Afternoon Tea At Bedford Lodge

I was very disappointed with the Afternoon Tea experience. The sandwiches did not seem freshly made, as they were dry and the bread appeared stale with very little filling. I even found a bone in my chicken sandwich, which I mentioned to the waitress, but no one came to address the issue or apologize. The cakes looked good, but unfortunately, that was the only positive aspect. The scones, however, were the highlight of the experience.

My wife and I have just returned from Afternoon Tea at the Bedford Lodge Newmarket . Although the four finger sandwiches were disappointing I asked if I could get four more finger sandwiches. I was told This would be and extra £4. I declined but felt that having been to the Savoy in London and The Raffles in Singapore for afternoon tea that it was unreasonable extra charge. Not impressed with the afternoon tea or some of the staff especially an older member .

I went for a lovely afternoon tea this afternoon with a friend. The service was efficient with very polite and welcoming staff. The food was delicious and freshly prepared, what we didn’t eat we were allowed to take home. I have a soft spot for Bedford Lodge, having married here 12 years ago, the hotel has only got better and better! Never had a bad experience. The hotel is modern but sympathetic to its heritage, the staff have always been exceptional and I never hesitate to book here! I will continue to visit over the coming years. Speisekarte ansehen

Lovely setting in the orangerie, nice table decoration. Service was good but not overly attentive. I am a regular customer at the Bedford Lodge hotel but would not return for an afternoon tea unless the quality is improved. Please, please propose a more suitable selection of cakes ! Stolen, scones, fruit cake, orange cake, enormous sausage roll, thick sandwiches which more bread than filling. Sadly you have to drink a gallon of tea to go through it. Should be advertised as An Afternoon tea for two hungry men No fine patisserie there I am afraid.

We had an amazing afternoon tea with family and friends in the restaurant. The service was outstanding, nothing was too much trouble and the the pots of tea and coffee were refreshed frequently. I was very impressed with the sandwiches which were well filled using quality ingredients. The warm sausage rolls and tarts were delicious. The scones were served warm with a lovely home-made lemon curd as well as jam and clotted cream. We also enjoyed the stunning range of cakes and desserts. I would recommend to anyone who expect a high standard of service in a beautiful setting.

We booked High Tea and paid for 9 people for my nieces birthday unfortunately my mothers health deteriorated fast and we called in tbe morning to cancel. We were told we could not have s refund even though we gave them many hours notice, the best the could offer was to pack it in boxes and we could collect. My brother inlaw drove the 40 minutes to collect the sandwiches and cakes, what a waste of time the food was awful .Dry tasteless sandwiches and the cakes were sweet tasteless mush, dry scones all 8 adults had the same opinion. We explained that my mother was very sick they are not flexible not allowed to change date and lack compassion . Speisekarte ansehen

I have had a lot of afternoon tea's, all over the country and also in Cambridge- most are over prized and disappointing. But not the tea at Bedford lodge hotel- it is simply perfect! Staff are friendly and inviting, everything is clean- high tea is served beautifully and the handmade cakes are like little pieces of art- there so pretty, you don't want to eat them! Scones are freshly made, soft, warm and delicious and you get two rather then one, you pay the same in some places in Cambridge and only get given one! Home made everything including lemon curd which is YUMMY! good servings and lovely drinks. sandwiches were fresh and didn't taste old or stale like in so many other places. The best...

We chose the afternoon tea option, but it arrived without milk or sugar. It took two different servers before any milk and sugar was provided. When the sandwiches arrived, the server offered to make changes if we didn't like any of them. I requested a change, but my sandwich ended up being the same as everyone else's. There were some issues with the bread being dry and the fillings being scant. However, the sausage roll was delicious. The cakes arrived after the sandwiches, and they looked very nice. Unfortunately, the scones were terrible as they were over-kneaded, heavy, and very overcooked. This was the most disappointing part of the experience. The setting of the restaurant was lovely,...

My husband and I were extremely disappointed with the afternoon tea we received at Bedford Lodge. Our daughter had purchased it as a Father's Day gift for my husband, but it turned out to be a major letdown. The atmosphere at the restaurant was stylish, but the food was lacking in quality. The sandwiches were dry and I even had a piece of bread on one of mine. The scones were burnt and overcooked, making them almost inedible. The cakes all tasted the same as they used the same cream for all of them. One particular coconut profiterole had runny cream and was not enjoyable. We were seated in an inconvenient location near the staff work station and corridor, making it a distracting dining exper... Speisekarte ansehen
