"Went for Beauty and The Beast afternoon tea yesterday. Utterly stunning building and the room we were sat in was decorated beautifully. The service from start to finish was lovely although we did have to flag someone down anytime we needed something as we were not approached at all for more drinks or if we wanted our scones. The sandwiches were lovely and cut perfectly if not a little bland. The chicken roll was lovely and the toastie was nice but would benefit from stronger cheese as it didn’t really taste of anything. The scones were perfect and some of the best I’ve ever eaten. The sausage rolls were amazing as were the little tart and salmon mousse. The cakes very much let it all down. The blueberry cake tasted of nothing and seemed greasy. The macaron again tasted of very little and the red food colouring stained everything it touched. The lemon cake was nice but the icing was awful and it seemed to be made from margarine rather than actual butter. The chocolate mousse was lovely if not a little strong for the children. Both the savoury and sweet biscuits were out of this world. Our biggest complaint is that 4 of us were squeezed into a small table. We really struggled for space. I couldn’t drink my tea and had to hand back my pot of tea as we simply didn’t have space for it. We felt incredibly cramped. It would of been nice to have some music in line with the themed afternoon tea playing too perhaps?"

I had a wonderful afternoon tea at this restaurant. The atmosphere was pleasant, although it was quite busy as it was a Saturday. Overall, it was a great experience.

I recently experienced a stunning and delicious 'Beauty and the Beast' themed Afternoon Tea at this restaurant. The presentation was beautiful, the food was imaginative and utterly delicious. The atmosphere was lovely, the staff attentive, and the surroundings elegant. The experience was made even more special when the staff surprised my daughter with a Birthday cake and card. Truly a special place.

My first visit to this restaurant. It’s in a classical setting with a pleasant atmosphere. The service was very good, staff polite and attentive. The menu was very limited, I was expecting to eat a meal but the closest I could get was soup, and small container of chips and a sandwich. I get the impression they focus on the afternoon teas at lunchtime. The dessert menu was different variations of ice cream or 3 types of cake so again very limited. I would like to return for an evening meal. The cost was £80 for 3 mains, 3 drinks and 2 slices of cake.

Attended The Assembly House for an afternoon tea experience. The venue is beautiful and transports you to a time of high society, as though you are stepping into an Austen novel. The afternoon tea was beautifully displayed and contained an array of different savoury and sweet treats be sure to bring your appetite as it is plentiful, however, they are happy to give you a box to take home any extras you didn't manage. Service was a little slow and we had to capture attendants attention rather than be checked upon throughout our service depends on whether you'd prefer to be left to enjoy or interrupted at regular intervals.
