Laura Ashley The Tea Room in South Bucks

Fabulous afternoon tea, in a recently refurbished room, beautifully decorated in lilac and silver. Ian was our host, and nothing was too much trouble! Sandwiches were really fresh and tasty, scones - plain and fruit - were warm and delicious. some small patisserie cakes too! Tea was topped up regularly, and boxes handed out if you couldn't eat it all! Would thoroughly recommend. Ian was a ⭐

We have just had a fabulous afternoon tea.(A group of 18 of us) food was fantastic and unlimited tea and coffee. Ian who greeted us an served us throughout was lovely and friendly 10/10 for Ian. The best afternoon tea in the area ..

Afternoon tea for bridal shower, 18 family and friends. Food and service was exception - looked after by Ian who couldn’t do enough for us, very professional but friendly and nothing was too much trouble. Gorgeous setting and tea room was beautiful-thank you so much for making the day perfect.

Lovely location disappointing tea - all sandwiches were dry the bread was dry from not being covered - cakes were not chilled warm and melting not after being on the table but arrived that way . I was expecting more wouldn’t go again .

We were greeted nicely on arrival, drinks were ordered and level of afternoon tea confirmed. This was a celebration for a belated 60th Birthday, with 6 guests attending of various ages. When food was first presented it looked nice. Sadly the sandwiches were not good. They had obviously been prepared a while before we arrived! They were going dry and slightly stale, this was the same on all three stands. The ham and mustard sandwiches also had so much mustard spread on it was running out of the sides. Most of the sandwiches were still on the cake stands when we left. No one questioned why. No one came to clear away our table as I hoped to speak to one of the staff, away from earshot of the Birthday girl but we got very little attention from staff, in fact we had to leave the room to catch staff for more drinks etc. There was a large function going on with people gathering and obviously this was pulling staff away. We all agreed would not attend Afternoon Tea here again.

Lovely Afternoon Tea Room, with beautiful views through gorgeous arched windows. Super staff service along with a delicious selection of tea varieties, sandwiches and cakes to enjoy.

Wonderful atmosphere, food and service . The surroundings are beautiful, the service exceptional and the afternoon tea delicious .

Had the most wonderful family afternoon tea, beautifully presented and tasted delicious!! Service by Harry was impeccable and personable, Sarah (Head Pastry Chef) has done the hotel proud with the interesting choice of little cakes. Scones were the best we’ve tasted!! Lovely choice of teas too. The Tea Room is decorated in soft greys and pinks and is a very calming space. Chairs are super comfy and help you relax and enjoy afternoon tea even more! Highly recommend

Hidden gem, out of the way didn't expect such a nice place

My friend took me here for an afternoon tea to celebrate my birthday. From the moment we arrived we were greated with happy smiley faces. We were taken into the team room and a glass of water and tea quickly arranged. Afternoon tea are prompty and the manager came in to wish me a happy birthday. The hotel had created a special valentines afternoon tea which was just delicious! Once we had finished our food, a happy birthday plate arrived along with some champagne to wish me well! Such a wonderful surprise. I felt like royalty throughout my visit and would not hesitate in recommending this beautiful hotel to anyone! Thank you lovely people for looking after me!

Best afternoon tea I had ! The menu and selection of teas was amazing 🤩 the price was definitely worth it ! Our server Harry was excellent and the atmosphere was brilliant too ! I would definitely recommend coming here for any reason !

Went for afternoon tea - it was really lovely - the sandwiches, cakes and scones were freshly made and delicious. Plenty of clotted cream and choice of teas, jams and coffee. Nice variety of generous sandwich fillings with a mixture of white/brown bread to suit the fillings, which we all enjoyed. Thank You Chef! The ambience of the room was sumptuous splendour - tastefully decorated, and very relaxing and peaceful. We had fantastic service from Harry - He is a consummate professional, so charming and really looked after us with 5 star service. It is really the staff who make you feel special and make you want to return, and we all said that we will definitely be doing that soon in the very near future. Thank you Harry for our lovely afternoon!

Wonderful afternoon tea here this afternoon in a beautiful room with lovely surroundings. Plenty of food which was delicious and well presented. What really made it a special and memorable occasion for my mum and I were the outstanding staff who were absolutely lovely. Harry greeted and seated us and Eliza could not have done more to ensure we enjoyed our visit. They are a credit to the hotel and made our visit so special. We'd love to go back again and would highly recommend it. Thank you Eliza and Harry!

