Please note our Afternoon Tea is served Wednesday - Sunday from 13:00 - 16:30 and we ask you to pre-book to avoid disappointment.

Madeleine follows the tradition of grand hotels with luxurious cocktail bars: its double-height windows, sparkling chandeliers, and rich soft furnishings make it at once super-glamorous and utterly enticing.

We think that once you are sat at your table, sipping a cocktail or a glass of Champagne, you won’t want to leave – and who can blame you? We welcome you to enjoy some light French inspired snacks whilst with us, or why not indulge fully in our impressive Afternoon Tea, handcrafted by Head Pastry Chef, Roger Lomas, and his innovative team.

Our hope is to establish Madeleine as somewhere that’s exclusively for everyone, a glamorous setting that’s perfect for special occasions, celebrations, and treats but equally somewhere you can drop by on the spur of the moment (subject to availability, of course).

    I love the cozy, sophisticated elegance of Madeleine‘s bar. Good quality cocktails and wine. Polite staff. What I don’t like is the 12 5% service charge adding to our bill for drinks? I was also a bit annoyed at the waiter presenting the bill and then hovering over us until we paid.
    Madeleine BarResponded today
    Dear Michelle, Thank you for the review. Albeit not perfect, it does give us some focus on things to work on, so I appreciate that. In response to the discretionary service charge. It gets automatically added to every bill but can be removed at request. We hope to see you again soon. Warm Regards, Beth Partridge Madeleine Lounge Floor Manager

    Beautiful surroundings, lovely ambience, cosy and relaxed. Afternoon tea was served in a relaxed way in which we did not feel rushed at all and all staff were wonderfully attentive. Food was delicious, drinks were piping hot and everything tasted premium. This was for my mums Christmas present and she had a fabulous experience so thank you so much.
