Woburn Abbey Orangery in Central Bedfordshire

I went to the duchess tea rooms with my sister, niece and my daughter. Right from the helpful lady on the gate we were greeted by smiling helpful staff. The manager of the shop directed us to the tearooms. Our waitress Megan was helpful and...

A very enjoyable afternoon the tea was lovely and good value for money. Add to this the surrounds of Woburn Abbey and the park and you have the perfect day out.

I visited on Saturday with 2 friends for a 50th birthday and we had a great time.. The room was lovely and the afternoon tea was super , the little cakes especially. The nice lady that served us was lovely and a real asset to...

Last weekend we took our mother for afternoon tea at Woburn Abbey for her 80th. It was lovely. The sandwiches were lovely the cakes incredible and the scones fabulous. The staff were attentive but not intrusive and the surroundings beautiful. Bearing in mind that the...

Reading some of the recent reviews was disappointing. Visiting today with my Mum was a delight! The house and gardens were lovely but our afternoon tea in the Bedford room was the highlight. Served to us by a lovely lady called Sandra we couldn't have...

We had afternoon tea as a present from our daughter for my wifes birthday. Having previously had afternoon tea at venues such as Fawsley Hall, Loton Hoo, The Ritz and Harrods we were expecting something similar. The illusion only lasted as long as reaching the...

A shame because everything else about our visit to Woburn was lovely but it was very poor here. Tasteless, overpriced sandwiches, stale scones and really weak coffee. No atmosphere.

My husband bought vouchers for afternoon tea for my birthday. We decided to get to the abbey early so we could walk round the gardens before tea. Just as well as I haven't been to Woburn Abbey for a while and had forgotten the long...

Called in when visiting the Abbey for morning coffee so didn't sample the lunch menu. Reasonable choice of food and drinks as you would expect but not really exceptional.

We organised a surprise 70th afternoon tea ,it was held in the Bedford room.the table was all set out for 11 of us. The food itself was fantastic lovely and fresh and plenty of it. They even packed up the uneaten cakes for us to...

We went to Woburn Abbey for a birthday treat and between visiting house & gardens we stopped for lunch. We both had baked potatoes, one of which literally put me in a cheese coma! I've never had so much topping on a spud! They were...

Great place for a lunch, but esp for afternoon tea. Great price, tonnes of yummy food + great service, ambiance etc.

Tea was fab - piping hot and full of flavour. I was disappointed that the waiter left a dead fly on the table after he's cleaned up!

Went here just to shelter from the rain. Very good sandwiches. Just had tea, rather than alcohol, but the wine looked good value.

Nice setting, scones and cake on the expensive side compared to other places lunches looked unappetising and again expensive but its Woburn Abbey.

We were given vouchers for afternoon tea in the Duchess' tea rooms as part of an anniversary present by our daughter. We were really looking forward to this as Woburn is such a beautiful place. Our visit started with a long drive through parkland dotted...

Sandwiches on nice fresh bread, chocolate cake very moist and tasty - melted in the mouth. Bonus of the tea room selling coca cola. Inside & outside seating offered, but if you sit outside you might get pestered by a hungry duck looking longingly at...

We had vouchers for afternoon tea in the Duchess's tearoom but were directed to the Bedford room, however when we had a quick look at the Duchess tearoom later we decided the Bedford room was better! If however you are expecting vintage decor and fancy...

We received some vouchers for afternoon tea at the Duchess Tearooms in the historic Woburn estate and were really looking forward to the experience. A lengthy booking process saw us having to make 5 attempts before we could finally get booked in and eventually did...

No dainty cakes for me went straight for the fresh cream scone with jam already made up but it wasn't some small thing. Not cheap I think it was £3.95 without coffee but coffee & cake at this type of place is never cheap, but...

The afternoon tea is lovely and plentiful It has to be pre-ordered but the price includes entry into the gardens so it's great value.

Very nicely presented afternoon tea which was very fresh, my criticism is that the Bedford Room is completely characterless and lacking in atmosphere......not what the images online portray with high windows, so no view of anything and a distinct lack of ventilation.....such a beautiful setting...

Paid two visits during our visit to the Abbey. Coffee and hot chocolate were fine. Very clean establishment and plenty of room when we visited. Helpful staff. We returned for a snack lunch of ham and cheese toasties which came with salad and coleslaw. Good...