Had a lovely afternoon tea here. The tea room was lovely overlooking the grounds. Staff were really attentive and the afternoon tea was nice. Good size portion! Good variety.

We treated my mum to a Spa day with afternoon tea for her birthday and were extremely grateful for such a wonderful day. The Spa treatments were amazing. Thanks to the lovely Cheryl at the front desk for the amazing hospitality and for making us feel so welcomed. The day was topped by the afternoon tea experience. Harry brought so much personality and fun to the day, definitely one of my best afternoon tea experiences.

Amazing afternoon tea experience! Loved the decor, the service and of course the tea, cakes and sandwiches. Very pleasant staff who were all welcoming and accommodating. The hotel is a beautiful building in the country with lovely scenery around. Free parking is an added bonus too! Will definitely be coming back and absolutely recommend! :)

We regularly have afternoon tea in this tea room. It offers nice value for money with a kids option which is half the price. The room itself has a nice decor and you can enjoy a pleasant view to the park. Sandwiches and scones are good, though don't expect anything extraordinary or unusual.

Excellent service very accommodating to our needs. Will recommend

After visiting the Laura Ashley Tea room many times this time I came away feeling disappointed , it is now The Tea room , still very pleasant surrounding , but tired chairs , changed my chair as the wood was sticking though the chair and pressing onto the backs of my legs , we were a party of 4 and all had the same problem . We ordered the teas we all chose , these arrived very weak and we had to ask for more tea so we could taste it .The waitress was lovely and apologised and made it rite . Tea stand arrived and all was very pretty , sandwiches though were very poorly filled, scones lovely and good selection of tasty sweets . The room was so cold we had to put our coats on ! When paying we were told it was £30.50 each , I queried this as when I booked I was told £27 pp. I’m guessing service charge had been added , something we should have been told . Sometimes it’s the little things .. that really matter . The tea should have been stronger , warm room ,comfy chairs , filled sandwiches and no extra costs added on .

I was organizing a baby shower for my friend and wanted to do an afternoon tea experience for her. I got in touch with the hotel and spoke to Ian who I could instantly tell would go out of his way to help make this a special day for her and I felt we would be in good hands having it here. It was really lovely, we were offered the brasserie room so we could have our own little private party, play games, use the speaker for music so I could make my own playlist etc and in the organisation of it all nothing was too much trouble for Ian, as I had special dietary requirements for individual guests etc he was very obliging and helpful. I took decorations with me and Ian made sure the room had already been decorated beautifully with the long table when we arrived and as it's close to Christmas time that was a lovely touch decor wise too. Ian was there to personally greet us all and say hello even though he wasn't actually working that day, but took the time regardless to pop in and check everything was fine and that we were all set up and he gave my friend a box of chocolates to wish her congratulations, a very sweet touch. There was a waiter called Harry who we were left in the care of and he was very attentive and helpful. The venue was a perfect spot really and I was very happy with holding my friend's baby shower there and grateful for the assistance in making it a special day for her and her guests.

Afternoon tea was perfection. They even brought out a Birthday Patter for me as a surprise. The staff could not do enough and were so accommodating and friendly. Highly recommended 👌

We had been to the Tea Room before when it still carried the Laura Ashley name. It was a very fine tea room then. Unfortunately, it is now a little on the tired side and standards have slipped. We were the only customers that afternoon (1600). The table layout had not been checked and as a result there were no tea strainers laid or a tea brew timer on the table. The service was pleasant and effective. However, the tea offering did leave a bit to be desired. The bread was commercial sliced. Ham and mustard had been very heavy on the mustard to the point where some of our party had to scrape off the mustard. On the plus side the scones were warm and the warm tart was very nice. The chocolate sandwich was good and the pomegranate posset was very pleasant. Tea refills were plentiful. Errors were quickly resolved. For the area the price is very competitive (including a glass of Prosecco). The whole hotel complex is tired. Carpets in need of replacement, paintwork in need of a refresh. We would recommend this tea room, but with the caveat that you could perhaps get some hiccups in the experience.

