AWFUL! Pros: beautiful grounds, nice restaurant except lack of view due to height of bushes outside windows. Amazing service, lovely waitresses. Cons: £39.90 for myself and my 6 year old. I bought this as a real treat for is, nothing I would normally be able to afford and just so gutted I wasted my money. The menu stated, smoked salmon bruschetta, coronation chicken wrap, hummus’s ciabatta and a prawn gem cup. We got none of this!!! We got 4 triangle sandwiches consisting of salmon. Ham. Cheese. Chicken. The bread was hard. There certainly was no wrap, ciabatta or prawn cup!!! The cakes were nice. The scones were not even edible!!!! Dry, they had clearly been microwaved and had gone hard over time. Essentially, I paid £40 to eat a ham sandwich and a slice of lemon cake. I’m sooo pleased I got to experience this before I considered a wedding here, because if they can’t get a basic afternoon tea right, there’s no hope for a wedding breakfast!! My Aldi scones were much nicer. I did tell the waitress but she just shrugged in agreement, clearly not the first time she had heard this complaint. Save your money. Book elsewhere. Such a shame as the venue and staff are wonderful!!

Some people have posted negative reviews about afternoon tea at Broome Park. We can't understand why! We had a really lovely afternoon tea there yesterday. Everything was delicious - dainty sandwiches, lovely little cakes (and plenty of them) and fruit and plain scones with jam and lashings of cream. Friendly efficient service. Have just recommended to friends for their wedding anniversary treat. We will definitely return when we feel in need of a treat ourselves!

We had afternoon tea for a birthday treat. The spread was average; prawns used in the sandwiches were small and rubbery, the clotted cream was poor quality and the scones powdery and tasteless. I feel completely sure the lemon drizzle cake was from a pack. There was no tea menu and the teabags used in the pot were of a catering standard. The staff kindly presented us with a birthday slice of cake with a candle but the timing was off in that it arrived as we were eating the savoury part of the tea. All in all okay but it could have been so much better. I wanted to mention also that rather inexplicably, all the curtains in the tea room had been tied back with bits of plastic. Very odd and detracted from otherwise quite nice surroundings. On the upside, the waiting staff were sweet. Would I return? Probably not, but I think it’s because I am a fussy afternoon tea consumer :-0