As regular visitors to Woburn we use the Tea Room every time we visit. There is always a good selection of home made cakes and scones and a choice of tasty savouries. The staff are friendly and attentive and knowledgeable about the foods they are...

We booked the Duchess Tea Rooms for our mum's 90th birthday celebration, as it looked very nice on the web page... We went to the cafe where we thought it was, but we were directed to another place....there was quite a steep climb on the...

Plates of sandwiches without crusts,enormous scones with dishes of thick cream and strawberry jam followed by delicious cream cakes overflowing with cream. Pots of hot tea ,what more could you require.....thats what I call afternoon tea.

Overbooked an afternoon tea which included admission to the gardens. A stunning drive through the park where deer were grazing. We were directed to the tea rooms by friendly helpful staff. When we arrived we were served promptly with our tea. 4 different sorts of...

Lovely tea room to break for tea/ coffee and a cake, or even for lunch - selection of sandwiches, a few hot options (sausage roll/ pasties) and a selection of hot/ cold drinks. Only Diet Coke though, no Diet lemonde or orange on offer unfortunately....

My family and I enjoyed a lovely afternoon tea for my daughter's hen party. The food and service was excellent. I would definitely recommend to anybody

family took me here to celebrate my 70th Birthday what a wonderful experience lovely scenery calm and lovely I could have been anywhere staff were well trained and very happy and attentive tea was great lots of fancy cakes lovely sandwiches and piping hot tea...

We've been walking across the Woburn Estate for years and always stopped at the tea rooms for lunch/coffee/ice cream etc. Went today and you now have to pay to get into the gardens before you can go to the tea rooms. Loads of walkers out...

The best thing about this afternoon tea is the very sensible sizing of the sandwiches and delicious cakes. You are not over faced in any way by normal sized portions which is not what afternoon tea is all about, HOWEVER, do not let this lull...

Went for afternoon tea to celebrate my 60th Birthday. Staff very attentive and welcoming. The level of service was exceptional. Sandwiches and Cakes were delightful along with endless supply of tea.

A very scenic place to take friends, family or a date. Do take your time to drive through the very scenic entrance. The lunch was lovely. The service was spot on. Staff were friendly and made you feel at home. The walk in the gardens...

Had a lovely time at Woburn for tea. Very filling - come hungry! Beautiful surroundings! Definitely would visit again!

We pop in here for tea and a cake when we visit the Gardens, of which we are members. Staff are not that welcoming, drinks are of average quality and a few simple things would improve the ambience, but we like popping in!

We received a voucher for afternoon tea as a Christmas present last year and it has taken us over 10 months to use it - however the wait was well worth it. The journey to the tea venue is a fabulous 2 mile drive through...

Visiting Woburn Abbey, we popped in for a quick refreshment break. I had a latte, from the machine which was average - bit weak and not bean to cup. The cakes were Ok and overpriced at £3.99. It filled a hole but nothing more. The...

We were given an Afternoon Tea by our son and daughter in law and although the directions we were given when my wife rang to let them know she didn't eat meat could have used the phrase 'once you've entered the abbey grounds' as 'follow...

My husband and I were very pleased to receive a gift of afternoon tea at Woburn. After a very stressful year and two bereavements we eventually go to book our tea. We were both very much looking forward to a relaxing afternoon and it was...

Ce self service situé dans le parc du château ne vous laissera pas des souvenirs exceptionnels. Vous y allez pour...

After a potter around the Abbey & Gardens we were in need of a cuppa and sit down, plenty of seating indoors and outside. The sandwiches were freshly made and save room for the lemon Meringue pie.

I wouldn't recommend this as an afternoon tea. No effort made with the sandwiches and far too many sweet things. I definitely wouldn't buy this as a gift and I wouldn't go here again. You would be better spending the money on a proper meal....

We were given a voucher for afternoon tea as a present earlier in the year but the first time we could be accommodated was 4 months later .The Bedford Room is in a charming georgian courtyard - probably the coaching houses and stables long ago...

Booked a special birthday surprise with this establishment for a party of 12. Unfortunately as a result of a serious medical emergency the person who the surprise was planned for was unable to get home from France for the booked as her husband was not...

