Average, at best.

I was honestly pretty disappointed. We were not offered menus for food or drink, so could not see what was coming nor select a herbal tea. The member of staff asked us for tea or coffee, the tea was cold and the coffee was just a dispensed one from the self service machine used during breakfast, not one prepared by a trained barista (i.e. bar staff).
The food was underwhelming too - the sandwiches were stale and cakes were average. scones were okay.

Afternoon tea was absolutely fantastic, been here a couple times now and will definitely go back again
Disappointing Afternoon Tea
Reviewed on
We have had afternoon teas before in the Crowne Plaza but this time was a disappointment. The bread on the sandwiches was hard as if they had been made earlier and left out for a while. Also the tea was not hot.
Excellent service and ambience for Afternoon Tea

It lived up to our expectations. Service was very good. Big plus is being able to park easily.
An experience I was looking forward to ended in disappointment.

The staff member who seated us was pleasant.We were served water fairly quickly while we waited on our afternoon tea to be made.It took about 15-20 minutes to arrive.The sandwiches were disappointing the end ones were hard and the fillings were sparse.Out of 8 sandwiches 4 were cheese and chutney.The two scones were inedible as they were rock hard and couldn’t get the knife through them.The three cake were nice but they were very small cakes cut in half for two.I did wait for a member of staff to come to our table to say about the scones but no one came to even ask how everything was at any point after serving us.
Overall lovely setting but afternoon tea was so disappointing and I will not be back.

The best afternoon tea I’ve ever had! Sandwiches were delicious and so fresh, scones were nice and warm, cakes were amazing and the tea was very good too. My friend is pregnant and can’t eat mayonnaise and the staff were very accommodating. The staff were very polite and friendly and the service was brilliant. I will definitely be back here!
Crown Plaza is excellent location for travellers and tourists.Ideal afternoon Tea mid afternoon

booked as recommended welcome with excellent parking facilities. Afternoon tea served hot and display of cakes and sandwiches and scones included choice for vegan. Near large window with open view of Riverside . Staff paid attention to refill tea/ water. Food was delicious and atmosphere relaxing, quiet. Staff were welcoming from reception phone call to service in restaurant. 1.00pm afternoon tea ideal tourist visit.
I had a fantastic time.

Afternoon tea at the Crowne Plaza always a treat. Great selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes, with accoutrements, plus plentiful refill of tea and coffee. The staff were excellent as usual, with Kevin taking a starring role. But Mandy, Catherine and Leanne are super too.
Nice hotel average afternoon tea

Bought to treat my friend and her daughter however they only brought out Afternoon tea for two when I asked for the other I was told the vouchers only for two , I replied I booked for three people so wanted the experience for three the waitress then proceeded to shout out I’d need to pay for the third person and it would cost £17.95 which I was fully aware of !!! Spoiled a birthday treat
