April's Kitchen — Restaurant in England

Stopped by with my partner on our way home from a holiday in the Lake District. We were attracted by the fact that they cater for Vegans (I'm vegan). We were greeted on arrival and as we hadn't booked the only table they had for us was in the middle of two other couples and we were very close (more on that to follow).

The food was outstanding - I had the Plant Breakfast with extra avocado, my partner had the Salmon and Cheshire eggs. Both were impeccably cooked and very generous portions. The only slight negative was the coffee, it was quite bland - not sure why this was.

The food is quite pricey here, but it is very good quality and the service was quick and efficient.

The real negative was how close the tables are together. One of the couples we sat next to were some of the most aggressively pretentious people I've ever had the misfortune of being within earshot of. They were banging on about how they avoid seed oils and their microbiomes, which mantras they were using and how a podcast had changed one of their lives. It made for an extremely uncomfortable dining experience. I would like to think this wouldn't happen to most people and we were unlucky.

All in all I would recommend April's for the food and the service but unless you like being sat on top of people and having to listen to their conversation then I...

A bit disappointed today. Nice styling, nicely presented food however - wrong drinks delivered 3 times, waiting staff not that attentive, a pancake “stack” is normally more than 2 pancakes, pancakes were also bland and a bit tasteless, we were expecting croissants to be warm but they were served stone cold and no better quality than those in the co-op garage, and although really good quality butter was served, the cheapest most tasteless jam was included in a plastic service station type packet. There are good things about April’s but there are a lot of things that could be improved to make me choose it over all the other Knutsford options...

This place is way too expensive for my liking plus they add a service charge and a carbon free dining charge to the bill, whatever that is?? Food I would say was average for the cost, 2 omelettes and 2 small glasses of fresh orange £33 wow! Staff, quick on getting the menus to us but took 10mins to take the order, then had to put on our jackets and stand to get the bill, need to be a bit more pleasant also to be honest, service with a smile would have been nice. I certainly won't be coming back here, other places locally serving as good food for a lot less cost. Appeared to be a I'm it...
