    My first time at The Mercure restaurant I was extremely disappointed. It was my 40th birthday and decided to go for afternoon tea with my family. Unfortunately the sausage rolls and scones were very undercooked. Sandwiches looked messy and not well presented at all. I did receive a little discount but it did spoil the occasion. The restaurant looked lovely and was very quiet but I unfortunately won’t be going back.

    The down stairs bar would not be my choice for afternoon tea. The upstairs bar has a far better outlook and more comfortable.

    No selection of sandwiches for a vegetarian only egg!! Only given 1 drink. Came in December and had gone up £10 now and the food wasn't worth, with the selection we got!! The scones were tiny. They are normally a proper size. We have been doing afternoon tea here for the last 2 years and this was the worst!!

    It was lovely getting together with my siblings. Just enough food so no waste and definitely value for money. It was a Christmas afternoon tea and the staff made the effort with party hats etc Thank you

    No disabled access from garage area. STAIRS! Ambience of Kind's Bar was lovely. Not noisy, comfortable heat and nice seating. Staff were unobtrusive, but helpful. The afternoon tea stand was prepared fresh, unfortunately the scones were a little on the dry side and just cream and jam, no butter. We got a special extra. It was my friends birthday and they gave us an extra portion of cake. The cherry macarons were lush, however, the pistachio ones were not so flavourful. Some unusual flavour paring, and colouring, but overall tasty and filling tea. We also had two pots of tea during the afternoon. Nothing was too much trouble for the cheerful and attentive staff. I'm going back. Great value and felt special.

    We had booked for afternoon tea for 3 and thought we would be in the restaurant upstairs as that is what the booking said. We were moved to the bar as obviously the restaurant was not busy which was ok but it would have been nice to have been aware of this from the booking. staff really good and lovely quality of food.
