Afternoon Tea in Colchester

Lovely tea near Windermere but booking it was a little confusing

I was given the afternoon tea experience as a Mother’s Day gift from my son. We booked at The Beaulieu Hotel in the New Forest. We were the only couple there at 2.30pm. Service was excellent, staff very pleasant, tea served immediately and good brought very soon after. The hotel is pretty and quaint with lovely views of the New Forest ponies grazing close by and the food was very good. Nice selection of sandwiches, warm sausage roll (really tasty), 2 small scones each but they were freshly made, warm and really delicious. In fact they were the star of the show and were served with lashings of fresh clotted cream and jam. There were also 5 other small cakes each…..we had to take some home as we were full! Plenty of tea. Really nice experience all round. Thank you Beaulieu Hotel.

Was wonderful tea with lots to eat

A nice relaxed afternoon tea in pleasant quiet surroundings. My Wife & I compared it with the other afternoon teas we have had. The service & staff were faultless. The only slight downside was the inadequate marking for the disabled parking spaces. (No signage as to their location)....

My son got me the gift, two course meal for two. Easy to book, great service at the slug and Lettuce, lovely meal. A brilliant idea for a gift

When we arrived here for afternoon tea, we found out I hadn't redeemed my voucher correctly, the lovely lady attending to us was so helpful in fixing our issue, we couldn't fault her, the afternoon tea was very well presented, and looked so inviting when it arrived on our table, have recommended to friends and would definitely visit here again if we came back to london

Had a great afternoon. The hotel brasserie was very attractively decorated. Lovely calm atmosphere. The staff were welcoming and attentive. The food was glorious. Needed a take away box as there was too much ( our grandkids really enjoyed the small cakes we took home for them). All in all a very pleasant afternoon.

This was a really good place for afternoon tea. The selection was different from the usual fair, and very welcoming. Would definitely recommend going here.

Afternoon Tea was great . Plenty of variety of food well presented and staff couldn’t do enough to make the experience wonderful.

Such a lovely afternoon. We elected to sit outside and enjoyed the piece and quiet. Afternoon tea was excellent lovely choice of sandwiches and treats. Management very friendly. The hotel is difficult to get too so make sure you use sat nav. It’s a one way street except for buses. Never the less a beautiful gift .

It was lovely and most enjoyable. Time to have uninterrupted with my daughter.

Lovely afternoon tea. Pleasant atmosphere and polite staff.
