This is one of the best afternoon teas we have ever enjoyed! Why? The service was superb. Anna was so attentive, friendly & professional and nothing was too much trouble. Also Bryn went over and beyond to get permission to give us a tour of the infamous pool once he had actually finished his shift. Incredible. The passion and dedication of both was exceptional. Thank you. Now, the food … delicious and wonderfully plentiful, as a vegetarian extremely well catered for. When you’re ready, your plate, knife and tea are refreshed, and the gently warmed scones arrive, not just with the obligatory clotted cream and jam of course, but also homemade lemon curd - wonderful! We have wanted to visit Cliveden for many years, and everything exceeded our expectations!

Absolutely stunning location and superb view as we had requested a window table. It was a very hot day and so the sandwiches were dry and the cakes melting. I think everything had been prepared for a while and left to wilt! Food: The sandwiches were very poor with mean fillings and white bread. The savouries were delicious. The cakes were delicious but had melted and needed to be scraped off the plate. Scones - delicious although only 2 bowls of cream and jam for 3 of us. The 1st pot of tea was delicious but the refill had obviously been made for ages as it was strong, bitter and undrinkable. I hesitate to recommend it but perhaps we were just unlucky as rarely is England so hot. However do go around the house and grounds - perhaps better to take a picnic or eat at the Orangerie for a lot less than £200!

Spectacular grounds and setting for afternoon tea but the scones were basically inedible and sandwiches were subpar. Don’t bother again.

We were enjoying a pre-wedding celebration of afternoon tea and it met every expectation and more. We all had a wonderful time. Our dietary needs were extremely well catered for and the food was perfect. We were made to feel very special, especially the bride to be and thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon tea experience. Huge thanks to the chefs, waiting and other staff for their attentiveness and professionalism.

We had the traditional afternoon tea set for a celebration in a sunny pleasant afternoon. All the lovely savoury bites are just outstanding, pairing so nicely with the champagne - available in Brut or Rose. Staff members are very friendly and could not think of what to be improved.

We celebrated my Fathers 88th birthday at Cliveden with afternoon tea. The service was exceptional. We asked if we could re-locate to a window table and this was executed within minutes and with the minimum amount of fuss. The staff were attentive, one waitress noticing my Mother was struggling with the height of the seat and immediately provided a cushion. The tea itself was superb, sandwiches, savouries, scones, jam, lemon curd and cakes. An excellent selection of teas as well. They even provided a happy birthday plate of chocolate gateau for my Father. My parents are afternoon tea connoisseurs and were very impressed. I am most grateful to all the staff for ensuring it was such a memorable occasion. Would definitely return.

We had a delightful 3-day break in February. It was everything you expect from a high-end country house hotel. And it is set in vast National Trust gardens and grounds that you can explore to your heart’s content. The spa was warm and relaxing, my friend had a terrific facial, and we got to swim in “that” swimming pool. We enjoyed the tasting menu one evening, which was impressive. Throughout, the service was excellent and also very personable, very unstuffy without being at all over-familiar. We enjoyed it all very much, but we both agreed that the highlight was afternoon tea. I can’t recommend it highly enough - and I have sampled both the Ritz and Fortnums. It was delicious and generous and surprisingly good value, and the aforementioned service was just perfect; go treat yourself.

Fairly disappointing experience with afternoon tea. The quality of the food is very mediocre for the type of establishment - we have had better afternoon tea at the Ivy, for example. We had a vegetarian in the party which staff knew about from the booking, and confirmed with us at the start. Still they brought non-vegetarian afternoon tea twice - sent back on the first occasion and they still brought meat/fish options out. Staff were not overly friendly or apologetic. For anyone veggie, vegan or with allergies, you clearly could not trust staff to be mindful of this.

Came here for afternoon tea with an overseas visitor last week who absolutely loved it. It’s a great location for abit of nostalgic glamour and history of notorious events over the years! The good bits: Easy to book online, easy to park right outside the House, attentive and friendly service, sandwiches/savoury items and pastries all very yummy. My only reason for 4* is that the £55 per person quoted is actually £62 by the time service is added on (we have a NT card so that was already deducted). Not the end of the world and I’ll happily go again!

