Afternoon Tea at Mercure Wolverhampton Goldthorn Hotel in Wolverhampton

Excellent service from Luke & Sara.lovely choice of sandwiches, scones, cake, cheesecake, profiteroles, tea and Prosecco thank you

I recently celebrated my birthday with 18 friends and family, I booked the Oakland Suite (private use for my afternoon tea party). We had a lovely afternoon, very relaxed, cakes, scones and sandwiches were delicious and our host (sorry I didn't get his name) was very attentive and checked we had everything we needed at appropriate intervals during the afternoon. A big thank you to Alison and her team, who were very helpful with my arrangements and sandwich choices (for the fussy eaters!).

Después de viajar una distancia considerable, el té de la tarde fue muy bienvenido. Se sirve en el salón. Los niños disfrutaron de pizza y una bebida fría mientras los adultos metido en huevos benedict y té. Nada era demasiado problema para el personal muy amable.

Había comida de tres platos con cupón de Groupon. Comida era bueno sin embargo mis amigos taza estaba sucia, como el café tenía la piel. El camarero no Swap cuando nos dijeron.

Fui allí con mis dos hijas y mi nieta en un bono wowcher. Ya habíamos estado en otro lugar local para el té de la tarde, pero esto no fue tan bueno como el Goldthorn Hotel. Nos lo pasamos de maravilla aquí y sin duda lo recomendaría. La camarera era amable y agradable pidiendo mi nieta lo que quería de beber (tenía sólo 10). El vino era muy apetecible, no el extractor habitual de pintura. Los bocadillos eran una maravilla y fresco con una buena opción. Todos disfrutamos el hecho de que había algo para picar, así como los bocadillos y pasteles y bollos. La única pequeña pega era que la crema de ir con los bollos estaba helado squirty, mucho mejor hubiera sido gruesas nata montada. Nos impresionó tanto que estamos esperando otra DEA wowcher para que podamos ir againl.

I took my family (5 adults) for afternoon tea as a treat which you have to book. Staff welcoming and when we got to the table we all noticed how dirty with dried food and stains were on all the seats and also the carpet well worn and thread bare in places. We were told what we would have and in what order, firstly we have tomatoes soup with croutons which was small bowl portion but tasty, then we all had a glass of wine. Then came a small 2 tier plate with a selection of sandwiches of cheese and pickle, ham and tomatoes, tuna, and egg. On the top plate there were 5 pieces of dried small fruit cake and 5 small scones. We were served 1 small Bowl of spray cream which went watery and 1 little plastic pot of jam. We had a large pot of tea. Whilst I accept that I personally do have a healthy appetite, I must say that the sandwiches were poor, bread thin and quantity not enough for five, poor quality. Cost per head £10.00 would not go back again.

Treated my parents and daughter for an afternoon tea as part of my Mums 80th birthday celebrations. The restaurant was completely deserted on our arrival which was a little disconcerting. The waitress was working alone she informed us, and would be with us as soon as she'd finished serving somebody else. She did return after 5 minutes to ask if we wanted wine (quite odd as this was part of the package). The wine duly arrived and was fine and the food arrived some five minutes later. Sadly it went down hill from here. The sandwiches had spent far too long in the fridge (possibly left overs from a previous night's buffet) and were of poor quality - a meagre slice of ham with horrid rind on it and cut in half. No dainty little finger sandwiches like on the pictures. The other options were cheese and pickle and tuna and cucumber. To give her credit the waitress did ask if we wanted any more and went off to prepare some fresh ones but by the time she returned the moment had gone. Crisps and peanuts were included but no fancy little cakes as we'd expected, we got a scone with cream and sachets of jam and a slice of horrid 'fruit cake'. The waitress asked if we would like cheese cake which was the only saving grace of the whole experience. The choice of drink was tea or coffee. When it arrived I mentioned that at other locations there was a choice of beverage to which the waitress pointed to a table with some sachets of tea on it! Perhaps I've got 'afternoon tea' wrong but on my previous experiences I've felt a little bit pampered regardless as to if I'd bought a discount voucher or paid the full £14.40 per head. My parents celebrated their wedding anniversary there 60 years ago but I doubt they'll be back for their Diamond celebrations. A very disappointing experience at the Mercure Goldthorn Hotel!

We were served a very uninspiring Afternoon Tea. No imagination was used with the fillings for the sandwiches: egg, tuna and ham. And we were very disappointed to be served with only one scone each (which certainly didn't taste "home made") with fresh cream, and jam presented in sachets. Afternoon Teas nowadays consist of a nice variety of bread with fillings like smoked salmon, cream cheese, ham/beef off the bone together with a selection of homemade cakes