Reasonable choice of snacks and beverages but at a premium price. The carrot cake was rather dry and disappointing. Scone with cream and jam lots nicer (£3.50ish).

My Wife had 2 vouchers for the Duchess Tea Room and kindly took me with her ! First the drive through the park is lovely. The Garden is really pleasant to walk around full of interest and right for families too. Bit confusing about the...

There is a wide selection of teas which are served in a teabag in a pot despite this they are very tasty. Each person is given 4 finger sandwiches which in no way tasted freshly made! There was a good selection of bite size cakes...

The food was very nice, however the queues were horrendous! We waited 35 minutes to get served, by the time we got to the counter our tub of ice cream had melted!! They urgently need more staff at busy times.

This was a gift from friends. Afternoon tea and admission to the house and grounds. Woburn is a lovely place to visit at any time. The house was very interesting to walk round. Leave yourself a good hour and a half to view everything amply...

Lovely afternoon wandering round the beautiful gardens and a fabulous tea. All of the sandwiches, scones and dainty cakes were delicious. There was a lot there but you'll be glad to know we persevered and ate the lot! Interesting note, we enquired for a gluten...

Decided on Woburn abbey as a venue for afternoon tea as it also includes entrance to the gardens. Our group spent nearly 1 1/2 hours happily chatting in the beautiful grounds before arriving for afternoon tea in The Bedford Room (superior in my opinion to...

Lovely place for lunch. Good food, reasonable price, friendly staff. Popped in later on for and an unfortunately very dry scone! Only accessed within the Abbey Gardens (having paid the entrance fee)

My wife, who has to eat gluten free food, was delighted at the selection available in this café with gluten free sandwiches, cakes and scones (cream teas). The food and coffee was very very good, my shortbread/caramel/chocolate square was divine. We only stay for morning...

Decided to have afternoon tea following a walk around the gardens. We booked about a week before and the tea room was quite busy. Gorgeous paintings to reflect the massive tree outside. Thoroughly enjoyed the selection of sandwiches, cakes and biscuits.

We visited here a while ago during our trip to the Safari Park. It's a very peaceful and charming place, ideally if you need a little break. The finger foods are nice and will leave you full for some time. The cakes were delicious! The...

We were given vouchers for the tea rooms at Woburn Abbey for our wedding anniversary. The tea was actually in the Bedford Rooms which is a nicer setting than the Duchess tea room. There is a wide choice of speciality teas with unlimited refills. Coffee...

Nothing better than having lunch on the veranda in peaceful surroundings on a sunny day. We opted for the Hot Lunch and the food was fresh and really tasty. Loads of cake and sweet options and a great wine selection if tea is not your...

the staff here are really helpful, the food is good, nicely presented. The surroundings have been well thought out, tasteful and it is just a nice way to chill during your visit

Really enjoyable tea room that provides tasty & freshly made produce. Summing up,a must visit part of the Woburn abbey experience,nice & light venue with plenty of seating. Would we visit the Duchess the room again,?yes we will.

Esta fue la segunda vez que he visitado para el té de la tarde y no nos decepcionó. El servicio es excelente y el personal estaba dispuesto a satisfacer mis requerimientos para vegetarianos, la señora hizo todo lo posible para que si algunos sándwiches, bollos, dulces y fruta fresca, así como leche vegetal para mi té. Muy impresionado y volveremos.

podemos organizar para tomar un té de la tarde en Woburn Abbey para celebrar el 50 cumpleaños de dos colegas. Hay unos 30 en total y no podríamos haber pedido un mejor servicio. Yo nunca había visto tanta nata servida con scones antes sin necesidad de pedir más. También había variada gama de poco tartas, mini lemon Victoria sandwich, fresa quebradiza, millonarios quebradiza, mini mermelada tartas, crema puffs, junto a dos grandes scones, una llanura una fruta. El precio era el más barato que he tenido en £13,50 que incluía entrada a los jardines, lo cual nos recorrimos después. Todos pasamos un día memorable y ya estamos pensando en volver el año que viene!

Davvero bella con un meraviglioso laghetto, tanti cervi e tanto verde. Ho cenato per una cena di lavoro in questa struttura e tutto e' stato perfetto.