I recently visited Cliveden House on 27th December for Afternoon Tea with family who were visiting from Switzerland. It was supposed to be a special experience in a beautiful setting instead it was ruined by two young children running around shouting and having temper tantrum's. I was disappointed that none of the staff serving Afternoon Tea raised this with the children's parents. I raised this with the Hotel Staff when leaving whose response was disappointing as their only action was a unconvincing apology. Having visited the Hotel on many previous occasions I will think twice before booking again . Very disappointed.

We had received vouchers for afternoon tea as a gift. We arrived a couple of hours early to walk around the amazing grounds of Cliveden. We could have spent longer as there’s so much to see and do. We then went into the amazing house for our afternoon tea at 4.00pm. The setting, the food and the staff were all perfect. Loved it!!

We visited Cliveden for afternoon tea to celebrate a special family occasion, The food was absolutely dreadful, freezing cold sandwiches which were stale at the edges and filled with tiny amount of fatty meat, bland stale savories and scones served with a tiny pot of cream and jam for 7 people! My sisters coffee pot had washing up liquid foaming around the lid. The staff were bored, indifferent an everything was far too much trouble for them. The cost was over £400 for under £20 of very poor quality stale food and rude staff. Our family are huge fans of afternoon tea and like to try a new venue for a special occasion, two of our party had come hundreds of miles and one was from overseas who wanted to try a traditional British afternoon tea, I was so embarrassed by the quality and the food and indifferent service. This is certainly not a venue where you will be warmly welcomed and treated to a special experience as we were made to feel we were nothing but an inconvenience and then hugely overcharged for the privileged!!.

First may we let all readers of this review that this is by far in our top five NT sites in the UK. Wonderful gardens and a vivid and controversial history that we found fascinating. Now for the big, big let down. On the way out we decided that as hunger had set in, we would stop at the hut by the car park for a bite to eat. Now what kind of eating establishment has run out of everything apart from Sausage Rolls by 1:15pm!?!? Yep, lunchtime and no food left. To add insult to injury, I asked for a vegan sausage roll only for the patronising girl assistant to state 'don't bother, it tastes awful, like stuffing in pastry'. But they had none left so why say that? The staff actually thought it was funny. Not however funny to a type1 diabetic in need of food. A lesson in customer service is badly needed. Our advice? Bring your own food!!!!

Visited for afternoon tea and was a little disappointed. My friend and I have had a few afternoon teas over the years including Blenheim Palace, Charlie and the chocolate factory and the Ritz and whilst the service at Cliveden equalled these the food selection and quality was disappointing especially the savoury options, these were dry, bland and uneventful, the sweet selection was a little better but nothing overly exciting, sandwiches probably the best bit, despite these also being quite plain. For the price I was left underwhelmed and would rate the well behind the other places mentioned in the review.

We had the most wonderful Afternoon Tea Experience at Cliveden. The service was excellent as was the afternoon tea. Taking into account the most wonderful location and property we feel this was far better than the Ritz London. Well done to all those staff involved....

Nice atmosphere, friendly staff. The croissants are nice but not perfect, they need a little more bite. We gave them 6/10. The coffee was a bit disappointing, only 5/10. Great to see Monmouth beans used, but to be completely honest, the finished product is a level below independent coffee shops in London. The ratio of milk to coffee and water to coffee were off in our flat white and black americano, respectively. Still, nice place and I hope if they read this review they can take the comments constructively, because Beaconsfield needs a good independent coffee shop and we're counting on you!

Quite busy for a Wednesday lunchtime, but space enough for the 4 of us. Ordered 1 x fish & Chips, 1 x Scampi & Chips & 1 x Fish pie which was shared by 2 (to be honest more than enough). All delicious and plates cleared. We followed with 3 x Apple Crumble & Ice cream (as opposed to custard) but when requested were more than happy to provide cream as well. AND 1 x Ice cream - I just needed something sweet, a scoop of vanilla & salted caramel . . . job done. All beautifully presented, but sadly I have no photo's as I wanted to eat, not photograph!
