About this restaurant

  • Good for special occasions
  • Charming
  • Fancy
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).

    Very enjoyable Afternoon Tea in pleasant and comfortable surroundings. The finger sandwiches were tasty and fresh and the savoury was delicious. The scones, accompaniments and pastries were were all very good and presented attractively. A wide range of teas, as well as coffee and hot chocolate were available and replenished on request. We chose the additional option of a glass of English sparkling wine which was a great match. Service was spot on throughout. Would definitely book again based on this experience.

    This was my first time at the Madeline Bar and I went for an afternoon tea at the Madeleine Bar to celebrate a special birthday with my friend. The service was impeccable and the food was all so amazing. They really accommodated our dietary needs (vegetarian, nut free and alcohol free) which was really nice. The teas and coffees were unlimited which was a nice touch. I had an amazing afternoon, and the price was also very reasonable for such a nice afternoon tea. Would absolutely recommend this place and would certainly coming again.

    My friends and I was really, really looking forward to or afternoon tea at the Newly Refurbished Grand Hotel , but what a massive disappointment. The afternoon tea and a glass of presoco was about £45.00 each. We started with pea soup, which was vile. The we had 3 tiny half of sandwich each. 3 tiny, tiny cakes each. 2 tiny, tiny dry and hard scones. In ours experience the afternoon teas that we have had ,at lesser well known establishments had been far better . We left hungry and not even enough food for a doggy bag. The only good thing was endless tea , but one person can only drink so much tea. Definitely not recommend.

    Afternoon Tea at this venue is pleasantly relaxing. The tableware is attractive complete with starched cotton cloths and napkins. Service is attentive without being cloying. The range of teas on offer is comprehensive. Good is very good although a criticism I would make is that the sandwiches are served 'fridge cold' thereby culling the flavours of the otherwise appealing fillings. Scones are served warm but are served with whipped double cream, not clotted. Whipped double cream is inferior in taste and quality as an accompaniment to scones. The patisserie was well executed but needs a little more imagination and variety. The 3 items served were distinguishable by taste and appearance but we're all misused enriched in differing chocolate. The Madeleine bar is a comfortable, quiet venue in which to enjoy a pleasant afternoon tea.

    We had a wonderful experience at The Grand. From the moment we arrived, the staff were welcoming, attentive, and very informative, making us feel completely at ease. The food was exceptional where every dish was thoughtfully prepared and full of flavour. The decor was equally impressive, beautifully capturing the elegance of a bygone era. A truly memorable visit. We’ll definitely be back for another visit.

    Madeleine's is a lovely bar but our overall experience wasn't great. Delay in being served.
    Madeleine BarResponded on 13 May 2025
    Dear Maureen, Thank you very much for choosing Madeleine and taking the time to share your experience with us, your feedback is invaluable to us as it helps us improve. I am very sorry your latest experience fell short of the standards you've come to expect : rest assured I took the matter in my own hands and held a meeting to address the issues you raised to the wider team; I also spoke with our head chef regarding the portion of our salads to have more bacon. We can only improve taking in account valuable feedback so I would like to have the pleasure in welcoming you back to our Bar in the future, when we can restore your faith in our bar and be back to be your favourite bar. Warm Regards, Dan Vignali Madeleine Bar Manager
