Beautifully festive venue, we were seated right next to the Christmas tree. Friendly and attentive staff. The savoury Afternoon Tea option was fantastic as not all of our party like cakes. Would definitely visit again.

Delicious treat which has become a Christmas tradition for us! I enjoyed a traditional afternoon tea with a glass of Prosecco and my husband chose the savoury afternoon tea with a beer. Unfortunately they had run out of ale though, so he had to be content with a Peroni. He suggested that a small sweet treat would have been nice to finish off his selection but on this occasion he stole one of mine! Thank you and happy Christmas to all.?

A Beautiful venue. Food not as good as previous years. And less food with a higher cost.
Doddington Tea RoomResponded 4 days ago
Thank you for your feedback. We’re pleased that you found the venue beautiful but we're really sorry to read that the food didn’t meet your expectations on the day. We do feel that our afternoon tea, all freshly baked on the premises using ingredients from local suppliers, offers great value. Our pricing and menu content is fully available to view before booking, and we strive to ensure a delightful experience for all our guests. We do hope that we can welcome you to the estate again soon.
