    Extremely poor service from one individual member of staff - had an issue with the champagne glass which we had filled to which no apology and said would check it out - came back with an empty glass with no apology - didn’t say anything and tried to walk off before we shouted her back to get it refilled with what she had clearly thrown away and rinsed the glass out! Very poor I’m afraid

    High tea for 1 vegetarian and 3 normal. All fine with the 3 tier stand but the hot elements first came as 4 standard, had to ask for the vegetarian. Food was good, service was a bit lacking

    The Byfords Festivi-Tea was excellent. From the savoury bites, to the festive sandwiches, the small cakes were a delight, who knew you could have a mince pie macaron, it really worked. Thanks for a fabulous afternoon and to your wonderfully trained, friendly, attentive staff. Look forward to seeing you all again in March, we have golden tickets to redeem too.

    Lovely building, food was on the main quite good, however some of the cakes were a bit dry…we had a lovely lady serving us who had broken her toe and was still very attentive, although there was a male server who clearly needed some deodorant! And no Christmas music whilst having a rather expensive festive afternoon tea! 😟 Will definitely try somewhere else next year.
