    Absolutely fantastic! The amount of food was so much more than a normal afternoon tea, especially the warm entree and the delicious mushroom soup. Staff service was excellent - just right, not constantly there but at the same time always there when we needed them. Thank you for doing the little “thank you” plate that was really nice. Will be back, very good value at £35 Including a glass of prosecco each. Well worth it Thank you again ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

    An enjoyable afternoon tea experience. The staff were professional and looked after us well. The ambience was quiet and relaxed, though maybe a little too quiet for me personally. Drinks were generously poured and food provided was tasty. I did contact the hotel in advance and requested specific sandwich fillings for one member of the party and whilst we did receive a reply from the hotel confirming this could be arranged, unfortunately it wasn’t. That was the only let down. That being said, I would happily return.

    Every member of staff we encountered was polite, friendly and uniquely invested in our experience without coming across as artificial. With one of the party also working in the hotel business, we wouldn’t have been the easiest to impress. In saying this, the staff, service and food exceeded our expectations. Even when we noticed an error in our bill, there was no pushback from the staff and they got it sorted for us as soon as possible. Only suggestion would be to offer some water for the table, but otherwise it was perfect

    Food was ok, waited an hour for our sandwiches. At this stage we had no drink, water or anything. And when the food did arrive we then had to ask for our pot of tea which took another 10 minutes.

    Took my mum for afternoon tea it was delicious as always, the seating area is lovely very clean and decorated nicely for Christmas. The staff as always were very friendly helpful and attentive The food was so nice very well presented and so tasty there is a great variety of treats and as always so much to eat we couldn’t finish but the waiter put the extra in a box for us to take home which is lovely The only thing this time was there 2 small children at a table beside us and it changed the relaxation a little bit lol Had a great afternoon tea and have never not enjoyed the Fitzwilliam hotel

    Oh my goodness what an amazing spread. We did the crafternoon tea which was amazing. Fish finger slider,burger slider,pork pie, scotch egg, sourdough with pastrami.....and to finish off a brownie and a scone. Needless to say we were stuffed. Everything was of the best quality and obviously homemade. Only issue was the service was kinda slow ....we had ran out of drinks and wanted to order more....took time to call someone, however they were super busy and were happy chatting. Would have liked water on the table.

    Food was delicious, venue was lovely very modern setting so might not be to every one's taste. Service was excellent when we first arrived and the first course/drinks came out. When the second course came out my friend (with a nut allergy) was given the plate with the macaroons and told they were nut free and safe for her to eat...this was wrong these macaroons did contain nuts!! Thank goodness she didn't eat anything on this plate! I think this was a genuine mistake as the English was not the waitress' first language. Was the second & final course was delivered staff just disappeared. We had to wait ages for someone to appear so we could order more tea/ drinks. When it came to pay we had to get up and look for a member of staff to ask if we could pay.
