A bit disappointing
Reviewed on
Had to find a waitress to get a drink after bring in 10 mins. Choice was disappointing and loads of plates looked like leftovers. Disappointing choice of filling. Sausage rolls were horrible as though meat was off.Bread was very fresh, scones were delicious. Cake offering was ok.
Won't go again.
I don't think we'll be back

The reception staff were lovely, the bar staff weren't as on top of it as I would have expected (we had to get up more than once to get a member of staff to order drinks and then again for the bill).
The food selection was much more limited than it was previously.
The cocktails we ordered weren't made with the correct ingredients (one listed wasn't even stocked).
Considering we've been multiple times before, we felt a bit let down this time.
3rd Visit for Afternoon Tea

I was a little disappointed that we were asked to choose our own seats and that the hot drinks were self-service. This seemed to take away some of the personal touch that I had enjoyed on my previous visits.
The food itself was good, although some of the sandwiches appeared to have been sitting out for a while and were not quite as fresh as I had hoped. Replenishing items that had run out was also rather slow, which meant we had to stand and wait.
As this was my third visit, I noticed a definite difference compared with my previous experiences, when the service felt more personal and attentive. That said, I did enjoy the food and drinks that I had.
Overall, I felt the personal touch was missing on this occasion, which was disappointing, but it certainly wouldn’t stop me from visiting again in the future. I hope my next visit will be more like the excellent experiences I have had previously.
Enjoyable afternoon tea

Great choice of fresh savoury and sweet treats. Fantastic that you could help yourself. The buffet was topped up until the last half hour, when understandably some items were running out. We didn’t book until 2pm and would suggest that you book an earlier slot to get the full experience. Would definitely book again but probably miss out cocktail as it was a very limited choice.
Excellent choice

Varied choice and no rushing
Not quite the afternoon tea we hoped

It would be good if we knew where to attend when arriving for the unlimited afternoon tea as we entered at the bar and were ignored by the team until we stopped some to ask for advice.
The food was nice but I wouldn’t say special and the self service just wasn’t for us. The scones were just ok but there were only plain available and there was no clotted cream, it was more a whipped cream that I didn’t like the taste of. The sausage roll was the star of our visit. The hot chocolate was so watery and tasteless but they did offer decaffeinated tea.
No one check in on us the whole 90 minutes were we’re in the bar, no plates were cleared and nobody acknowledged us. I’m not sure if it was because we were seated in the bar. We had booked for the restaurant but got a booth in the bar which looked nice. The seats are well worn and cushioning is minimal where many others have sat before us! We had said on the booking we were celebrating a birthday but this wasn’t acknowledged either. Not sure why ask for this kind of information on the booking if it means the teams don’t acknowledge it!
Overall it wasn’t the indulgent experience I was hoping for.

Excellent value for money. All food was fresh and replenished regularly. Good variety of sandwiches & cakes on offer. Tea & coffee all self service. A return visit is on the to do list.
