I had my first afternoon tea here and it did not disappoint. Price was reasonable for what you get and atmosphere, at £30 per person without a glass. They had Moroccan mint tea in the selection and that was delicious. The selections on the stand looked small but really filled us up! My friend is vegetarian and they were able to give her a separate plate with vegetarian sandwiches. The scones were the best part followed by delectable desserts. Would highly recommend an afternoon tea here.
A lovely spot for afternoon tea. Really beautiful room in an incredible hotel. And the price is very reasonable!
My only quibble is that the scones were very sweet, making it difficult to finish all the delicious desserts.
And also I wish the music had been more elegant, suited to the surroundings. Perhaps classical music would be nice.
Tried the Christmas Set Dinner and I’d vouch for the truffle soup, the Brie, beef bourguignon (served with potatoes, vegetables and mash), the chocolate tart and Christmas pudding! All tasted great and I’d definitely go back!!! The ambience is gorgeous, very romantic.
Couple things I’d complain about includes the price of the Christmas set menu - it’s almost the same price if you’d order the 3 courses individually (kinda defeats the purpose of a set menu). Another is training - the waitress clearly didn’t know how to pour a pint and she poured it as if it were wine, thus resulting in too much head.
Overall, I’d still give it a 5 star because food and ambience were great!
