The afternoon tea was a triumph. Nice setting, easy to get to and park. Staff were amazing, very attentive and very polite, always asking if everything was okay. The food itself was certainly plentiful, and so… fresh. The sandwiches were tasty and full of flavour, the small pastries were delicious, and as for the scones, they came out very fresh and still warm. Unlimited tea, which was nice. So all in all, a great experience, very much value for money, and will definitely recommend this to anyone.

Lovely afternoon tea with a great selection of sandwiches, cakes & warm scones. Unlimited tea and coffee with lots of choice too. Staff were friendly and explained what each thing was when they were put on the table. Catered for veggies with tasty alternatives too.

Would highly recommend. Have just had afternoon tea delivered for my mums birthday which was yesterday as a surprise for today. My mum has just called to say how absolutely fantastic it was and such a lovely surprise. I cannot recommend enough :) and so easy to order and sort. If you are out of ideas of what to buy someone you can't go wrong with this.

The second time we’ve ordered a home delivery afternoon tea from The Dining Room, this time Rachael had created an Easter-themed selection. Everything was delicious, a lovely treat for us and also one delivered to my in-laws too. Thoroughly recommend.
