"Decided to try the Groupon thing out only because I got a further 20% discount. It was barely worth it. The grounds and frontage are lovely. The reception area is ok. The bar area worn and the orangery wants some major roof repair works and cleaning. You look up there's damp patches holes and plaster bubbling. Furniture in the bar area badly worn, carpets no comment. So, we were shown to our table. Table linen clean and tidy. Pity the surrounding tables were or had been left with leftovers. Even the breakfast serving table had left over beans still stuck to it it was 3pm.... The delivery of the cake stand with sandwiches and cakes it was quite good actually. Fresh. Chilled. Very enjoyable. We had tea coffee and prosecco. Must say the stand alone quality of food and beverage was good I thought. Pity the surroundings are borderline dreadful. Overall the experience was average. I knew it wasn't gong to be fantastic so my expectation level was set perfectly. Given that. I was neither impressed nor disappointed. I would neither recommend nor return for this experience. For what was paid via Groupon, it was worth it. Around £16 for 2 including Prosecco. A final note. The location is gearing up for the annual wedding fayre nonsense. I have to say given the interior condition it would be the last place Id chose for an event such as that. We were going to ask to see rooms but given the state of the orangery we didn't bother. The staff were reasonably attentive and friendly."

We enjoyed an Afternoon Tea which was bought as a Christmas gift, there was a good choice of miniature cakes and they were accommodating with regards to the food preference that I had. The service was excellent waited on by Steve who was very charming! Nothing was too much trouble. Thank you.

Lovely afternoon tea had in the beautiful conservatory room, murals on the wall and just great food, staff were so helpful and attentive. It was a bitterly cold day so the room wasn't the warmest but staff made sure we had plenty of tea to warm us through. Would return, maybe in the summer when that room would be spectacular.

I was expecting to have tea in the orangery .istead we we lead through a series of dab depressing rooms and seated in a grim ,dark and smelly little room in dire need of redecoration . The service was none existant . We we not asked about dietary requirements . We were presented with a selection of very poor quality sandwiches and cakes .. The pots of tea arrived about 30 mins before the sandwiches and we had to ask for fresh tea which was greeted with much tutting . Horrible experience !

We waited 15 minutes at the entrance before anyone greeted us. After being taken to the bar, we waited again for someone to assist us with Afternoon Teas. Just as we were considering leaving, a staff member finally arrived and escorted us to the tea room. The food was well presented and fresh, but the service was lacking. We were given a coffee pot without any milk. Upon leaving, no one acknowledged us. Overall, we were unimpressed and felt that our experience was only due to using a Groupon voucher.

First impressions; No table cloth! Drab room! Receptionist was also waitress! Tea was served in horrid white chunky cups. Afternoon tea on a chunky tiered plates...tiny scones on top with pre packed clotted cream...not even in a dish. Sandwiches were filled with what tasted like sandwich fillings and cheap ham. There was no finesse....we thought it was a bit like Fawlty Towers....and expected John Cleese to appear! It was great to be with friends who could all laugh at it! Won't be going back for seconds! It wasn't even well presented... We had a knife and had to use our tea spoons to serve jam! View menu

Our afternoon tea did not match the image advertised. The sandwiches were very small, with fillings like grated cheese and pickle, a bit of ham and lettuce, and a grainy-tasting egg on a half triangle of bread. The scone was good, but the thick jam and cream were difficult to spread. The selection of cakes included a small meringue nest, a macaron, a chocolate truffle, a chocolate brownie, and another dense square dessert. The service was lacking, with stained tablecloths, a lack of hand sanitizer, and multiple issues with cups being changed. The server seemed overwhelmed and did not attend to empty tables promptly. Overall, it was not the dining experience we had hoped for.

I purchased a last-minute deal on Living Social for my daughter's birthday. The exterior of the restaurant was attractive, and the receptionist was friendly upon arrival. However, the afternoon tea experience quickly went downhill. The waiter only interacted with us to take our drink orders before leaving us to ourselves. Our drinks and food were unceremoniously placed on the table, and no further attention was given to us until another couple arrived and received the same treatment. Our tablecloth was stained, as was my daughter's cup. The sandwich selection was lackluster, with only the cheese sandwiches having enough filling, but they were dry and flavorless. The cakes included a decent b...
