Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Hoarwithy

Excellent menu choices, delicious food, friendly helpful staff, great ambience. Loved the railway theme. Felt like I was in First Class!

I have been to this restaurant 3 times and for me it is the best place in Cheltenham so far. Every time I try different dishes they are wonderful, my last visit to the restaurant was on January 7th and I was a little disappointed, the location is wonderful, the staff are professionally trained, the interior is laconic, but my dishes did not bring me pleasure this time! The shrimp cocktail salad had wilted greens, they changed it for me but the second option was not better (the lettuce legs had a reddish tint, which indicates that the salad has been stored for 3-5 days already) this is not acceptable in a restaurant of this level. The second course was beef cheeks with mashed potatoes. The degree of roasting of the meat corresponded to the order and the texture was tender, but the bitter taste of the fried crust on top prevented me from enjoying the meat (it seemed to me that the upper part of the meat was overcooked). And so the last visit to the restaurant did not bring me pleasure from the food, but we had fun and we had a good time!

Fabulous experience, one of the best afternoon teas I’ve had for a long time. Attentive but not obtrusive. Delicious and gave takeaway box as we couldn’t eat all the cakes. Will definitely recommend and visit again! Staff a credit. Warm and friendly. Excellent presentation of delicious food.

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!!

Beautiful presentation. The scones were delicious. The clotted cream and jam only brought out more of the delightful flavor of the scones. I have had an opportunity to try multiple different scones from different places and this is my favorite. Highly recommend. The sandwiches were also delicious.
