Lovely afternoon tea and even made a Happy Birthday dessert as it was her birthday. Highly recommend

Food was excellent! Disappointed that we couldn’t eat in the Garden Room which we have always used in the past! We had to use the main Restaurant which isn’t as cosy! There isn’t any atmosphere in the Restaurant which is important for an Afternoon Tea! Would think twice about booking again unless they opened up the Garden Room! X

We attended Mere Court Hotel for an AfternoonTea with Prosecco to celebrate my birthday. The Tea Room was warm and cosy. The staff were attentive but not intrusive. The beautiful gardens could be seen from the windows and the the food was delicious. I would definitely go again.

The food was delicious and nicely presented. The staff were polite and attentive. We had a lovely afternoon.

My wife and I had afternoon tea on May 27th this year. It was our third visit. The food, drink and service were as good as ever. Also, we had a Groupon deal so value for money is not in question. Sadly following a change of ownership of the property, the venue for afternoon tea is no longer the intimate panelled tearoom but a somewhat soulless (if spacious) function room. I think we'd come for lunch, maybe even stay but afternoon tea needs to feel more special than this.

Prosecco afternoon tea for four. A good selection of fresh sandwiches and mini cake and scones. The dining room was quiet , staff attentive. We had gone to celebrate a friends birthday and a lovely touch of a platter with a birthday greeting with fruit and mini chocolates. Mere Court has never disappointed us

I booked for afternoon Tea for 5 including a child, with a nut allergy. Food: It was a quality reasonable of sandwiches, cakes and scone. I found it filling but the same acnt be said of the men in the group. My daughter has a nut allergy and received fruit kebabs in place of the cake, which worked well. However, I was concerned when our Afternoon Tea arrived because we had carrot cake topped with walnuts. We were able to keep these items away from her but the risk of cross contamination is too great, and I will not be returning to the hotel. Service: Quite poor. The staff are polite but not very attentiive. It was all a bit disjointed. I had to ask at reception where to go for the Afternoon tea and a loveky lady directed us to the Lounge and to inform the bar staff of arrival. We were shown to our table which was two large tables pushed together, which meant we had to raise our voices to be heard because of a large group of loud people. Added to the fact the design, flooring etc., accentuated the sound. We were asked for drinks, which I now realise meant, do you want a drink from the bar, which we did not. I ordered tea without being directed to the menu, which had a range of different teas, but we all got the same 'builder's tea'. Almost immediately our food arrived, again no dialogue explaining what sandwiches, etc., it was put down and the young waiter walked away. No one returned to check if all was okay, and there was no offer of more tea. After 40 minutes a chef arrived with a 'Happy Birthday' treat which apparently should have been brought out with our tea and sandwiches. Again no explanation as to what ingredients were included in the chocolates or the chocolate sauce. Concerning, given a member of the party had a nut allgery, this was remiss. Atmosphere: Disjointed service, tables which looked like they should be used in the conference room, no table linen and a confused table layout in the room, it certainly wasn't special or inviting. The room had a beautiful aspect but it doesn't work. I have had Afternoon tea in few different places and this was the worst. Maybe staff need better training, maybe someone needs to learn how to 'dress' the room to look inviting. I could go on but it was quite disappointing , overall. The larger party did on the other hand get lots of attention, something content creation for the hotel. Either way, not good enough.

Visited for an afternoon tea with nan. Mum and auntie. Lovely girlie afternoon. Sam the lady who served us was lovely. Afternoon tea was delicious and served on vintage china. The hotel has so much character and the grounds around were also lovely. Definitely visit again

Beautiful afternoon tea with my friend, enough food and tea. A lovely setting also. Thank you.

Highly recommend Afternoon tea, it was served so beautifully in such wonderful surroundings, delicious ❤️❤️

A lovely relaxed afternoon tea in a beautiful setting. Tasty high quality food excellently presented. Certainly one of the best scones I have ever tasted!

This is my second time of going to the mere court hotel. I enjoyed it so much the first time I thought I would give it another go. I can truly say the standard seem to have dropped down from the first time I went. The portion of the cakes which we got were absolutely ridiculous. There were so small that you couldn’t really taste what you were having. Definitely would not recommend to friends for high tea.

My wife and I came for afternoon tea. It was very traditional, very well presented with attentive staff. Lovely sandwiches, scones and cakes including the gluten free option, we really enjoyed.

We had a lovely evening meal in pleasant surroundings. The food was of high quality and nothing was too much trouble for the friendly and helpful staff. Thank you for making it a superb evening. Had a great stay and definitely recommend giving the hotel a visit.

The food and the service were excellent. Only slight quibble was the dining room was very cold that evening.

I really enjoy coming to this venue for afternoon tea. We bought a voucher on Groupon and it was well worth what we paid.
