   Such a delightful afternoon spent at Frimley Hall for their festive afternoon tea. Service was very quick and friendly, we were kindly offered a top up of the sandwiches which were absolutely amazing, clotted cream & Jam and fresh tea. No request was too big. I’d definitely put this on my go to list now. Thoroughly enjoyed every minute of our experience here. The price is amazing too, such great value for what is on offer!

   I booked a table for lunch for six people. Although we ate in the Linden restaurant the menu is the same as the bar menu. The meals were freshly cooked and all very tasty. We enjoyed the main course and desserts. We were celebrating a special occasion and were given a complimentary bottle of prosecco - a very nice gesture. The staff were friendly and efficient, nothing was too much trouble.

   What a waste of time. My booking wasn’t recognised, we had to choose and then pay for what we wanted before seating, the host could familiarise himself with soap leaving the whole episode just rubbish. We had coffee in the lounge instead, where the site builders decided to hold loud conversations, and left. Won’t go back. Just rubbish.

   This was the first of 2 visits in as many days to the Linden as we stayed at the hotel. The food and service were very good, although a couple of items were unavailable, which was strange for a Thursday evening, you’d expect that on maybe a Saturday evening after a busy shift. We felt some of the prices were a bit out of kilter tbh, Sourdough bread and an onion butter seemed expensive at £5.50, so we avoided it. On our second visit on the Saturday, once again one item unavailable, when I enquired as to why again, they didn’t have a fryer, bizarre. We opted for the Sourdough bread this time as it complimented our starters, as the non Sourdough bread with the starters was minuscule, when they arrived they were just Sourdough rolls, so having ordered 2 of these felt like a lot of money at over £12 including service for 2 rolls and butter. I frequent some of the most expensive bakeries for Sourdough bread at sometimes £6-£7 for a full loaf, which is at least 4 times the amount of bread than this, so a lesson learnt.

   The afternoon tea was lovely. However some of the sandwiches were on the stale side but otherwise fine. Waitresses were very lovely but I think were understaffed so it was on the slow side but understandable as there was a wedding on at the hotel this day. Overall experience was nice.

    This was a lovely afternoon tea and the staff were very attentive and friendly. We asked for sandwich refills and these were provided. The sandwiches were nice, but bread was a tad dry. I would've liked the scones to have been warm. Otherwise everything else was lovely. When I mentioned a tea I liked that wasn't on the menu the staff were quick to inform me that this could be provided, which was great.
