Afternoon Tea - Menu

Breakfast was very good. It is self service and had the usual full English. I had at least one meal here while staying at the hotel. The food was very good, I had steak, but it was very expensive. The service was very good.

Visited with colleagues . Staff friendly and helpful . Had to send beer back as was cloudy with odd taste but waiter sorted this without fuss. Food was very good and tasty however definite improvements that could be made all handles on all doors...were filthy, windows filthy inside and out , table we were sat at outside filthy. If what you can see is dirty what’s the kitchen like?!

my wife and I went for champagne afternoon tea. the recipe was very friendly and helpful. they showed us to our table, then it went down from there. without asking what we wanted, they brought tee. then the food came. sandwiches directly from the...fridge, still cold, covered with clingfilm that we had to remove. no explanation of what we were given, although we could see what sandwiches they were, it would have been polite to say what they were. no very pleasant experience.

my friend and I have booked a afternoon tea in this well furnished lodge in kingston. the tee was not cheap, but we were happy to go because of the pleasant and old fashion atmosphere. but apart from the small sandwiches, the scorpions were wavy and hard, the brownies were dry like dust and the meringues bought and not fresh. I wrote to the catering manager and said how disappointing the afternoon was. I didn't get a reply. I then wrote to the manager of the lodge and explained again what had happened. no answer yet. I wasn't looking for a freebie, but just wanted an apology or explanation to show that it was one. but the fact that there was no answer at all shows that the problem goes much...

I was amazed at the positive ratings for afternoon tea at this Hotel. The staff were courteous until we had reason to complain. The selection of sandwiches were not the best, the bread tasted as if it had been sitting around awhile, not very fresh....The tea we were given was ok but unlike other hotels there was no choice of variety offered.. we could cope with that ! The cake selection was okish. The main complaint we had was the place was filthy, we sat by a window in a large room on our own, the windows,window ledge and window sill were filthy dirty with dirt and dust. Rain came through a leak in the roof and we had to prove this to the duty Manager, why would we lie if one us was getting...

We had the most fantastic day here celebrating our sons wedding. Initially I had reservations about the hotel venue, the price seemed to be to good to be true. I was sure that we would have to compromise on something somewhere I couldn’t have...been more wrong. Before the wedding, communication was excellent and questions answered thoroughly. We wanted a couple of extra bits done for the bride and groom and the hotel accommodated all our requests. The staff were exceptional, really exceptional. They could not have done anymore to make everyone feel welcome (Kate and Andrea were especially brilliant) water jugs and drinks were replenished. Every detail looked after. Everyone that I spoke to s...

I often come with my daughter to kingston lodge and have tea/coffee in the bar area. I thought it was nice, so when it was my partner birthday, we decided to celebrate a family dinner. when we arrived, I asked if we could still eat in a restaurant, although we were not guests of the hotel, they said that they had a event so that we could not eat in the restaurant, but we could eat in the lounge area. we were halfway through our meal when a worker came and told us we had to pay now. I was shocked and asked why and they told us that it was because we were not in the hotel, although I had asked if it was okay to eat. I explained that we want gloomy and more drinks, but he insisted that we pay t...

I was expecting an excellent experience based on previous reviews but I’m afraid we will not return. Firstly my colleague’s cup was dirty. When we were ordering the waiter couldn’t remember what types of tea were available and had to get the box of sachets...to show us. When the food arrived I just couldn’t believe it. The jam was not individual pots but rather was plopped into a stainless steel gravy boat, as was the clotted cream which was served like ice cream balls in an identical gravy boat. The scones were dry as dust (may have been frozen, certainly didn’t taste fresh). The sandwiches were made with thick cut bread and the cucumber ones with the white bread were clearly made with the...

we have booked about groupon, sunday lunch for 4, we are native, but have never been in this hotel. the hotel has 4 stars and we have it for a good opportunity to try somewhere new. unfortunately we were disappointed! the dining room left... much to wish, in contrast to the photos of the website they had no tablecloths, some tables with linen serviettes, but the majority with cheap paper serviettes. after previous booking was not prepared for us. I had mentioned at the time of booking, it was my daughter 12 birthday! an opportunity to eat as a family at lunchtime. the menu is an A4 paper, really a menu in a 4-star setup should be displayed within the regular menu, as it can be changed regula...
