breakfasts and afternoon tea, only more temptation! My husband and I visited last Saturday morning and ordered our usual lattes (which the young man behind the counter remembered they were our 'usual' drinks), and an oatcake each. Mine came with local bacon and Staffordshire cheese and was absolutely divine! Whilst standing at the counter I heard a lady ask if they could heat her baby's bottle in the microwave, to which the young man replied their ethics do not support the use of microwaves, everything is freshly cooked. The lady was offered a suitable alternative for heating the bottle, this only added to my delight that everything is cooked traditionally,and that they do not cut corners in anything they do. I can whole heartedly recommend The Apple Tree, prices are very reasonable considering the standards and the national acclaim they have received, and the staff could not be more genuine and willing to help. read more

I've visited the Apple Tree on several occasions purely because I've been visiting the Marina and it is convenient. My most recent visit being on 11 th November 2011. The shop and payment area is nicely laid out and has a french ambience. The eating area lacks atmosphere the ceiling is high and echoey, the dining chairs are uncomfortable (puffed up in the middle but do not feel good to sit on), some tables so close to plants the leaves are on the table and too cold to sit in for a length of time unless you were wearing a heavy outdoor coat rather than a jacket like my friend and I as we were visiting the shops. My order was taken but I did not feel made welcome. I was asked for my table number although I'd not selected my table which seemed to annoy the member of staff perhaps it would be a good idea to give customers a number to take and pop up on their table and this way you could swap tables but still got your order. The latte was cool and small was smaller than I would expect by comparison with other cafes and considering the price The Apple Tree charge. The food was OK. I ordered a second drink and tidily organized my initial order plates, etc to be taken away but had to ask for them to be cleared. No thank you, sorry,etc. It was not at all busy. To summarise I would say that the cafe has a captive audience and I feel they take the customer for granted in providing a weak level of service which is unfriendly and expensive. read more

we have to say that for excellent friendly service and the warmest of welcomes the apple tree is the place to go. we have enjoyed a variety of quality food snacks drinks and superb cakes ( naughty ), on many occasions over the last few months, and we really look forward to calling in usually at least once a week. manager nicola is terrific, and her brilliant staff including danielle, kate, philippa, david and others, always seem pleased to see us and we are always treated to the best attention from a professional team. on our visit today we noticed some new faces whos names are unfamiliar to us yet, but they appeared equally helpful and the service was great. as someone who is the first to complain when things are of a poor standard, it is a pleasure to be able to praise this lovely establishment which we can highly recommend for consistantly high standards long may it continue a rare find indeed colin & bev randle read more

Simply the best coffee shop in Staffordshire, at least the best one I have found. I have only recently discovered Barton Marina, but I am sure to keep going back just for the pleasant service and friendly staff. As a big coffee drinker, I am fussy about my espresso, and it was such a pleasant surprise to find a coffee shop who know their coffee. They even remembered my drink on my second visit! They also have a good lunch menu, and very tasty panini's with Staffordshire cheese. Even better they have a deli attached with a good selection of foods you can't usually find anywhere else, like red peppersweets, black truffles and lovely Mediterranean foods. This is how a good coffee shop and deli is run. read more
