Spent a delightful afternoon here dining on their delicious afternoon tea. Plenty of choice and very filling and if you cannot finish then they offer you a take out box. Would highly recommend

Took my wife for afternoon tea to celebrate her birthday. An altogether pleasant occasion. I would like to make two comments please bring the sandwich before the tea pot the tea gets cold waiting for the sandwich to arrive and only in my case more cream so that I can eat the scone the Devonshire way cream on first topped with a small amount of jam.

My mother and I attended afternoon tea for two as a birthday gift for us both. We are both vegan and as I had been to Pettigrew for vegan afternoon a few years prior, I knew we would be catered for and I did discuss this via email with staff on booking. All staff were very helpful and friendly. Our food was absolutely lovely. My only reason for not giving 5/5 is that there was only one cake option for us. Thankfully we both like chocolate cake but I know there are usually at least 2 or 3 vegan cake/brownie options so I was a little disappointed not to be able to try something else.

Lovely helpful waitress. Had arrived early. She gave us options on where to sit, afternoon tea options. Another waiter who I showed my voucher code to said I needed more information although my son had previously phoned and was told he didn’t need anything. The waiter said he had asked my son to contact him twice which hadn’t happened. Had to contact my son who had bought the voucher for me and then the waiter found confirmation on the work laptop. He didn’t apologise either. I had previously asked him twice for an email confirmation to which he replied yes but it never arrived. Table and chairs were very outdated.However the afternoon tea compensated for the other areas. Wonderful choice and very tasty .

A thoroughly enjoyable experience. A really lovely tea, plenty of sandwiches with "real" bread, beautiful scones and cake, and really good and friendly service. Highly reccomended.

Can't fault this for afternoon tea, unless it's to say it was too much food and I had to take the cake home for later. Bread was delicious enough to eat on its own. Staff were really friendly and welcoming and the location is beautiful in a convenient location with lovely park walks on the door step. Thoroughly enjoyed.

We went there to have afternoon tea, for the whole family, including my mother-in-law visiting from abroad and in a wheelchair. The staff was lovely, patient, and the food was great! The chef's selection of sandwiches was really good. The bread tasted amazing and I love the fact that there was a large variety. I cannot wait to go back!
