Luton Hoo Afternoon Tea

The venue and food was first class but we were very disappointed that our teapots of English tea contained teabags! We also had a strainer which was not needed.

I took my elderly mother for the afternoon tea. It was fabulous. Taejah was so attentive and very welcoming, we had a very pleasant experience because of Taejah. Thank you and we will be back again!

Went as a group of 4 for afternoon tea and was not impressed. Communication before the date of booking was poor, the service was slow and the standard of mediocre at best. We even received our sandwiches before our tea/coffee and had to ask more than twice for water. The Gluten Free afternoon tea was awful. The sandwiches were hard and dry and the cakes all tasted the same. Expensive but poor quality. Other places offer better afternoon tea.

Not worth the money. Food was fancy but not very nice. Service was horrendous. Waited ages to be seated (only 3 other groups present), seating is all sofas so very low, uncomfortable and not very spacious. Had to ask/remind them of our drinks multiple times (and heard other tables doing the same), used the poor excuse of the printer not working. Refills/extra food is overpriced. Somehow came out with a massive bill for 2 coffees. Building and setting is beautiful. Staff were friendly.

I booked afternoon tea,at Luton Hoo.for my cousins birthdays. We was greeted by a very happy doorman. We arrived early but they seated us straight away. But I was disappointed with afternoon tea. The choice of sandwiches was not great We where disappointed. It was mot presented on a tire tray. The cakes where poor choice but the scones where very nice. Our waitress was lovely Taejah Boothe.She was amazing The venue was beautiful. But I wouldn't book again. I found it expensive. I'm disappointed with tea, not the services. I wouldn't book again.

Oh this afternoon tea was amazing. We booked as part of a spa deal. The staff are so friendly and very attentive. It was a really warm day and they brought us water straight away. This afternoon was so generous we couldn't finish it all. The sandwiches were wonderful and different to others we have tried. All had different breads which were so tasty. The scones were fresh and delicious. The best I have had. The cakes were devine we ended up taking most home with us which was a lovely treat. I would highly recommend the chai tea. The room is wonderful and clean and very spacious we didn't feel too close to other customers. I would recommend this very highly, a wonderful experience.

Came for afternoon tea with friends. It has been our go to place for a special afternoon but for various reasons it’s been a year since our last visit and we won’t rush back. The three star is for our overall experience not for food and drink. The staff were very pleasant and attentive. The atmosphere was non existent with 2/3 of the tables empty which is telling in itself. We have been used to a free refill of sandwiches- now you get a personal plate and a refill is £8 (on top of the £50 plus service charge already paid). The tea was served in cold pots. No spoons for the jam and cream which were v small portions. Please can the new owners take heed of the reviews and revert to the lovely e...

We visited Luton Hoo for afternoon tea. We arrived on time but had to wait 30 min for our table not too much of a problem as there were other places to sit and wait and they were apologetic. However, once we were seated the service was exceptionally poor and slow. We had to wait a long time in between each 'course ' to get the next one and they took a long time to clear our plates. We asked for more tea and had to remind them later that it hadn 't arrived the previous pots had not been removed so that was juggling act. Later on we had to remind them that we 'd not had the extra clotted cream we 'd asked for (one set had a pot of jam and cream between 2 people, which wasn 't enough). There wa...

Been to Luton Hoo for Afternoon Tea before so was looking forward to visiting again but what a disappointment! Was greeted by a young girl, no smiles, just said hello, showed us to our table, left us for about 5 minutes asking us what tea would we like, I had to mention we had booked for sparkling wine afternoon tea, probably wouldn’t have got it otherwise so decided what tea to have, didn’t take long as not much of a selection then she went off. 10 minutes later a young lad came with a small plate each, 5 sandwiches on each plate, what happened to the tier plates you use to get them on? Anyway, the roasted beef sandwich was the only nice one, the other 4 were tasteless and now to have to pa...
