Afternoon Tea At Stapleford Park

This was a great day for us rowdy lot started off as a meeting finished off with a good few drinks delicious food

Visited for a family catch up. One of us gluten intolerant so we pre booked ahead. Arrived and were seated, left for probably 20 minutes looking at the menu. Overall service was very slow. At times when we were looking for a member of staff there was no one in the afternoon tea room, not in the bar. Table set up had items missing. Due to lack of staff, it was then hard to find anyone to resolve things that weren't right for example when the afternoon tea arrived with the jam and cream there were no spoons provided, and in the absence of being able to find a member of staff we used our teaspoons, and tea refills took a very long time as there were no staff around. So disappointed with the quality of the gluten free cakes, see photo. In summary, personal experience was disappointing and would not return for afternoon tea.

It was our first time here as it was a treat for my wife's birthday . We were greeted with a warm welcome by Reception and then we met Karolina who was our hostess for the afternoon . Karolina was the perfect host and explained what was going to happen . She was very pleasant and personable with an infectious smile . Nothing was too much trouble for her and she and the other staff were all pleasant when we were served . We had the Vegan Afternoon tea and also were asked if there was any allergies or any foods that we didn't like . The Tea selection was very good and we had two lots of teas each The finger sandwiches didn't disappoint and we both had two helpings . As it was my wife Esther's birthday they did her a birthday message in chocolate with some sweets on them which I thought was a nice touch. The scones and cakes were lovely and the right size with plenty of variety . The dining suite was beautiful and in keeping with the buildings heritage . We couldn't fault the service and standards they were 5 We even had chit chat with the barman on our exit to check out the gardens. We would definitely recommend this to anyone and a special thanks to Karolina who made our visit most memorable. Hope to see again, maybe a Spa day or Overnight stay. Thanks once again Esther Wayne xx

Excellent afternoon tea for our Anniversary. Very attentive staff without being intrusive. A good variety of well filled sandwiches. Both fruit and plain scones and a lovely selection of cakes. Plus a plentiful supply of tea. Highly recommended. Only quibble we struggled to find reception when arriving!!

My wife and I attended Stapleford Park for afternoon tea on Friday February 10th, as part of a Golden Wedding celebration. It's a wonderful venue, with lots of car parking space. The tea room supervisor, Karolina, was most kind, thoughtful and attentive. The service was superb. The afternoon tea was delicious; a glass of champagne to start, then scrummy finger sandwiches, delicious scones and cakes. I have absolutely no hesitation in recommending this establishment. We'll definately be back for more!
