Lovely Afternoon Tea
The afternoon tea at Stanton Manor Hotel was one of the best I’ve had. There were dainty sandwiches (with crusts cut off), small bites of 3 different types of cake & both plain & fruit scones with jam & cream or maybe cream & jam if you prefer! The staff were friendly but didn’t hover around you. We were offered refills of tea on several occasions without having to ask. It was a beautiful sunny afternoon so we took the time to walk around the garden & then just enjoy the peace & quiet in the shade of an umbrella on the patio. A fabulous way to spend an afternoon & would definitely go back.

Good experience
Beautiful setting overlooking the river. Good weather enabled tea to be taken outside but we were given a choice on this. Staff were welcoming and attentive without interfering. Good choice of food provided.

What a lovely treat!
My boyfriend and I were given this voucher for Christmas and decided to use it in Bath on Good Friday. It felt like a real treat! In the S&L, the staff were attentive, and the food was delicious and plentiful. We also had two soft or hot drinks included. Highly recommended!

Great gift, simple to redeem, excellent retailer slug and lettuce
We went to the slug and lettuce, hanover street - the food was very good and the service was excellent. The afternoon tea was much better than expected instead of just plain bread for the sandwiches it was focaccia and brioche and the dessert was very good quality. Surroundings were clean and beautifully presented. Very instagrammable and modern designs
