Myself, my husband and my mother in law booked for afternoon tea on Saturday 9th March. While I've been here a few times I've never had afternoon tea and was looking forward to it as I know how high the food quality is. Well I was not disappointed! Asked for drinks and sandwich choices (you are allowed two) immediately and they came out in good time, we did have a little wait for the food but the sandwiches were being freshly made so understandable. When the food arrived it was to see that the sandwiches came on a big serving plate, they were individual buns and not the standard finger sandwiches which was a lovely surprise; we were also served half a filled jacket potato each and they were absolutely delicious. The sandwiches were egg and cress and prawn mayonnaise, freshly made and so tasty. We also had a cheese and chive scone each with butter, these were still warm and were outstanding! There was also a currant scone served with clotted cream and strawberry jam, while I'm not a fan of these I'm told they were lovely. I did ask at the time of booking to have a plain sweet scone instead of the fruit ones but just assumed they'd forgotten but no! They too turned up and were amazing. The cakes were a rich chocolate cake, lemon drizzle and carrot cake, also amazing. Cannot fault the service we received and the food was beyond anything I've had before. They were very busy but the quality and quantity of everything was outstanding. I'll be recommending to everyone and can't wait to come back for another one!

Had a lovely afternoon tea today for mothers day. Did wait half hour for food but place was full, but not a big deal. Food was lovely and worth the money. Lovely china cups but when i asked for a teaspoon as non on table got given wooden disposible ones. Didnt really go with the china cups. But overall would recoommend.

Only 4 miles from where I live- why have I never been here before?? It's fabulous ? huge, tasty afternoon tea enjoyed by the 4 of us. We only ate half as there were various sarnies, 1/2 cheese Jacket potato, cheese scone, fruit scone jam and cream and 3 cakes ?? with endless tea and coffee for £17.95. Boxes are available for everything you don't eat. Staffwere wonderful. Big cafe with conservatory area and outside seating- which we didn't try in Feb but will later! Plenty of parking with plants and gift shop

Visited the Woodlands yesterday for our daughters 12th birthday meal. There were 14 of us in total for Sunday dinner and a gluten free fish/chips. The food was very tasty. But what made the afternoon so nice was the staff. The ladies were so friendly and polite. All the family commented on that. Customer service is a big deal for me. So was very happy that we received top quality. The only downfall with the restaurant is that it closed at 4pm. But again the staff didn't rush us. Look forward to our next meal. Xxx

Food is always good never had a bad meal 5? only thing that I dislike is waiting staff with long hair should have it tied back instead of it going all over when they bend over to give you your food very unhygienicParking: Lots of space to parkWheelchair accessibility: Easy access for any mobility as ramps on entrance

Amazing place with amazing food. Service was on point, probably one of the best and affordable place in the region to eat.

Eaten here on many occasions and have never ever been disappointed as food, service and value for money has always exceeded expectations
Christmas dinner with the family, food was amazing and the vegetables on the Christmas dinner were very fresh and tasty. Starter and pudding were also spot on. The waitresses were excellent and knew what we wanted before we did!! Would definately recommend.

Yesterday was my first visit and I was not disappointed. The place is deceptively large and despite arriving around 12:30, we got a table with no problems. There were four of us in our party and I opted for the hot beef sandwich which came with side salad and a generous portion of gravy. I also opted for a portion of chips to share - delicious! The other members of my group loved their food too. Service from our waitress was friendly, efficient and could not be faulted. The only negative was that it was quite noisy but that is hardly the fault of the restaurant or staff. We'll be back!

Was not as impressed as previous visits! Corned beef pie mostly potato ? very small portion of mushy peas & meal overall was not piping hot ... feel it was over priced for what you got. Couple menu's needed wiped clean!Plus .... polite, friendly service.