I loved this place. We went for cream tea and the tea room is just beautiful. Would recommend this place to anyone. It is so colourful and completely instagrammable. I went with my boyfriend the same week I had a car accident and I definitely feel like visiting a place like this is just what you need to relax

The service was shocking as there was a table next to me that booked a vegan and vegetarian tea which the hotel was not prepared. The vegetarian was then offered salmon and egg sandwiches which made no sense. Their tea on arrived 20 minutes later. Really need to do better

Visited with 2 elderly friends we had a lovely time. All waiters were caring and made the experience special. The food is good but the only suggestion would be to have a little more savoury e.g. A cheese scone and an addition sandwich and less cake The room is very nice and the whole experience Is worthwhile.

We came with our children to celebrate our 10th wedding anniversary as we got married at the hotel. We were seated and the tea came quickly, it is well presented and was tasty, but none of the servers knew what anyone else was doing. We had five different people asking us the same questions at regular intervals and the manager had no sense of personal space, let alone social distancing. So close we could smell cigarettes on his breath. He was far too close, inches from my husband’s face, and ruffled my son’s hair several times which unnerved him. The children’s afternoon tea is lovely but despite promising donuts and sauce there weren’t any and it was only when we mentioned this that the lovely young waitress told us they don’t do them anymore. Not a huge deal but rather disappointing for a six-year-old who is expecting them. Random people kept coming up, asking if we were enjoying our meal then loitering as we felt increasingly awkward. We left after 50 minutes so all in all a very expensive (£96) hour which wasn’t particularly enjoyable. It’s a real shame as this was supposed to be a really special celebration. We won’t be going back.

Maybe we were unlucky??? Had very high Hopes going for afternoon tea at the Laura Ashley tea room at Burnham Beaches Hotel. Was unimpressed to be honest. Greated by a miserable looking man who never cracked a smile and seemed totally uninterested. Showed us to a small table, which was fine in itself, but this is a very intimate dinning area and tables are very close together. Decor pleasant but you really wouldn't know it had anything to do with Laura Ashley. Cobwebs in the corners of the room, tarnished silver on display. The food seemed stale, sandwiches were underseasoned and scones hard and unable to split in half, had to saw atvyhem with a knife, no choice of jam it was strawberry or nothing. Petit four cakes were cold from the fridge which made them soggy and unappetizing, also difficult to taste what the flavour was supposed to be. We could see there was a wedding going on while we were there which was probably wonderful for them but left us thinking that the rest of the guests in the restaurants and hotel were not important. When we were paying for the tea (as no one approached us whilst at the table) we were asked if it was ok? I did say I had been disappointed, it was met with a shrug and nothing else! Will not be returning or recommending Laura Ashley tea room to anyone unfortunately.

Beautiful room over looking the garden. We chose the Champagne cream tea. Lovely selection of sandwiches, warm scones and assorted mini cakes plus a wide range of leaf teas. All delicious. The Hotel is running on low staff but that said the girl who served us managed a high level of service to all the guests on her own. I would diffenetly return. The hotel is in a rural setting and the entrance sat nav took us wasn't obvious it was the hotel. Wasn't sure this was the main way into the carpark. Well worth a visit.

Catalin made the overall experience at the Burnham Laura Ashley Tea Room pleasant from the moment we went in. There was an error made on our part during the booking. Catalin was very understanding and helpful. In my opinion she has all the qualities of a great leader and she’s an asset to the organisation.

We had a splendid cream tea with excellent service. Also they provided me with a very good cortado ☕

We had a lovely tea as part of our package in The Laura Ashley tea room. A good selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Friendly staff and lovely place calming

Very nice place to take an afternoon tea or have a private event. All the staff is nice, competent and smiling at all times. I really enjoyed the presentation, the food, the tea was delicious and for a relatively reasonable price. I would strongly recommend !

Great food served by friendly staff. The menu contains a wide variety of foods and drinks, served in a comfortable atmosphere.

Lovely afternoon tea in beautiful surroundings, excellent service, nothing was too much trouble which enhanced the experience. Would highly recommend

Wonderful experience at the Tea Room in Burnham Beeches. Excellent service, beautiful savouries and sweets. Nothing was a problem! Can’t wait to return!

Superb setting, excellent service, deliciously different savouries and cakes and really comfortable chairs. My friends and I were there for three hours!

Lovely afternoon tea in a beautiful setting.
