Miss B's Tearoom in Melton

I visited Stapleford Park with a family group - my wife, son and girlfriend and my father-in law and his wife. We wanted to celebrate my son’s girlfriend’s birthday with a special occasion visit because, being Australian, she relished the idea of doing something typically English. The venue itself is undoubtedly impressive, but the afternoon tea experience was very disappointing. On arrival there was no proper welcome from any member of staff engaged in afternoon tea service. We were shown to our table and given a briefing from a senior staff member. After this, the level of service was virtually non-existent. Nobody asked whether everything was OK, whether more or any different teas were required. Amazingly, for this type of event, only one type of tea per person was offered. The sandwiches were unappetising, and cakes decidedly unimpressive. My father-in-law who is 98 went to the bar to settle the bill, and it was only a few days later that he showed us he’d been charged 6 x £41, plus a service charge of £30. He wasn’t told about the service charge when paying. We were outraged at the underhand way this charge had been levied, and also the fact that there was no relationship between the charge and the poor service we had received. The service charge was later refunded following a phone call by my wife. There are obvious signs of weak management and poor staff training here. Avoid if you’re looking for a more rewarding experience.

A lovely meal, the staff were all so friendly, nothing is too much trouble, food was good too, would love to see some specials available to keep the menu varied as some times need a change, otherwise all great, love the new refurbishment too, highly recommend

Went for lunch today the food was fresh and delicious, service was excellent and all at a really good price. We will be back!!

Had tapas. All excellent and very tasty. I am gluten intolerant and often feel quite restricted, so its really nice to have choices.

I really like this pub, we've used it a couple of times whilst doing a little section of the "Leicestershire Round", (a long footpath that goes....well, I'll leave you to figure that out 😉) a beautiful building, and a really welcoming atmosphere. We had a lovely sunday lunch here a little while ago, and we're hoping to repeat that experience soon.
