Best Restaurants for Afternoon Tea in Blidworth

We are regulars, so know our way around the menu. The staff are always fantastic as is the ambience of the restaurant. Tonight I would say the food was not as carefully prepared as usual, perhaps due to the fact that the Christmas Market was underway presumably leading to greater footfall/bookings. The three bird wellington was lacking one of the meats and the pastry was overdone, the fondant dry. The smoked salmon starter was stunning as was the blackberry financier. I reiterate that the staff really make it a pleasure to dine at the Cavendish

We were at Doddington Hall and the room we were in was large and well decorated with many lights and a large Christmas tree and welook out to a layer of genuine snow, it looked so Christmassy. We were well looked after and served with a super Cream Tea. It was delicious.

Fantastic meal, lovely place and no issue having the dog with us.

Still as lovely as the last time we went. A little gem if you want a pre-theatre meal

Fantastic food and great service. Excellent value for money. Plenty of food and we were given boxes at the end to take home the bits we couldn’t manage to eat. We had a wonderful time and the lady serving us was so helpful. Thank you for a fantastic afternoon tea.
