Love this place, so much to see and you'll get lost for hours. Some things are pure tat and shouldn't be for sale, but that is a small minority.
I took a star off, because of the food. They are charging premium prices for frozen food.
My wife had the fish and chips, and it was a small frozen fish and a handful of chips. This was a cheap frozen fish fillet, and frozen chips. I had the steak & kidney 'pie'. Don't get me wrong, there was a lot of it, but it wasn't a pie. It was a stew with a puff pastry lid. A fair few of the bits of meat were very grisly and the lid just collapsed. I needed a spoon to eat it, not a knife and fork.
At £14 for the pie and £13 for the fish, I expected quality and they didn't serve it.
This took the shine off what was meant to be a nice lunch, and I felt that the £40 I paid should have been less than half of this as it isn't worth it.
In my opinion, go to Dagfields for the shopping experience, and go somewhere else for food.
Give yourself loads of time when visiting, because there is plenty to browse through. Numerous units at Dagfield just ram packed with antiques, retro and bric-a-brac goods, which you can very easily spent 3 hours looking around especially if you use the cafe for a brew with a bite to eat, (which sell some very tasty home made cakes).
A nicely laid out place with plenty of free parking, toilets and cafe located central in the complex, it's so handy in all weather's, because each unit is not that far from the next, so you don't really get that wet or that cold while your walking around.
Here they don't only sell to you, but they will also buy your olde stuff off you, so if you haven't been here for a while you will notice many more item's included in the stock and probably things you've not even seen since you were a child - it's cool and worth a visit if you've got a few hours to kill or looking for something different.
Can’t believe we’ve never visited before. More antiques than you can imagine. Second hand books, furniture and a tea room to boot. Plants and crafts. You name it they have it. Free parking too
When I first arrived, I thought I must have died and gone to antiques heaven! Dagfields is sizable with 7 large emporiums and other smaller shops to explore.
Looking around proved to be a more disappointing experience. Genuine antiques and well presented stock were hard to find amidst the boot fair tat that predominated.
The staff were helpful and polite throughout (which is always a big plus from me), and the pasties and pork pies bought from the Cheshire Pie Company staved off considerable hunger pains!

Really nice place. Cheshire countryside location is lovely. Easy to find. Easy to park, and parking is free. There are a lot of different stoles, and you will always find nice stuff. Well... I found out it, probably, more expensive than I would expect but...It is antique place, after spending a couple of hours and being creative you can find good stuff for reasonable price. You can negotiate as well sometimes 🙂 And, really, it is not about the price... It is about the feeling.
Also, there is 'book cavern' and, honestly, if you love good old books, this is a place for you!
Oh, the tea room is lovely as well 👍
Excellent place for browsing antiques or other things. Clothing, Plants, Chocolates. Some nice places for Breakfast, Lunch, Coffees. Nice to wander around no one bothers unless you want to buy. Big car park. just a lovely day out.
Interesting place, lots and lots to see. The cafe seemed popular but we didn't visit. Feel that they could do with a second cade just serving drinks to help with capacity or perhaps they had one and we missed it as a lot to see. We thought most items seemed well priced. Clearly somewhere you can spend a few hours.
It's a nice place to have a browse for bits and bobs. It has a really good shop for model trains and all the accessories. You can also buy second-hand trains and track.
There are some interesting antiques in one of the ships.
The cafe has nice coffee, I didn't eat the food, but the set menu looks tasty. There is ample parking, including disabled bays.
Really good place to look and buy what we grew up with as children there's also new stuff to bring you back to modern times. If you're into electric bicycles then check out Retro Rides they have great looking ebikes helmets and jackets well worth a look. I had a great afternoon and even found a teddy bear factory on site and an old fashioned sweets too. Nantwich is just up the road also a garden centre so lots to keep the grey matter busy
It's bigger than we thought, well worth a visit, if you find something that your interested in you can go to reception and they'll bring the key, if you ask they'll keep the item on reception till your ready, so you can have a look around.
The staff are friendly and helpful.
