"I had high hopes for the afternoon tea based on the great reviews, but unfortunately, I was left feeling disappointed. Despite rarely leaving reviews, I felt compelled to share my experience. The view from the restaurant was beautiful, but the food itself fell short of expectations. The portions were small and did not meet the standards I would expect for the price paid. The tea included only one pot, three finger sandwiches, one scone, one piece of cake, one chocolate, and two tiny cakes. Additionally, the individual jam pots were a nice touch, but mine was already opened and partially eaten. The strawberries were also spoiled. In my opinion, there are better places to enjoy afternoon tea. I would recommend visiting for a drink and enjoying the views instead. It was disappointing to be charged full price despite raising these concerns."

Really nice afternoon tea. Every dietary point noted before arrival. Home made scones were lovely and the sandwiches were fresh.

The scones were delicious and it was so relaxing to enjoy a cream tea while watching people surf. The service was quick and efficient.

My son kindly treated me for Mother's Day. From beginning to end the service was superb! The afternoon tea was relaxed and friendly. Staff were attentive but not intrusive. The food was to die for... View menu

We opted to have the basic Afternoon Tea and this was well worth it. The scones were very fresh and plenty of cream and jam were provided (or should that be jams and cream! . My wife could not manage her two scones so I had to finish them for her no problem there!!

We enjoyed afternoon tea with prosecco at this restaurant and were amazed by the fantastic food quality. The freshly made sandwiches were very tasty, the home made scones were delicious with proper clotted cream, and the pastries were to die for. The service was great as well.

I had a great overall experience at this restaurant. The hotel is very elegant and the dining room is beautifully decorated. They offer a wide variety of teas to choose from. The staff is professional and friendly, providing excellent service. There are also good options for vegetarians. The pastries were especially delicious and we really enjoyed them. View menu

Another good meal at the Wellesley. Food is of a high quality, lovely intimate dining room and excellent service. Special offer set menu is good value. Wine is expensive (min. £10 a glass/£30 a bottle) but even the house variety is decent. One slightly off note this time was the smell of cigar smoke. Not sure if there is a cigar lounge on the ground floor, but there was a definite and fairly strong smell of cigar smoke for the entire meal, which wasn't nice.

Booked a table for afternoon tea one week in advance was given the option to book for adults and child and the booking was all confirmed by email. One week later the night before we were due to visit I had a call to say table had been cancelled as they don't accept children. If it's an adult only hotel then fine, but why give the option to add a child when booking? Also why wait a week after the booking was made to cancel leaving no time to make alternative arrangements for a special occasion! The child was a 12 years old but wasn't even given the chance to tell them this.
