Afternoon Tea At Greywalls

Greywalls as an institution never fails to deliver a positive experience welcoming, courteous, food served beautifully and tasting wonderful great for a special occasion treat

Poor quality ingredients margarine on the sandwiches and perhaps the toughest portion of turkey I’ve ever been served. Wedge of pannetone felt lazy and disappointing. Is there a pastry chef?

I want to thank everyone for another wonderful meal. We came here to celebrate a 60th wedding anniversary during lunchtime. From the beginning to the end, this restaurant consistently delivers exceptional service. Keep up the great work! Ver carta

The gardens are stunning, the atmosphere allows you to unwind and feel spoilt, the afternoon tea is delicious and more tea comes as you need it. You can choose to retire to the sofas and crackling fires. The building itself is beautiful, quirky and elegant in equal measure.

My husband and I had afternoon tea as a combined birthday treat. It is a very grand venue so had the opportunity of dressing up for the occasion. The elegance of the venue together with the scrumptious selection of mouthwatering savoury and sweet treats served was wonderful. Delicate and prepared to delight the eye and palate. Feeling like Royalty we sauntered round the magnificent gardens before heading home. A lovely treat.

We sat together in the library, enjoying our luxurious tea, as if we were the family in residence. In soft comfortable chairs and sofa, we ate delicate sandwiches, the most delicious scones and light numerous cakes and nibbles. The staff were friendly but left us to enjoy our repast without interference or any sense that there was any rush. The ambience was country living without any hassle but with a talented chef hidden the background. It was relaxing and luxurious, just the way afternoon tea should be. Ver carta

Visited Greywalls for a family afternoon tea. What a great afternoon it turn out to be! Like so many of the other reviews, Greywalls is one of the best places for afternoon tea. Great selection of cakes, excellent bread sandwiches and wonderful warm savouries. Staff could not have been more friendly and nothing was too much trouble for them (one of the family was vegan but this was no problem). We were looking forward to exploring the wonderful gardens but unfortunately the rain was on for the afternoon. Will have to come back to have lunch next time and hopefully views the garden. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We arrived and parked on the side of the driveway leading up to the main door of the hotel. Coats taken, we were shown through the hotel past a very comfortable lounge area to the small dining area. Only one other party already there. We had booked afternoon tea for four. The savoury selection one each of three small sandwiches beetroot, ham and salmon with a small dill type concoction on a spoon and a mini pastry. The sweet selection consisted of ginger cake, chocolate cake, macaroons, lemon mousse. The freshly baked plain and fruit scones were delicious with clotted cream and jam. For my taste, there should have been more savoury and less sweet items.

My friend and I won vouchers for afternoon tea here for two so we decided to take our daughters for a treat and were really looking forward to it. But we were all very disappointed. On arrival we were the only people there. We were served our coffees and drinks way before the afternoon tea was actually served and therefore had to order more drinks. My daughters friend ordered a hot chocolate that we had to return as it was obviously instant and made with hot water and was disgusting. When we ordered our second lot of drinks my daughters mocha had hardly any chocolate in it and she couldn’t drink it and then they forgot to bring my friends second coffee. By this time there were two other tabl... Ver carta
