Having enjoyed a previous visit as a reunion with old school friends I was looking for an excuse for a return visit. I brought my friend for her birthday and we both thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea & the staff on duty made my friend feel really special. Can't wait for my next visit. Also looking at attending one of the themed events as well ☺

I was a little disappointed as I booked online for afternoon tea with my daughter and stated we were vegetarian. On arrival we were given a cake stand with both chicken and salmon sandwiches on. When I said we were vegetarian the waitress offered to remove them and took away our stand. However when she brought it back it just had gaps where those sandwiches had been - they hadn't been replaced with any non meat sandwiches. Since our afternoon tea cost the same as everyone else's I would have expected the same number of sandwiches. However the scones were delicious, as were the selection of mini cakes and the tea.

I have been to the Catwalk Cafe many times & never been disappointed. So when my sister & Niece came from South Africa for a visit I wanted them to experience a truly British experience. And what better place than the Catwalk. Needless to say they were delighted with the whole afternoon. Especially the lovely gifts they bought from the shop. Our afternoon tea was delicious. We were pleasantly served by two waitresses who looked after our every need. The whole afternoon was a delight. Thank you & I'll be back. Liz C

My friend and I had tea here on Saturday and what a delicious tea it was! Loads of sandwiches, scones and cakes, all for the unbeatable price of £15 per person! The cafe was beautifully decorated, lovely music and fantastic service. We couldn't finish everything so they put the remainder in a box for us to take away. They were meant to shut at 5pm and we were so busy chatting that we didn't notice the time. They never hurried us out or asked us to leave, they were so friendly! We really couldn't have asked for more. And their themed days look fantastic! A great, great afternoon.

Thus was the 2nd time myself and my friend have been for afternoon tea. The setting is lovely and love the crockery and attentive survey. The sandwiches in the afternoon tea were lovely and so were the scones with jam and cream ( seperate spoons for jam and cream would be good. The cakes look lovely however the fruit tart was bendy (we remembered this from the 1st visit), the pastry on the lemon slice was undercooked and what looked like a mini trifle was just jelly with custard on top and no way to get a mix of the layers on the spoon. The tea was plentiful however in this visit the same teapot was used repeatedly (love the unique silver teapots and jugs) and it really needed to be descaled. It took two days for my teeth to feel normal, very strange. The experience is really good just need to improve cakes/top layer 3.5/5

Took my husband for his birthday, who loved the whole experience. The restaurant itself is the best feature - the decoration, tiered food plates, teacups and plates etc. The food was lovely, well presented and the cakes looked amazing. The staff were well presented, and very pleasant, but looked a little like they might be clock-watching for home time. Over all though, great experience and I would recommend it to others.

Our afternoon tea at Catwalk Cafe in Knowle was absolutely wonderful. The sandwiches were freshly made and they were a lovely selection. The cakes were delicious and very morish! I would recommend afternoon tea here to everyone! Looking forward to another visit very soon!
