Summer of Afternoon Tea

Super easy to book the experience with clear instructions, really looking forward to afternoon tea which was a Christmas gift ??

The day out was great in all respects. But we had been given a gift and could choose anything up to the gift price. We knew we had to buy the experience before Sunday, but thought, due to all the BuyaGift pages saying, 'valid for a year', that once noted it was valid for a year. No. The experience had to be taken by the expiry date too and that's not made clear enough. Luckily we had decided to do it now so did not lose out. It costs £20 to extend the voucher. So I'd say, don't bother with an open voucher that can be used for anything, get the experience itself. Added to which, I was emailed a load of cheaper offers for the same experience but couldn't use them as I had been given a gift voucher. It was all a bit frustrating, but the day out, seeing the animals and tea were great.

Impressive Location, food and service excellent. Would certainly come back .

The experience was great, the location is fantastic with a great view across the city, the afternoon tea was perfect all ingredients were delicious and presented on a lovely stand. We were so impressed we will definitely be going back.

We really enjoyed our evening here. Great cocktails. Marvellous service. Lovely food. All at a great price! Will definitely Buy a Gift to go here or for someone else in the future.

A lovely afternoon looking out across the Birmingham skyline on a bright sunny afternoon. The afternoon tea was so plentiful that we could not eat it all and had to bring some home! Plenty of hot tea, with refills on request. Would highly recommend.

This treat is always a hit when my friend and I visit. The sandwiches are fresh, the filling plentiful, cakes delicious! All presented so delightfully. The tea kept coming and we were left to chat and eat, with no one rushing us or fussing around. The staff are attentive, and very pleasant and friendly. Please don't change anything - we love it!

We had a fantastic day at Shawsgate Vineyard. The tour was extremely informative and the guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The lunch consisted of cheese, ham, salad and bread with a delicious cheesecake for dessert. There was no choice, but the food was good. The wine tasting involved quite a lot of wine, and we were able to choose a glass of our favourite for lunch - something to consider if you are driving! I would highly recommend this!

I can’t begin to say how happy I was celebrating my husbands birthday at Taj 51! The Indian Jasmine Afternoon Tea was so delicious . Made even better by the wonderful service we received . The staff were not only very friendly but were extremely thoughtful in making our experience unforgettable. Thank you !

Fab afternoon tea, food was innovative and delicious with generous glass of bubbles. Staff were excellent, very attentive and friendly. Would recommend as a special treat.

This pub was very welcoming and the interior superb. Hazel who served us, and took my booking was very helpful and efficient. The pub was very clean including the toilets. The afternoon tea had a lovely selection of sandwiches and cakes, including two glasses of fizz and scones with plenty of tea provided. We took left over cakes home in a box provided. We looked at the menu, while we were there, whilst drinking more tea! we shall certainly visit again for sure.

Delicious food, great service, beautiful castle and grounds. Would recommend this gift.
