Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Cleeve

We’ve never dined inside before, always visited in summer and sat outside. This was a family Christmas get together and we weren’t disappointed

I’ve been to the Ivy many times and we were visiting for my sister’s birthday. The venue is lovely which is why I always come here for special occasions. Our server was friendly and helpful. Everyone was really happy with their meals and good size portions too. The buffalo mozzarella was very delicious. Lovely gesture to give my sister a free desert with a candle in it.

From the moment we arrived we were welcomed in warmly. The table was dressed festively. Our waitress (sorry I cannot remember her name) was lovely and helpful and confirmed that our special requirements of no fish had been noted. The food was delicious and there was a good choice of cakes and mini desserts as well as the normal scones, clotted cream and jam. However, the homemade mince pie was simply superb. I am 57yrs old and eaten a lot of mince pies over the years, and I can say this was THE BEST MINCE PIE I have ever eaten!!

The afternoon tea was a delight. A wonderful selection of cakes that was more than we could possibly eat. The staff was kind and nothing was too much trouble. The dining room is spacious but relaxing. We would most definitely recommend this as it was a super price and a lovely experience.

Amazing afternoon tea; seated in the Lanson Champagne bar and were practically the only guests sitting for a 4PM tea. Wonderfully decadent to have the place virtually to ourselves on Christmas Eve Eve!
