Fantastic
A wonderful location and fabulous afternoon tea. We bought it as a gift for our friends but also bought a voucher for ourselves as we had been previously and had a lovely experience. The gentleman and lady serving were both attentive and not intrusive.

Lovely afternoon tea in fab setting
Having the afternoon tea in the castle setting, nestled amongst the woods was fantastic! The tea itself was lovely- very good quality and just the right amount. The service was great- the waitress who was attending to us was friendly and very professional. Would highly recommend.

Lovely afternoon tea
We went to the Best Western Normanton Hotel for afternoon tea on the 18 March. We had been there last week to meet up with friends, so we knew how well we would be looked after. The whole experience was very good with excellent service. I am Gluten Free and although telling them when I booked it when we got there it hadn’t been passed on to the kitchen staff. However it didn’t spoil our afternoon. We had a glass each of ‘bubbles’. The food was very varied and was very tasty. My husband had a selection similar to mine on a separate stand. We had to ask for a box so we could take what we couldn’t eat. So we have some lovely cakes etc still to enjoy. Thank you very much for everything.

Good food, service and great value
Booked via Buyagift, on arrival the table already setup with the specific Buyagift 2/3 course menu. Although not all the usual mains available to choose from but still has enough variety. Desserts really nice. Overall very good value.

The Best Afternoon Tea
Such an amazing venue. Really comfortable, traditional lounge area to relax and enjoy your A/tea. Staff were attentive but not overpowering.
Would thoroughly recommend & will definitely be going again.
