    Very easy booking the date for our afternoon tea and on arriving all the staff were so polite, helpful and friendly too. The contents of the afternoon tea was described to us and not only looked amazing but was so delicious. I would definitely return.

    We had a dinner at the Rise restaurant. It was a real delight. Food was exquisite and delicious, atmosphere was great and service was fantastic. We ordered a couple of starters, a famous beef Wellington for two and desserts. Everything was absolutely delicious. Beef Wellington was melting in the mouth. Much better than what I tried at a Gordon Ramsey’s restaurant. Our server Vera was attentive and hospitable. She recommended us wine pairing and explained the dishes and made us feel very welcome, indeed. We had a lovely dinner. I highly recommend this restaurant.

    Always great dining experiences at the hotel, the chefs are both creative & talented. Some of the options was exotic (fizzy tea!) but the staff are attentive & gracious. We enjoyed the afternoon tea very much. Thanks.

    This afternoon tea was just ok, I expected more given the hotel. I had originally booked Betty’s Tea Room but then read some blogs about how The Grand had better ambience and food. Unfortunately I don’t think that was the case. The sandwiches weren’t the best and the scones were just eh.
    The Rise Restaurant - The Grand, YorkResponded on 8 May 2025
    Dear Nina, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback following your recent visit for afternoon tea at The Rise. We truly appreciate all guest insights, as they help us continuously improve. We are genuinely sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations, especially after choosing us over another venue. We always aim to deliver a memorable and high-quality afternoon tea, and it’s disappointing to learn that the food fell short for you on this occasion. Your comments regarding the sandwiches and scones have been shared with our kitchen team for review. We would love the opportunity to welcome you back in the future and provide the elevated experience you were hoping for. Warm regards, Kate Cameron F&B Administrator
